I have really gotten into some quirky things in DK. Like these: French Hotdogs. I love these little bastards. They are available at any gas station and almost everywhere else. But you can't buy them in the States. Too bad, suckas... you don't know what you're missin'!

Postcards from Aalborg
I thought that it might be a fun idea to showcase some of the pictures I have taken in Denmark. I love to write, but Photography has always been close to my heart as well. So here's a little section I like to call: Postcards...
This one is of the Irish House... a favorite drinking lodge of many people I know.

City At Night: MainStreet - The drunk drag. This is where you walk home after you have hit all the bars. I thought I would leave the shutter open for a long time and not use a flash. This gives the effect of a "watercolor" look. It's fun to experiment with these kinds of pictures, so I took a few.

These homes are off to the side of where you shop. I just think they are really cool looking. They look like giant play houses, very thin and packed right on top of each other as such.

Looking at this one, I remember that I'd taken some sepia shots with my camera as well. Those were fun. Here's one:

I think this next shot was interesting. Downtown Aalborg is quite picturesque; this is a somewhat recent development, done over the last few years. The sidewalk has a string of blue lights under Plexiglas. I took a number of pictures simply looking down at it, and then trying angles; I knew there was a good picture there somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Finally when I was walking home one night, I remember thinking that you have to earn the best pictures. And sometimes you have to do something odd to get them. So I set the camera on the ground, laying down on the sidewalk to see the best angle... and took the shot.

Video Killed the Internet Blog
Yeah yeah... I know. It's been a little while, hasn't it? Well, I've been working, man. I do have a living to make ya know.I love to work, I am a bit of a work-a-holic at times, but that's okay. "Work hard; play hard." It's just the way of the Grondin.
AND with no further intro...
Here's another taste of Denmark...
Just a taste, bubs, that's all ya be gettin'...
Ja ja. Jeg forstår. Du behov til få something eller du vil kill mig. Ja ja. Så here du går:
So, here's what a REAL Irish Pub is like on the weekends:
And here's another taste:
Ordering A pizza in Denmark:
How to drink in Aalborg (or anywhere in Denmark for that matter)...
European Stairs. I hate these things. They are small and more like ladders than stairs. These are the stairs to my back way into the apartment, man. This leads out to the courtyard and such, where you go to stay out of the evil wind. but the thing is... the stairs are just ferocious as hell, man. Egads...
Everything is walking distance here, so it's not even that hard to wander to a friend's apartment and do this:
(A little guitar hero on the X-box... what?)
Far out, man. Far out. Another moment of Timmyland captured for the masses...
Here's a little vid of me in the Apartment, coming home. just your average everyday stuff I guess. Nothing too exciting, but this is the scene, bub.
Timmah.
