It's Been A While

Nothing like missing two old friends, my camera, and my computer/typewriter. Most of you don't recall the joy of watching each keystroke come to life on a sheet of paper in front of you. We all for some uncertain dubious degree become Hemingway, writing compound and complex sentences, wishing that we were somewhere else perhaps even in a different time, enjoying an extraordinary adventure to be told after a few drinks at a later date amongst comfortable friends like a well worn shoe.

This is me the dreamer, the romantic, the man burdened by the arduous task of saving several souls from Nineveh without consideration if they merit saving or not. Still working on trying to save souls and my own after all these years. 

So I drift, and let my mind wander, for a bit of time, I get to paint images with words and whatever camera I've got at my disposal. I choose to escape and dream and experience a life different from the routine and mundane suburbia and homogeneity. For a moment, it all becomes different. I become someone else and lead a different life filled with the adventure I imagine and create. No one can take that away from me.
