You might be thinking, where oh where has Young Adam gone?
It has been awhile since he has made an appearance on the blog. Dec. 5th as a matter of fact. Sometimes, even the rock stars need a break.
At any rate - after a long session of entering content at the office, the crew headed to the Map room for a couple of beers and some yummy pizza. Young Adam must have been pumped, because he had on the full barrage of grooves.
If you have been following my blog, you might ask yourself - Does Young Adam do anything other than try to get into my blog?
Well, he does work, but I think he might work harder to get into my blog. It is hard to not to include his antics because they make for good photos.
This photo was taken at the Web Association Holiday Party. One of the local vendors was handing out these lime green stress balls, and Adam definitely made the most of them.
In order to make the most of the holiday season, some friends and I decided to get together to watch a Christmas movie and drink some Great Lakes Christmas Ale.
Yes, the movie was good, but the Christmas Ale totally rocked. Nothing makes me get more into the holiday season then having a good time and hiding out from the cold Cleveland weather.
I took this photo with just the ambient light in the room and no flash. Of course Young Adam moved a little bit and is out of focus, but he tried his best to stay still.
It is harder than you think to be cool in Cleveland. There is a lot of competition out there, and sometimes it gets ugly.
On Friday night, Young Adam and Tom were squaring off to see who is the most cool. Sometimes the world of popularity gets ugly.
One good thing about this picture, I discovered that my camera had a High ISO setting so I could take better photos in the dark.
It hasn't been long since Young Adam was no the blog, but I thought this photo merited another post.
At least when we were out on Friday night, he didn't feel the need to play an air guitar. Although he did have onlookers, it wasn't the same as his first rock out.
It is tough looking like Jude Law. When you are trying to enjoy a nice lunch in the sunshine with friends, you have to do something to try to stay off of the radar. Right?
Well, maybe that wasn't it. Maybe Young Adam just forgot his sunglasses and had to borrow mine. They look a little bit Elton John, but he can definitely pull of the retro look.
He's back. Yes, Young Adam strikes again. While we were having a drink of wine the other night, he and Tom were being a bit silly.
OK, I decided to toast everyone for absolutely no reason other than we were all hanging out in Tremont and done with work for the day.
I guess they decided to take the silliness a bit further. I was lucky enough to get my cell phone out to capture the moment.
While I was at lunch with Young Adam today, we were walking past the Hard Rock Cafe when I spied this poster.
Yes, it is a cool poster. Howevever, it was even more relevant because my nickname is the Rock . . or sometimes just Rock.
See the humor in the situation. I knew you did. I might just have to go back and try to procure the sign for my office door.
As most of you who read this blog know, I have been walking to work. As the days get shorter, I occasionally get a ride home when I am leaving the office when it is dark.
On this particular day, my friend, Young Adam volunteered to give me a lift. Yes, we did stop at the Map Room for a quick draft. However, on this evening, I convinced Young Adam to stop at the Tremont Tap House so we could finish our conversation about how he calculates if he wants to date a girl. We had moved beyond the basic scale of 1 - 10 to Love Calculus and this photo captures the beginning of a 6 step process for evaluation. Of course - Step 2 is really an average of 3 steps, so you can see it is very complex - as love can be.
Ironically, the girls we both simultaneously rated were not nearly as high scoring as we thought they would be when we started. I guess in relationships, sometimes a person you thought was great - isn't all that!
From time to time, I have taken photos of Young Adam for my blog.
He is always a willing photography subject. In this particular case, I snapped a more candid picture (sort of) of him standing in the corner of my office while we were conferring with a co-worker at Optiem.
We had been talking about the trend to more casual fashions around the office during the weekdays, and ironically, he was sort of striking a nice pose after that conversation.
That is right, it is always serious matters at work. Actually, I think it is the random 5 minutes social breaks that keeps me and our hard working team sane!
Some times the quality of a photograph is not the most important thing. It is the need to capture an event, an important or whimsical moment in time.
Ok - so Joe isn't old, but I liked the synchronicity of the two terms. Some of you might have seen Young Adam before this post. However, Joe is making his first appearance at Enthusiastic Noise.
Apparently, my rousing post about the Trash Only receptacle in the parking lot at the rear of our office building has finally reached the right people.
