This awesome song is a click away.

Visually, it's an easy transition, c'mon. It's a leaf with bits missing, chewed by some industrious caterpillar somewhere down the line, but as a result it looks a bit like a broken window. Stained glass, probably.
Thing I'd like to talk about is my new hard drive. I have a new hard drive, a 1TB monolith that has the heft of a concrete block. Every time I pull or save data to this beast (like when I withdraw photos from its metal maw to publish here), a light on the bottom flashes, giving a distinct callback to the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica. In addition, it makes noises. Industrious noises. Any time I pluck a nugget of data, it vibrates momentarily, and you can feel it vibrate through the glass-top desk. It's a mean, angry hard drive, and it always sounds like it's chewing rocks or grunting in distate. I guess that's what you get when you get a full terabyte's worth of storage. Hungry anger.
This week's theme is broken
I had this style of image in mind when I saw the theme, but putting my limited photoshop skills into practice was "challenging". Not overly happy with the end result, but I have a new technique to practice. It's what I wanted to use this project for though, to push myself in areas that I wouldn't normally go.
I ruined my reflection glass :'( but small sacrifices must be made!
Wondering how to take highspeed photos? The technique used for this kind of images is described in lesson 3 (freeze the motion with your flash) of my highspeed photography 101.
In Lektion 3 (Einfrieren von Bewegung mit dem Blitz) erklaere ich, wie man solche Highspeed Bilder erstellt.

Withdrawn 24125 is dumped at Carstairs, 24th April 1976.
Locomotive History
Originally D5125 it was one of a batch of nineteen class 24’s (D5114 – D5133) built at Derby works and delivered to Inverness MPD as part of the replacement of steam in the Highlands. It remained at Inverness for over 15 years until transfered to Haymarket in November 1975 where it was placed in store. It was withdrawn in March 1976 and was later towed south to Doncaster works and broken up in July 1977.

(My modem is broken on my desktop, so that's why there has been a lack of photos lately. I finally broke down and uploaded them to my MacBook)
In the past two weeks, I've made many trips to Burger King to get the Simpsons toys. Sometimes I'd get a meal, sometimes I'd just get a drink. You can see all the Simpsons toys I've acquired in this photo.
Sometimes I feel that this amazing country is in really two different ones…. divided “BROKEN” I half by politics and extreme point of views. I know someday this will be fixed.

"Broken/old but still loved"
Standing all alone, broken by time. Will I ever leave a better mark?
Fourth Prize at the Gratz Fair Photo Exhibition.
(excuse my excessive language in this i'm just kinda pissed right now)
do you ever feel like you're just obligated to something? like it's more of a task than just something you enjoy doing? that's what i feel about for basically everything. i feel like that about basically everything right now. i feel worthless at the moment. i don't feel like i'm useful for anything anymore. i do kinda miss my friends on here. what happened you guys? i feel the need to rant though because i have a lot to get off my chest.
i don't know lately i've just been really depressed. i've had so many issues dealing with friends and stuff, i can't take it anymore. literally the only place that is my escape from reality is the internet and running. don't know if you guys know this but i do in fact, enjoy running. i've been doing cross country and track since 6th grade and i love it. it's my life. but right now my running is limited which brings up alyssa. alyssa was my best friend since 2nd grade, i don't know why i put up with her bullshit all these years though. anyway 2 months ago alyssa and i stopped being friends for the most stupid reason ever. literally all she talked about was this guy that she loved a lot. they've been off and on between their relationship for a long time. we haven't had a real conversation in a long time and i was tired of it. literally when i'd start telling her a story she'd stop me in the middle of it and be like 'omg ya that totes reminds me of this rlly cute thing jonathan did yesterday ahahahah!!!11!!" i went up to her after history and told her "alyssa, i love you, but i'm getting kind of tired of you talking on and on about this guy" and she took it really personal and said “well okay if you don’t accept my feelings then i guess we shouldn’t be friends” and we had a huge ass fight. so i felt really bad and texted her like every minute saying i’m sorry. i wrote her a huge ass letter saing i’m sorry but she didn’t accept it. i even went UP to her and said i’m sorry but she kept ignoring me. okay so she does this thing where when she hates someone and they’re rushing to class and they like brush by her to class and she says “ew it touched me” so i was running to history and i passed by her and she said “ew it touched me” and it pissed me off so i went up to he at the end of classr and said “you know what alyssa you’re being a fucking hypocrite, you expect me to listen to your opinions and feelings, but you can’t even hear me out on mine and accept my own fucking opinion. look i’m done with your shit” and she tilted her head and asked her friend “i’m sorry did you guys hear something” and she kicked me to the ground on my fractured ankle that she knew hurt a fuck ton. that was the week before i was supposed to get it off but then i had it on for another two weeks because of her.
so last night alyssa ended up in the hospital. i really don't wanna say why. anywho, she texted me a freaking picture of her in the hospital with a caption saying, "happy now?" and it was really frustrating, i didn't know what to think at that time. i sobbed my eyes out and told my parents how she was in the hospital and it felt like it was all my fault, but my parents kept telling me it wasn't. i went up to my room and just sat there for a while absorbing everything that happened. and then i texted her back, "you know what, no, screw you. why should i feel pity for you considering the fucking fact i've had to put up with your bullshit all these years. i've had you taunt me and harm me both physically and mentally. you have no right to blame me for the fact you're in the fucking hospital because i did this to you. because in all honesty i didn't. you're being the fucking hypocrite who can't fucking accept my opinion civilly, but somehow i have to manage to accept yours. screw you"
i felt kinda happy and scared at the same time when i sent that to her but i feel like it was worth it. i still don't know if i'm doing the right thing or not but i felt the need to share it and get it off my chest.
i still am unsure of what i'm supposed to feel but i do know one thing i shouldn't feel for her is pity.
okay on a less depressing note this photo is waaaaay over edited oops.

Second roll with my first Oktomat to find out, if it really is broken. Well, so much for that. I had it exchanged for a new one. Lomography Oktomat, Lomography X-Pro 200, cross-processed

'In 1963-64 I used to play records both too slowly and too fast and thus changed the quality of the music, thereby, creating new compositions. In 1965 I started to destroy records: scratch them, punch holes in them, break them. By playing them over and over again (which destroyed the needle and often the record player too) an entirely new music was created - unexpected, nerve-racking and aggressive. Compositions lasting one second or almost infinitely long (as when the needle got stuck in a deep groove and played the same phrase over and over). I developed this system further. I began sticking tape on top of records, painting over them, burning them, cutting them up and gluing different parts of records back together, etc. to achieve the widest possible variety of sounds. A glued joint created a rhythmic element separating contrasting melodic phrases... Since music that results from playing ruined gramophone records cannot be transcribed to notes or to another language (or if so, only with great difficulty), the records themselves may be considered as notations at the same time.'
