Woohoo! TGIAMP365! Day 6 is here and I’m happy to keep this hot streak going. I’m also happy that today’s post features some really fantastic stuff. Let’s get it going!
Day 4 of Looking Up by Matt Palmer. Check out other amazing photos from Matt’s Looking Up project here.
If you ever watched Friday Night Lights, you’ve heard the inspiring sounds of Explosions in the Sky. I’m a fan.
Capping off the sky theme of today’s AMP 365 post, here’s a great tee from Threadless for all you Lost fans.
It’s been a fun and fast five days. As much as I love seeing the final product each day, the truly cool part of this project is searching for art, music and random goodness to post here.
To say that there’s a massive army of talented artists, amazing musicians and interesting factoids is an understatement. So please know that if I ever miss a day of AMP 365, it’s due to pure, unadulterated laziness.
Day 5. Let’s do it.
Life is Good by Ryan Feerer
Not like this dude needs more views of this clip but this is just flat out gravy business.
Did you know that the four main Ghostbusters were originally supposed to be John Belushi, Eddie Murphy, John Candy and Christopher Walken? Now mind you, I LOVE Ghostbusters, but my mind is reeling imaging how awesome that team would’ve been on screen.
Day 4 is upon us. So far, so good. By the way, if you’re an artist or musician and you’d like to have your work featured in a AMP 365 post, leave a comment below and I’ll get in touch with.
By the way, I’m stoked to that WordPress has thrown down their 2011 blogging challenge. Count me in, WordPress. Count me in.

And now for an original LBB haiku:
hold the gold leaf shine
broken visions calls for more
than flair, we need fire
I’m not quite sure why this post wasn’t up yesterday but nevertheless, the show must go on. Please enjoy these day 3 goodies.
Tropicalia by Matheus Lopes. Matheus’ work is very imaginative and colorful. A great talent for sure.
Great video. Great song. Great(est) band.
LBB blog stat of the day: The busiest day here was on October 6, 2010 with 270 pageviews. Not too shabby!
Welcome to day 2 of AMP 365. If you don’t know what this is all about check out the post from yesterday.

Martin Sexton live. Flawless!
Welcome to AMP 365. For the next year, I’ll be blogging about art, music and pretty much anything else I find. This is an ambitious undertaking so please sit back, fasten your seat belt and enjoy.

That’s right kids! Set your DeLorean to November 15, 1985 because we’re going to back to the future with my latest tee, McFly.

Forgive the lack of D.O.T.D posts. I’ve been busy enjoying fatherhood and neglected ye old blog.
A few backs, our son Liam turned one. He had three amazing birthday parties in Utica, Rensselaer and down in the Outer Banks, NC (Duck exactly). Without question, Liam partied hard and received tons of well wishes and awesome swag. During each of the parties, I couldn’t help but think “How did this year go by so quickly? Is it possible that this kid went from being a little peanut to being a lil’ wild man in just 365 days?”
This year has been filled with love, fear, triumphs, downfalls, kisses, gashes, tears, hugs and everything else that you can imagine. I couldn’t have survived this past year without the love and support of my wife. She’s a rock for me and an amazing mom to Liam. She’s the brains and I’m the guy who acts brawny (but is way too nerdy to ever truly fill that tough guy/dad role). We’ve both changed over the past year but I think it’s for the better and our foundation is stronger than ever.
It’s important to have that foundation because being a parent is a trying experience. No doubt about it. Liam can go from smiles and laughs to tears and screaming on a dime. And sometimes, it’s better to have the other parent step in and handle those situations. God bless all the single parents out there!
That statement aside, the past year has been the greatest year of my life. Watching Liam grow and learn has been a real blessing – one that I have not and will not ever take for granted. First steps, first teeth, using utensils, dismantling our Christmas tree. The everyday things we all take for granted are new to him and I’m grateful to be able to witness that newness.
I’m looking forward to Year 2. Whatever is in store for us, we’re waiting with open arms and happy hearts.
