Lion fish...

2009-01-26T14:40:00.000+01:00

I know it has been a while since I last posted. I am posting now because I want to let everyone know that tomorrow I am getting a real lion fish for our aquarium. So I will be putting up some pictures tomorrow or Wednesday.

Post Office Info...

2008-12-17T04:41:00.000+01:00

OK well now, since I have been in Europe I have visited a few totally different parts of the world. And as expected the government services in those places were also different. Every place that I went I sent some postcards to people in the states and I paid attention to when people said that they got them.

Switzerland 4-5 days
Spain 5-6 days
Egypt 3-4 weeks

And everyone who has read James' account of our trip to Egypt should not be suprised by that. I am actualy more suprised that they made it out of Egypt and to America but then I was staying at the Hilton (great choice in a bad security country) so I figured that they would be a little more responsible than the average Egyptian hotel.

Signs, Car Wraps and More...

2008-12-13T11:30:00.001+01:00

As everyone knows I am doing signs. Well I have decided that I am going to really go for it now. So I have recently done some re-do's to my website, started paying for some Google AdWords and I have a few other things in the works.

I just wanted to make a post about it so that everyone knows that I am still doing it. If you hear someone wanting some signage, thinking about starting a new business or complaining about their current sign company, let me know. Tell them that you have the perfect person, I won't disappoint. I don't like failing so that won't happen.

I will pretty much do signs anywhere. I really want to start wrapping cars, so I really would go anywhere in the country for that.

If it's a small job or a big job close or far I will get it done. I just need a little help getting the word out. Post my web address on your blog and on a friends blog, if I can give you some business cards please tell me, look at my services offered on my website and think of who you know that needs something, give me new ideas...

The Office...

2008-12-09T22:29:00.003+01:00

So, as a business student I like to keep my eye out for humorous depictions of the business environment. And anyone who watches The Office knows that there is enough funny stuff in there to go a long way. Well I was just watching the latest episode and decided that I wanted to figure out how to record the videos that I'm watching so that I could post them for your enjoyment.

This clip is from The Office season 5 episode 9.

Zermatt, Switzerland Part 6...

2008-12-08T20:00:00.001+01:00

I think Grampy is not telling us something.

The Matterhorn at night. I left my shutter upen for about a minute and a half for this picture.

On the train on the way back to Geneva I saw this in the middle of the circular.

Zermatt, Switzerland Part 5...

2008-12-08T19:58:00.000+01:00

The town does not allow cars in it. So most hotels and taxis have enclosed golf cart looking vehicles. This hotel has a horse drawn carriage.

Zermatt, Switzerland Part 4...

2008-12-08T19:55:00.001+01:00

Ok see the snow, now see the water? Yes, they are about an inch away from each other. That is how cold the water was.

Zermatt, Switzerland Part 3...

2008-12-08T19:35:00.002+01:00

Same snow storm, and the view from the balcony of my room.

Ok, so we all know that I'm not the most compassionate person. But come on, tha dog has to be ready to bite it's owner. It's about 10°F out and the guy is talking to someone while his tiny dog is standing in the snow.

Bakery items.

My second day of skiing was perfect. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. This is the Matterhorn mountain.

Zermatt, Switzerland Part 2...

2008-12-08T19:22:00.001+01:00

Train on the way there.

My wonderful hotel room.

My second day there, it was snowing.

Zermatt, Switzerland Part 1...

2008-12-08T18:52:00.000+01:00

I'm back...

2008-12-08T18:13:00.000+01:00

I just got back to my apartment. I have some work to do then I'll post some pictures. It was so much fun, the skiing was a lot tougher then in the States but I managed without any broken bones.

Red Sea Sting Ray...

2008-12-01T22:13:00.000+01:00

Picassa is really a great program, but then what would you expect from Google.
Anyway this is a picture from the Red Sea, I just "found" it when I was going through my pictures with Picassa.

Snow in Madrid...

2008-12-01T18:18:00.000+01:00

Well now the question that I have been asking is answered. It does snow in Madrid. It snows in the middle of the day in Madrid. Not the greatest picture but it only snowed for a few minutes so it was the best that I could get.

Red Sea pictures...

2008-11-28T13:55:00.000+01:00

My Red Sea video...

2008-11-28T13:33:00.000+01:00

Some more pictures...

2008-11-25T16:01:00.000+01:00

Egypt Pictures 2...

2008-11-25T15:59:00.001+01:00

Egypt Pictures 1...

2008-11-25T15:52:00.001+01:00

We made it back from Egypt...

2008-11-25T15:07:00.001+01:00

We made it back from Egypt earlier today. We went diving in the Red Sea and I got to ride a camel around the pyramids. I will post pictures later.

Next Tattoo...

2008-11-15T17:19:00.002+01:00

To continue the bucket list theme I have decided to get a Lionfish tattoo on my back. I wanted to post this because I want some opinions. I was thinking about getting a lionfish with a pyramid, for seeing the pyramids and diving the Red Sea. I don't know if I want the pyramid. I am going to hopefully use a picture that I take of a lionfish for that but I dont know how the pyramid would look or if I really want it at all. So leave some comments and let me know what you think.

Fell Through The Cracks...

2008-11-07T23:41:00.000+01:00

Here are some pictures that I just stumbled upon. I took them when we were in Tennessee back in July.

Zoo...

2008-11-02T14:49:00.000+01:00

OK, I get the hint.

These are pictures of the Madrid Zoo. Grampy and Linda came over for a week (and a day thanks to Delta). We went to the zoo one day!

Spanish music...

2008-10-19T17:14:00.002+02:00

We went to a Spanish concert last night. It was pretty cool. There were 2 groups that performed and each person in the group was able to play many insturments. It was not a traditional concert. The groups played music from all around Spain. Different cultures and influences. I did not take my camera but others did so when this trip is over I will have some pictures of everything.

More Pictures...

2008-10-15T21:51:00.003+02:00

This is our hostel in Santiago. It was a million-year-old monestary. We are way down there on the bottom. Very cool place.
This was last weekend in Toledo. It rained all morning so I didn't take a lot of pictures, but this was in the afternoon after we ate lunch.

Pictures...

2008-10-15T21:34:00.002+02:00

Ok here are some pictures that I have taken over the past month or so.

This is the group of us that went to La Coruna last month. This was of an Atlantic sunset and us in the picture. I thought it turned out pretty cool.

This is my "Atlantic Sunset" picture. I know that my high school photo teacher always said she was tired of seeing sunsets. Well this was an item on the list and I really wanted to see an Atlantic sunset. We almost missed the train because I had to see it but I got the shot and we caught a cab and made the train back to Santiago.

When we were on the way to the lighthouse there was this small isolated beach that had two entrances. One was a nice boardwalk on to the sand from the main road, the other was a very steep clif type of path. I don't really think you could call it a path. It was a fun little adventure.

This is the park right by my school in Madrid. I spent a couple of hours walking around it one day. I didn't fine very many bugs to shoot but I thought that I should take some general pictures of the park. In this picture it is much greener than when we first got here. It is looking better and better every day.

Another picture from Santiago. I didn't even know I took it until I was looking at the pictures on my computer.

How demanding...

2008-10-15T21:13:00.001+02:00

I am looking at some pictures right now. I will post some within the hour.

Toledo...

2008-10-11T19:35:00.003+02:00

We traveled to Toledo today. It is a town that has a lot of history and is known for metalworking.

I purchased a large sword and a smaller knife that I will use as a letter opener on my desk some day. The small one is about 12" long and the big one is about 3 or 4 feet long.

Still waiting...

2008-10-07T23:36:00.001+02:00

I know it's been a while. I am still waiting on my computer. It should be here any day. Today our landlord did not get the mail because there was a problem with the freezer. The entire thing was pulled out in the kitchen and one of the guys from Argentina that lives here was mad at her because his food was going bad. It was actually kind of funny. She had to fix the thing, I don't know what he wanted her to do.

Anyway, hopefully I will get my computer very soon so I can put up a few pictures and get back t life as usual.

Update...

2008-09-17T08:58:00.002+02:00

Ok so Mom said I need to post some more here. Something about people checking it and not seeing anything new.

I have been sick for ab0ut 5 days now. They don't have Advil Cols and Sinus here so I have had to weather the storm. I am almost better now. Linda sent me a package with some medicine in it so the next time I get sick I will be able to take something.

She also sent me a blanket. I can't wait until this gets here. Right now I am using a top sheet. They don't have real blankets here. I don't understand why but they don't.

In the meantime I am just going to school every day and that's about all. I am getting ready to book my trip to Switzerland. I will be going to Zermatt, Switzerland. It is a little town in the south and there are no cars. I have to fly into Geneva and take a train. So I will fly in on Friday and ski on Saturday and Sunday then leave on Monday.

I know it's dissapointing but it does not look like we are going to October Fest. I know Doris really wanted me to go. After looking into it here, we found out that it is somethign that should have been booked months ago. The airfare and hotels are so expensive that it does not seem like a good idea to me.

Mom still has not received my computer. Which means that it is not yet repaired. So I still can't really post pictures. I will write more in a couple of days.

Madrid...

2008-09-09T22:36:00.002+02:00

As some of you may have guessed or read here Madrid is not an amazing city. It is very brown, coming from the US from two places that are exceptionally green this was quite different to me. Today is the firt time since I have been here that it has rained. And it lasted for about 10 minutes. There is lightning off in the distance right now and it is quite amazing. It is a very large lightning storm. Which has prompted me to add an entry to the list...

Interesting...

2008-09-08T23:23:00.003+02:00

So with some extra time I have right now I went and did some web surfing. One of the places I went to was Mark's blog. And on that blog there is a very interesting quote. Those of you who know me will realize that this quote really works for me. So I would like to say thank you Mark for the quote. And if Someone could pass this along to him so he can see my pictures and so he can see that he gave me a wonderful quote. So now for the famous quote.

"Normal is only a setting on the dryer"

That is a truly fantastic quote. I honestly don't know why it is so amazing it is kinda like art. Where there is no reason why it is great you just feel a certain way when you see it. I think its great.

Weekend Update...

2008-09-08T22:35:00.005+02:00

This weekend was great. I went to Santiago de Compostela and La Coruna. They are both in North Western Spain, La Coruna is right on the coast. It is the home of the oldest lighthouse in Spain, and Santiago de Compostela is the home of a very large church. La Coruna was my favorite. It was right on the coast and I was able to see the sunset on the Atlantic Ocean. La Coruna is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It was not dry and brown like Madrid, it actually rains there and there is grass.

This is a statue that is on the hill of the lighthouse.

Everyone on the trip was from UF there are eight of us. That is the lighthouse in the background.

I can't upload any more because of this little computer. I have no way to turn down the quality and make the file size smaller so it takes way too long to upload the pictures. I will post more once I get my other computer back.

Weekend plans...

2008-09-05T11:28:00.002+02:00

This weekend we have a four day weekend. So I am doing some traveling. We (other peeps from UF) are going to Santaigo de Compostelo. It is a town that is an 8.5 hour train ride from Madrid. It is supposed to be really beautiful, there is a cathedral that I guess is world famous and many other things to see. I would like to see a sunset on the Atlantic, I don't know if I will be able to but I think it would be cool.

I will of course post some pictures once I get back on Monday night.

This is great...

2008-09-02T20:58:00.003+02:00

I am putting a few of these up because I am looking for my favorite one and I can't find it. So I am coming across these other videos. Very very funny...

Funny Stuff...

2008-09-02T20:43:00.002+02:00

so I am home from school now and dont have much to do. some people choose to put funny things on their blogs. Not that I am copying those other people I am just expanding the usefulness of my blog. so now you can come here to see stuff about my trip to Spain and some funny stuff.

Update...

2008-09-02T16:28:00.003+02:00

Today was great; however, on Sunday my nice, big, million dollar HP computer broke. Yes, it broke and yes that is the second time in a month that the piece of garbage has broke. It worked fine for an entire year then when I decide to travel 6000 miles away from my home it decides to have all of it's problems.

So, I went out and bought a computer that has a 7" screen and is the size of a portable DVD player. It's working but it's quite entertaining to use. It has a spanish keyboard and since it does not have a cd-rom drive I can't change the language of the operating system.

Anyway, everything is going great. Today was the orientation at my school. It seems mostly to be pretty easy. I will post some more pictures as soon as I have them!

Sushi in Paris

2008-08-31T12:39:00.004+02:00

When I was in Paris I had to go out for sushi. I am pretty much addicted to sushi. So I went into a bookstore, looked in a Paris travel guide and found a sushi place. I didnt buy the book I just went over to where they were selling pens and wrote down the address.
The sushi place was the coolest place ever. There was a track that went around the sushi bar and around the tables. The sushi chef made sushi then put it on the track so while you are eating you can take more sushi off of the track. It was very cool, not to mention the most expensixe sushi I have ever had, but cool. It was around 60 euros which comes out to around 90 dollars.

The sushi bar with the track going around it.

More pictures...

2008-08-31T12:25:00.003+02:00

This is outside of the museum. That is the pyramid thing in the background.

Pictures...

2008-08-26T21:39:00.003+02:00

Ok so everyone has been harassing me for some pictures so here are a few. I only have a few with me in them and then there are a few that I think are fantastic.

This was close to the Louvre museum.

I thought this was a great picture.

2nd platform on the Eiffel Tower(There are three).

Taking this picture was on my bucket list.

I made it!!!

2008-08-26T15:06:00.002+02:00

I am now in Madrid. I actually made it here. Pretty cool considering I didn't know any French and only a little Spanish. I will post pictures later on.

In Paris...

2008-08-24T23:46:00.002+02:00

I have been in Paris now for a couple of days. Everything is going great. I cant upload any pictures yet. The internet here is a bit slow and the keyboard is different and I cant hook my computer up to the internet yet so no pictures. I will post pictures and another update once I get to Madrid.

Waiting...

2008-08-21T09:28:00.002+02:00

Now I'm sitting in the Salt Lake City airport. Waiting for my flight at 6am.

EGYPT!!!!

2008-08-21T03:19:00.000+02:00

I just booked my flight to Egypt!!!

Today is the day!!!

2008-08-20T17:47:00.001+02:00

Today is the day on which I will set out on my journey. I am flying from Salt Lake City to Atlanta then to Paris. I will have my camera with me at all times. I am trying to make this more of a photo journal rather than me actually having to write to describe where I am and what I am seeing.

Computer problems

2008-08-05T05:29:00.000+02:00

Well just when I thought that the computer guy would never have a problem my computer died. It first was having a problem because HP decided to put in a cheap switch from China which failed. Then earlier today it installed an update from Microsoft and it would not reboot. I don't know if it was the update or what it was but I will never buy another HP, it was 26 days out of warranty and they would do nothing to help me.

Anyway, I won't be able to upload any more pictures until I get my computer up and running.

Trip to Georgia pictures...

2008-07-11T00:12:00.002+02:00

I was with my family in Georgia for a week. Here are some of the pictures that I took.

Mosquito on a Flower

Orange Star Flower

Seed Pods

Red Flower

Pink Flower

Update on plans

2008-07-02T04:26:00.001+02:00

So I have done the research and diving the Red Sea (see bucket list entry) is going to cost about 600 Euros. Convert that to dollars by multiplying it by 1.6 and you get $960. So yes its expensive but how cool is it going to be. So that is the one thing that I will be doing when I am over there.

Bucket list

2008-06-12T23:24:00.000+02:00

I figured so that I do not forget what is being added to my list.

A couple things I want to add...

own a sushi resturant

dive the Red Sea

Map

2008-06-03T23:10:00.000+02:00

Here is a map of Spain. I will be living in Madrid, which is in the center, but I will be traveling everywhere.

Getting ready

2008-06-03T23:02:00.000+02:00

Hello,

This is where I will be posting pictures and snippits about my coming trip to Spain in August. I will be leaving for Paris on the 23rd of August and I will be going to school in Spain for about four months.

Honestly I dont really plan on posting many things here. Maybe mostly pictures. And in the end I will probably be moving this to my own website so I can upload pictures easier. Or I can have this page and the other page seperate for my pictures.

I will post here once I actually have something to post about.

Currently i am getting my phone that works in Europe and taking care of all of the little things.
