I’ve been going on a bit of a photoshop binge lately. here are 2 my creations.
The lighthouse image was a photo I took during the day on vacation. As you can see I changed it quite a bit. The frog photo you can see below in an earlier post, nothing crazy, pretty simple-but I like it.
Nothing happened today. No photos were taken. Nothing.
And it was awesome.
p.s. thats all.
I apologize for the lack of a post yesterday, nothing really happened though. Today was a day trip to mystic harbor/aquarium. This is the aquarium owned by Dr. Robert Ballard, the guy that found the Titanic. Not a horrible place, but nothing terribly special. The harbor was alright. If you have ever heard of the movie “Mystic Pizza” it was shot there, and we ate at the mystic pizza place. There was a neat little shop called “Radio Waves” there, where I purchased the flat cap that I’ve been looking for like crazy. Below is a picture I took at the aquarium at the outdoor freshwater exhibit. Enjoy.
Not much to write about, but I might as well throw up and image from today.
These are (some of) the shops in Newport.
We started off our day with a flat. Got out to the car, didn’t even bother to look, but as we backed out-we felt the rim cutting into the tire, and realized we had a flat. Thank god the suby has a full size spare. had it swapped out in no more than 10 minutes. Took a trip into town to get the weeks food shopping out of the way, nothing special. We came back to our place, grabbed lunch and rode our bikes back into town, checked out some local shops and the general area. Nearly everyone here is courtious. Its nice. We cam back and hung out for a little while, and left for the naval base, where a psuedo 4th of July thing was going on. The NE region Naval Band and Show Band performed (which were decent), followed by fireworks. Below is todays photo I picked out.
This is the stage where the naval band was playing, with the Newport Bridge in the background.
Arrived in Rhode Island today. The photo below is a picture I took of the Newport Bridge, directly behind the place we’re staying. The place isn’t too bad. Found a neat little place to eat , that made an awesome sausage, broccoli and pepper ravioli dish that was simply incredible. I’ll keep updating as things happen throughout the week.
Happy birthday America!
As my good friend pointed out it is the 232nd birthday of this country.
From urban dictionary:
Hope everyone enjoys their fourth.

“don’t required any updation.” Yep, you read it correctly. Don’t think about it. Please don’t-your head will begin to hurt. Anyways, back to work.
Some may know that I’ve been throwing some ideas around for a tattoo I want to get. I’m not sure why I haven’t thought of this before. This is the cover of an album I own called: “Ska; The Third Wave (Volume 1)”. The skankin dude on the cover is pretty cool. I want something somewhat generically music related, and it can’t look…uhhh..feminine. This character represents dance assosciated with my favorite genre of music, ska. I like it, and I’d like to hear opinions.
Concert was awesome <see last post>. All the bands played a great show, and I was quite impressed by all of them. Little did I know this concert was also the “Paul Green School of Rock” festival. I witnessed 12 year olds covering Van Halen, better than Van Halen themselves. Try and figure that one out. props to those kids and their bands. I went with a very good friend of mine, and we also met somebody there that was pretty chill as well. ‘Twas an excellent weekend.
Monday was interesting. Let me first explain something. I don’t care what kind of IT company you might work for-Mondays are hellish, with almost no exception. This Monday was the exception. The incoming call rate was about the same as a Friday. Today wasn’t all that bad either, a little worse-but not terrible. I’m guessing everybody is going on vacation with the upcoming holiday. Bah-anywho.
Enjoy your week everybody, I won’t be posting much more this week. We leave for family vacation next week, and I will try to update if we do anything exciting.
Peace
