about javajoe

Need to contact me? Just send an email to javajoesPictureoftheDay@gmail.com!

 

Smile a lot -- it makes people wonder what you're up to! I grew up in the middle of nowhere, and that will always be my home. Now I'm into computer technologies -- it drives me crazy sometimes, but I love it. 

Since joining GOLO, I've decided to start a Picture of the Day blog. Each day, I'll try my best to post a photo from my personal collection. While I'm at it, I'll ask a few questions or make a few comments to get your brains working and the conversation started. Everybody has a story to share -- feel free to share yours!

  • javajoe's Picture of the Day archives.
    • Here, you'll find all of my Picture of the Day posts from the past. Even if the day has already passed, stop in and share your comments - I'd love to hear them.
  • javajoe's Picture of the Day Group
    • Join the group to keep up with my daily blog post. Sometimes I post at 1-2AM, and by the time many of you login, my blog has disappeared from the GOLO homepage. So join the group, and easily find the link directly to my blog each day after I post!

favorites

favorite music: anything that is easily understandable. songs with gaps after every word after being censored? no thanks...

favorite movies: oldies but goodies, classics - in other words, maybe 1-2 movies that come out each year nowadays

favorite hobbies: photography, computers, googling, keeping up with the news

favorite tv shows: the news, almost any comedy, lost

favorite restaurants: my kitchen - there's always something available and ready to eat, no gas mileage involved

favorite web sites: www.wral.com of course

favorite vacation spots: anywhere with a load of stuff to photograph

Hey Joe, I grew up around West End, in Moore County. You know, down in the Sandhills, it doesnt snow very much. My Dad ran a gas station and I used to hang out there and watch the sky and the weather so intently, hoping against all odds that it would snow. I was in the military for ten years, and traveled all over the world several times. I LOVED Alaska, and love the winters...even though sometimes it seems unbearable!! It has been a nice enough winter, although, they say it is the fourth coldest October in the over 100 yrs. that they have been keeping records.

We might just do that. It's hard getting good pictures, though, with any camera we own. If it's too dark, you just see colored blurs instead of bulbs and if it's too light outside then it just doesn't do it justice. As for watching progress, we do it all in 1 day. We are nearly crippled by evening but it's all worth it when it's done. We add something new every year. Last year it was a Ferris Wheel. This year it's a Teeter Totter and a few other things. Love it. Love it. Love it.

Christmas Carol "

I took my kids to see it years ago. The set and costumes are wonderful. Back then, the play was more geared towards kids. It may have changed.

I did not realize that Durham was jumping into the Broadway series. With the economy down, it will be tough for two theaters this close to find supporters.

The Christmas Music of Mannheim Steamroller by Chip Davis Monday, Dec 1 8:00p at Progress Energy Center for the Performing Arts: Memorial Auditorium, Raleigh, NC Mannheim steamroller christmas concert

We saw them at Easter and loved them. If you like this type of music, this might be nice for Christmas.

If you like Ballets, we have seen some nice exerimental ballet companies around Christmas, too.

The Nutcracker "

We took the kids to see that. Again, nice sets and costumes. If you don't like ballet, I'd take the entertainment dollars elsewhere. It is still a ballet.

We saw the Trans Siberian and loved it. It is similar to Mannheim.

I do not know about the 3 redneck tenors. I will google it.

The stores around here just kind of throw their stuff up..it is not what I would call decorating. Maybe they need to hire shoebaby. Also I have to tell you that I got the snowmachine all together and on the tree. I love it. It is so soothing. The pump actually makes a little noise like the ocean. So to just sit and listen and watch the snow makes a beautiful end to a gruesome day. I have not taken any pics yet, but I will.
