Just a play on words from the infamous William H. Bonney (aka Billy the Kid) and instead I'm aiming with a camera. Not a lot to say tonight, a little perturbed that I messed around with this 365 photo and missed the deadline to send in photos for the Photographer's Forum Magazine 31st annual spring photography contest. Just another eight hours in a day... that's all I need. Maybe they'll be gracious and let me in late. We'll see, I sent an email. Even better, I whacked my head into a tree trimming grass earlier tonight. I was focusing my attention to the ground when I ran into a low branch. Nice scrape and knot to match. So I did some swearing and it made it feel better. Don't believe me? Read for yourself-

According to a study reported by the Telegraph, swearing can actually relieve pain.
According to the story:
Scientists from Keele University found that letting forth a volley of foul language can have a powerful painkilling effect, especially for people who do not normally use expletives.To test the theory, student volunteers placed their hands in a bucket of ice cold water while swearing repeatedly.
They then repeated the exercise but, instead of swearing, used a harmless phrase instead.
Researchers found that the students were able to keep their hands submerged in the icy water for longer when repeating the swear word – establishing a link between swearing and an increase in pain tolerance.
Pain is reduced as a result of the adrenalin released while swearing, triggering the ”fight or flight” response. The study demonstrates that swearing elicits both a mental and physical response.
”Swearing has been around for centuries and is an almost universal human linguistic phenomenon,” said researcher Dr. Richard Stephens.
So let ‘er rip, just direct your anger towards inanimate objects.

You see, when you keep a shaved head, you lose all your "feelers" that let you know you're getting close to whacking your head on something. The people who shave know exactly what I'm talking about. Keeps the hair care products at a 0, but you still have to buy razors and watch out for low lying branches... Oh and by the way, I did NOT take this photo into a mirror!!!
