Bits

I've just been goofing off with bits of pictures I've taken
and making them all a bit stylized. 
They're not a bit fancy,
but they show a bit of what I see in God's great world.

Barely There

It's been 3 years and 1 month And we're doing okay. Sometimes, though, brother, I forget that we've lost you We talk about you, and laugh about you, and tell stories. But, you're barely there. I don't want you to fade away I want to hold onto you. I try, but it's hard. I forget your deep tenor voice, your kwerky smile, your engineer-minded projects. Your passion for all things Subaru was contagious And your passion for life was just as much so. It's as if you were a brightly lit flame for only such a time Now, all I see is what one sees when they close their eyes after turning off bright lights. Dots and sparkles in my vision of where you once were. I know this is the way it will be until I see you again, but barely there is better than not at all.

Taking the stairs two at a time, I panted into the living room to I sight I will never forget.         Mom stood, one hand cupping her mouth, the other clutching the cordless phone, her eyes wide. My brother and sister were sitting on the couch, staring mesmerized at the horror unfolding on the televi...

I have a theory. It's not been proven, but I still think it rings with truth. You can get the tourist out of the American, but you can't get the American out of the tourist. Even living in England, my American roots arent disappearing anytime soon. Americans are known in other countries to be loud and fun and somewhat annoying. I concur with that. You can spot Americans in a foreign crowd anyday.  We like to share our opinions and make our pleasures known. Like the scene from "A Good Year" depicting an American couple ordering at a French restaurant. "Where is our waiter, we've been waiting years!" "What do you mean they don't serve Ranch dressing here?" "I'm on a diet, but I want to order extra bacon bits on my calorie-free salad." Oh goodness, we're pretty noticeable, aren't we? Don't get me wrong, I love calling America home. Where else in the world can you boast a working Democracic system, job flexib...
