Paint, Scotland & Mountains

An odd title, perhaps, but it's a true fusion of current events. This week I am painting my room blue and light cappuccino/brown, trying to finish up a Scotland photo book, and am heading to Lookout Mountain on Saturday morning. Work has been terribly light this week, unfortunately. But the weather has been beautiful and the leaves are GORGEOUS! Peace.

Tonight's Playlist

So, I'm doing some work on my Scotland scrapbook tonight, which is kind of boring without some good music. (Yes, I am ashamed that I'm a good 2-3 yrs behind on my travel photo-books). Here's what I'm rocking out to:

Ernesto "Che" Guevara


Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to watch a movie. I picked "The Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and decided to watch a movie. I picked "The Motorcycle Diaries", which is about Guevara's 4-month journey across Latin America before finishing his medical degree. Having never left his native Argentina, Guevara's experiences during this trip opened his eyes to the poverty and injustice so prevalent in South America. What I find interesting about Guevara is the path that led him to become a revolutionary and rebel. I plan on reading some of the books that heavily influenced him to try and understand how he formed his own ideologies/philosophies. I also want to get my hands on a copy of his written memoir "The Motorcycle Diaries", which will undoubtedly provide deeper insight into his Latin America travels.

Thanksgiving

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!
Today I am thankful that, amongst other things, God has not given up on me despite the innumerable times I fail. I am also thankful for the vast amount of resources by which I am surrounded. God has truly blessed my family and I don't reflect enough on His provision in my life.

Stars Concert


Last night I went to a Stars concert with Randy and two of his buddies. The opening act was Wild Nothing and they were actually pretty good. The concert was so long though, and I struggled to stay awake. It was after midnight when it ended...
It was an entertaining show for the most part, as I think the male lead was drunk. He just started mumbling words and knocking over his keyboard at the end.

Some hilarious memories include Alex's lion touque, the "lucky pillow" (I knew I should've rephrased that, haha), getting lost in downtown ATL, getting cut off at the pumps by the creeper decked out in Lamborghini gear, and almost having several guys jump in my car when I pulled up to wait for Randy. Haha. Good times.
