this makes me so sad. they were so perfect for each other.
they BETTER stay friends and try to go back to the way they were before.
I feel like its the haters that made them break up. People sending death threats to demi like are you fucking retarded? Joe probably reads those too. What in the right mind makes you think that joe would date you if you fucking threaten his girlfriend?
Maybe they weren't right for each other but i still think this is all the fault of the haters.
i know i shouldn't blame it on anyone but seriously. watch what you say.
and you call yourself Joe Jonas fans by threathening his girlfriend. wow.
MAYBE "they shouldn't have started to go out in the first place", thats your opinion [not naming the name of this person] but they liked each other and wanted to give it a shot. whats wrong with that.
"they are doing this for camp rock two" -annonomus
yeah about that. Camp Rock 2 comes out September 3rd...its friggin May for crying out loud. There is no way they are doing this for Camp Rock 2.
"i would never date a Jonas" -Demi
she can change her mind. you do it all the time dont even lie and say you dont.
i know that they are going to be best friends again. hopefully.
well now my girl Ella can have Joe [: yay

I finally got back into the Union Bay Natural Area after it had been closed for a month or two over the summer. This is the place where I've taken most of my shots of herons, cormorants, red wing black birds, teals, killdeer, northern shoveler, marsh wren, and ring neck pheasant.
While the park was closed they mowed all the underbrush, put all these signs everywhere, and now most of the animals are gone. What used to be dense, impassible underbrush is now an open field. I can't guess how many birds nests they destroyed in this restoration project, or how many mammals had to flee for their lives. I hope the people in charge of the restoration know something I don't.
They literally put the sign pictured in the middle of a field they mowed. They also put one in front of the spot where I watched the great blue herons, ducks, and turtles for hours at a time. As if a photographer crouching by a pond can somehow do more damage than the removal of all of the underbrush in the park.
Anyway. Most of the herons are gone. The ducks are still there. The ring neck pheasant that was so charming, and so willing to hang-out is probably long gone as it depended on the underbrush for protection and camouflage. The smaller birds are mostly gone. They cut down tons of cat tails. I heard a red wing black bird on my visit, but didn't see one for the first time since Spring. Hopefully they just flew South.
It's a small park, and not a big deal in the scheme of things. I hope the restoration project goes well, and the park recovers some of its underbrush. I mean the place did used to be a garbage dump. So I know it will recover. I still want to kick down all of these stupid signs to keep people out of areas they just mowed down with weed-whackers.
So I missed the Christmas Tree formation fly-by earlier in the day. But I knew that there would come a second chance in the afternoon. But I didn't know the exact time, so I wasn't ready when I heard the planes coming. I was on the bike, so I braked, reached for the camera bag, the two camera straps were making it tricky to get the right camera out, but I managed somehow. No idea about the camera setting, so I just aimed and shot a few quick snaps before the 12 pilots in their SK 60s from the Luftstridsskolan in Uppsala quickly disappeared. Any who, this is supposed to look like a Christmas Tree, but I, for one, can't see it, but if you turn it upside down it might look better.
So i'm gonna begin off by saying this photo is simply a photo made, and owned, by Mr. Badger a very long time ago, some of you may remember, the photo had talked about how Will and Badger were against the selling of Brickarms Prototypes, especially gifts.
Now lets really begin with a story. Three or so years ago, a boy named Samuel asked his Dad to buy him some Lego guns off Ebay. Yup, thats when you guys got stuck with me, because that was the very first time I ever heard the name Brickarms. Well I was part of the Forum for about a year or so before I actually make a Flickr. AS much as I hate to admit, I was the guy named ToywizFanboy before. I remember when I built a lego building being attacked by zombies with Toywiz's logo all over it. Yeah, I was that guy, eventually i'd change my name, and after awhile I got my account deleted, not fun. Anyhow I never even owned a prototype for I believe like a year and a half. Till the day came, when Will and Badger had stated they now gave their blessings to sell Brickarm Prototypes, and eventually Toywiz, and Gibrick. And thus a huge spread of prototypes began, which I believe also helped give more people prototypes and helped end the over selling of them. As I had even seen a Prototype Mini-gun sell for 100$ USD on Ebay. Insane, yes it is. Eventually that was cut off. Ok story times over, lets get to the rant.
So guys, i'm all for trading, and even selling Brickarms prototypes and other items, but don't be crazy. Personally, yes i've sold Brickarms Prototypes for high prices, and i've bought brickarms for high prices. I mean, I bought a Rail Fail for $40 bucks, mainly cause I liked the history behind it, and its for a friend, but listen guys. You're being insane to say a needler, a mini-gun, a rail fail, a vector, etc. are worth 40,50,60,70,80$. Yeah okay, you wanna pay 30, or 40 for something go ahead, but the simple fact is this. So many people are money hungry prototype hoarders, who simply wanna then later sell items for insanely high prices. Yeah go sell your vector for 10$ bucks, i'm all for that, its simple, its cool, its fair. What i'm against is those who wanna be crazy and charge insanely high prices and then also try to make this about money, when guys these guys are mean't for figures. Don't be greedy, a lot of the time Will gave you those extra cool items as gifts, don't abuse that kindness. Thanks for your time.

Comments that aren't here for a good discussion and just are plain out annoying and or disrespectful will be deleted.
Rant warning! Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy watching the occasional 6 Nations Rugby Union match, however, I do object when the BBC totally destroy my Friday night viewing of the Musketeers! They did the same two weeks ago for some silly football match between Manchester United and Cambridge United! I live in Scotland, I don't care about English teams - leave sport to the weekends, preferably in the afternoons!! Rant over :)
Ruby-crowned Kinglet singing away. Just wish the light had been better to get the right depth of field :0)
This morning I debated with myself about packing the zoom lens as I knew about the NATO/Gripen flyover, but in the end decided not to bring it. Walking across Stortorget in the old town, I said hello to the former PM Stefan Löfven, and asked him if I could take a portrait. He said, what? And then pretended not to understand me before walking on and then chatting with a few people outside a café, to the amusement of two suits that also had recognized the politician. And then, a few minutes later at Riksbron as I had just jumped on the bike, the flyover happened, so I hit the brakes. Jumped off the bike. Grabbed the camera in the bag and snapped away, hoping for a good shot of the B-1B Lancer, the B-52 Stratofortress and the two escorting JAS Gripen planes with the 85mm lens. How was your day photography wise?
I'm sorry, but I can't keep it to myself; this print is terrible.
I really hoped it would look better in person, but as soon as I built it I realised I won't be able to get used to it.
The eyes are way too big, too cartoonish, too flat looking. The choice of black outlines gives it too strong of a contrast against the light bluish grey and the lines are way too thick. It looks more like the nose art of an aeroplane to me than the eyes of an animal.
Like something Harry Cane would fly around with.
I struggle to understand why the hell they did this. It doesn't fit with the rest of the dinosaurs and really puts me off.
It just looks so cheap compared to other animals they've done. I mean, compare this print to something like Smaug from 2014. Much smaller print and yet so much more detailed and crisp.
I'm probably going to sell the Indominus off on ebay, I just can't stand it.
Well it was all about the Ankylosaurus for me anyway so it's not too big of an issue. The latter one is fine, although the printing is also a bit overly simple, just not as unpleasant as this one.
It just seems like such a shame since it seemed nice to get a new Indominus rex with a more fitting colour scheme. I don't even mind the unarticulated arms.
Anyway, am I the only one unable to enjoy this thing? Am I overreacting?
falling so far behind and feeling like a snob around here but I will catch up.... are you sick of hearing that yet? haha
okay rant post, even though I have calmed down since my last upload, the break from here helped that... I am still pissed off a bit when coming into Flickr
The reason? private messages from anonymous profiles that have no uploads and only porn in their favourites. I am not talking about real messages from my contacts nor people with streams, just fuckhead sleaze-balls who want my private details or for me to see their cock....
SO here are some basic rules if you are one of these fucktards
I will not tell you my full name, give you my home address, phone number or email.....
Why does anyone need to know my home address I ask??? ..... all I can think of is to stalk, rape or kill me with an axe!!! because I doubt it is to send me gifts!!! paranoid and extreme yes haha but I am not some naive teenager who will tell anyone my details, I have been around since the internet was invented (seriously I am that old) which means I have seen shit happen to good people and therefore I keep my personal details private. All you need to know is I live in a Sydney suburb in Australia and like bacon.... LOL
I do not want to see your penis, suck it, fuck it or do some kinky shit to it!! I have a perfectly fine dick I can access any-time lol nothing else needs to be said here :)
I will not send you any photos of my pussy or nakedness..... actually any photo lol If I wanted to have naked photos of me around the net I would get on a pay site and make you pay for it like the other girls around here do
I don't webcam so please do not ask, I don' t need to see you wanking or blowing all over your screen, keep that for some other random chick or how about respect women and do not send at all :D
YES I really am married and yes he does know about my flickr. He is not interested in flickr, does not have an account, nor looks. We are not interested in any Ménage à trois.... We are not swingers so sorry to disappoint haha
My photos are all public, I do not have any sex photos just for my 'friends' haha and I am glad as I really don't think my real friends want to see that LMAO
hmm I am sure I have forgotten something but I guess that is the main points why I have been not getting on Flickr very much as I get sick of the questions.. I wish blocking worked but when they are faceless its pointless as new accounts get opened.
I hope I do not sound stuck up here as I am not meaning too. I understand I have posted photos which may attract these messages so I just have to take the good with the bad, maybe I will just start posting 'safe' photos lol maybe by garden or what I made for dinner ;p
I would like to say while I am having this huge rant and on a roll that I am very lucky to have a lot of contacts which I think have become my friends on here which are always lovely to me and supportive. If it wasn't for all of you then I doubt I would keep coming back :) so much love to all of these people <3
Degradation of the Internet- a Political Rant
Alright, I think it’s time to find out who my real friends are. No, I won’t block you if you disagree with me, but I definitely will if you don’t treat my opinions with the respect that I treat yours. I think the internet is going to hell, as politics have been for decades. No longer is it about an honest debate between who has the best solution, but an ongoing flamewar of people telling each other to fuck themselves if they don’t share the same beliefs. I will hereby cover some topics in my “terrorist narrow, minded, homophobic, racist, sexist, bigoted” point of view. And yes, I have been called all those things. And now without further ado…
-‘MERICA!
Who the fuck came up with that anyway? The United States was never intended to be a mindlessly nationalistic country filled with sheep. Yes, we’re not perfect, just like any country, but I, the patriot, can admit that. I think this country was supposed to be an eternal work in progress, to try out new social and political ideas and their effect on society. And being a patriot, I can understand that not all of the ideas worked, and some were definitely slowed down, but that doesn’t mean that the country as a whole is bad. And I can also admit that other nations do things better than us.
-Guns
You guys probably know me well enough to understand that I do in fact, love them. In addition, I feel like an activist for the second amendment. What some people don’t understand, is that guns really don’t kill people. It takes an actual person to pull the trigger, and assault is a BEHAVIOR, not an object. But after reading DJB’s thoughts, I can understand where he’s coming from. It is not the gun that is the problem, but the user of said device. I do think that some people that shouldn’t buy guns do anyway, and bans wouldn’t actually work. Just look at the black market, or “underground economy.” People that really want a gun will get one some way or another, even if it’s through illegal means. And they don’t even have to use a gun, right? I’ve heard stories of people getting killed by gangs using railroad ties, and you can’t forget knives. If abiders of the law are unarmed, then it’s a lot easier to stab them, correct? In addition to this, carrying does make a difference. Just look at Switzerland- they arm and train their civilians with automatic weapons, and they still maintain the lowest crime rate of any civilized nation. And as a closer example, Washington D.C. had a higher crime rate than Iraq at one point. But if we look back at Switzerland, we’ll find that they are responsible with their firearms. They don’t go on nearly as many killing sprees due to the fact that they would get cut to shreds with all the assault weapons everyone is carrying in public. And frankly, if somebody pulled a weapon on you, which item would you rather have? Your fist or a pistol? Oh yeah, and I will pull the half of the second amendment that nobody pays attention to out: “…the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” IT has been said that it is the last opportunity to defend yourself against tyranny.
-Using Death as a Sick Punch Line
The Holocaust, 9/11, Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dark Knight shooting, Columbine, etc. were all tragedies for sure, and people tend to forget about that. At my school, I constantly hear this drug-infused kid joking about all of them. Yes, death is a natural thing, BUT SURE AS HELL NOT WHEN SEVERAL THOUSAND ARE KILLED IN ONE INCIDENT! I don't care what country it takes place in, or who they are, or what their beliefs are, but the dead deserve some fucking respect.
Tl;dr, right? Well, thank you for your time if you actually read it, and if not, then whatever. All I ask is that this be taken seriously. That’s pretty much all I have to say right now, and if you’re uncomfortable with having a conservative that’s been quiet long enough as a contact, then I bid ye farewell.

The old pier that was almost completely destroyed by fire in 2010, after lottery funding of over 12 million pounds it was restored and re-opened in May 2016.
Now the Pier Trust have put the pier into administration and it is now up for sale. An Operations Manager was appointed at a cost of £70,000 per annum who resigned after less than a year in the post.
The way the pier has been run is an utter disgrace and why the lottery funding was ever released for such an outdated concept is even more alarming.
Surely over 12 millions pounds worth of lottery money could have been used on a much more worthwhile cause instead of a structure that resembles a plank with a dozen garden sheds on it.
Rant over, this image was shot using my new Nisi Filter Holder and NiSi 15 stop ND Filter
It really bothers me when people call emily an 'ungreatful bitch' or 'irrelevant' and stuck up.
Just because she's not focusing on being disney, and not wanting to talk about being lilly, or how it's like wokring with Miley Cyrus , or every little thing Disney in interviews over and over again, doesn't make her ungreatful.
And irrelevant?
really? her concerts have been sold out, she has countless followers on twitter, tons of friends on myspace, facebook, and youtube. She is probably one of the very few disney stars that are actually successful in branching out.
her record label has nothing to do with Disney, she can say damn in her own songs, she gets the chance to tour and write with amazing artists, she is always thankful for her fans.
She is one of those artists that just likes being her age, she loves to hang out with her friends, she went to a normal school, she knows what she wants to do with her music / acting and she's going for it.
She is not Lily. She's Emily Osment, she's VERY talented, very beautiful, very caring , and very driven and dedicated.
I'm going to love , and be a fan of hers because i adore her music, i adore her personality, i adore every thing that she stands for, and is.
She has introduced me to many musical groups i wouldn't think to listen to, and she has surprised me with how smart she is and how much we have in common with our style, personality, and likes and dislikes.
To me, she's a rolemodel, and a person i will continue to be a fan of.
I've loved her since hannah montana started, and i've always hoped she would branch out from being Miley's best friend , and being the sidekick.
It hurts to see people bash on her so badly just because she's not into the whole Disney scene. Don't like it, you don't have to..but get over yourselves if you think she'll change for you, or even care one teeny bit what you think. She cares about what she, her friends, and her fans think about her - that's it.
haters are not important, obviously she has lived a more normal life than any other disney star, so i can say with confidence, that Emily Osment is a normal teenager, so back the fuck off and get off your high horse.
Anyway, there is my rant.
AND YES, i made the picture, don't take it.. i didn't feel like tagging it.
I've been wondering if the age limit for Flickr is still enforced, because I just saw something that looks like it was built by a six-year-old- absolutely no rhyme or reason, just random parts slapped together. I'm not going to name names as to not start a long flamewar, but this aggravates me. The quality of LEGO on Flickr used to be superb, and there's been a significant decline, right along with the influx of new people. Legoboy can only go so far for the reason for all of this horrible stuff. WHAT IS THE SOURCE, WHY, AND HOW DO WE STOP THIS PLAGUE!
TL;dr: we need a new MocPages with a quality control system, etc.
Man I gotta tell you about the subway in Japan. Freezing cold outside and get on a train and you have to strip down to get comfortable it is so toasty and stuffy. They could save a lot of power wasted on heating and make people feel much more comfortable at the same time if they turned the thermostat down a few degrees!
