IIn the meantime, here are some pictures for my family and friends . . .
(scroll Down)

The Map

And now, for some pictures that I most likely should not post . . . but will anyways . . .

In colledge I was a porjectionist for the Campus Movie Theatre. You THINK it's a fun job untill you put together a film for like 2 hours, watch it over and over and OVER again during the week . . . ok ok ok , so I only put together like 2 films and only did the one week run of projecting (ther rest of the time I was only sceduled one night a week) . . . and the whole thing was fun and . . . you got payed to do homework basically. Mostly I came up with plot points for Gamma World and Alternity (RPG's that I was 'Game Master' for . . . yah, I WAS that kind of a dork).

Here's me again in colledge. This was at the newly built Library. It was built very well, or rather it wasn't DESIGNED very well. As you can see, walls didnt lign up with windows so as they built it they had to make little nooks so you could get to a window here an there. Also, the architect (sp?) didnt take into account the weight of the BOOKS when designing the upper floors . . . which ment for a couple of years many of the shelvs on the upper 3 floors were EMPTY. Now you dont have to be a ROCKET SCIENTEST to know that you have to plan for the weight of BOOKS in a LIBRARY !

From Left to Right . . . Court, Me, Michael, and Cat (behind Michael)
This was at colledge the same day as the above picture. That's my just after my Senic Design I class (aka - lets learn to draft !) and we are standing just outside the dorm Michael and I lived in . . . the Honors dorm.
I only lived there for like one year, after that I didnt qualify for the honors program any more lol.
Yah, GPA and all that.

Shortly after I failied to qualify to live in the honors dorm, Michael and I moved to an off campus apartment. Moving day was fun.
No, I'm not drunk or high or anything else.
Just strange.

Yes OH YES ! I was the MAN . . . in my Mall Security Guard Uniform ! Yes, that right people, my first real job outside of working on a farm and parttime work at the church was as a Security Guard at the Bellevue Mall in Nashville Tennessee ! ! ! !
When you stop laughing you may e-mail me with taunts if you like.
This is also at the apartment that Michael and I lived in.
I have that same couch and love seat in my dad's living room now.

Ah Bellevue Center . . . once you were the thriving center of West Nashville . . . now you struggle to stay open.
This picture was on opening day. They have since added a Sears anchor (would be on the right hand side grassey area) but it hasnt helped much.

Oh LOOK ! It's me with orange, I mean blond, hair. I'm talking with my avitar there, in case you didnt get that.

Now, for the NOT so imbarasing pictures . . . .

Yep, it's my office again. Note that tigger helps keep the wireless linksys box firmly stationed atop the plastic CD tower . . .
that's where the best reception is transmited from (I dont know why, probably something to do with all the metal in the room).
Also, that's RANDIR the rack-mounted server at the bottom of the rack there. He's the backup DNS and backup DHCP server, as well as a file server too !
In fact that reminds me, I need to back up all my music before I leave to RANDIR.
RANDIR is Elvish for Pilgrum (because that server had been a lot of other places before it got to us lol).
That's the phone network blocks on the plywood back there for the Worship Center, and all the colorfull cord next to it is the Computer networking cable for the Worship Center. We have two other buildings that have similar 'Networking Rooms' (aka closets) that are even messier (if you can believe that).

In a side note, I dont think this yellow text is the same yellow as the other pages . . . it's too dark and looks like pee.

I like this one better.

Or maybe this one ?

Hum, they look like pee too.

This one's not so bad eh ?

Yah, it's blurry. But I dont have a lens cleaning cloth at the moment so you'll just have to live with it !
The shirt says 'I like me.' . . . it's from Red versus Blue.
(see the web page HERE)

03-08-06 Wed night Youth Group (yah yah yah, the floor will be better lighted by Friday)

Our Praise and Worship Team getting ready for practice.

Monitor and Drum Riser (we can move it if you want to use your own)
The Toilet is optional, it's part of this Wed.'s message.

Mark Peters (the asistant youth pastor here) guestimates the stage at about 12 ft deep.

The chairs are more confortable then you would think . . . for plastic chairs.

part of the Allen & Heath ML3000 40 Channel mixing console. It uses VCA's, I like Sub Groups better.
(you cant compress a VCA, but you CAN compress a Sub Group)

Barry Downs (our youth pastor) cant remember how many CD's were sold at the last event,
but we'll announce that they are $8 this week so a bunch of peeps should bring $$$$$$.

We have 6 Wireless 'MiPro' Hand Held Mics and a couple-three SM58's of . . . differing quality.
It may be best to bring your own Mic's, just in case. 8-)

Cell - 615 - 504 - 4096, call if you have any other questions !

03 - 08 - 06 Wednesday Morning . . . Today they push the house down.
Or rather, they push it IN on it self, smash it DOWN to compact it, then cart it OFF in dump trucks.

It took 15 minutes to push it down, 10 minutes for the dust to clear, and the rest of today
for it to sink in. Oh well, at least my Dog is ok. 8-)

The view down the driveway.

And now . . . a Poem . . .

Dusty Rooms
By S.R. Donaldson, modified a bit by Ian Lankford

My heart has rooms that sigh with dust
And ashes in the hearth.
They must be cleaned and blown away
By first daylights breath.
But I cannot essay the task,
For even dust to me is dear;
For dust and ashes still recall,
That my love was here.

I know not how to say Farewell,
When Farewell is the word
That stays alone for me to say
Or alone to be heard.
But I cannot speak out that word
or ever let my loved one go:
How can I bear that these rooms
Are now Empty so?

I sit among the dust and hope
That dust will cover me.
I stir the ashes in the hearth,
Though cold they may be.
I cannot bear to close the door,
To seal my loneliness away
While dust and ashes yet remain
Of my love's day.

WARNING : Spelling Errors Ahead ! ! (Deal with it).

The actual night of the Valentines Banquet in 2006 (Sat, Feb. 11th)

Second to last Dress Rehersal, about the time the lighting controller somehow decided to wipe its memory..
Certanly NOT from any mistake I made . . . no no no no.

Same rehersal as above, as 'Garth' gets ready for his song to start.

The night of the banquet, what a pretty moon.

Should have gotten a picture of a table in the middle of the room, this one at the end has
very little pink on it. Oh well, use your imagnination (it looks better that way anyways).

My Sister, what more can I say (without getting yelled at anyways)

One of a series of pictures I took and modified for our Kids Church. This one turned out very well I think.

First in a series of pictures I took of our Kids Church Group. I converted the pictures to Black and White
and then pulled the original color through on a few selected items. Turned out pretty well I think.

Yah, cute factor here. What can I say, I give the people what they want.

Harrison and Maddison ! ! ! (It took a good while to do the flowers on her shirt)

Yah, again, kids can be cute. (did you know that?)

Our 10th Anual (9th or 10th) Valentines Banquet, held for the first time in our new Student Center.
I like the pretty lighting, but that's because I did it lol. 8-)

A close up of one of the Tables at the Valentines Banquet. Pretty Pretty.

Yours Truley, taken for a Black and White Photography Assignment

Another B+W Assignemnt that Steph was kind enough to help me with.
That's her barn in this and the next picture.

I like the Horse in the distance. It adds a center and depth to the picture . . . or something like that.

My Office here at the Church. When I say MY office I mean to say that a small part at the back wall is my office . . .
the rest of the room is the Audio Tape / DVD / CD / Video Duplication room AND Network Server Room AND
Computer Workshop Room AND Studio Room (for Videos, the Black wall is a nice background and all).
On the Wall to the right (behind the door, where you can't see) are the B+W Photos that I took in class.
That's Ty Homer, a super close friend of mine, riding the bull on the back wall there.

My Uncle Bruce, Sister, and I at NASA in one of the Launch Controll Rooms. And if you look real carefull-like,
you can see a Horse Barn at MTSU in a negitave wrapped around that decoratiave thermomiter thingie.

Closeup of Upstairs (its also worse inside downstairs)

Dad's three-leged Cat, Milo Minder-Binder

"What is that thing you're pointing at my face?"

"Flash me again and I'll be QUITE unhappy."

My Dog Bailey, he's my bud. 8-)

He's a sweety and a good boy too.

He can also play dead, when his grandpa Ron is holding him down that is.
The rest of the time he never stops moving.
