today w/ my community coffee

So as I sit and drink a cup of community coffee, it takes me back to louisana to MaMa's House. (my dad's mom). which was full of Family, Food, Fun and coffee.

I saw that it is offered in BiLo Grocery store which is pretty nice of them to do so. Since it wasn't available much places except louisana

The job is going, i'm having to have a bit of a re-adjustment time. But so far so good.

tis it for now
I need to create more
I have been reading more lately, and had more meditation time.

hey

I finished a roll of film the other day whoop

now to just get it developed and printed

The rain has been nice lately. Also the cold weather. I missed a notion that John Lennon died 25 years ago yesterday. I was also thinking that my generation and those after me do not really know lennon. We have his songs but I was thinking that The whom of who he was will be fading as time goes by, than 50 years from now some kid will find an old cd and play it and get hooked. and the cycle of music will continue

so thats that, its the weekend
have a great one
and don't shoot anybody

lol

JM

hi

hey ya'll

The new new news is that I recently got a job at Movie Gallery In Pooler. That is exciting
There some good opportunities with the company so hopefully it will work out well.

its the holiday season aggghhhhhh

I got H a coffee maker from the pembroke variety store for 10 bucks, Hollah. I made a nice cup the other day. And sat on the back steps and just listened for a while

It is important to listen, especially when there is so much noise going around us these days. When was the last time you sat and listened w/ out a tv,cell,radio, etc? The crazier it gets the more I realize how important meditation time is.

When I sit and listen for a a few moments it reminds me of who I am

also Aquinas Merlot (Napa Valley) is such a nice red. I got it from the Were Nuts Wine and Cheese store in Savannah it wasn't too expensive either. a website called it the following lol: Soft and supple, with inviting notes of chocolate, cherries, nutmeg and cedar. I don't know about all that. But there seems to be some great wines for under $15 these days and I'd call it one of them

OK America

OK America we need to talk

the next time you seee me give me a swift kick in the pants and holler at me and say Go take some pictures

i've totally been slacking, january is nearly approaching And I have at least 3 more rolls of film I need to take

I saw a great show on GPB yesterday about a private nature preserve that allowed photographers to come and visit and take pics it was in minesota. One of the professionals said nature photography took 2 things to be successful Paitence and Luck. This place was great they had many rare animals such as wolves, lynxs etc.

Hello Monday

here is a little late night holiday lomo for ya'll

I just brewed a small pot of muse that I'm about to enjoy.

things are a little slow, there isn't much happening.

A tad of rain

Its raining today and its awesome

The above one is from the barriers series taken earlier this year.

It seems like its been a long while since a nice slow rain. Waking today to the rain after a night of restfull sleep was very well appreciated. The weekend has came and gone and now thanksgiving awaits us. I'm leaving for B-town on tuesday. I should be back on friday So I have a day off from work to wash clothes, and go to a job interview, I hope it works well

have a great day

a pot

A pot: Going to the harry poter movie in savannah shortly

a thought: seeing the wall mart movie at the mayors house on saturday

a party; a gathering of friends and friends to be

some brown liquor: Nice to have some bourbon and great beer that I bought today, I have succeeded to drink less and it feels mighty good.

maybe a great meal or 2
a nice sunday

anyhow this weekend is mighty full It should be majorly fun
I hope to get some pictures in. I took some cemetery ones the other day.

hollah
hope to see you

JM

I wanted to

I wanted to post a few pics but I couldn't find any new ones
they are arround here somewhere

its a very nice day outside

enjoy it
stop and smell the coffee while your at it

and if you want a great coffee smell go to Fresh Market in Savannah Because they have these huge barrels of coffee beans

I think its time for a cup of Coffee

lator

what I need?

So for the 3rd week starting now I stopped drinking on weekdays. I'd have to say that it hasn't been hard even though many may have thought it might be. But also I seem to be more productive

not having a great job (still doing temp work) and living in a scummy (its dirty lots of times and my room is messy) can make the productiveness slumber

also I have a lot more money. lol

I feel a need to have more meditative time. Sometimes it seems as if i'm on a highway all day long. I also need to wake up ealier, drink more herbal tea and less sodas.

FYI if your out there and didn't know my myspace is
http://www.myspace.com/lanier801

So here are a few goals for the week
Look more for a job
Finish the SLR Roll of film thats in the camera
and take more pictures
Get Color Printer Ink

on another note

The Skies have been awesome lately. I have also been totally enjoying the weather. I even had a campfire on saturday. What a great weekend. I'm a bit tired. I watched house of wax, it was groose but not scarry. The Family Guy movie was hilarious. This season is so crazy so if you find yourself in a mall these days wrapped around a ton of people just say a little diddy

There's no place like home
There's no place like home
There's no place like home

enjoy your week. My cell is back in case you missed me.

Hollah at a friend

Old School LOMO

Old School LOMO just to brighten your day due to the heavy previous post.
I did recently sell the Zorki-4 the russian rangefinder so maybe I can get a TLR Box soon

My Enemies

My Enemies Are Men Like Me
by Derek Webb
off of: Mockingbird

I have come to give you life
And to show you how to live it
I have come up to make things right
To heal there ears and to show you how to forgive them

Cause i would rather die
I would rather die
I would rather die
than to take your life

cause how can I kill
The ones i'm supposed to love
my enemies are men like me

so i will protest the sword
if its not wielded well

cause my enemies are men like me
Peace by way of War
is like like purity by way of fornication
it like telling someone murder is wrong
and then showing them by way of execution

and i would rather die
and i would rather die
i would rather die
than to take your life

when justice is bought and sold
just like weapons and war
the ones who always pay
are the poorest of the poor

There is a lot to say about this song. I'm sure many will not like it and proably protest it. but I'm not sure exactly how to put out there my thoughts on it

So when so many make faith complicated, I will try and express the simplicty of the faith that I have.

I don't like religion.
Its more of a relationship than a relgion
I have a history of faith, in past generations that is.
I am a spiritual being who believes in a biblical creator
Each day I want to find out what it means to be more like him.



mood: thoughtful
music: derek webb bootleg
Evening: Cool outside its a nice night

Good Morning

Good Morning Monday

Nice to see you again

Me and my Brother McGee

So me and my brother David (not McGee) headed off for the metropolis of Pavo. Thats where I am at now. If your wondering about Pavo I will tell you a few things. For one it is home to the Cone Family, thats my mom's fam So I have my grandparents here and 3 familys of aunts/uncles/cousins and many seconds around here

a side note: another reason to dislike walmart
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT - news) said on Saturday it still expects a 3 percent to 5 percent increase in November sales at its stores open at least a year
This year, Wal-Mart has vowed aggressive discounts to lure shoppers, and has already launched its holiday advertising campaign -- the earliest start in the company's history. January 05 Net Income Applicable To Common Shares $10,267,000,000 I wish I had a company with 10Billion Dollars in it Reason number 9934 to dislike walmart cause this massive attack continues to grow
anyway back to pavo.
population in July 2004: 711

Its also home to the Peacock Festival Which is ususally the second saturday in may. And Cleave Dean who was an Arm wrestling Champion, But I've never met him, and The Legendary Burger Shack which is just about the only eating place in town, we also don't have a redlight but Do have an IGA and a Dollar General

and if you like geneology my grandfather traced his line back to William1 Cone, R. S. (1745- 1816) which would have been 8 generations ago from me

thats about it

hollah from pavo

sorry for the history lesson

JM

I had to turn on the word verication because i've been getting advertisement posts if this is a problem i'll try another way of keeping these loonies out

loonie

now why should you call me a loonie and have me associated with that class of people I only wanted a liscence for my pet fish Eric

......

If You think

2 Generations ago my grandparents probably lived in a house very much like this one. Its interesting to think of where we have come from. I'm not sure who lived in this one but It did wisper to me as I passed it during a drive in the country. Even though Old Houses might be a cliche picture I still love taking pictures of Old Houses

Thanks to all for a fab weeekend for those who visited the house and made a party a success and for those in swainsboro who had a fantasitc late night double feature picture show

its been great now for some grub and sleep

tie them around my neck

I need to tie my camera batteries arond my neck
I keep misplacing them either them or the charger. lol They don't ever seem to be in the same place at the same time.

DANG YOU MESS
I need an oompaloompa to come over and clean my room while I sleep

I'm recovering from last night. It was super. I had a nice cup of Muse tonight it was beautiful. Coffee is my friend, and I pledged to H to stop drinking (hard drinks) so dang much, so that should be fun.

Ok america we need to talk:
What is up with cheaters? I mean if you don't want to be in a relationship than don't and just stop being sneaky and cheating on those who you say you are into.

I recently learned an acquaintence is now "talking" to another guy while dating her boyfriend

JM

Fine Drink

So I need to have a light-hearted talk with you drinkers out there. There is a difference in grabbing whatever you can find and chugging it and finding something that grabs you in the gullet and says hey now this is good. So If you drink drink good, except if you want a pbr b/c if you want a pbr nothing else will quince that thirst lol

So for a while I was basically straight beer. I've been around the world to India, Russia, Jamaica, Ireland, and Poland with beer. I seem to be done with beer for the time being and moving onto other fine drinks

Recently as being in the last week or so I have had some Japanese Plum Wine, and some north American and Canadian blended whiskey

I've also been really intrigued with Whiskey especially bourbon. I just found out about this small batch stuff and I really want to find some. It reminds me of gourmet coffee, I've had the knobb creek before I knew much about it. But it makes sense that if you have an artisan distiller its going to be so much better than the mass produced stuff.

so next on the list is some small batch bourbon and some sake. But that's another day and another dollar, or many dollars that is lol


speaking of good food
I could totally dig some smoked mozz

I LOVE CHEESE

How many more?


Psalm 34:14
Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.

WHERE THE FUNK

must find my digital camera......

ok it was in my car

Last week: Got bumped into, another bang w/ the car, this one wasn't my fault
found a job, stopped temp work, wen't to Savannah, Pembroke, Savannah, statesboro, Pembroke, Brunswick, Savannah, Brunswick, found out I don't want to do sales and stopped the new job

I haven't taken a picture in a while. Been itching for photos. I'm not sure where to go next. The O Show is getting sooner and sooner. I am wanting to do portrait styles of people in black and white but not sure how to approach it. I sarted to listen to some Ginsberg poems, I found some barn wood the last time I wen't for a drive. I'm not sure how yet but I want to include those 2 things. But anyway the pic below is one from my last walk about. I need to increase my filmage. And just get out there and click and shoot. at least 3 rolls in the next month, and get the 3-5 rolls I have developed. That plus the digital will hopefully be plenty to choose from.

I also must post more. Thanks for you responders out there. I appreciate you.

I did find a dandy of an espresso in Savannah Its at Boba Cafe which is upstairs in city market. I think the key to finding the perfect expresso is to look for a locally owned place that doesn't try to hard to advertise their espresso. And make sure the person who makes it drinks it. Or you risk a bad espresso moment which really stinks. But i've been to boba twice so far and its pretty good.

I also got a small coffee pot for the house and figured how how to make a dang good cup (brita water filter) at home

that's enough
I need hot tea, but I think i'm out of it.
