Marshall Soulful Jones performs "Touchscreen"

By -
Sometimes I wish that technology would crash. Our cell phones wouldn't get reception, our computers wouldn't turn on, and all the little touch gizmos would die. Now, I know you must be thinking I'm a horrible person for thinking this, but I think we as a people are to' plugged in' to our online world. I saw a picture a few days ago that had a man hugging his computer that said "I love my computer, that's where all my friends live." Now, I very much appreciate all the conveniences that technology gives us, but I find myself wasting countless hours on facebook, twitter, pintrest, myspace (once upon a time) and games of all different sorts. I also know my husband spends a lot of his free time 'plugged in' mostly his games and twitter. Sometimes I just want to lose all this online social stuff and get back to the basics of hanging with people face to face. This guys in the video is great! I hope you have time to enjoy his wonderful poem, it really hits the nail on the head.

We are moving to Australia!

We are moving to Australia.  Or at least that is what Porter thought for about 5 minutes.  Just kidding. April Fool's!!! I had an idea this afternoon about how to prank Porter.  I usually pull off pretty good stuff.  However, Porter expects it of me, so I have to get other people involved.  So I emailed his awesome boss, and asked if he would tell Porter that the company needed him to move to Australia in June.  He said he was in!  So I waited.... We went to dinner, and Porter said he had to make a call to his boss really quick.  I was only too happy to oblige.  While on the phone the conversation went perfectly.  They talked about some accounts in APAC and how well they were going.  The conversation shifted.  Then Porter stopped talking and this was the look on his face. I feel like I can see the thoughts about doing another international move in such a short time flitting across his face.  Keep in mind, we've just gotten settled here in London.   Now it&#

Impromptu Photos Shoots and Leg Hangs

 I shot a wedding the other day and rented a great lens for it.  Because I didn't want said awesome lens to go to waste I made Porter come out for an impromptu photo shoot with me last Sunday.  We went up to Westminster College campus and took these.  I think they turned out pretty well considering I set up the shot and took the pics via remote (a fabulous christmas present from the hubster ).  Porter really likes candid shots instead of posed ones.  So I try to set up moments where we can be in a nice position to have a candid moment, wink, wink.  It's not posing, I promise.  At least he believes it's not, so that is a win! The snow made it so bright.  After this picture I think we were both a little snow blind.  In other pole dancing news: I can finally do leg hangs!  I went to a class the other night with a fabulous teacher and ended up having a private session.  Classes where I am the only one scare me because all the attention is on you, which a wonderfu

Ugly Dance Party 1 Ugly Dance Party 2 Have you ever wondered what goes on backstage during a show??? What are those actors up to while you, the patron are out in the lobby grabbing snacks, visiting the lou, or striking up conversation about your feelings toward the show? Well, today is your lucky day! I bring you an up close and personal look into the GREEN ROOM dun, dun, DUN! Some activities these Hairspray actors participate in: Ugly dance competition guitar playing casual conversation eating taking pictures knitting And generally, just having a grand ol' time The Green Room is a blast, so is the dressing room, although I don't bring you footage of that.
