Hit the jump for a side view of the string.

A co-worker and I have been trying to be more creative outside of work and our current ambition is to take one roll of film a week. I think we both are realizing how statisfing it is to take a bunch of photos but how hard it also is to keep up with the challenge (i suppose that might be why it’s called a challenge though). We are both using what seem to be, and i mean this with no offense, ancient camera and i am disappointed to say i have no idea what the setting really do and nothing is to clearly labeled. It makes me feel like i’ve been babied with my slim point and shoot digital camera i’ve been using for years.

These are some of my favorites so far. We haven’t decided weather to allow photoshopping into the competition right now so that makes me cringe a bit but it will probably help me learn more.

Hit the jump for the rest.

About 6 months ago two of my best friends left for 2 weeks for Vacation. While they were gone i had a key to their apartment and was going to check on their cat jiji, i kept joking with them that somehow i’d prank their apartment while they were gone but couldn’t figure out a great idea, so i decided to kind of steal one from a friend. We have a running joke with life is life, an epic music video and song and i used a photo of myself standing in an epic pose and put the lyrics “life is life” in the background. My original plan was to print one of these and just hide it somewhere in their apartment, but when i was printing through target online, i realized i got 10 free prints for signing up. That changed my prank to hiding 10 of the same photo of myself around their apartment. When i picked up the prints on the day my friends were returning, i realized it would be a lot funnier if i did a set of three, each with me holding the previous photo in it.

Hit the jump for the 2 other images and 1 that didn’t make the set but i thought was pretty epic none the less.

Hit the jump if you want to see a better photo of the album cover i bought.

So a couple weeks back, kind of on a spur of the moment, but mostly been trying to get one for a while, i stopped by guitar center and picked up this sweet black les paul and of course had to get an amp, stand, and cable too. I’ve been playing it 4 times a week at least since, it’s pretty fun just to mess around, i’m getting better at chords but still need to tackle learning an entire song, usually i’ll learn part, my ADD kicks in and i move on to trying ot learn another song.  Maybe i’ll just combine them all into one epic easy to play song, oh and yeah, that’s my epic painting in the background.

Sadly i didn’t have my replica of squall’s gunblade with me and my parents were too afraid i was going to get killed or arrested or what not if i had it out here, even though i had no intention of bringing it to a party.

Anyway, i consider this a huge success and will be wearing it again in July when i attend ComicCon with the rest of the DYG(Dashing Young Gentlemen).

Also on a side note, right after the appointment to get my contacts on saturday, i went and got a haircut and apparently if your barber doesn’t understand english you should be extremely specific on what you mean by hair over the ears because i thought it was clear i wanted it to hang over my ears and she thought it was cut over my ears. Needless to say it is now possibly the shortest it’s ever been.
