St. Vallentines Day Blog-o-Rama! (SVDBOR)

Welcome, my dear old friends, to a little something we’re gonna call the St. Valentines Day Blog-o-Rama! What you are about to see is going to be sheer madness, utter pandemonium! It’s gonna be an explosion the senses! It’s going to not only rock your socks off, it also has the potential to rock other items of your clothing off too, including – but not limited to – eyeglasses, binoculars, and stove pipe hats.

Whoa.

I’m just going to let that set in for a second. Alright, you ready now? For we’re about to go on a journey through the FunCenter like you’ve never seen before. Hold on to your pants, and let the games begin!

MuchLove
o&j

Aiden!

There is no rest for the Otis & James Empire of Love! We are working 24/7 to ensure that your bliggityblog is the happiest, shiniest, brightest bliggitlyblog on the face of the Earth! We have a crack team of professionals working their fingers to the nub [ed. Congratulations, Mr. Otis…you’ve finally figured out a way to use the word ‘nub’ in a post. It only took you three years.], and they do this all for you, the viewing audience.

Do you want to know why they do this? It’s not for the money or for the fame (cougars love me!), oh no no, it’s so we can have the good pleasure of showing bright and shiny and happy (seems to me that I’ve heard those adjectives somewhere before…where was that…oh yes! Up just a couple of sentences!) sample pictosnaps, such as the the lovely ones just a few sentences away!

I suppose you’re wondering who this lovely youngster [ed. Youngster?] is, and let me tell you this, in case you weren’t able to figure it out from the title of this post, the name is Aiden! Aiden & entourage (it’s crazy how everyone has an entourage now) stopped by the FunCenter for Fun the other day for some supersweet snaps, and – true to the awesomeness that is Aiden – it was totally and completely awesome!

Again, good peeps of blog, I could ramble on about this, but why listen to me when you can just put these words away and look at the snaps so lovely? So, without any further delay, me thinks it be time to give MuchLove & ManyThanks to Aiden, and to all of you out there in the snowy World of Blog – Enjoy!

Dave!

In case you, my good people of Blog, haven’t realized this already, I’m just a little bit on the different side. Now, I’m not saying this an a ‘Dude…I am so different, and…like…I’m crazy…and I’m so cool and you’re so lucky to know me’ sort of way, I’m just stating fact. Different is good, I have always held this and the pursuit of happiness (the pursuit is the best part, nobody knows what to do when you actually get there) to be self-evident, or something like that. Which brings me to right now. I don’t know what that meant, but I’m going to move now to the next paragraph.

To illustrate this claim, I shall tell you a story about a young otis. We will have to travel very very far in the WayBack Machine (totally have it out of the shop, unlike a certain pickup truck named ‘BRAH’, but that’s a totally different story) for this one, all the way to the mid-late 80’s. Young otis, you see, loved his Ramsey County Public Library. He also loved him some David Letterman. Couldn’t get enough of him. Old Otis, during this time, was about 12, maybe 13 years old. So for fun, ol’ otis would go to the library and research stuff.

He would have his Daddy-o or his GrandMaMa drop him off, and the adventure would begin. Otis would go through his magazine reference books, would dig through his microfiche, until he found out everything about his selected subject that he possibly could. And, one time, his area of study was none other than Dave Letterman. This was back in the day, when Dave was still at NBC after Carson, which was too late for otis to stay awake for, so he would set his BetaMax to record and watch them when he came home from school. After a few months, after all the articles had been read, otis would close the book on that subject, and move onto the next. And that, my dear People of Blog, concludes this visit to my past.

What does this have to do with anything, you may be asking yourself? Nothing. I just was taking a look at these supersweet pictosnaps we had the good pleasure of taking not quite all that long ago, and noticed that the name, and my mind wandered, and I shared it with you. MuchLove & ManyThanks to Dave for giving us some of his time, and to my good people of blog, I tell you to celebrate your individuality, and – Enjoy!

The Family Posey!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye I do declare! I come to you at this very moment, not during the last moment or even during the upcoming moment, I say right at this very moment that we are living in right now, I come to you with the good news that on a day that was not yesterday, and not even the day before, but at some point during our not so distant past that we like to venture out to in these bliggitlyblogs that we’re always throwing at you (more of a gentle lofting than a hard throw) we had the superawesome good fortune of working with long time friends to the o&j empire (they knew us when we were just an empire in the making, still had training wheels and if we didn’t get our afternoon nap we were totally crabbypants…well…we’re still kind of like that but that’s part of the charm, right?), none other than the supersweet Family Posey!

Now, I bet you’re sitting there all smug like, because you think that I’m going to tell you that they came down here to have some totally awesome family pics taken, and – as usual – they rocked it up hardcore, and that our time with them was all to short, yet sweet, and I bet you’re even thinking that I’m going to tell you that it means so much to us when we get to see families grow up right in front of us, and we truly thank this wonderful family for being such wonderful clients! Yeah, I bet you’re thinking that I’m going to say all of those things. And you know what? You’re right. Because they’re true. But that doesn’t make you all smug and stuff, it just means that you’re a lucky guesser. Yeah.

MuchLove & ManyThanks to this splendid group for stopping by FunCenter yet again, and to all of you lucky guessers out there in Land of Blog – Enjoy!

Shaun & Johnathon!

Next up on they ride of action, thrills and non-stop excitement that is all thing Otis & James was a visit from none other than two good people that I will call Shaun & Johnathon! And you know what, you can call them that too! Because those are their names, and it would not be right to call them anything else. But you know that, as the People of Blog (POB’s) are a smart & peaceful people, bringing nothing but sunshine & love & hot dogs (I’m not so sure why it is the POB’s always feel the need to bring hot dogs whenever they come around, but I don’t mind) to everyone they meet! But enough about you people out there reading these words in Blog world, we need to get back to Shaun & Johnathon!

They blasted on in to the FunCenter (that’s what it’s called, yo – don’t forget it) for some totallysweet pictosnaps, and they got just that. And you want to know why they got that? Because they knew the score. They knew what was up. They had the deal figured out. They came. They saw. They conquered. In fact, they should be teaching master classes here at CenterFun (whoa…did you see that? I switched it up, to see if you were paying attention. Did you catch it? Because if you truly want to be a General in the o&j army of Love ((in no way related to Ron Paul’s thing)), you gotta have all your senses honed razor sharp, ready at a moments notice to catch anything…got it?) on how to take supersweet snaps. Yeah, that’s how good they were.

Alright now, I’m just a-gonna let all of that sink in, and while it is (don’t be alarmed if you have a sinking feeling), sit back, relax, and gander – if you will – at the wonderment (it’s a word, really, it is) that was this wonderful couple! ManyThanks & MuchLove to these two fine friends for stopping by, and to my faithful of the blog that I love so much – Enjoy!

Allison & Mark!

Well hello there my good friends of Blog! There’s no need to worry your pretty little blog heads, as we are back in the pilot seat (pilot seat…captains chair…leader sitting device – they’re all the same) and ready to take control of the StarShip OJ (again, in no way is it affiliated with anybody with the first named ‘Orenthal’, but there is a ‘James’. Thank you, parents, for not naming me ‘Orenthal’, as we totally would have had to of had ((could those words have been any stranger a combination?)) named the business something else, and that would have been lame, because we would have been all ‘Tender Moments Photogratorium’, and nobody would have wanted to have visited us then, as anything with ‘orium’ in it is not any fun for anyone) and take us back to a time, oh so not so long ago when we had the good pleasure of working with our new friends, Allison & Mark!

They did not come here to hear (again, a strange combination of words) ol’ otis sing 14 of his favorite sea shanty’s (album dropping in June), or to hear James recite her favorite recipes (you should really hear the one for corn dog’s and mac & cheese), no no no. They came here for some supersweet e.pics!

They, my good people of blog, did not disappoint! They sweetly rocked, they sweetly rolled, and – between you & me – let’s just say that the results were fantastic! Why oh why must you listen to me rattle on and on about it, you should probably just let the samplesnaps be your proof. One more thing. MuchLove to Allison & Mark for giving us a little bit of their time, and to all my good and patient peeps out there in Land of Blog – Enjoy!

Suzanne!

For those of you that haven’t already met her, let me introduce to you Suzanne, or – to her friends – Suzie! She’s the official doggie of Otis & James, and she would like to meet you. It’s her birthday this month, and we’re having a sale to celebrate – click HERE to find out more info!

In addition to the sale, she also wanted to have a photo shoot to celebrate. She did all of her favorite poses: straight ahead, to the left, and to the right. She’s been working on them, and I think it shows. She’s pictured in a chair (she loves a good chair), and on a block (she has spent many a good hour staring at Main Street from those same blocks…there’s so many people to bark it on Main Street…so little time.)

If you happen to see her this month, give her a birthday pet (or – preferably – a belly scratch), and she’ll most likely give you a kiss!

MuchLove!
o&j (suzie too!)
