Coldplay They put on a great show. Sorry for poor quality images, but hopefully it brings you the vibe of that night back in October.

Last week was spent on the road covering alot of miles. I started out in Gatlinburg last weekend shooting video for a baptist youth convention. It was large with around 3000 high schoolers and such. I had some good fun catching up with old friends from past jobs and equally as much fun being behind a video camera again. After those two 14 hour days, it was on to meet up with my buddy Jason for a monster work trip. We covered alot of territory in four days seeing parts of Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, D.C., and Virginia before heading back to Knoxville. Needless to say I was ready to head back home to Dyersburg for some much needed R&R. Thanksgiving was great with my brother Matt, Jessy (his wife), and Jacob (his son) making it in for 3 days. Tomorrow I turn 28 years old on November the 29th. Life is great! I'm a little lonely though. I've been single for 4 1/2 years now...time flies. I'm sure my dream lady will come along soon. Cheers and God bless your face. J Bopp

Today's been a good day with some sunny weather. Yesterday was very windy and rainy, which made it a little difficult to grill out last night, but we did it anyway. Thank you God for more work coming my way. Tomorrow I leave for Knoxville to do some video camera work for a couple days. Sunday I'll be leaving to go on another trip with Mr. Schroeder covering alot of ground once again through Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, and back home to Tennessee in time for a late Thanksgiving Friday. It's the thought that counts though, right. Did somemore practicing on playing the drums today too. It's good to learn something new again and really have to concentrate. Makes me respect my favorite bands all over again. Well I hope to bring back some excellent photos from the forth coming trip, so keep your eyes ready to see what you've never seen before.
Do you ever think about what you'd do if you won a bunch of money? Wow, what a thought! What would you do it you won $100,000? Buy land, build a house, new truck, laptop, give a bunch to church, fly around the world to different places???? What would you do? Something extremely amazing, something extremely selfserving, a little of everything? Would it change you at all? Maybe I'd follow Incubus around on their next world tour, or go work on a sheep farm in Australia for six months, or follow the Summer season around the world and go surfing everywhere. What would you do?

Fall/Autumn

More photos from the weekend in the Smoky Mountains.

Last weekend was spent in the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. I met up with two college pals, Chad French and Ruben Karel. Good guys, but a little crazy. Always wanting to bite off more than we can chew. We hiked a 30 mile loop in 3 days, camping at some remote back country camp sites. Ruben and I saw a bear shimmy out of a tree twenty yards from us and thankfully run the opposite direction. I also saw two grouse, both nearly scared me to death. If you've ever heard one, you know what I'm talking about. Over all I'd say the weekend was very grueling, tiring, causing sore muscles, blisters, nausea, laughs, snoring(whether a certain Polish man wants to admit it or not), a time to reconnect, a time for physically stretching oneself, and a time for meeting strangers. It sucked at times and other times it was good. At least it beats sitting at home on the couch all weekend. What did you do with your weekend?

That's my dad. He's looking tough for a sixty year old man. Love that guy.

TEXAS What a place! It was a crazy week traveling in Texas. Getting lost, yelling at the GPS, and living life to the fullest. It's not every day you get to cruise through Texas with one of your best friends and get paid some good money for a little work and a lot of patience. Hehe, but then again, what are friends for?
