break, christmas, and lunar eclipses

that's basically been my week...

and now for a couple of pics:


 I stayed up till like 4:00 Monday night/ Tuesday morning watching the lunar eclipse, I was tired, my neck hurt from looking straight up, and it was awesome! i would have had  a couple more pics if my hand was a tad steadier...you camera buffs are gonna hate me for this but  after setting up the tripod and getting all the zoom lenses on, i switched my camera to program so i could focus my tired brain on lining up the shot so i don't know what it went to for exposure(i'm thinking 1 sec) or aperture...200 iso film, slight tweaking in picasa...

Tuesday night I went with a friend to look at the lights at Sundance Square.....

 

and also went by the Pier1/ Chesapeake  building to look at these Amazing trees!  I really hope they do this again next year they are really cool!

well with that... its now offically Christmas, I wish everyone a happy and safe holidays.

Good night and see you next time

random thought

I was hanging out at Barnes & Nobels with one of my friends earlier this evening and we were looking at the Bible section, and something struck me.

Quick, how many Bibles do you have in your house/apartment/dorm room?

How many study Bibles, ones with leather covers, full color maps, ho many different translations? 

How many people do you know will loan you a Bible, or how many churches can you go to and  possibly receive one at no charge?

Ok, now how much of the Bible have you read through?

I'm going to leave it there for tonight, I'm not trying to accuse anybody, I'm not trying to say I'm better than anyone. Remember to be thankful you have full access to God's word when there are so many out there who don't.

The Things of Legends pt. 2

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


The Rangers did it! For the first time in franchise history the Rangers have won a division playoff! *does happy dance* This is history in the making, they play the Yankees Friday for the start of the ALCS.


GO RANGERS!

The Things of Legend

"Heroes get remembered but legends never die"

yes, this is another baseball post. I don't apologize.
Baseball is a sport steeped in legend Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Jackie Robinson, Nolan Ryan, The '04 Boston Red Sox. but a new feat is in the works, the Texas Rangers have for the first time in 11 years went to the playoffs and for the second time in Ranger history won a playoff game.  and not just won but dominated with a final score of 5-1.

the outlook for the post season looks good and if they take the pennant it'll be worth telling my grandchildren about, if they make the world series i'm gonna go batcrap insane...

and in case you haven't noticed this is October.

PS once my workload lightens up some...expect bits of a new story, and i promise goatman sometime soon...

I sniff books

My Name is SuperNerd64, and I Sniff Books...whew... that was tough, you know that smell of a new book? freshly bound and unread? its intoxicating, i can't get enough of it, and its gotten pretty bad...now any book will do...new, old, classic, modern, they all have that smell, and i can't get enough of it...


if you're like me please go to isniffbooks.tumblr.com we won't help you quit sniffing books (after all why keep people away from good literature) but hopefully we'll provide entertainment when you are bored...


in other news my classes are starting to catch up to me...i'm moving back to saturdays and random spots of free time....

Later,
SuperNerd64
