Seventeen on

Friday, May 2, 2008 at 2:30 pm

My youngest, my little boy who is no longer anywhere near little (6′2″ and growing, size 14 feet) turns 17 years old today. Since he doesn’t use Facebook (I KNOW!) or Twitter, my online birthday wishes will have to be posted here on my rarely-used blog.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIEFER!

Once again, as I did for my daughter two years ago, I’ll dedicate a 54-40 song to him:

And as for seventeen on
You think that, you know everything but you’ll fall, sometimes
Your life’s about a ton of choices and all emotions that turn and go
I believe there’s something that is coming, that we do not know

Seventeen on
Go you, where feeling is strong
Work your heart easy, set your love free
And if you get lost you can always come back, to me

You’ll worry about the future, sometimes deny your past
Waiting for an answer, too afraid to ask
You won’t sleep some nights, you won’t breathe some nights
You won’t ever find any peace some nights, and you’ll say “why me,
why me, oh why me?”

Seventeen on
Go you, where feeling is strong
Work your heart easy, set your love free
And if you get lost you can always come back, to me
To me

You’ll jump in the fire, jump in the sea
Sometimes you’ll think, how bad can it be
Don’t let it fool you, don’t let it move you
Don’t let it change, who you are
You are young, you are loved, you are all on

Seventeen on
Go you, where feeling is strong
Work your heart easy, set your love free
And if you get lost you can always come back, can always come
back, to me

The green lighting has driven me nuts in post-processing. Red is almost easier to deal with - at least it’s acceptable in B&W. Sadly, the singer, Carrin, was the one who was most photogenic (yeah, yeah, I’m a guy), and it was her the green lighting was on. C’est la vie.

I’m going to turn this site into a photoblog. My motivation to write has dwindled to nonexistent levels. Stay tuned.

Virgin Festival

Tuesday, April 8, 2008 at 10:19 am

The lineup for Calgary’s Virgin Festival has FINALLY been announced, and it looks like my insider information about the Foo Fighters headlining was incorrect, so I’m glad I didn’t wait. It’s a mostly indie lineup, so I’ll be interested to see how many people are willing to shell out $125 for it, especially with Sled Island the next weekend.

The Hip at an outdoor festival is always ALWAYS a good bet, though.

Hollywood legend Charlton Heston dead at 84

Say what you will about his rabid support of the NRA, he was a screen legend. “Get your hands off me, you damn dirty ape!”

Is this the face of a man who loves what he does? I think so.
