It is fun to learn new words and try to work the in to you vocabulary... the word I present to you is "adroit.' However, I am going to leave the definition up to you. Look it up and let me know what you think. =)

Day 124 - Worlds Away

No matter how massive, grand, and intimidating the world may seem at times -  remember we all sleep under the same night sky. It has happen to all of us at some point or another, we feel alone, isolated, like there is no one to talk to. you can feel like you are worlds away from that one person but when you go outside and look up I can guarantee you that you are both staring at the same moon.

Day 123 - Musical Reflection

Who doesn't enjoy a good tune? But its those few songs that touch you that make you feel like they were written just for you. Think of what it really takes to be a musician, to pour out your heart and soul - to put your inner most feelings out to the world. T'is no easy task and I take my hat off to all my musically inclined friends.

Day 122 - Pretty Little Pups

Don't let them fool you, as cute and cuddly as they may look they are mischievous little devils -  especially Emma (the German Sheppard)!! i love how dogs and animals in general have their own personalities and temperaments, they make great additions to any household!!

Day 121 - Desert Road

I realize it has been over a month since I last posted and the picture per day is not going to work out. However, I do enjoy posting a picture and some thoughts. I will continue with the blog but it won’t be a daily thing. hope you continue to enjoy the pictures.

It has been a week since I have been back state side, things did not go as I had planned them. Originally I intended on living and working in Brazil for five years before coming back home. Now that I am here I find myself without direction, I do not know what to do. I have options and all are appealing but I think it boils down to I do not know what I want. I had a five hours ride from Las Cruces to Hobbs and found myself thinking “Should I start working? Should I go to law school? Should I join the Air Force? Should I just go for a master’s?” I truly did not expect to be here where I am and I stopped and took this picture because it expresses how I feel – I stand here looking down a road that seems to have no end and the only way to find where it leads is to continue down that road. I decided on what to do by asking a friend for advice… but I did not base my choice on her advice but rather on what I was hoping she would say. If you find yourself in the same situation try it and see for yourself, subconsciously you are rooting for one of the choices more than the others.

 So I ended up liking the harmonica so much so that I invested in a wooden handmade hamonica. Well worth it, the sound that comes from this little thing is beyond incredible... now if I could only learn to play it like "Bad News Brown." Say what? you do not know who he is?  Ok well click here and listen to his song "Reign", This guy is BAD-ASS!... Alas he "was" bad-ass - sadly he passed away last year.

Day 100 - Hipper than a Zipper

So as I sat on the bus coming back to São João del-Rei I couldn't sleep and it was to dark to take a picture of anything out side so I snapped a pic of my backpack's zipper.

Day 99 - Huge Easter Egg

So here in Brazil it is customary to give huge chocolate Easter eggs on Easter Sunday... this was the egg I got from Rosana. The coolest part about this egg is that is was homemade and half milk chocolate and half white chocolate... and to top it off it was filled with even MORE chocolates. It is going to take me forever to finish this egg, BUT I LOVE IT! Obrigado Rosana!!

Day 88 - Ehecatl

This is how my tattoo artist, Andrés, drew up Ehecatl - the Aztec god of wind.

I am going back to this guy for sure for my next tats.
