I've become a tremendous fan of Ron Paul over the past year. I wanted to put together a short speech explaining to people my thoughts on what is likely needed in order for him to make any progress in the 2008 election.
The topic is a little dry, but I think brings up some good points.
Tracy and I went up to Boston with the specific intention of going to a Red Socks game. In fact, Tracy actually bought tickets to the game before we even had plane tickets. I don't often go to baseball games, but it is definitely fun checking out all of the different stadiums around the country.
This game was particularly fun because the Sox were playing the Yankees. Tracy hates the Yanks, but we're going to see them in NYC in just a few weeks.
Anyway, I put these panoramas together from the middle of the game.
I was just sitting around the other day and thought, what better way to spend my time than to create a little holiday card for my friends and family. I didn't really have any ideas going into it, but after playing around with some colors and concepts for awhile, this is what ultimately came up.
My 2006 Christmas card complete with Tux
The perimeter of the card were supposed to be things of particular interest to me. Starting with the top left corner and working clockwise they are: Mountain Biking, Photography, Soccer, SCUBA Diving, Sushi, Irish, Acoustic Guitar, NASA, Motorcycles, Singing, Apple Laptop, Construction, Scrabble, New Zealand, Nintendo (Mario in this case), and Computers (AMD)
Since YouTube has now taken the web by storm, I wanted to play around with it a little bit. This is the first video that I uploaded to it after coming back from Ft. Stockton for a little mancation.
I titled it "Barham Knocks Out Baby Bluey".
And to those people that think it's wrong to pretend fight with a doll because it somehow symbolizes that I advocate hitting babies. You're right, it does. And go fuck yourself.
When we got back from our Ft. Stockton Mancation I did some exploring of Preston's new home addition. He's been pretty excited to get this thing going for awhile so it was great to see so much progress on it.
I shot dozens of pictures of it and used some new panorama software to stitch all of them together.
A little part of my bone that evidently chipped away from the main thumb.
While playing an indoor soccer game, I had the pleasure of playing goal. If you've never seen an indoor game before, it's tremendously faster than outdoor soccer. The field is about the same size as a hockey rink and the out-of-bounds rules are similar; the ball can be played off of the walls. While the net is a little smaller to defend, the shots tend to come from much closer in.
It all happened so quickly that I'm not positive of the specific details, but I essentially charged for a ball in the box and right as I grabbed it, had the pleasure of having my hand kicked by the offensive player. After the swelling remained for a few days, I headed over to the urgent care facility to have it checked out.
It turned out that I had a small chip in the bone, though it wasn't a huge deal. After a couple of days of keeping it compressed and icing it, the swelling was gone. It only took a couple of weeks to resume full use of the hand.
I was particularly impressed how the urgent care facility provided me with a digital copy of the x-rays and a program from which to view them (albeit Photoshop works too).
