    Warning: cheesy/sentimental content ahead. Proceed at your own risk and blah blah b.. Do you ever have those times where you feel like everything sucks– bad? Like, you are never going to get really really rich (enough to live your neighborhood of choice and have a sail boat), and are going to be instead stuck…

    It has been slow going, trying to get back into the swing of things since returning from vacay. Part of it probably has to do with the fact that I’m battling bronchitis. It is pretty pathetic the way that Reagan and I have been passing germs and viruses back and forth, for the past few…

    Note from Jake: Everyone, sorry that this post is a day late. Pete had the entire month worth of these cover songs written and ready to go, before September was even over. I tried to get this thing in the queue before I went on vacation, but was having a difficult time rounding up the…

    We had such a great weekend with Reagan’s family. Sometimes family get-togethers can really fizzle by the time it is winding down. You know it is a good one, when that doesn’t happen. We woke up Monday morning and it was pouring rain. It was appropriate weather for our mood, because we were truly sad…

    Thursday, Reagan and I spent most of the day in Knoxville, checking out the city. We checked out the University of Tennessee campus. I loved all of the old buildings in the downtown section. In case there weren’t enough photos in the post that consists mostly of photos, here are a few more.

    This is a video that Reagan and I made for her family reunion in TN. The idea was Reagan’s. Pardon my terrible camera work. Video is definitely much more challenging for me than still photography. The bonus footage at the end, is an outtake from on of her hair videos.

    We drove NY to the Jerz, PA to the VA via DE and WV, finally arriving in Knoxville TN around 10 last night. We only stopped a few times, other than to fill up. Somewhere in VA, I found a large field for Reagan to get out and stretch her legs. So, naturally, she did…

    Well, I’m road-tripping right now. But, I didn’t want to have dead air on jakesnewblog during the entire time. So, I queued up a few items to post while we are driving. This is the first one. We may or may not have internetz, where we are going. If we do, then please feel free…

    Yesterday I had a birthday. I’m now officially older than I was two days ago. Sucks. The weekend, I spent mostly doing some product photos for a Brooklyn clothing co. It was ok. We did hang out with our friends a bit, which was cool. Then we had a failed attempt at doing family photos.…

    Johnny Cash… No introduction necessary. Nine Inch Nails… ’nuff said. “Hurt” was written by Trent Reznor and released in 1994 on the NIN album “Downward Spiral.” In 2002, after his wife died, but before he died himself (wow, really?), Johnny Cash released the cover. I heard the Cash version on the radio in the work…
