Paul A Lanquist

A few of you actually know that I have two artists that I LOVE. One of them is T.E. Breitenbach, and his "Proverbidioms"... and other various works.

The other.... Paul A Lanquist. Fantastic! Does great Oregon Prints and Alaska Prints and even has branched off into the Colorado and Wyoming areas. For me... this is the kind of art I like. I own a few of his prints. And he has so many, I'd have to be a cagillionaire to own them all, but Damn, I wish I could.

T.E. Breitenbach is another one. Man.. amazing. If you really take the time to stare at them, you'll lose your mind. If you've been to my house, you've seen his prints that i have of his. SIGNED! Yeah buddy.

Anyway... check em out, when you're bored. Just google em..

Here's some of Paul A Lanquist's prints. They're usually called PAL prints.

Ugghhh

Man, I am horrible at keeping up with the whole blogging thing.

Truth is, how many John Wayne chips do you cash in if you're a man and you have a MySpace and Facebook and Twitter account?? Just thought I'd throw that out there. I don't have a Twitter, but I have the other two. Part of me is pretty ashamed of that. Why??

What happened to letters? Over rated I'm sure. I guess. What happened to picking up the phone?? Again, probably over rated. I have an iPhone and I use it quite a bit. Doing what??? Checking my email and my Facebook. What a geek. I know. But all that time I spent on the phone checking my shit, I could have been doing something else, I'm sure. I'm trying to figure out what.... oh.. yeah..... work. Oops. Well, that's pretty over rated too I think. ha ha. Anyway, here's what I'm doing lately.

Digging the Lady Antebellum CD, for sure. It's probably not new to most people but new to me. Got turned on to it when I was in Oregon in March the first time I went. What a good CD. Pretty solid. It's country but maybe that's why I like it. Seems whenever I go back "home" I'm always listening to country. Why?? Cause that's what I used to listen to before I went in the Marines. Yep... Wrangler wearing, boot wearing, buckle wearing, country music listening Oregon Boy. Came in the Marines, and I was still that way for a bit till 97, maybe?? Not sure. But that's when I slowed down for sure and started buying more classic music. Jackson Browne, John Denver, etc.... then that made the natural transition to Jewel, and Incubus, and yadda yadda yadda. Guess that was just time back then. Who knows. Anyway, back on track. Digging the Lady Antebellum CD.

What else am I doing?? Well, work. That's taking up a bit of time. Naturally. Working for the GOVT is sometimes not all it's cracked up to be. Don't get me wrong, I actually LIKE my job but every once in a while you're reminded that you WORK FOR THE FEDERAL GOVT. GOVT politics dont stop at D.C. I think. They seem to leech to the other areas. Like Military Bases. Ugghhh....

What else?? Hmm... well I haven't been taking hardly any pictures lately. Not sure why. Not really proud of that either. I guess I've just been focusing on other things lately. Anyway, not a whole lot to report over here, but when I do find something, you'll see it here, I'm sure. Unless you're the lucky few who actually get to actually hear from me. ha ha.... ah.... sad....

Alright kids... take it easy and I'll be back soon, I"m sure.

Another day. Heather's on the range so it's been me making the scramble to get the kids to Youth Center and be at work on time. Ugghh... Brutal!

Later skaters
