Holidays are almost over and it's almost the new year.
Please forgive my being so lethargic about it all but the whole
"Christmas, Thanksgiving, Birthday" thing was a big deal when I was
a wee lad and it was very important to my family and my mother.
Now that they are all gone and as I work in the bar/restaurant business,
it's not such a big deal to me anymore. It's just another day 'cept seasonal.
Maybe I have been "in the biz" for too long.

That brings me to another subject....
I am going to yell at you (who don't know shit about service) and tell you...no, DEMAND
that you TIP TIP TIP TIP TIP!!!!!

If someone takes care of your kids, pets, house, mail, food, drinks....TIP THEM!!!!!
...and for those of you who have never worked in a bar or restaurant and don't know...
it is a $3.74 an hour job. They live on tips. The rest is taxes. 15% is "normal" but 20% is only medium. Tip at LEAST 25% of your bill. It doesn't hurt at all to throw the cook a $5 either.

Damn! I promised myself I wouldn't rant.

*sigh*

What do you want for a present?

Greetings and salutations to all of those who are kind enough to read this...

Well, it's been quite a month. A quick month. A quick YEAR, for that matter.
When I was a kid, I remember a year lasting FOREVER! What happened?
Now it shoots by like you-know-what(shit)through a goose...but I digest...

There are so many wonderful artists out there and the artwork dumfounds me every day.
Just being a part of this community makes me proud.

I only have two goals as a part of this gang; helping out with showing off your work (and mine )

and making as many people laugh and/or smile as possible...

and learn to be a better photographer...THREE! THREE goals!

Make my day and I will come to your house and make dinner for you take-home-chef style!

I may be weird, but at least i'm peculiar

Shut up!

no YOU shut up!

I like turtles and shiny things.

But seriously....I am a chef and I WILL come to your house and make you fucking dinner!

(sorry about the language, i've been watching Ramsey)

ANY-hoo...How the crap do I "feature" my friends artwork? Do I have to subscribe for that option? Why do I suddenly feel like a dA noob?

You all rock!

Shout back to me...or I will come to your house and NOT cook you dinner! MUAH HAA HAA HAAAA!!!

Much Love

-Jeff

I hear music in my head when I see something beautiful or even interesting. As long as it isn't Helter Skelter, I guess it's ok.

So I sound weird sometimes. It could be worse...(insert phobia here).

I want to travel to take pictures of somewhere I have never been and see shit that I have never seen. Too much to ask?

Oh look! A butterfly!

Starvation sucks!
