Fellow blogger and photographer (and new friend) Alyssa Marzolf and I have had some communication concerning the little town where I grew up in, until a mine fire made us move.. Here is our conversing through text. Thank you Alyssa, and yes, we will stay in touch.
*You can also follow alyssamarzolfphoto.tumblr.com on her site and you will be undoubtedly impressed with her work.
First off, it’s my hope that I will have plenty more Fathers Days ahead of my in life.. But it’s still surreal to think that here I am, in the year 2011, ten years after turning the immature and tender age of 21, and I have a child. A wife. A job.. Bills. Insurance payments. And all of the other things which match up to adulthood in some way..
I have a few things in life to look forward to, a few things to dread. When the moment arrives of parent teacher conferences, or nightly sporting events, or piano recitals, or speeches (whichever my son so chooses to be interested in), I may find those nights overly busy and stomach-ached due to late night fast food dinners. But it will go by so fast that I won’t have any way to even absorb the importance at times of what is truly happening around me..
It is my first Father’s Day. And my son is four months young, as I age tremendously fast.
The amazing thing in life I never would have thought of as important is this: Parents make the life of their children number one and abandon selfishness. At least my wife and I did..
Father’s Day indeed..
2011.
My time is flying by.
Stand by Me throughout the heat of the night.. goodnight all
Girl power in Saudi Arabia as they have the NERVE to .. demand the right to drive!? You’ve got to be crazy! They want to drive!? What gives them the belief that they have basic human rights!? Oh this feminist stuff has gone way too far, next they will want to leave the house with their heads exposed. We need to stop this now!!
(*And I certainly hope those reading this will realize my sarcastic humor within the text.*)

When the mood hits, just make sure riot police aren’t ready to break up your moment ..
Young lovers Canadian Alexandra Thomas and her Australian boyfriend Scott Jones getting what appeared to be hot and heavy during a riot in Canada has become an iconic image now seen around the world..
Actually, in reality, she was injured and he was comforting her. But lovers can dream..
The realization of the famed ‘shit sandwich’ upon us..
We are being told it’s dry, but it is surrounded by water.. A second plant is being threatened by flooding.. And perhaps the most interesting story comes from a web source stating that a news blackout has been ordered.
Rumors aside, what is clear: The Fort Calhoun nuclear power station in Nebraska remains shut down due to Missouri River flooding.. A developing story that so few are paying attention to—even in the wake of the Fukushima disaster.. You’d think more would be concerned.
The Great Recession.. Depression.. whichever you call it, here to stay. People aren’t happy.. they are jobless.. and they are getting restless. Misery loves company. In this case misery has a lot of company.
"The message to kids is, there’s no American dream."
This was years before my birth in the summer of 1971. But even a song last century like this has the staying power to still be popular today. Goodnight all, be safe
It is being threatened by flooding, the FAA closed airspace over it, and days ago had some issues..
So where is the media attention…? anyone?
*Interestingly, my pediatrician just argued a week ago that my son, and many more kids, may soon have such a screening.. Apparently there are some real questions over that very assumption.
A good day?
Strange day in Florida as a paternity test question halts court..
Before that, a witness said that duct tape found on Caylee Anthony was contaminated a lab tech..
This case continues to be constantly riveting.
Why can’t politicians ever do one of the following: 1) resign immediately or even better 2) don’t lie to begin with thereby making the story die faster! Realistic public relations does not exist. Wooden teeth would help. Always…
At least real ones. They’re nothing but problems, cavities, fillings, and caps. I think George Washington and those who lives in the age of wooden teeth may have had the right idea.. Unless if course they for splinters.
30% of people going for Romney in a new poll.. closest in the NBC news poll: Herman Cain.
12% of America also eats Godfather’s Pizza..
I need some collective consciousness from all for an ill family member who I having some major issues .. Won’t get personal beyond that, but please send good feelings my way.
If you feel heat you know you’re alive. Enjoy life.
Really.
But somehow her coverage of Casey Anthony is addictive.
Like all vices, we know it’s bad for us.. but we watch anyway..
AP: Florida homeowners with tainted drywall get $55 million…
Reuters: Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said on Tuesday his wedding this weekend has been canceled because his 25-year-old fiance, a Playmate from his magazine, changed her mind
AP: Google is making its largest investment yet in clean energy in an effort to help private homeowners put solar panels on their rooftops.
More than $6 billion in Iraq reconstruction funds lost
Do your homework. Look up the articles. Those and many more. Know the world around you..
The campaign will surely be interesting if there is a double dip recession.
*And when will people admit THIS IS A DEPRESSION!?
The video here.
The FBI is about to get some dramatic new abilities to look into quite often whomever it wants to.. Not only but including: Expanded use of database searches and even the ability to look through someone’s trash..
Interestingly, there is no court decision or change in privacy laws governing the bureau’s search techniques. But it’s just, well, their decision.
Time.. It’s time. It’s time to search through people’s trash.
"Casey Anthony sits during a break during her murder trial at the Orange County Courthouse in Orlando, Florida, June 9, 2011. Casey Anthony’s first-degree murder trial adjourned 90 minutes early on Thursday after she became ill during testimony about her 2-year-old daughter Caylee’s skull being found in a wooded area

News from today’s Casey Anthony trial: More evidence and the heart shaped sticker..
The jury saw Casey’s tattoo today saying BELLA VITA, ‘beautiful life’.. The tattoo was inked while Caylee Anthony’s bones were being eaten by animals close to the home..
Also today: Cindy returns to the stand and stands her ground during cross..
Fascinating day from the trial that never ceases to disgust or surprise.
The United States and Britain, increasingly worried about solar storm, now planning 'controlled power cuts' to 'protect' national grids..
Can we now consider potential acts of nature terroristic threats?
Because tonight is one of them.. Temperature around the mid 50s, a cool breeze, a bright moon. Absolute heaven on earth..
Goodnight all.
…hope you got through the massive storm that just slammed the city.. It looked intense on radar..
They are posting more photos of Anthony Weiner.. this time clothed and partially nude, at the House Members Gym.. So while they are not safe for work, they are apparently safe to take at work for Congressman…
I do believe I have heard the hum here in Pennsylvania. It’s most evident during snowstorms when no cars or rolling or moving.. I don’t think it ever shook my bed, though.. However, according to this UK TELEGRAPH article the HUM is strong enough to do just that to the residents of Woodland, in County Durham..

And counting..
I wonder if these Tumblr fakeouts will like this post?
Once a website goes black, it may never go back.. Depending on my mood, perhaps.
To be honest, the constant white background that this site greeted people with was beginning to hurt my own eyes.. We’ll see if the black background with red accents give me less of a headache.. And for those who matter, give me some feedback and let me know if the new look is agreeable to you.. Professional? Less so? …ugly no matter which? Inquiring minds crave the knowledge..
First photo of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords revealed as she continues to recover from the tragic shooting a year ago..
The world’s shortest man celebrates his 18th birthday .. he’s from the Phillipines and he stopped growing as a child..
The book of records now names Junrey Balawing the shortest *adult* on earth.. he is 23.5 inches tall.
The good old days of privacy.. Ahh, yes. Gone for good.. and ushering it out is the new world of constant surveillance, photos being posted everywhere of you, and your every move being tracked and posted online. And oh, by the way, you are doing it … No need for Big Brother to take something away when you freely give it yourself.
But now new concerns over facial recognition policy on Facebook are becoming real. Facebook is allowing users to identify their friends automatically in photos without their permission. It’s called ‘tag suggestions’ and until now it has just been unavailable. Have fun, kids, yet another tool to rid yourself of privacy.
Once people would have asked, how far is too far? Now the question is gone and replacing it is the race to tag and track it all, chip the arm, log the leg, track the call, and save the searches.
People often say, “If I don’t do anything wrong I have nothing to fear.” Wrong. History tells us that.
Facebook is fun, I have an account, and it’s easy to connect with friends. And it has perfected the 21st century abandonment of those things we once held true to: Privacy. Tag me baby, it’s the new world order.
I’m not. I put a poll on here a day ago to see people’s thoughts. I post things about the trial and add some commentary on my thoughts on the trial.. I believe all are innocent until guilty, and I believe all are entitled to a decent defense that truly questions the evidence presented by the state.
As a matter of fact, I actually don’t think the state has compelled me yet. I believe without question there are lots of things tying Casey Anthony to the death of her daughter, and the heart stick and “trouble” shirt they find with the skull doesn’t help.
But if I was on the jury, I still would not be decided. I wonder if they will put Casey herself on the stand.. and if so … wow, just imgaine the mad and insane *(and ridiculous) rush to get in the court house that day.
Not really comparable. Organized religions have been certainly guilty of some pretty harsh things. And so has government. I don’t have a body count, to be honest with you.. but Vietnam, China, the Soviet Union,and Nazi Germany during the 20th century certainly killed millions upon millions of innocent world citizens.
I guess government killed too.. but I’d be more inclined to believe that through history the ‘state’ killed due to religion much more than the religion itself.
News flash: There is a Bilderberg meeting happening now. It’s really happening! No .. really.
And sure, why wouldn’t there be powerful people meeting in order to change or make a world agenda? I consider it a natural that people would do just that.
We need to be a little concerned though when anything happens behind closed doors. The light of the truth coming in, doors wide open, that is how we find out the truth.
Left Centralia in the late 1980s.. My grandmother stayed until she died.. and if you follow it at all some are still holding out there despite government attempts to force them out.
The story is a sad one. It was a nice little town.. very nice. I would have had a much different childhood were there to be no mine fire. Instead there was, so there were fewer and fewer kids to play with and just vacant streets with the constant noise of powered equipment tearing down structures that stood in some cases for well over 100 years.

Just didn’t have any spare second to answer them yet, but answers should be forthcoming soon.
If this is the future, find me a time machine to stay in the past.
Even the flannels that women wore in the early 90s making them look uglier than they should have been are better garments than the odd futuristic designs presented at this Moscow show.
Maybe next year.
Two years..
20 years.
100 years.
No matter what year, it will happen someday, some time, in the future. Near or far. And boy do we hope it is indeed far, far away.
