...Now that the movie is over, and I am home, I can try to do a mini-review. Overall, the movie is hilarious. If you choose to go, go with another person who is a fan of The Simpsons. The jokes are great, the first 15 minutes of the movie killed me so be sure to get there on time! All in all, this movie is all it's cracked up to be. It's funny, every simpsons character ever is in the movie (i noticed one person missing, i'm sure there were more), and it's just a good time. So go see it, and come back and tell me what you thought of it!

Been a loooong day. I'll explain later. In the meantime, In N Out has

new boxes for "animal fries" and I think that's cool. If you've never

had these fries, order them!

Mike, Jen & Emma 2

I'm so excited to become an uncle! This will be the first Upson girl to be born since my aunt (over 60 years ago). This photo is of my brother (Mike) and his fiance (Jen) showing each other their bellies. I think Mike may have a larger belly, but Jen is catching up. They're both so happy, and the 2 grandmothers-to-be are excited as well! I hope this brings both families closer, because Jen's family is so much fun!

Seems like the season of babies, so I had to post something about these 2.

On another note, come see me in Malibu with Jonathan Jones, of Waking Ashland, at the Malibu in tonight (thursday) playing some of his new solo material. Check him out here:

The 2nd one is his new band that will be a full rock outfit. GREAT songs to come out of that. See you soon!

Racine 3

I made a new friend about a week ago. His name is Racine. I got to feed him, brush him, help wash him. His owner is also my new friend. I didn't feed or brush her though, I think she's very capable of taking care of those things herself. But Racine and his owner had some jumping lessons, so I went to take pictures. He never jumps, but he did a great job. This shot is after his lesson. He gets to run free and roll around in the dirt and romp and kick and have a good time. He was showing off a little and would run towards me, kick up dust, and take off again.

I love vacation, it's giving me time to do the things I need to do. Too much personal stuff to get into right now, but spending some time with Racine was some much needed therapy. If you ever have the chance to connect with a horse, do it. They are a good time.

So here it is. The news. Some of you already know about this, so forgive me for repeating myself. I will include some other photos in this post to make it worth your while. But this main picture says it all. Amour. It's a clothing company my buddy Travis is starting, and has asked me to start with him. He does some good design work, and I know (and love, of course) a billion people. Together, we'll make this happen.

There it is. Nothing is for sale. We are working on ordering the shirts, making the screens, printing the shirts, and getting them up online for you to love and purchase. The illustration attached is a SMALL sample of the kind of design to expect. These designs will be simple, lovely, hand-drawn, and fun. We're not afraid to have fun. And we're not afraid to wear fun. If this doesn't happen in the month of July, forgive me. It'll come soon!

7 Shot Hummingbird

This shot has gotten so much attention on Flickr.com!! Hundreds of views in just 10 days. I sat patiently in my parent's backyard and finally caught the hummingbird getting some food.

Flower Alone

This lonely flower was just waiting to be photographed. I saw it abstractly, and took it. it was almost amongst other greenery, but it's location forced me to frame it this way, thus making it absolutely stunning to my own eye. I personally LOVE this shot.

New Phone

Last but not least, my new phone. I am retiring cingular, and picking up t-mobile. Cingular, thanks for the last 8 years. T-mobile, you'd better be good to me.

Thanks for visiting the .com,
