    Howdy. I am a bit confused as I have stumbled upon your site while looking up pictures to make a video for youtube. (My therapy is taking songs I love and putting other peoples pictures to them)(That sounds weird actually typing that). Anywho, I love your blog. I have shamelessly been sucked into it almost 2 hours now. I am not quite sure what you do but I do love your writings. I feel as if I am right along side of you for whatever pops up around the next corner. Your photography is just beautiful. In all, seems like you are just a really awesome guy. Your life seems like what my dream life is lived out. I hope you are well. Thanks for stealing 2 hours and counting.
