Myspace craziness.

so as a musician, i get my share of friend request on the world famous, myspace. yes, and as a musician, usually you want as many friend as you can get to, so that you can get good exposure, right?

so About a months ago I started getting backed up with my friend request. I was just laz and didn’t look at them. well they added up and so for an hour today, I clicked “accept” and “deny.”

Ryan to the Bailey.

hey folks.

Tonight was an awesome night of worship. We had our “first wednesday” service last night at Seacoast West and It was amazing just to be apart of it. But on top of that, I got to play with one great guy named Ryan Bailey. Ryan and I have been good friends for a couple years and and we used to play a whole lot together but tonight was the first time in over 2 1/2 years and it was great worshiping with him. He’s currently working on a new record and you can check out some tunes on his myspace.

www.myspace.com/ryanbaileyband. a very cool alt country/ americana feel, so check it out.

I just love where God has me right now. I feel so at home and so comfortable with the body of believers i with.

one of those nights

Its one those nights. its diagnosed from these symptoms;

1. Can’t sleep.

2. A lot of indecisiveness with the smallest issues, (Do I want to make a sandwich? i am hungry, but do I really want to? I mean I don”t need to eat… what kind of sandwich would it be anyway)

3. Feelings of insignificance and returning issues of self worth.

4. Bordom.

Yea, you guessed it, I think its Identity.

Now let me say, Im the guy that will tell you anything straight up. I have no pride with be strong or weak. As a twenty something I know this is all normal, but it doesn’t make it easier.

I also for some reason feel like I should be so much older. I feel like I have pressures and expectations for myself of a 30 year old. Why? probably of the struggles I have faced already through being married young, disease and health, responsibilities.

 Yea I know, excuses, but I think these things make me feel like I need to have it all together, I should know who I am, and what I like to do, and what I’m good at, but I don’t!!

I feel like I need to make decisions about what I want to do and what I want to get better at. 

………………

I always have been under the thought that the devil was out to get me to Hell. Through making me see dead people (never happened) and peeing my pants (has happened), from tricking me to sin, temptation, and just al this evil stuff like repetitive numbers and horns. But I think his best tool is to make us confused about ourselves, and to make us waste time.

no photo today.  just a remedy if your feeling this way…..

Napoleon Dynamite,  the part were Kip runs over the Tupperware bowl with the orange van to show it’s strength. It shatters under his left rear tire and says “dang it.”

laughter and joy.

it keeps demons at bay.

Monday. 1.5.09

 

Today had a very devastating disappointment in it. You might not care but here is what happened. Some very loving folks decided to help me push my photo ambitions and bought me a new camera. 

We decided to buy it through Best Buy. They didn’t have this model in-stock, so they had to order it. This was last tuesday. It was suppose to be here, at my house today. All week long I impatiently waited. I’m so impatient. Finally today came and no UPS man and no camera. I called to see if there was a problem and they had some problems and ended up not processing the order. We had already paid  the full amount. I was agitated and now its on back order and I wont get it for another week. Sad Face!!!

Best Buy is testing me. I love Best Buy, but this sure is disappointing. 

So for now Ill just stare at this picture every time I have a impulse to strangle the Best Buy sales men…. in love of-course.

Im not mad, distance makes the heart grow fonder.

Today marked the resume to normal life. people went back to school, grown ups went back to work. I usually, along with many people, fall into a small depression from now till valentines day, but as for now I feel well. I have started reading a book called “Blue Like Jazz.”  I know, its been out for a while and I’m behind. I bought it for my wife when it came out and she loved it. Im going to try and finish it before the week is over. A unrealistic goal. 

Favor to you,

    CB

Azul.

With only 7 mins. left in the day, I almost missed day 4. This is a shot of my madre’s eye i took months back. Love her eyes there so blue.

Laurie.

Tried some new stuff on this one with her skin. but as you can see, she really didnt need it.

Its only the third day and this is getting hard.  oh well:)

what am I doing? I don’t do smily faces.

Bran….My Sqeeze.

I took this yesterday. Not the greatest photo of my wife, but I do like how it cast exactly the same feeling as I had yesterday when i took it. Cold, barren, and a time of reflection on the last 12 months, and the next. My scarf looks blueish in photos, and in real life is more gray. She always steels it.

 

On the music side of things. I feel like one of those great writting periods is in the works. I think things are going to change and I think for the better. More songs will be be written.

2009!

hey long awaited readers of afar. Happy new year to you and your lovers. I have made my resolutions and I have decided to share one with you.

 

 

As some of you know. In real life, by day I am a photographer. This is how I make a living in the land of opportunity. Perhaps you have seen some of my photos here on this Blog of mine. Any who…. I have decided that I want to share a picture a day with you guys. I know I know… not a very original idea but I think it would be fun to share and maybe get some feed back from you guys. Its might be a nice full post production portrait or just a cell phone pic. It could be anything. Im sure I will miss a day or two, so on those days ill try to make them up with two on the next day.  So make sure you check back day to day and let me know if you like something, that would make me very happy.

 

So here is 1 of 365. Nothing great, just so paper work. Love you and happy new year.

Cody Burbage.

This is Me and My beautiful bride. Isn’t she pretty? this is us.
