cell phone pics

i have been using my cell phone for taking random photos for the fun of it. trying to not really think about the whole process.

here are some uploads.

my cat.

we went out to dinner with our friend dan the other night.

talia at the stray cat lounge. our friend was defending his thesis statement so he could become a dr.

he became a doctor and had a after party.

at this bar they have off track betting saw these guys betting on horse races. i like this photo.

well thats it for now. i know i havent really wrote anything in awhile.

i miss this blog but i still neglect it.

terror on the reservation.

so living out on the reservation your elders tell you stories of old witches that used to eat kids, they also tell you stories of the devil showing up to community dances trying to interact with people. the farmers even see little demons and gremlins as they work the fields at night. alot of weird stories go around the reservation.

well the new thing out on the reservation is that the cupacabra is running around killing dogs and making people sick. well the thing is you have all these old elders that have grown up with all these old stories, people do believe this stuff, and in turn sometimes you get crazy stuff like this. honestly it has been pretty serious even the community council got involved. these were faxed and hung up at our community stores. personally i think its kinda funny.

bookmarks.

i made these some time ago…

i wasnt to sure about the “i care about your page numbers” part. but i left it…i catually wanted to print out a bunch and leave them in coffee shops and bookstores. but i never got around to it. i made them since i have been trying to read a book a month and i got tired of using receipts. 

 

print them out and use-’em i don’t care…

im alive.

just to let you know. i am still alive, it seems i lost the keyboard that i usually use to type this blog, but do not be alarmed  i found it. so here i am back to typing. 

hmm and just to let you l know i had pictures to share but alas my camera decided it didn’t want to sit on the back of the toilet and decided to take a plunge onto the floor, making the back fly open exposing the film. who knows something might turn up on the roll. 

wow am i up that early i just went to walgeens and it seems im up before the store was open. i guess zombies do roam the earth.

i found these on the roll…

 i dont know what he is doing. or watching i do see someone’s foot in the right side of the frame.

 

the little girl named chloe…

laying in the grass.

and a suv with no wheels on, sitting on crates. 

i thought that last picture was pretty funny…

and thats about it. 

maybe ill be back to post something else soon…

 

summer is rearing its ugly head here. 108 today says my widget.

hope its cooler wherever you are .

random musings

so as always i neglect to write here. i think twitter has taken most of my time. which is sad in a sense cause i really enjoy writing here and well honestly don’t have much to show or put down. ever since the camera died i don’t shoot no more. i have the other canonet but it doesn’t feel the same. it just feels off…

life doesn’t look the same when i look through the finder. i finished a roll of film and still have yet to develop it. 

sorry had to leave for awhile took a walk to a business down the road. nice little 15 minute walk. good for the body especially since i’m still sick.

———————————————————————————————————-

well finally getting back to writing this post.  feeling alot better these days after taking my antibiotics. still have a tiny cough, and runny nose but all is almost back to normal. except friday and saturday i had some allergic reactions, i find my allergic reactions frustrating and annoying. i get huge lips and they dont go down for a day or 2 so sitting at home is really all i can do. 

so hopefully i can get back to riding and maybe shooting some more film. 

well i hope this finds you all well. the weather has been awesome here in az.

sorry not much to say work was busy the last couple of weeks and trying to get ready for more busyness…

ive been wondering.

so i have a question. do the people that leave comments on peoples blogs are they real, im not talking about the people with real blogs who write about real things, but the ones  when you click on there name it usually takes you to what seems like a sellers blog i dont get it are those considered spam comments or what?

a question i have pondered for awhile.

6 years ago

being at home.  its weird i havent slept in this room since i was going to be married. that’s almost 6 years ago. i not once have been home to sleep here. i don’t know why i don’t really come home. sometimes to be honest with you i don’t like coming around here no more. i think i have said it before that at times there seems to be more grieving than happiness. but tonight i had fun spending time with my mom and talking with her. it seems like some time since i actually spent time with her and just talked about whatever.

so here i am lying in the same corner as i layed in almost 6 years ago. different bed but it still feels the same. the room has now passed on to my brother. sometimes it feels like more of a bachelor pad than a bed room, for the most part he is pretty clean. he just has alot of records and his turntables.

but i cant help but lay her and be not sleepy and think to myself how weird it is.
