    Commission or rape?

    Commission! I actually met her through a friend of hers that I also did photos of previously. Very cool girl though, smoked a couple bowls etc.

    LOL!

    TY sir! Yeah that was an insane day for that river. It was the day after hurricane Ivan came through my area. I lost power for 3 days at my place, so instead of staying home I decided to go check out the local rivers. That's the Chattooga river in north Ga/SC border. Here's some pics from more normal trips etc.

    guy in the center looks like he is in a bad spot, thats gotta be huge hydrolic on the right comming down from the back to the front!

    Yeah, that was not so much a hydrolic as a huge eddy line. (A VERY strong one! hard to see the flow in a pic, but you can probably tell) The side closest to where I took this pic from was nasty. I was a little nervous being that close to it. The insane spots on that river at those levels is Dick creeks ledge, and the narrows. Parts of it wash out, but some parts get real ugly further downstream also. Not advisable to run it at those levels unless you're pro level for sure. Tons of people have expired on that river at normal levels.

    My kitty Marley..

    Fucking epic cat. He looks so mountain lion-like in the older pics that I must assume you taught him to pose like that.

    Yeah he has this natural pose thing going on. Hes an awesome cat for sure. I take him on the boat and we explore islands on the lake, he follows me around like a dog its pretty cool. He's full grown now about 3½ years old.

    Oh River, I'm purely a spectator, I'm afraid; I took piano lessons as a kid and played oboe in my high school band (the teacher switched me from flute once he figured out I have a good ear), but it's been years since I played anything. Back when I worked in theatre and opera (as a stage manager, not a performer), I worked with many talented people like yourself who play music. Being surrounded by live music all day and all night is one of the things I miss about working in the biz. Every Thursday was a jam night at the carpentry shop of one of the theatres where I worked, you never knew if 10 people or 50 would show up for a cold beer and some hot tunes. The air in there some nights was blue and thick with smoke from all the cigs and weed; it was one of the spots I couldn't stay in after I quit smoking, it was overwhelming, don't know how non-smokers could stand it in there.

    Shame I don't play, since River is clearly my kind of peep, in fact only yesterday I mentioned him to my man, who plays guitar, the two of you would get along great.

    I appreciate the kind words :) I do love to make music, and I go to jams and such around here and open mic nights etc sometimes. (not to mention by trade im actually a music publisher) Sometimes in clubs I get overwhelmed with smoke too! haha I don't mind the weed smoke, but I don't smoke cigs so it kills me. Does your man get into recording much? Still a possibility :)

    My girl is out of the country right now in Peru with her mom so I have some fuck off time to play around with before I'm insanely busy next week producing some stuff for a buddy of mines band.

    I want some oboe metal, dammit!

    Ever listen to Paul Hanson??? Dude is a god on the bassoon.

    It sounds like there are definite advantages to ecigs vs. real cigarettes, and it's arguable that nicotine use without additives and inhaling of smoke is less harmful. The important thing to remember is that they were designed to be a cessation aid, so the whole point isn't to keep smoking long-term, but to use them to help wean you off cigarettes completely--if that's your ultimate goal. Personally, I see ecigs, gum, sprays etc as just another way for Big Tobacco to keep one hand in your pocket. We're all chumps that somehow bought into the marketing message.

    When I quit my pack-a-day habit about nine years ago, I did it cold turkey, but I don't think ecigs were available back then. They might have helped with the transition, but I wasn't tempted to try an alternative nicotine source. In the end, I believe it's easier just to adjust to life without smoking altogether, rather than use an alternative as an interim step. It just prolongs the inevitable switch you make in the long run once you quit altogether.

    It takes more time to unlearn or reprogram the habits associated with smoking, than getting used to not smoking at all. Normally we crave one when: stressed; drinking at the pub with other smokers; it's been a couple of hours so it's time for a break; just had a great meal or a wicked sex marathon; listening to live music or a jam session with friends, etc etc. It feels strange at first, but it's honestly quite easy to learn to live without cigs when the triggers happen, if you're committed to quitting.

    Good luck with the quitting, hope you are able to go all the way, life is better without that habit. (Says the chronic :weed: consumer...)

    What do you play? show me! Says the chronic :weed: inhaler. Lol, I love to jam. I've done a couple of online collabs with ppl before. Pretty fun stuff actually.

    I pulled something out of a dream once into reality. = True story.

    Have you ever heard of someone being able to actually bring an object out of the dreaming world into the real world? I did it once when I was a kid, my parents will verify this, so I know it wasn't something I imagined. And I swear to you that this is a true story.

    :rofl:

    LOL! A physical object, and I immediately become skeptical. :D I still have the original recording when I had freshly woken up. (as sloppy as it is haha)

    i really i could do that!

    I seriously did that once. I had a dream that was really bizarre, and was playing a guitar in the dream. I woke up and remembered a song I had been playing in the dream, and recorded it right then (at like 4 am int he morning, in a hotel room in Montreal). Turned out to be a cool song idea also.
