Diggin Kenny Chesney

Going Global

Hello Jim & Kim fanatics...and welcome to JimmyPowell.com!
A fun & entertaining site where you can get a glimpse into our little world!

Kim told me you signed our guestbook but I think I erased your comments today while deleting a ton of spammer comments. Spammers have been hitting my site hard the past few days and I've been deleting spam comments left and right. So anyway...sorry! Kim said that you loved Kenny Chesney too and that we should all go to one of his concerts. I'm down with that. And I'll try not to delete your comments next time you sign....ha-ha!

Fans of The Davinci Code will certainly enjoy this book...I know I sure did. I picked it up at Barnes & Noble last week and zoomed thru it over the course of two days. It's basically another one of those fiction books that is filled with facts but intertwined to create an entertaining story. It revolves around the secret knowledge the Templars had and why the Catholic Church feared them and ultimately had them destroyed. A great read and hopefully they'll make it into a move like The Davinci Code which I can't wait to see this spring.

For anyone that's ever watched the opening credits of The Simpson, you'll find this pretty amusing...

I can now say that my company has gone global after picking up my first International client last week. Through some bizarre chain of recommendations, I got a call from a company in London asking me to take over their site and so I did. I had to spend a few nights working at 3am to get all their stuff moved over but it was worth it.

Watch out world! Stellar Media Group is taking over...ha-ha!

Music has always been important to me and I'm always on the hunt for something that "moves me" and recently I've gotten into Kenny Chesney big time. I know that may seem a little shocking too everyone who thinks I only listen to rock but I actually listen to a wide variety of music ranging from pop to rock to jazz and classical and now country. I've also added some other country artists to my play list including Gretchen Wilson, Keith Anderson, and Brooks & Dunn but Kenny Chesney RULES!!!! I'm not even sure if he tours around here but I think I'll be going to see him if he does. His music reminds me about all the good things I remember from my days growing up in the South.

My favorite KC songs so far;

• Anything But Mine

• I Go Back

• Back Where I Come From

• The Woman With You

• Old Blue Chair

(Don't worry...I'm still listening to Whitesnake only a daily basis!) \m/

Sometimes weekends are like trading in one form or work and that was certainly true for us this weekend. We spent the better part of Saturday and Sunday cleaning around the house, vacuuming, taking our recycling to the recycling center, washing clothes, etc., etc.

We did take time to go out to dinner Saturday and watch The Skeleton Key late Saturday night. It was way better than I thought it would be and I highly recommend it. The ending was killer. We also picked up Season 2 of Chappelle Show this weekend and spent a good part of Sunday night watching it and laughing hysterically as the extended and unrated skits are even funnier than what you normally see on Comedy Central.

So that's what we did this weekend...nothing too glamorous.

I have so many pictures at this point that sometimes I "discover" some gems that I took and forgot about. This is one of those pictures which I found last week and have been using for my wallpaper lately. I took it back in November and everybody that sees it on my pc has been asking for it so I figured I'd share it with everyone. Click here and enjoy!

After being shut out of the O.C. filming, I decided to roam around and practice my skills at shooting birds in flight. I've got a couple of shots that I want to get of seagulls and pelicans in flight but shooting birds in flight is certainly more challenging than shooting normal subjects. In particular I'm trying to capture a pelican soaring over the water with the sun bouncing off the water but first I need to hone my focus and pan skills. So anyway...

I'm lucky enough to get privileged info whenever The O.C. is filming here in Redondo Beach so I was on location Friday while they were filming an upcoming fight scene that takes place under this pier. Unfortunately security was really tight and there were to be no meet & greets with "the talent" on this particular shoot. I had my camera with me but they had the area cordoned off for hundreds of yards. I can see now that I'm gonna need to get a bigger zoom lens! At full resolution you'd be able to Benjamin Mckenzie (Ryan) in the shot above but that would take forever for most of you to download.

Security was eyeing me like I was paparazzi so I took a few shots but quickly got bored anyway and decided to go shoot seagulls and pelicans instead.
