For Friday's Flicker Group Roulette challenge...Little Feat -- Join the Band...featuring the songs of Little Feat. I was browsing through the list of song names and came across "Sample in a Jar". While I don't know much about Little Feat and am an admitted Phish head.
Its hidden far away
But someday I may tell
The tale of metal tangle
When into your world I fell
Without you now I wander soaking
Secretly afraid
cause in your grasp the fears don't last
and some of them have stayed
I wheeled around because i
Didn't hear what you had said
And saw you dancing with elihu
Up on leemor's bed
And I was foggy rather groggy, you helped me to my car
The binding belt enclosing me, a sample in a jar
And on the market stands unfolding
With all their willies and their wares
I shuffle by alert but numb
To all the glances and the glares
And I think of you unheeding
All the times I raise my cup
Its now I know that you knew that
I'd soon end up end up
The Wheel stops tonight on Tell it with a song and a photo. Although I generally think of "lyrics photos" as enormous creativity crutches, it gives me a chance to send Jamie a message:
I've seen the storm clouds in your past
But rest assured 'cause you are safe at home at last
I rescued you, you rescued me
And we're right where we should be
when we're together
I know the questions in your mind
But go ahead and ask me one more time
You'll find the answer's still the same
It won't change from day to day
for worse or better
Will I promise to be your best friend?
And am I here until the end?
Can I be sure I have been waiting for you?
And did I say my love is true?
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do!
I know the time will disappear
But this love we're building on will always be here
No way that this is sinking sand
On this solid rock we'll stand forever
Will I promise to be your best friend?
And am I here until the end?
Can I be sure I have been waiting for you?
And did I say my love is true?
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do!
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have
Oh, I will, I am, I can, I have
Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I DO!
-- Paul Brandt, I Do
This is my three hundred thirty eighth self portrait for 365 Days.

Lit by dining room chandelier in background and the cheap-O eBay remote flash trigger to front photo right. The 430EX was head-high, pointed at the ceiling, and at 1/8 power.

For Flickr Group Roulette and Things You May Not Know About Me.
When I was twelve years old, sick with a serious sinus infection, I realized the left side of my face wasn't working properly. Suddenly I could wink- I've never been able to wink properly (there's another thing you don't know about me). By day's end, the entire left side of my face wasn't working. I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. Thankfully, the healing process is much faster when the patient is younger- and only lasted 6 weeks. But at the time, it felt like an eternity.
And there you have it.
I took some shots of jeans at Kohl's because FGR is focusing today on Me and My Blue Jeans. Yeah, they were OK but not up to snuff.
At home, I asked Jamie where these old comfy jeans I had were. The ones with the hole in a location suitable to FGR's new 18+ status.
She pauses for a moment, then reminds me of the pictured jeans. These are the jeans I was wearing when I had my accident [don't look unless you have a strong stomach]. They had to cut my jeans to get them off my bloody stump of a leg.
So I put them on and I noticed right away that there was a problem.
On June 1, they fit. Today, they were 2" too tight, and 2" is being pretty kind.
Yes, I was hurt and have been unable to exercise. Yes, I have been struggling with medical issues since then. But really, is there ever any excuse to put on 2" in 4 months? Ever?
The reality is that I am not who I want to be. That makes me sad.
It's time to do something, and my first inclination is to grab a beer. :((
This is my three hundred fifty fourth self portrait for 365 Days.

FGR wanted us to copy a copycat.
Well, I am copying Jerry who copied the Knob. I picked it because I don't get to wear my stripey socks nearly enough, nor make fun of the Numpty nearly enough.
Oh, and Happy HNT!
For the FGR theme
Halloween Portrait and a copycat (of sorts)of
olga_sgr!'s Duck splatter shot
After all, my faithful Mac, the duck, is down for some fun. Fortunately there was no splatter in the hair. Thanks buddy! :)
NOTE:
Okay, so after an entire month of dressing up for Halloween I went out to a late night dinner on Halloween to a place that doesn't do dress up. WTF?? Oh well, the food was still good. So no costume other than this one today (which I also managed to sneak into the restaurant anyway.) Eff 'em!
For FGR and That Is So Cliche!
Some of these are my own particular favourites to do so I'd see them as cliches, some I've not tried before (and won't try again - blooming sugar sprinkles):
- rainbow stripy tights - check
- looking coquettishly at the camera - check
- sugarlips - check
-*make a heart with your hands* - check
- selective colour - check
- over expose to bleach out background - check
- cutesy bunches on thirty something woman - check

#WeAreOlympiacos
Taken for Flickr Group Roulette
Todays theme is Gambling. Inspired by the group Gambling: Ker-ching
I really hate gambling! I guess this is as close as I come to gambling though. Should I drink the milk, or not? That's always a gamble around here. You never know how long that shit has been in the fridge.
"what, milk doesn't have beer in it?"
*pushes milk to the back of the fridge*
Ever since the girls got these shirts I envisioned a shot of me playing Guitar Hero with one of them in the foreground wearing it. Being that today's Flickr Group Roulette's challenge is Air Guitar I figured I show you why I rock.
And so does this remix...
For FGR : Mikey's Last 365 Hurrah
65 days down, 300 to go!!!!
I think in a roundabout way I have managed to meet all four criteria in this mammoth FGR task.
The first - Quotes and Quotations - one of my favourite quotes is in fact printed on my underwear but you cant quite read it due to all the jumping!! It reads "Boys are stupid - throw rocks at them". Love it.
The second - Jump For Mikey (The Jedi of Jump?) - well here I am clearly jumping my ass off!!
The third - Half Nekkid Thursdays - see aforementioned underwear (still wating for my invitation to this group to be accepted...).
And the fourth - Black and White Self Portraits.
So I think I did ok. I couldnt choose which pic to use and so I called in a little help from FD's Flickr toys. I know the three close up images are noisy but I used ISO800 and the usual lighting problems from the apartment reared their ugly heads again. I also quite like the noise as it hides a multitude of sins ;D
I got very dizzy, hot and lightheaded doing this but it was loads of fun. And well done Mikey!!
[Music theme "Keep On Jumpin" by The Lisa Marie Experience (See day 6/365 for more details).
Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
FGR today brings us Numberwang, based on the hilarious comedy game show. I'd never seen it, but I was inspired today to show you some of my favorite mystical numbers.
I had to do a report in my high school math class. I decided to do it on math prodigies. Because I am ridiculously brilliant (among other things), I learned to find the fifth root of numbers who are whole.
Put another way, take any two-digit number, raise it to the fifth power (X*X*X*X*X) and tell me that number. At the time, I could give you the answer in less than two seconds.
Part of our report involved giving a presentation. I borrowed my dad's $300 calculator (you can get better these days at the 99 Cent store) because it could do math up to 10 digits. I let someone in the class pick any two digit number, do the math, and tell me the product. I repeated the number and wrote it on the black board, and wrote the fifth root immediately afterward. Writing the number out just gave me time to calculate it myself.
Even the teacher was amazed. She eventually ordered me out of the room, had the kids write ten numbers on the board, then had me come back in. If I could find all ten fifth roots in less than a minute, I'd get an A. I think it took me 30 seconds, which was mostly how long it took the two kids to write what I said.
I got an A because I was ridiculously brilliant.
College has since solved that problem. :-(
Anyways, if that doesn't deserve a Numberwang, what does?!
For FGR - The Great Moments in Family History.
This is not out of the norm for our normal family portraits anyway. We kinda wanted to do the whole Simpson's theme with it, but I'm definitely no Marge, Billy's definitely not Bart, and well, Jay could be Homer, but he's smarter, way smarter, and has more hair. :)
He's not choking Billy at all, I assure you... I am choking both of them out right now by making Sauerbraten. heh.
Flickr Group Roulette is doing Forced Perspective today, and I really don't have anything in me -- I'm lazy and non-creative tonight. Hence, the overly-strong texture (at f/7.1 at iso 1600 it was really noisy) and cheesy Kids In The Hall reference.
Get over it :)
Oooohh, what a fun Fugger challenge today!
As many of you know, I love Christmas. Some have even called me a Christmas "freak," and if by freak they mean one who enjoys old timey Christmas music (think Nat King Cole and Otis Redding)...one who looks forward to decorating the tree as soon as the Halloween decorations are put away (I have enough restraint to wait until 12/1)... or one who enjoys wrapping presents and placing them strategically under the tree...
Then I will proudly let my Christmas freak flag fly!
For Show Me Your Balls aka Self Portrait in Christmas Balls!

#WeAreOlympiacos
The "brown box" prototype of the Magnavox Odyssey autographed by creator Ralph Baer.
In my opinion this is one of the most important pieces of video game history on display. Unfortunately it didn't get into the sordid history of this console and Pong.
For FGR and The joy of life .
I love when you wake up expecting another really hot day...you step outside and it is in the 70's. I love when you can see how beautiful all the colors of nature really are....
Today, at work I wanted to walk around the building to see if there was any photo opp's....and sure enough there was!!! I LOVE THAT.....that in and of itself , I can call a joy of life.
Side Note: DAY 80!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay me!!!
Today for FGR it was Revamp Tramp's turn to pick the day. She picked Rainbows can be Straight and gave us this wonderful barrage of questions in which I wittedly reply....
21 questions to answer:

I would like to say "not one that was hit by a car"
3.) What's grosser than gross?

7.) What's your favorite sammich?
Pesto and Turkey
8.) What's your worst habit?
Flickr
9.) If a #2 Pencil is so popular then why is it still #2?
It's a glam thing, if you don't know already, it's not worth trying to explain.

12.5
11.) When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say?
Cracker, followed by a white photographer getting angry and eating the cheese.

Ova fool. I hate anyone that does it different.
18.) What's your phobia?
I haven't figured it out yet. Someday.

Hehehe, um. Hair I guess.
20.) Have you ever stuck a foreign object up your nose?
Nope, just my brothers. Followed by a trip to the hospital.

Black rainbows are for sad days.
For FGR (again!!) Haiku
I love my new shades
Yes i'm an eighties throwback
And that makes me proud
LOL - I bought (or Rik bought me) these in Petaling Street Market the other day. I already have a black pair, so I bought these, and a purple pair too. Seven quid for the pair, bit different to the prive tag if I actually bought them from RayBan...
[Music theme "Acceptable In The 80's by Calvin Harris (see day 6/365 for more details)].
~Strobist Sundays~
Slowly learning lighting and this is my first attempt for Strobist Sundays.
Theme: Game on
Taken with Canon 7D, 17-85mm lens
Left side, shot wireless through umbrella @ 1/16th with Canon Speedlite 580 EX II
Shot on black foam core bristol board.
31/365 for Project 365
For FGR – The Duct Tape Revolution.
Also a Tears of Blood version.
Any connoisseurs will know that this isn't real duct tape, rather it is gaffer's tape, and all I had available. I got the idea from my previous duct tape installment, although with less of the hostage feel.
There's a reject for today.
For Flickr Group Roulette. Today's group is Crossed Eyes.
I've always been able to cross my eyes so today's group wasn't too hard to do. However, I decided to go for the bonus points and cross just one eye.
I swear, you look at me cross-eyed and I don't know what to do.
... NSL 's bad pick-up lines ...
For Flickr Group Roulette &
World of MUFFINS & CUPCAKES & threesixtyfive
A tribute to my poor little cybershot...
Unaltered Vanity for Flickr Roulette's Celebrity Lookalikes
The story behind this being: Where I used to work I'd get a lot of comments saying that I look like Ann Hathaway (from Devil wears Prada) My mama swears by this, but I tend to disagree. So, this afternoon I tried to mimic one of her glamor shots, fan blowing back the hair and all.
Unfortunately for me, I do not have a tripod, and often rely on a precarious construction of common household items. There have been a number of close calls with the endangerment of my little ol' cybershot- but so far she's only come out with a few scratches- That is, until today.
I can't fix her myself, but remain hopeful. I'm a sentimental fool, and this camera has literally been to the other side of the world and back with me- so I'm hoping above all that it's a fixable thing. In the meantime, my above awesome Brother has lent/given me his camera (From the same Christmas, so happily the exact same kind).
So here's my baby's last shot from today, but hopefully not her last ever.
For FGR - I Propose a Toast! & Headwear Wednesday.
Salut! Here's a toast to coffee, because without it, I couldn't function in the mornings. Also, sporting my knit cap, that has been photgraphed on me before, since it is all cold and snowy here in Quebec.
I'm exhausted, and I'm still learning how to use my new camera and such. I love using it, but I'm trying to read up on how to use it better. Maybe, hopefully, I'll be able to be more imaginative when my vacation starts.

For Flickr Group Roulette & Celebrity Look-Alikes & threesixtyfive
To be honest with you, I don't give a F*kng flying Rat's arse if you don't think this shot resembles a celebrity look-alikes, to me it's all about the attitude and how I carry it in my shot, and if you happen to like the shot then awesome :) anyway, I should get bonus point for smoking (yes, I don't smoke), passion for food, culture and travel and have similar tattoo as the celebrity. That is all.

#WeAreOlympiacos
For FGR and Towel Day
www.flickr.com/groups/gameon/discuss/72157605204482249/
(Thank God I took this pic today or I would be purty close to missing a 365 shot,LOL)
I had such big FGR plans, none of which planned out...basically because I fell asleep...only to wake up to hosting a BBQ with friends:)).
So, here is my Towel Day shot, my ode to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". I did actually carry this towel around with me all day:)). Here I am at Miss H's cheerleading ( otherwise known as a football game) , in the stands, taking a shot of my towel. And yes, I had to explain myself to the people around me:). It also came to an open house, I fell asleep on it by the lake, reading Pico Iyer, another traveller, and it weeded and watered my backyard with me. It sat on the counter with me while I made guacamole and I am sitting on it right now. I do feel so much more prepared with it:). Which is basically an illusion. Me being prepared that is.
Tried to come up with one favourite Douglas Adams quote...but there are so many:).
The one that made me giggle tonight is this one though...
"Why do you need to think? Can't we just sit and go budumbudumbudum with our lips for a bit?" - Mostly Harmless
Which is what I think I am going to go do:))
This is the moment the game turns — a split-second where instinct takes over and the body does what the mind barely has time to process.
In the foreground, a young player surges forward, his face smeared with grit, eyes steeled by the weight of pressure and pride. The ball is clenched tightly, not just in his hands but in his purpose. Behind him, an opponent lunges — determination in his stride, frustration starting to surface in his expression, knowing that letting go isn't an option.
The image is sharp, — every smudge of mud, every wrinkle in the jerseys, every strand of hair caught mid-sprint tells a story of intensity. The colors explode — the saturated greens of the pitch, the deep contrast of the uniforms, and the piercing sun casting angular shadows across the players’ skin.
The frame is tilted just enough to add tension, drawing your eye along the diagonal of motion. The lead player's bent knee creates a dynamic triangle, while the pursuing arm cuts across with cinematic clarity. Depth of field softens the background — subtly separating the drama from the rest of the world, as if nothing else matters but this very instant.

Day 318 of 365
Another submission for Flickr Group Roulette. Today's group was Tee Shirts. I have so many, most of which have been seen at some point during the past 318 days. This shirt is a favorite of me because of the circumstances surrounding it.
I've been a Maiden fan from way back in my High School days. I've seen them in concert a dozen or so times, but I hadn't been to anything recently. Kathy knew how much I liked Iron Maiden despite my country music fandom. As a gift she got me tickets to go see their most recent tour with a friend of mine from back in the day. It was a total surprise for me. I didn't think I was going to be able to go when my friend called me about it. Kathy had made up something for us to do that day and then conspired behind my back with my friend to get the tickets and keep me in the dark.
She is such a wonderful lady. I'm a lucky man.
Snowball Fight To End All Snowball Fights: We came outside to find to our delight there was loads of snow everywhere. Pitched street battles ensued, culminating in us driving some semi-naked Aussies down the street and around the corner. Back to your own hemisphere with ye! As I was checking out the next morning there was a snowball on the counter at reception, just sitting there. I just had to mention this to your one. All the staff were Aussie including her and she had apparently never seen snow before! Jaysus. We all got the "hot hands" syndrome from not wearing gloves - your body pumps heat into your hands to keep them warm. In case the other pictures here didn't give the impression, it was bloody cold in Erdingerburgerking - minus numbers most days. Great end to the whole episode (Monday was boring.) Until the snowball fight I had reckoned Bletchley this time last year was better, but this totally made up for it, so I was one happy camper (although Colm still has my tent. Arthur "Two Tents" Jackson, or so he says.) I woke up during Tuesday night at home with some kind of wave of fear passing over me, and the DTs are still giving me trouble, but other than that it was a pretty typical hollyer. Oh, and I quit smoking! Yay, thanks Claire.
