What is the iGeneration? Wait I have to say I have coined this name and if you use it just give me some props.

Well, first let me explain, before I explain, I am in no way trying to offend anyone, I am simple going to explain a concept presented from someone who perhaps bridges the gap. Or maybe I cannot bridge the gap at all.

First I take you back to a time when life was simple, well maybe at the time we did not think so, but now looking back it indeed was. This was a time when people wore bell bottomed jeans, granted they still do but you certainly would not be caught dead in a pair unless it were purchased for an "in" name brand. In those days it was pretty much Levis and that was about it, maybe wranglers but those were for goat ropers as well used to call the drug store cowboy types back in Denver. Anyway back to the 70's if you haven't guessed. Yes, I am an old guy, but you know what? I totally relish that. There was a time I hated getting older, but now I realize that are some definite benefits to it, older, wiser, you know , all that BULL Sheet.

OK this is one of my funny stories, well at least now it is, back then it was not! It was a great summer day in Colorado. Summer in Colorado is heaven, since you basically spend most of your days during the Winter , Spring, and Fall indoors, or sleping to work or school in the snow, so when summer arrives it is indeed a great time to be had, cause you can finally get outside without a shirt and just wear shorts.

I am OCD, my newest/original obsession is Photography!

Yep I have officially been diagnosed with OCD.Actually several years ago. I don’t know how or why, but it something I have had since I was a kid. I just did not know it then. What is OCD? Most people think is is the fear of germs, and while that is one element , OCD can manifest if in different ways with different people. My manifestation is once I get a concept or even something to worry about, it sticks in my head, and I run though it over and over. It is like I can never turn my brain off. You might say,hey that is great your brain is always working,but I will tell you it is an affliction that will make you brand new, and not in a good way.

OK here’s the deal, I have a 3 year old Bassett Hound his name is Wilbur. I love the dog, but I feel so bad, since no one in the entire family ever plays with him, so I decided it was best to find him a great home. We hope to find him a home where he will be happy and well cared for, a family that loves him, and plays with him daily.-ter

Well here is Wilbur’s story:

This is really one of those blogs that really has no purpose, other than just some rambling things clinking around in my head. :} I was thinking the other day, how many funny things I just say everyday,well maybe they are not funny, but they are kind of odd. How did I pick these up? Well I really think that as we travel through life when we meet people, and the ones we get to know, some part of them ends up with you to carry through your life, some good , some bad, some OK. For me every single person I have ever got to know I have learned something from them , in some way, shape or form. That is a much heavier discussion for another blog.

To Whom it may concern,

How do I start this email/blog, I really don’t know due to all the frustration I feel right now. I guess I will start by saying, about 3 years ago we sold our old house and purchased the current one we are in. We like many, many other people got an ARM. I was well aware of the ARM requirements, however; I planned in short order to get the loan refinanced into a 30 year fixed . In my wildest dreams I never would have thought things would have played out the way they have.

First I tried to refinance both and was told due to the market conditions , my home had dropped so much in value my LTV was no longer conducive to a refinance, not to mention even if I did refinance Beneficial had a prepay penalty of about 10,000.00, so I decided to wait a while longer. By the way when we purchased this home it appraised at 425,000.00 we purchased it for 369,000.00 . We just got the house appraised, (which is a whole other issue I will address later ) it appraised at 315,000.00 despite having a brand new A/C unit that cost 11,000.00 new carpet, new paint, the entire house has essentially been completely upgraded. What I find hard to understand is how I read in the paper homes have dropped about 10% in my area, which by my math should be about 42500.00 which would put the house value at 382,500.00 . With the amount os the current appraisal , that would put the total amount of decline at around 30%

Sorry to start off so badly , but there is an article floating around the net ( I just blogged it) about some artist that had a dog captured and let him starve calling it art. (Guillermo Habacuc Vargas had 2 children catch this dog. He paid the kids for this. He then chained the dog and used the dog as “art”. He told everyone not to feed this dog. The dog died in the gallery. He calls himself an artist. I call him an animal abuser.)

I recently had a model on one of the modeling sites I am a member of , comment on my work. She was impressed with the diversity in my portfolio. i take that to mean , the people I shoot, being of whatever background. While that is a nice compliment, it is really hard for me to understand. I mean, I was actually trying to explain this to a friend the other day, and I don't even think he understood where I was coming from.

Here's the deal, although I am a white dude from Denver(which just so you know, I never use that term to describe myself, i am more of a Broncos fan) I find it very hard to understand Diversity, my mom came from Tennessee, so you can imagine what her perspective is, while she is not a racist she for sure is s separatist, which really if you think about it, goes way back to the 50's or something. So she basically believes that people who are of color should date their within their own race, and go to their own schools etc.
