Since I’m Not A Rock Star- A Few Random And Quirky Things About Me
When I was young my mother used to tell my brother and I that we could go out into the woods behind my grandmother’s home and dig a hole to China. We believed her and dug until our hands were hurting. I remember asking my brother, “If we can do this, do you think the Chinese people will be upside down?” “How will we be able to talk to them since we don’t speak Chinese?” My brother said, “They probably speak our language too, so it won’t be hard.” The joke was on us, we spent 2 hours digging big holes while my mom and grandmother had time to chat without interruption, pretty creative idea mom!
I love to take random photos like the photo you see as my default photo for this article. If I take pictures of people, I make sure to ask for their permission first. The man above was drumming on a large plastic jug with a plastic lid. He was facing the river along the River Walk in Augusta, Georgia. I’m embarrassed to admit that I initially approached him because I thought his canister (jug?) was sitting on his lap because he needed money. He sang as he beat on the jug, it was Reggae and he was a lot of fun.
