Art and Photography

Most of my art posts are about Modern Art , specifically Abstract Expressionism. Kline, Pollock, Krasner, and the list goes on. Photography is a little hobby and I am most fond of Macro and HDR.

Books and Writing

I like to write in my spare time. I am no Bradbury but I do my best. Most of my writing and ideas are Science Fiction as with my reading habits. I do like Autobiographies a lot also.

Musical Dirge

Music is my life. I play several instruments and write when I can. I love all kinds but Metal is dear to my heart. I can’t imagine a life without music.

My World

This is about my life and views of the world. A lot of it is dedicated to my wife and my son. The two greatest things I have ever known.

Popular Culture

This is just about things like Rubiks cubes, video games, movies and other totally retarded stuff in our world.

More Than One First
Mon, 18/01/10 – 10:04 | No Comment

Today was the first day my child smelled the rain. Vegas doesn’t get much and he was born on the 4th of July (no movie jokes please) so not much rain since he was born. We really do take for granted all the firsts in our lives and our children. There is the usual first step and first word but what about the first time they felt rain? What about the first time they looked at you with real recognition? The first smile?

Sometimes to me these things are more important. So two things important happened for me today. He smelled the rain and randomly pressed computer buttons that somehow started MAME on my Macbook and started Dig Dug. HAHHAHAHAH. I have a Dig Dug marquee. I just need to put lights and all that so he can see it from his crib!

From my wife:
     
wtf he opened your dig dug
da i think he will like it
