What a crazy summer. I had some up’s, and a lot of down’s. Frankly at this point, not a lot of it matters as it’s neither here nor there.
If there was one song that has meant more to me than any other song, it’s the song “Fix You” by Coldplay. It means so many things to me on so many levels, I can’t fathom typing it out or even trying.
Fix You - Coldplay
When you try your best but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse.
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above earth or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream, down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I…
Tears stream, down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I…
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
Inevitably, as with most computer-related things, the previous version of the Wordpress software I was using was out of date. Usually I dread updating server-side software — mostly because I tend to forget the login information to access the FTP side of the server, and its generally a hassle to backup and upload new files and update. However, the update to Wordpress 2.7 was super easy and the whole thing was done from within my browser with simple clicks of “Next” and “OK”.
Maybe this will prompt me to actually use my website more and to add nifty plugins and widgets and such.
Then again, maybe not.
This my friends, is Irony at its best.

Last weekend I had the opportunity to go with my church College and Career group to a cabin in the Northern part of the Lower Peninsula. I’ve been a few times now and I really enjoy going up for a weekend of lazyness.
One of the main reasons I like going is that its a very photographic place. Theres no shortage of panoramaic shots, people, wildlife, astronomy, etc shots to take. I think this is my favorite shot to date. I love the deep blue sky, the fluffy clouds, tree line and wildflowers. Pictures like this make me want to go back for another weekend.
Hopefully I’ll have the chance to go back this fall and take some nice Michigan Autumn photos.

I think this is my seventh go-around at a site. Each time I try a new blogging technology or website development software, I say “I think I have a winner”. Well, I’m not going to say that this time. I’d like to think I can settle down on a technology that works for me and start cranking out non-sensical blog posts about random things that I like, but by now, I know that probably won’t be the case.
Previously, I’ve used Rapidweaver and Sandvox, and both programs are dynamite programs to use. My only qualm with them is you are locked to one computer. At first, I thought the logical choice would be my Macbook, but then I purchased an iMac and wanted to use that, which isn’t mobile.
Thirty revolutions later, I’d switched back to Wordpress after seeing a nifty story on Digg about Wordpress themes that are free but look like you paid for them.
Hopefully this will be a winner (but don’t be surprised if I never update it, or change to something else)
