  • Two weeks into 07, back to posting

    Farm in Fog

    No, the FBI did not come after me...
    Hello to all that are still out there! I never realized how long it has been since I last posted, not to mention when I last posted regularly.  Last year was a very difficult year.  By the time October came about, my creativity and passion was virtually gone.  Thankfully 2006 has now passed and 2007 is already proving to be a far better year.  Since I've managed to actually shoot some photos again, I thought that perhaps it was time I started to do a little writing too.  I've made a few design changes, but haven't finished everything yet.  The writing will be about the same as it has been though, so there ya go.  Xanga has made a few changes in the last few months though.  Boosting seems to have become a big deal.  Do you boost posts/photos or pay any particular attention to those that have been boosted?

    Photography and Winter
    In this area, winter has been the season in name only.  Rain or drizzle underneath a regular cloud cover has made it seem more like fall than the cold blustery winter some areas have been experiencing.  Yesterday however, winter decided to fulfill it's duty and gave us a little snow.  The snow is all but gone now, but it gave me some hope that maybe we'd see a little true winter yet. (Don't let the profile photo fool you... that was last winter.)  The photos were taken on Monday Sunday morning on the way to church.  As much as I wanted snow, I always love a good fog!  I was rushing myself because I was already late, so I wound up being a little disappointed in the composition of the farm photo.  It just felt good to see something worth taking pictures of.

    Tomorrow, I'll be back to normal with my second paragraph.

    Second!!

    I missed you A LOT.  In fact, I may have wished you into posting just this week!  LOL!!!

    No, I do not boost, nor do I pay attention to anything that is boosted.  I just do my thing and pay attention to those that are my friends. 

    Sorry, you had a difficult year, here's to a great 2007!

    Hooray! You're back! I've actually was thinking about your posts a few days ago, wondering what happened to you. Awesome pics as usual. I don't normally boast pics or look at them. I should, but I honestly don't think about it. I love the pic of the old cemetary. You captured the coldness in that pic! Have a great day, Jason!

    welcome back!
    beautiful pictures...  I can almost smell it, and feel the mist on my skin...  wonderful. 

    as far as boosting is concerned...  I don't do it.  I was never my intention to have my site be a well-read, boosted site, and most of my subscribers aren't interested in it either...

    WOW! I made comment FIVE!, I'm happy. I'm Gald your back!

    WOW! If you can be sure to check out my picture on Jan 12 post-- you can laugh. Hey I'm flying over 150+mph taking pictures from a 35mm camera out of a window that is not that great. But hey it was FUN! Really missed your pictures-- I love the pictures as always. Other week I saw some beautiful horses. I have found there are a lot of horse farms in this area. Will be looking forward to your future posts and pictures. By the way I don't deal with the "boost" thing--I really don't use xanga as a popularity contest or such I just "care" about my xanga friends and meeting other cool people. By the way have you ever visited http://www.xanga.com/Alice? She shares from beautiful pictures too. Take Care and keep warm, Sharon in Athens, GA

    Holy mess. I LOVE the gravestone photo. LOVE it. I take a lot of pictures of graveyards, but they never come out like that. You are incredibly talented.

    I have never boosted an entry or a photo nor have I ever taken notice of it. Maybe I should.
  • zyllad

    Hip Hip Horray....Jason is back! :)

    Wow, it's been forever since you posted!  It's so nice to have you back.  Believe it or not, I almost left you a comment on your myspace the other day about how much I missed your daily posts, but I got sidetracked.  It's so cool that you've decided to start posting again.

    I hope you have a good day......oh yeah...and as a special request...you should start  doing the Xangan of the day again......I'm already starting to work on my acceptance speech...It is award season, you know. :)  LOL

    It is nice to have you back.  I always enjoy your pictures and your blogging.  I don't boost anyone's site but I try hard to reply to them individually and tell them what I liked.  I pray that this year will continue to be better and that lessons learned from the past, serve as blessings for the future.
  • SkyL1ght

    Wow, you're back!!! I'm SO excited!!

    Missed all of your great posts and pictures!

  • adifferentkindofbeautiful
    as long as it's hot tea! ;)

    Yeah... I don't really feel like talking about it. I posted a bulletin on myspace. Do you have one?
  • You_were_washed

    He's BACK!!   I'm gone actually.   Today is the first time in several days I've come to my Xanga.  I'm taking a hiatus for a while.   Maybe as long a one as you took.   I'm happy to see you posting though.   As to your question:  No I don't boost and I don't pay any attention to boosted content.    I've got it set so no one can boost anything that's on my site.

    Blessings,

    Lonnie
