http://www.thedirtroad.net/jeff Jeff Holland's home for stuff en-us Copyright 2004 Jeff Holland, so don't steal stuff http://www.thedirtroad.net/jeff/images/xml.gif http://www.thedirtroad.net/jeff 75 62 http://www.thedirtroad.net/jeff OK, I'm ready to talk about this album a little. Simply a stunning, mature, and powerful album from a band that is still pushing forward when many bands at their twentieth year of music are just retreading old hits. "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own", "Original of The Species", "A Man and a Woman" and "Crumbs From Your Table" reflect a band that's growing older, but still wants to cause a ruckus. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/idol.html So, Geof finally talked me into jumping on to the WordPress bandwagon. So now I have a real honest-to-gosh "blog." As such, this page will likely be changing drastically as I move all my content into the blog and this page becomes redundant. This page will probably become a "front page" of sorts for all my stuff. If you currently use an RSS reader to get updates to my site, you'll want to change the RSS feed to http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/journal/feed/ as the feed to this page will likely change to just give updates about the general thedirtroad.net updates. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/idol.html I know I said I was burned out on theological topics, but..... http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/lessthanlove.html I think I'm going to write up a couple short stories about my failed attempts at romance before meeting Adriene. These ought to be good for a laugh. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/peachtreetrainingschedule.htm In an effort to get back in shape, I'm training for the Peachtree Road Race. To keep myself accountable, I'm posting my times here. I have no shame. I know my mile-splits suck. Hopefully, as I progress, the times will get better. If you see a bunch of days on the page with no entries, e-mail me and tell me what a slug I am! http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/dawritings.html#andsoitgoes Looking back on the Daniel Amos writings and wrapping things up. http://thedirtroad.net/nit Make your picks for the 8th Annual NIT Pick-em! http://rmfo-pics.net/holland-cruise Adriene and I have returned from a week of rest and relaxation in the Carribean! Check out our pictures. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/ We woke up to snow in our front yard!.  It looked like powdered sugar.  Mmmm.... powdered sugar. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/dawritings.html#confidenceman I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a travelling salesman. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/dawritings.html#staggeringgods I guess even being sick can teach me something. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/dawritings.html#divineinstant It is an intimidating thing to wait upon the Lord, especially when His schedule differs from ours. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/dawritings.html#rocketpacks "No spacemen up above, and we're so far from love" http://www.audioscrobbler.com/user/jholland444/ If you've ever wanted to see just how lame my musical taste is, you can click on the title link and view my most recently played stuff, most popular stuff for the week, and all sorts of other cool stats. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/dawritings.html#unattainableearth The ache that one day will be healed. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/dawritings.html How something that is invisible becomes visible. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/daideas.html I'm going to try something different to get the creative juices flowing. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/christmas04.html Lots of thoughts following a return trip from a Christmas concert. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/randomfall04.html After getting back from vacation, I've got a whole lot of thoughts bouncing around, so I'll just string them all together. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/turningthirty.html I haven't been taking the approach of my 30th birthday very well, but I'm learning that there's joy in being a story where more will be written. http://rmfo-pics.net/homecoming04 We've uploaded pictures from the Wreck Parade, visiting our houses, and the football game from Homecoming. Enjoy! http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/caedmonscall-auburn.html Adriene and I enjoyed back-to-back concerts with good friends. We took lots of photos and made some good memories. http://thedirtroad.net/adriene Looks like even Adriene has fallen prey to the siren call of WordPress. Good for her. Of course, the upside to all of this is that I can syndicate her site and now I'll know what she's really up to! http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/plann.html Sure, it's one thing to go to Plan "B", when Plan "A" doesn't work, but lately I feel like I'm all the way down to Plan "N" in my life. http://thedirtroad.net/jeff/starbucks.html Inspired by a blog entry by Mark Traphagen, I thought I would try to recount some of my past using Starbucks stores, too. http://rmfo-pics.net/album111 Ruin our vacation and then rain all over us as we drive across Georgia. See if you get a Christmas card from us this year, you dirty whore. http://rmfo-pics.net/album111 When we return from our cruise, we should have lots of pictures to put up. But to entertain you in the mean time, here are our photos of Georgia Tech's football game against Samford http://rmfo-pics.net/Chattanooga-August-27%2C-2004 Look out, kids. We got a digital camera. We took it out for a test drive to Chattanooga for a day at the aquarium and some minor-league baseball. http://www.thedirtroad.net/jeff/olympic_foreward.html With the 2004 Athens Olympics fast approaching, I thought I would work up a short foreward reviewing the Olympic Saga that I wrote during the 1996 Olympics. http://www.qwertyuppy.com/index.php/archives/2004/07/29/scene-22-inside-the-cave/ I've been used as a character in a parody of Monty Python's Holy Grail. Wow, I'm famous. http://cs-people.bu.edu/artdodge/hkpe/ From the depths of the unexplainable mind of my friend William R. McDaniel, III and his friend Adam Bradley, the fan club for the greatest polka band ever! http://www.thedirtroad.net/jeff/cstone2004.html What I learned while on the Farm this year. http://www.thedirtroad.net/ccwkd We invited random people into our house this weekend and did all sorts of fun stuff. We even have pictures. http://www.thedirtroad.net/jeff/summerwedding.html My sister is now married, but not before we all lost a couple pounds in a sauna.
