Deep In The Forrest

Hello, my friend, hello Its good to need you so Its good to love you like I do And to feel this way When I hear you say Hello So Hello! :) As you can see, I made it back from my biking trip in one piece. We had a good time, although a 17 year old member of our posse was the only one who caught any incriminating evidence of debauchery due to the breaking of Mr. J's glasses, but that's another whole story. We started out way too early on Saturday morning because I thought we were supposed to meet the guys about 6 a.m., and he had said 7 a.m., so we woke up at 4 a.m. and could've slept longer, which I really wished I had in retrospect. So we ate breakfast at Shoney's, had coffee and waited for everyone else who was supposed to head out with us to arrive. Finally we were off to hit the trail. Early in the day clouds were still taunting us, and we encountered a few showers, nothing major. The scenery as we headed up through Tennessee and once we crossed over into Kentucky wa...

Here we go. I actually made it eh? I'm quite proud, even though my photos are nothing special. I just can't seem to get into things and/or get time to devote to trying to be very creative. I hate that! Anyways, here's what I have... for what it's worth. I promise to make my full rounds as soon as I can... see you in a bit. -AJ Tink's Words For This Week: "Fear" and "Four" I have a terrible fear of wasps Fear Of Cleaning My Dirty Keyboard Four Pennies, all I have to my name... alms for the poor??

It's that time again, but of course I was late this week, my apologies once again! Ok, am back. Thanks for your patience and understanding guys. I'll make it quick and mainly about photos and save all my knowledge and philosophy for other posties. Check out who's playing! This week's Weekly Words Challenge (hosted by the lovely Tink! features key words: "A" and "Favorite Song" (reminds of). I'll kick it off with the "A"s... Random Grocery Store Sign At Rest Autozone Park Gate Now with the "Favorite Song" thing... I can never narrow down my absolute favorite song, and it can change from time-to-time, so I just did a few that illustrate some of the songs (remember these are NOT necessarily favorites at all so no making fun lol) Nirvana "In Bloom" The Cure "Heaven" Theme song to "St. Elmo's Fire" by John Parr Bonuses, yeah bonuses!! Where Are The Bison? ;) Rainy Day Highway Until next time, thi...

Weekly Words Challenge 87 is now! Our Wicked MC, Tink has ruled that the words for this week were Yellow and " In My Purse/Wallet ". How did you interpret them? Here are mine, and sorry I didn't make up for last week like I thought I would try to, I'm doing well to get these in. Here we goooo! I'll be by to see what you did in a bit. Mississippi Mud surrounded by lovely Yellow wildflowers The inside of this bloom and some edges have a hint of Yellow Messy Yellow Networking Cables!

My blackberry resides In My Purse, and as such so does my face ;) That's it for today I suppose. Remember, I am digging on this "Daily Blogging" phenomenon for my NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month) group, so I'll be here every day dur...

I had the hardest time posting today... I swear. Issues at work were on fire, and it was just one task after another. My day even included my mouse freezing followed by the dreaded "blue screen of death". Yeah, me. So I managed to get my photos in order FINALLY... I just hope they were worth waiting for. I'll be around to everyone shortly, I promise! As you should know by now, the Weekly Words Challenge is brought to us by the little girl with the big heart, Tink of Pickled Beef . The words for this week are: Bokeh (Definition HERE ) and Heart Let's get started, shall we?? Slightly Bokeh (barely, maybe not) Pretty Cool for Accidental Bokeh! This Bokeh makes a great desktop background (that is if it qualifies for Bokeh) I Heart Gumbo... Ribs? Not so much. Handy Heart Creamy, Cool, Delicious Heart My Heart If you haven't joined the fun yet, go here for details. We also have a Flickr group for easy shareability. Not only do you get to add "Lowly Foon" ...

I am shamefully making a back-up post. I've had a swamped week for sure! Sorry. I know I haven't been 'round to everyone but I promise I am making my way that way asap! Lazy, Rushed, and Simplified this week, I am "Red" with embarrassment and heated with "Anger" that I haven't done a better job. Here is only one photo that encompasses both words, "Red" and "Anger" (WWC is brought to us by the ever-lovely, never angry and not-red Tink of Pickled Beef!) Pictured above, the sign outside of "Tater Reds" voodoo shop on Beale Street in Memphis, TN. Reds in the name, red glowing eyes and looking quite angry! Later Taters... AJ

In the words of the great Yoda , "Busy I have BEEN!" Honestly, I thought about skipping out on the Weekly Words Challenge, but this weeks words were hosted by one of my favorite people in blogland, Cynical (Jay) Sexy Bastard , so I could not, would not skip out on the likes of him in all his perverse Viking glory... Not you Jay, No way!!! His words for this week he ingeniously set to "Door" and "Home". I tried to work on this through the week, but unfortunately didn't collect very many to enter. So I might have pulled one or two out of my archived collection. The important thing is I'm here. Yeah! So let's get the party started! Door and Home... Door To A Tomb At Elmwood Door To A Different Creature's Home Door To A Strange Storage Shed The Entry Card To My Office The Key To Door At Home These Beautiful Flowers, Just Outside My Office, Remind Me Of Home My Beautiful Mom, Opening The Door At Home Don't forget that you can always check ou...

Ahh we shall see. At any rate, Tink's words for this week were "P" and "Movie" (or things that remind you of your favorite movies). To check out everyone else who is participating, I have a banner on the sidebar you can click, or I'll make it easy, Master Participant List . Alright now, here goes. Let me start with "P" : Pepsi!!!
