So I’m thinking I may buy a digital camera and start taking pictures of my weekend excursions and posting them here. Perhaps it would give people who have never been to Nashville a glimpse of what the city is like and when I travel I can share those photos too. I think it may be a good way to turn my focus outward instead of inward. Plus, it will encourage me to try new things so I can share them. It should be therapeutic. I find that lately I tend to focus more on the negative than the positive and it isn’t helping much. I want to change that way of thinking. Evening melancholy should just be a station name not a perpetual state of mind.

I figure I’d start with a photo from last weekend. I went to play paintball with a few of my coworkers. Never played before but it was fun. If you’ve never played, let me give you a little advice. Never shoot someone point blank in the crotch. Apparently, that’s frowned upon. Who knew? Anyway, hopefully this will be a fun hobby.

 Below is a picture of me (left), a guy named Brett and a guy named Mangal. When someone first mentioned paintball I heard it as Paint Ball. Two words. A colorful gala with champagne and dancing and (duh) paint. Thus, the jacket and tie. Silly me. Actually, I got the jacket from Goodwill for 99 cents and I snatched the tie from some six year old on his way to his first communion. Poor tyke. Brett, with his intimidating glare, reeked of intensity and danger. Mangal, with his boyish grin, reeked of cheap bourbon.
