Psalm 19

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then will I be blameless, innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

This sums up my photographic vison. This is what I attempt to accomplish with each opening of the shutter. How can I capture the glory of God and his creation.
Welcome to Vision 19:1.


When I first began this blogarooney, it was on a bit of a lark. The one thing I worried about was, "This is indeed going to be random." Granted it is called "Wanderings of a Lost Moose" but I believe my wanderings should have purpose. So I have decided from now on, that most future editions of "The Moose" will be somehow based upon pictures I have taken during my "Wandering." They will be my springboard for conversation. A "Picture/Coffee Table Blog" if you will. So, Let the fun begin................
To Be continued


Well, come on, that's not true. I have WAY too much to say, but what should be today's topic. The Chargers losing to New England on Sunday....Too depressing. The San Diego Padres???? not quite in season yet. Movies?!?!?! Haven't seen anything too new lately.....well "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" was a hoot....but really, how much is there for me to say about Vegetables dressed up as pirates??? Your right....far too much, but I won't go there on this day.
Music is today's choice. Why????? Because I want to.
So today's topic.........5 albums I want on a desert island (along with a semi decent sound system, my iPod, head phones, and some type of power outlet. Now that would be some desert island.)

Now mind you, these are not the only ones I would want on my desert island, but some that I wish to share with you. These are not the ones you would think. There is no "Moving Pictures" on this list. Too easy. Zeppelin 4?!?!?! Please, you can find that on any desert island. Let's go a little deeper. So there will be no "Back in Black". No "Dark Side of the Moon". and definitely no "Joshua Tree" or "Hotel California". I am trying to go for those treasures you might not find on any other desert island, so let's begin.



Rush : Power Windows
1985 is the year, and the living is downright easy. This album is classic 80' Rush. Keyboards and all. But that is not what this album is about. It has great drumming (Neil Peart, hello, do you expect anything different) Some of the best solos Alex ever laid down (Really, the guitar work is great) and Geddy's bass-work is just downright AWESOME!!!!! If you like Rush even a little, you must go out NOW and purchase this 80's masterpiece.


Genesis : Genesis
Released in 1983, this is the best album (in my opinion) Genesis made. The Peter Gabriel crowd will no doubt disagree with me, but this is a classic. Oh, the many road trips this album graced. Memories......besides, it contains the song "Illegal Alien." For that reason alone, it goes with me to my desert island.


The Cars : Candy O

(Album cover to "Rated PG-13 for this Blog)
Released it 1979 after The Cars 1st album, it contains a bit more keyboard, but there is also some amazing guitar work from Elliot Easton. It's just a great album. So many memories of Randy Ihrig (high school buddy who loved The Cars) and I playing videos games on a rainy day. oh Candy-O, I need you!!!!


The Eagles : On the Border
On their first two albums, The Eagles were very country.....Not that there's anything wrong with that, but on this album, guitarist Don Felder joined the fray, and the sound changed..in a good way.....A REALLY GOOD WAY!!!!! This album finds them in a period, still rooted in a country sound, but with a fresh splash of rock. This is the Eagles finest hour. A great album.


Foo Fighters : There is Nothing Left to Lose
I just love the Foo. This is just such a great album. You can listen to it over and over and not get tired. Well, at least I can. I can't say any more than that. LOVE THE FOO!!!

So there you have it. I thought I would share my thoughts on a few albums worth a listen. I hope you take a chance a give em one. Heck, I'll even let you borrow mine (But please, no illegal copies).

Thanks

.............more to come on "Desert Island Necessities" or "What's in Gilligan's Travel Case"
