Good Music Mondays–Wagon Wheel

So for those of you don’t know, I really hate country music. I think that it’s largely cliche and unoriginal. Most country sounds the same to me. It’s the same reason why I don’t really like most rap: I feel like a lot of it is about the same thing. The song “Wagon Wheel,” however, […]

Music Mondays–Boyce Avenue

One of my absolute favorite bands is Boyce Avenue. Known mostly for covering pop music and making it better than the original, these three brothers collaborate with other artists as well as write their own original songs.

A lot of people have been asking what I do exactly to edit my photos, so I did a simple screen capture. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments. Be sure to watch them in HD or you won’t really be able to see what’s going on!

Boston: Coming Soon

  Ok so maybe I had too much fun with HDR post processing. Thoughts?

I gave an interview last semester for the university magazine, The Franciscan Way. Though some of you would be interested. Most of it centers around the background of Continuum, the writers group, and running. Take a listen if you’re interested.

Upcoming Post: Writers’ Group goes to Boston

Keep your eyes open for the truly enthralling story of a quest for the true Dunkin Donuts, the grave of Paul Revere and the search for R.C. Erickson in downtown Boston. It’s a good story. Stay tuned. Also upcoming this semester: recordings of writers’ group. I think this can be a good learning tool for […]
