I was working on my laptop (in bed hooray!) and got up for a drink. When I got back there was a huge rant by my 14 year old about how she can't go anywhere without someone knowing me. She goes on a trip with friends to So California? She meets like 4 different people in 4 different places who "happen" to know me. Then, she goes to Utah, same thing. Seattle? You got it! Vegas is a given. That's right Tiffany, your mom is a rockstar...don't you forget it.
(www.softballperformance.com/softball-success-tips-hardest/) - So many players and coaches say they want to be successful, win big games, accumulate amazing stats, and win the biggest prize…and yet they are unwilling to do the work it takes to get to that level. They often put off the hard stuff or dog the tough training.
For some reason, my choice of diaper bag offends museum personnel. This is me getting obnoxious about it.
Mkay. So this might be good or bad news. But I'm Taking a break from AG. I'm not permanently leaving, (yet). But I might not give up AG. Depending on if I like life without it. I would really like to focus more on school, and other photography. So that's why I'm mainly doing this. && perhaps I will save LOTSS of money with this change. Anyway, I can wait till Summer. Like legit. I really miss being tan, no school, and all that summer jazz<3. So yea. I'm mostly on my other Flickr. Ya know, MmonsterSwagg. So yeah. I like Cows. && Mooing. MmonsterSwagg <3
I just wanted to post a short rant about street furnature in the style of Mr Bentos. The National Cycle Network's signs tend to either be odd sculptural brightly painted cast iron things, or otherwise small numbers stuck on lamp posts. In this case though, they've tried imitating the traditional county road signs with their circular tops. It may well be made of some plastic rather than iron, but I think I generally approve -- it looks far better than the vast majority of modern street furnature. If only they could do something about the arms...
heh.
Wasn't gonna post anything related on the ol' Valentines day theme. But then as I was eating these pretzels (which I am still eating at this moment), I noticed the heart shape and had a little chuckle. Damn things are everywhere.
Don't get me wrong, I'm by no means a "bitter single", and sure, I find it annoying that so many people are assholes by nature, and this is their obligatory day to attempt to think of others. But I hold no contempt to those that are out tonight enjoying some fine dining and gifts. The reason why today is no different to me than any other? Nothing to do with single-dom. I might end up going out tonight perhaps, maybe alone, maybe with an old friend or a new friend. On a few occasions today I'm positive I'll be trying to make someone smile, and I bet I'll likely in some way let deserving people know that I appreciate them. Thing is, it's just like any other Thursday night.
New concept... be nice for no reason.
K? Awesome.

(i stole that quote from Megan K.. I really like it!)
This guy ranted for like 2 hours on the top of the volcano Santa Maria. Awesome religious rant, super intense yelling till he went horse, five mintues straight of "dios dios dios'" when he ran out of breath and adjectives for him. Felt close to god on the top of a semi-active volcano watching another one erupt. Film
At first I didn't like the shadow ... but it makes perfect sense for this photo ...
As I walked past it today, I noticed the neglect, there's debris, mold-like growth near the entrance ... but it doesn't steal away from its beauty ...
I do not claim to be an expert on this issue, but I do know that this building is at risk to be demolished ... still!
I am perplexed by this.
Not only is it visually beautiful and appealing ... Bertrand Goldberg was the architect ... (Marina City/Towers ... yes! same architect!) ... how can they demolish this gem? It needs landmark status!
Well, the last I heard, the Mayor is stalling on the decision ... with good reason ... either way, he'll suffer. The money people vs. the architecture enthusiasts ... doesn't seem good.
I was glad to overhear several people discuss this situation near Prentice ... and then a man asked me "what do you think? demo or landmark?" as I took this iPhone photo ... "Landmark!" (sorry for shouting, mister!) ... he responded "hope so!"
here's an article ... google will find you more ...

Well what we can we do? There's this:

who also have a petition (not sure if it is still active): www.change.org/petitions/stop-the-demolition-save-bertran... (You don't have to live in Chicago to "sign" it!)
Here's to hoping.

The elegant 19th Century north aisle creates the sense of a sprawling church, though in fact the chancel is rather long and narrow. You enter through a particularly grand Norman south doorway into what is essentially a space of the half century beginning in 1870 or so. Faith, Hope and Charity by Powell & Son are typical of that dependable workshop's early 20th Century output, and there are a surprising number of memorials including those to the memorably named Caesar Life and Humphrey Rant.
Facebook is really starting to show it's ugly side, or alternatively, it's starting to show the ugly side of my friends' activity. Who classifies themselves as a "fan" of "I Hate Waking Up In The Morning!". WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT. Does not compute.
Also, facebook friends please stop taking quizzes. They're annoying :(

p.s. Currently, Flickr is by far my favorite social network.
My first attempt to record something. These are five songs from this book that I recently mended but is now still falling apart. I think I need to use the whole roll of tape.
Please excuse the bizzare back ground shapes caused by the banister(I am sitting at the top of the stairs) and bike tyre.

"The California Legislature is considering a bill that would begin the research process of digital license plates—license plates that would replace age-old stamped metals. From what we can tell, the system would display your normal license plate number whenever your car was in motion. But stop for four seconds, and the plate switches over to advertise a service or product.
Of course, politicians are quick to remind the public, the ad revenue for a state that's $19 billion in debt is only a small reason for turning every citizen's car into a cheesy mobile billboard. Drivers will also be able to further customize the plates with personalized messages and support for their favorite sports teams."
This is me going off about how fucktarded I think the California legislature is. By the way, 10 points to who gets the Bill Hicks reference. And if this were to come true, I'd probably end up hacking mine to be a:
-Fake plate
-Advertise porn or something
-Generic shit to piss people off

This is my daily rant written in the LifeTracker journal/planner. I am angry with an associate for being unethical and I had to write out my frustration to keep from dwelling on it.

pohon-pohon yang telah kehilangan daunnya dan tinggal ranting saja. foto ini diambil di pinggiran sebuah jalan menuju ke taman Sri Wedari. Dalam suasana pagi yang sangat sejuk dan langit tanpa awan. Matahari pun bersinar dengan ramah, hangat dan tidak menyengat. Ranting-ranting ini seakan memberi isyarat tentang hari-hari tua, ketika kerimbunanan, buah dan serangga tidak lagi menemani. Tinggallah ranting yang sendiri menantikan saat-saat terakhir.
