Ask me to take a picture of any aspect of my life that you're interested in/curious about. It can be anything from the home I live in to my favorite shoes. Leave your choice here as a comment, and I will reciprocate by taking the pictures and posting them as an LJ entry. That way you get to know a little bit about my life...

I stole this from Amplitude. His was awesome. Plus, I'm in the mood to play with my camera some more. So go ahead, ask anything within reason.

Since my wife did it...

2006-07-25T14:36:08Z

I figured I'd share our wedding photos with everyone. Find our name(s) Schalk/Cheney and click Log In. It asks for an email address. This is to let you in and keep your shopping cart if for some reason you want images of my ugly mug. Don't worry, they don't use the address for anything else...and the link:

Warning! There are a lot. And looking at them myself, not all of them wither. WOW!

Many of you know that I have luck when it comes to winning stuff. I've won a guitar signed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, tickets to I don't know how many shows, CDs, DVDs, an XBox, and many many more things. But today on my way home, I texted Chicago's own Q101 in an attempt to qualify for their 'Sucka Free Summer' contest.

About 5 minutes after texting "win" to 99161, I received a phone call from the 312 areacode. I knew this was Q101 callilng me back, to let me know I was qualified for this.

I promise to take people with me to the events and festivities, possibly even let you stay in my apartment. But this is only for people who give me good thoughts and best wishes, so pray, pray, pray, and pray.

Please?

So I figured I shouldn't go to work since I can't really talk or breathe. Oh well.

Instead, I'm gonna post some pics of the progress we've made on the house. Cut for your pleasure.

Our House

Tasha's Collage of The Dog & Everything's Metro Show

The new couches!

Our rock and roll pictures (Tasha took them all) and poster hung downstairs

The cymbal that The Dog & Everything signed and gave us the night of our engagement.

Tasha's shrine to SR-71.

There used to be a built-in countertop where the trunk sits now.

We still have more posters, setlits, drumsticks and stickers to add to the room, but its a start.

As for the bedroom: We finally moved in the first week of January. Why? Because we needed to move the bed from Maryland to Chicago, then get the hardwood floor installed, arrange for movers to move everything up the stairs of death, and finally, decide on what we wanted to do with the closet. Well, it's finished!

The New Floors!

I know, messy bed. But I'm sick!

Furniture in the bedroom

Some pretty Valentine's flowers

The Dog and Everything

2006-02-20T17:15:38Z

So everyone knows that Tasha and I work with a local band here in Chicago called The Dog & Everything.

Today they posted a homemade video to their biggest song, Hey Luv.

I hate emo kids, I hate videos of kids trying to be cook and make music videos on webcams, but I laughed at this one. Really, really hard. Maybe because I might know him?

Laugh for yourself

Correct me if I'm mistaken

You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow. Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three.

I need a company name!

2005-10-20T17:51:36Z

So there are people who want to hire me to do freelance/consulting work for them. Infact, there are two companies that are interested. This is where I need your help.

Aside from having another business card, I'd love to have a site dedicated to JUST my company/profile. I can't come up with a name. I need a name. It's sad that I don't want to continue till I have a name, but I need a name. Give me your thoughts.

Anything, just tell me. Stupid, assinane, silly, childish...I take them all. You might even get a corner on my page if you help me name the company!
