Ideas of the Moment

Thank God Christmas is past and the New Year is rolling in. The bluesman has had a hard year this year, going through some major life changes and moving back home to good ol Jacksonville. I don't mind it so much now that I've settled in to a life of having a beer at a quiet bar, playing some music every now and then and doing some reading and writing ever so often. If I ever want something to do, I just go to the movies. If I ever want something to drink, I know a quiet local bar to go slum in. If I ever need a good lady, I just call up my woman and she comes over.

If I ever get an itch for Champaign again, its only 2 hours away and a half a tank of gas. Plus, I got a new little hide away called the Play Pen in Belgium where I frequently visited before I left. I know a few of the girls who are dancers in there and I'm doing the club owner a favor by trying to publish him in Playboy. Speaking of Playboy, I only got a few days left to enter the college photo contest.  I hope I win, just like everyone else does.

I've gotten back into photo again, thanks to my friend Jon and a 440 dollar digital camera. I really enjoy doing nudes of women. Its alot harder than people think and alot more challenging to work with than just aesthetic photo AKA art photo shit.  You have to work with different personalities and body types, bringing out the best of them and the best of your ability all at the same time. I thoroughly enjoy it and wish I could do more. However, there aren't alot of prospects in a town of 19,000 and if people aren't really known to you, shedding clothes in my apartment for a few pictures is next to impossible.

Writing has slowly come back to me, and I hope to soon have a spot on here where my work will be published. Take a view.

Alright, well not much left here today. Check back soon.
