Nice pic Aaron!

Thanks Martin! I should probably mention that's not a live picture. I actually held the door to my deck open and pointed my camera at the sky for 5 minutes in video mode. I had to take that picture off my desktop monitor.

Anyways, I mentioned I got my portable hard drive working for a few minutes on Wednesday. Here's one of the videos I got back. VERY depressing song, but yet, I love the emotion in it. Anyone have any idears as to what it could be? It was one of the Halloween songs TWC aired back on Halloween. It's a WMG song, so it is muted when I upload it to youtube.

So on Wednesday, I found the portable hard drive I bought back on Black Friday strangely in my school backpack. I was carrying it to and from school for months, and never noticed it somehow. Nonetheless, I thought I would give it a whirl and see if I could steal some files off of it. Sure enough, I hooked it up to my desktop and it worked! It only worked for 10 minutes, but I was able to get all of my Petoskey clips from Halloween back, in addition to some of my St Ignace clips. For some reason, I couldn't find any Bay City clips on it. After the loss of that hard drive, I had to convert the videos I had on youtube both to a WMV and an MP3 through zamzar. Then I had to download them, and then put the clips in WMM. Following that, I had to mute the WMV clip and add in the mp3 (when you compress a WMV down to 20 MB, the audio is awful).

So as I was watching a clip of an incredibly depressing song from Halloween, it occurred to me that I was up in Petoskey instead of trick-or-treating. Seems like just last year that I thought the time when I would be to old to do it was way off in the distance. This whole year, the whole "time advancement" concept has really gotten to me.

Also, here's a pic I took of lightning back on June 8th, 2008. All afternoon on the 7th and into that night, we had constant (and I do mean constant) lightning, that was actually quite low in the sky. It was freaky to walk out on my deck and have the lightning flashing just a couple thousand feet above my head.

I am for this idea! It is a great one.  Maybe it will motivate me to take a few pics (I need to invest in a camera.. ).

Opposite effect for me. I have my reasons for posting the images. As they are, their resolutions are over 3000x1500. I have to upload them to imageshack (which shrinks them), and then embed them here. I can't (nor will I) upload the pics, save a copy of the shrunk file, and then post it here. Too much work, and if people can't handle 800x600 pictures, then I suppose it's not worth sharing anything on here.

I'm much more inclined to watch "Ghostbusters" on TV Land than I am to watch the second "Volcano" movie TWC has aired inside a month.

Here are the three I can pick out...
The Three Variations to Flick and a Forecast Music

It was the first one kinda on steroids. Check the 8:30 LF from tonight btw..

I saw it live and couldn't seem to notice all that much different about it. I'll trim a clip later on this evening (downstairs at the moment).

Looks like Mike already beat me to it:

at that FaaF theme variation just now.

There are three of them from what I can pick out, and I'm pretty sure that was one of them.

Yeah, that's why I had such a bad time in football. I can't seem to run that fast anymore. I discovered back in '08 I have osgood-schlauter (however you spell it). That's where the growth of the muscle and the bone in the knee is not "synchronized", if you will.

Got an internship for the summer! I'll be working for the York County Rail Trail Authority.

Congrats Billy!

Anyways, phew, what a rush! I decided to change things up a little, and instead of taking the elevator up to the top of the Sparrow Parking Garage, I decided to run up all 6 flights of stairs (in addition to walking them back down)... not exactly easy to do on a bad knee.
