it metaphorically did blow
I was reading Torontoist, and just found out that, that whole bomb threat thing over at the ROM couple days ago was just a big sort of.... misunderstanding. Wow, that seriously sucks for this guy, 'cuz he just got suspended from his program and his probably now facing some gay charges by the popo. I think I'm going to have to side with the popo on this though. I get he's just one of those artistic people, whom I don't understand at all, just expressing himself, but leaving the thing by the ROM, than calling the ROM and saying "Listen there's no bomb by the entrance to the museum" then hang up... well that just wasn't too smart.

Black's sucks shit
However Henry's has it's fucking issues too. Number one, some of their sales associates are real smug assholes, like seriously... come on? Who pays for you're salary? I know this problem essentially exists in all stores with human sales associates, but it's predominately in stores that know they are the shit. I mean, you don't see the smug guy working in the local family owned shop, he's next door in the giant superstore *cough*. Number two, 2-WEEKS DIGITAL SCANS?!! I asked if they could scan my prints when I get them developed. I forget how much it was, but I distinctively remember when the sales associate said it would take 2 weeks.
Downtown Camera, just beside the Henry's Outlet Store by Church & Queen has a pretty nice set-up. For one thing, they have a fucking clean cut pamphlet, sitting in a visible and easily accessible spot, on top of the table, listing the various services their lab offers and prices. For my xp2, it will cost me $12.99 for one day, $8.99 for 3 days, and $4.00 for a second set. But, if I come in on Monday or Wednesday, now up until December 31, I can get my 2nd print for only fucking 2 dollars. That's not bad. (Some Holiday promo they're having) Also, digital scanning when developing will cost me $5.00 for the whole roll at high resolution. Not bad at all, well, until I find a better place.
I need to head back to Downtown Camera and see how much film is there. Anyway, Flickr is also being gay. I reached my upload limit for November way back in the beginning of November, so I haven't uploaded anything for awhile. It's been nice though, sort of relaxing. Reminded me of why I bought a camera. To take pictures, for myself. Here are a few recent shots:
P.S.
I'd deal with a smug Henry's guy any day than any guy at Vistek

Great job Gears. Look what you did. Does anyone know the studio which developed the Gears of War commercial? They also did that Halo 3 one, with the kids looking at the stars in the beginning. Damnit! I lost the bookmark.

a break from color
Tuesday, November 06, 2007
Finally put up some Initial D pics. I decided to make them b/w with high contrast. I know most of the image is now black, and it's hard to see. But thats the point! Use your god damn imagination. I'm trying to mimic a new photographer who reallllllly interests me. Practically all of his work is in b/w and they're amazing. Signed out one of his books from the library today, and had a look while eating. His name's Daido Moriyama. I think this is the first time I've found a photographer I really like and can look up to. And the best part of it all? He shoots random shit too! But I'm sure he begs to differ :)
night bitches!

Divinely put together far in advance
Nothing much this week. Didn't get to do anything during Halloween. I had work, so I wouldn't have been able to do anything anyway. Geebus, I really need to book off ahead of time. It's starting to get cold, so winter must be finally here. Snow, slush, slow traffic, and a-million-people-ahead-of-you-in-line time of year. Yay! I seriously hate malls during Christmas. It's so god damn packed and everything is SO SLOW. And you know what is buggin' me more right now? HOW FUCKING ITUNES CAN NOT FUCKING SHUFFLE FOR SHIT. What fucking happen to the days when shuffle was fucking really random?? Fucking iTunes thinks it KNOWS what I want to hear NEXT. NO YOU PIECE OF SHIT, I DON'T WANT TO HERE THE SONG I JUST HEARD 89382 TIMES ALREADY.
Sloan - Can't You Figure It Out?
Do you remember
When I totally disappeared in a flash
And by December
Reluctantly we live in the past
Well I have to go
You see the sign said so
The welcome title comes to mind
Did you ever have to make up your mind
Can't you figure it out?
(Yeah)
Figure it out?
(Yeah)
So orchestrated
Divinely put together far in advance
Your underrated
Appearance at the Hallowe'en dance
So we meet at last
before the moment's past
Staying up 'til half past two
writing this song for you
Can't you figure it out?
(Yeah)
Figure it out?
(Yeah)
Figure it out?
(Yeah)
Figure it out?
(Yeah)
An incantation like a spell has been cast
Now I'm under and I'm tied to the mast
where I'll be
Adrift at half past three
dreaming of the melody
Can't you figure it out?
(Yeah)
Figure it out?
(Yeah)

You know this is going to be mixed, but still I think it's going to be some hybrid sideview. Not going to be fully able to move around like Tekken. Which is what sorta breaks Tekken.

craigs god damn sexy list
Been taking a lot of pictures lately, a lot of random fucking pictures. I think I like my outdated manual primes more than the kit lens. I don't mind having to manually focus, but sometimes I do wish I could use the auto focus, especially continuous. Yes I'm really bitching about all things photography this post. That's because it's been the only thing on my mind lately. At least the only thing not ... depressing.
Music. Found two really great artists this week. Thes One and Double K of People Under the Stairs. It's a freestyle alternative rap/hip hop froup. Yes froup. I call them froup, 'cuz they freestyle. I never thought I'd be in to freestyle alternative rap, but shit this shit is sick. Yes I said that. Here's their myspace link. Listen to SF Knights, all of their tracks I like. Expensive at HMV though, 19.99 fucking dollars. You know its like fucking 12 dollars in the States, adjust the fucking currency already!!!!! On the iTunes store it's $9.99 per CD. That's cheap, which leads me to really start using the istore, but once again, CAN'T iSPEND!!!
My computer is giving these really annoying errors. Where it kills my Royal windows theme, reverts back to windows classic theme, and kills my audio. Apparently I have no audio now. Which is realllllllllllllly fucking annoying since i JUST bought my fucking 5.1 surround sound speaker system for the PC. Fucking fuck. I must have angered the GigaGods.
Okay, I don't think the SF Knights on myspace is working, so here is a very bad audio youtube clip. You can't really hear the freestyle, but you know it's awesome. It has to be, with all that BUZZUZUZUZUUZZZZ

Update 10:05am
God damnit, I fell alseep past the alarm.... again. So much for that :( Plus it was raining all morning. Well, still have the tripod and camera here, I guess I'll just shoot the same old shit. FUCKIGNDUIHYR@#$^%&*((
Update 3:06pm
Well if the rain and me missing my alarm wasn't bad enough, my parents totally fucking crapped on my day. As usual. They don't give me a a fucking heads up, and ALWAYS, tell me the DAY OF that I need to fucking do something for them. Then I have to FUCKING cancel anything and everything I've planned, blow off allllllllll my previews arrangements and fucking BE HAPPY ABOUT IT?!?! And I'm not fucking blowing this out of proportion, in-fucking-fact my reaction to this is sooooooooooooooooooooo fucking laid back, 'cuz the amount of times they do this same shit to me would proportionately cause me to lift this fucking monitor and fucking throw it at the wall. Then fucking tear apart every fucking thing in this room till I'm fucking exhausted or I run out of shit to fucking tear apart. And fucking worst of all, IIIIIIII SEEM LIKE THE FUCKING ASSWIPE WHO CANCELS OUT AT THE LAST MINUTE. LIKE FUCK YOU TOO!! DO YOU THINK I HAVE A FUCKING CHOICE???????? DO YOU?? And that's how my day went.
On a much much lighter note, I decided to just not give a fuck, focus on infinity, and shoot the fuck away. Here are the fucking results: (will post whenever the fuck i feel like)
sRGB or AdobeRGB?
So what are all the things I'm up to now.... Trying to get my head around color spaces, I can't figure out which is the safest to use, or best. But best isn't necessarily the "best" , I mean I guess it all really depends on what it's for. Ahhhh fuck, this is annoying. sRGB looks great on the monitor, but is it really what I saw? There's so many things I don't know about it. I currently shoot in AdobeRGB, but I save my exports for web in sRGB. Still need to read this PDF on color management by Adobe, but I got work. Oh did I mention all the school work. I wish I would just win the damn lottery, then I could actually spend my life doing things I like/want to do!!
Anyways, I'll keep this blog going. It's got too much shit to crap up now. For now, heres a picture I just finished working on:

RIP Roxanne
This is the only thing I have left to remind me of Roxanne. The rim I dinged on that seriously fucked up pothole.
I remember that day like yesterday. Driving back from school, rainy, windshield fogged, construction, and BAM! Ran over a giant pothole, not only popping my tire, but denting my damn rim. My first flat tire. Roxanne sure taught me a lot of things. Responsibility, mechanics, women, you name it, she popped a tire for it.
Horatio Caine sure has some fucking big shoes to fill.

Got bored, decided to go around the house and take pictures. Here is our very very old treadmill. This thing is like a 100+ years old, it runs on man power for Christ sake.
There's many odd things in my house, this is one of them.

After some nosey detective work, I found they're filming the latest installment of the Hulk, The Incredible Hulk. I sorta liked the other Hulk, but I remember a lot of people saying it was crap. This one's starring Edward Norton. I better not tell Mai, I think she likes that jerkface. They're closing down Yonge from Dundas to Gerrard until the 19th, 7pm to 3am. So the final shoot is today. The scene they're filming is suppose to be set in New York.
As anyone noticed movie crew people look like carnies? I fucking hate carnies.

4am
and found that there were none
I blame my father for the wasted years
we hardly talked
I never thought I would forget this hate
then a phone call made me realize
I'm wrong
If I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
just like sunny days that
we ignore because
we're all dumb & jaded
and I hope to God I figure out
what's wrong
I walked around my room
not thinking
just sinking in this box
I blame myself for being too much
like somebody else
I never thought I would just
bend this way
then a phone call made me realize
I'm wrong

dose
I finally moved the Dose stand from the backyard to my room, ALL BY MYSELF. This thing is freaking heavy. I'm currently undecided to what to use it for, as of right now it's my temporary hamper. I really hope I cleaned off all those spider webs :S Maybe a radioactive spider will bite me.
Oh and this is a funny as sign I saw in front of Ronny's building. It's dented, I dono how, but now it says "Keep off the ass". Sexy
p.s.
There's two stolen things in that picture of my room. I already mentioned one, which ones the other?
Photos:
Both of these were taken from my phone and edited in photoshop. The first one I applied a NIK filter.

test run
They looked like they really wanted a piece of PV (me), but I was totally like, "No no, I'm so committed to Mai leave me alone you sexy bastards!" and "I know a great guy named Andrew and he'll be more than happy to help you ladies!" But the sexy women wouldn't listen. They just continued chasing after me, I think one was even drooling a little. So I had no choice but to use my super-human abilities. Yes, the same exact super-human abilities that almost got a 100 people killed back in Christmas 2005. I had to skate... like a motherfucking Olympic skater! So I did. I hope you're happy Mai. I sure hope you're happy...

calgary what
I think I'll have to borrow Mai's camera :D Sure, I'll be taking the fisheye, but there's only so much shots I can take per day with film. Now, if film was cheap, like say 4 rolls a dollar, well than I'll be friggin' set.
And I've been thinking about this whole mindset I'm running on. I'm always... ahead of myself. Looking far away, not seeing whats near me. Like for example this moving out plan I've had since graduating high school. I really really really do want to move the fuck out. Having my own place to store my shit would be unimaginably fun. Having my friends over, over-night game nights, or simply the solitude it offers. The problem I'm finding is I'm so caught up in this need, I fail to see what I can do in my current position. I'm stuck in this limbo of seeing what I want, wanting nothing but it, that I'm just neglecting my current opportunities.
So I've decided to relax. I try hard to by happy and focus on improving on what is now. Yeah yeah yeah, I know you bastards see that as common sense, but go figure. Your perspective on things change a lot when you suddenly change your depth of field. It's nice to have a blurry background.
Plus, Ronny's right. My mom will never let me move out till I prove I can support myself properly. This is the part where I wish I had white parents. You know, like Ryan's parents.

Farewell
A 41-year-old elephant at the Sri Meenakshi Amman temple, located in Madurai, passed away today. Yeah I just thought I'd mention that. My mom told me I've apparently met it when I was small, so I was pretty shocked to hear that. Also 41 years is pretty young for elephants, they can live past 70 years. Oh and elephants are apparently also capable of self-recognition, which is pretty amazing on it's own. GO ELEPHANT!

AKIRA
Very nostalgic watching this again. The first time I saw it, it was with Jason when we were about 12 or 11. I didn't even know what Anime was, or that this was even anime. We just liked the gore and partial nudity :D It also didn't make any sense to me, all I knew was this kid named Akira has some super-natural powers. It was also the first time I heard of the Kelvin scale. Akira was stored at a temperature of 0.005°K, which is -272.9995°C. Of course I didn't know that then, but I did notice that room looked awfully cold, practically frozen. Absolute zero is reached at 0°K (-273.15°C), so yeah, they REALLY wanted that thing frozen (and for a good reason). The detail is amazing in the animation, from pieces of paper flying in the wind to some huge-ass exploding muscle creature in the end. Yeah, great movie, watch it.
The 10 episodes that changed the world (September 2006)
- 1. 1001 - The Return of Chef
- 2. 608 - Red Hot Catholic Love
- 3. 804 - The Passion of the Jew
- 4. 708 - South Park Is Gay!
- 5. 202 - Cartman's Mom is Still a Dirty Slut
- 6. 404 - Timmy 2000
- 7. 904 - Best Friends Forever
- 8. 502 - It Hits the Fan
- 9. 101 - Cartman Gets an Anal Probe
- 10. 912 - Trapped in the Closet
Ok lets see, I've see numbers 1, 3, 7 & 10. Outta those I'd have to say number 7 was the best. I don't think this list is in any particular order, but after I watch all these I'll list them in my own awesome order.
(And yes, this list is bulleted AND numbered. That's how serious it is.)
oh baby
It's like a sexy half naked women which you can ride anywhere, no pun intended. high-performance air cooled engine producing 1670cc with a fully adjustable suspension. there's even a disclaimer: "The MT-01 offers a significant level of power and performance. It is not intended for novice or inexperienced riders."
this one's still my favorite though,
it's no agusta f4-750 SPR,
but of course none of these monsters even reach close to this true beast!
bahhh, I need to learn how to ride a bike. Then get one.

load me up - dave matthews
Sleeping on a plane
There's something ticking in the overhead
And inside your brains
There's bodies in the water
And bodies in the basement
If heaven's for clean people, it's vacant
And hey are you know?
And hey are you being careful?
And hey are you luke warm?
Hey ya you are
I'm frantic
So load me up
Whatever puts me all the way out
Whatever puts me all the way out
Picture yourself swimming in an ocean
A million miles from nowhere and the nearest phone
There's bodies in the water
Floating all around you
And all of them are talking, and they're comedians
And hey are you you know?
And hey are you special?
And hey are you deformed?
Hey ya you are
I'm frantic
So load me up
It seems so practiced
Me fucking this up
Whatever puts me all the way out
Whatever puts me all the way out
Picture yourself at the MGM grand
Murphy's fighting Occam, you're in the stands
You're in the stands
There's somebody in the water
In the middle of the ocean
A million miles from nowhere
And they're alone
I'm there alone
So, so deformed
So, so deformed
So, so deformed
I'm frantic
So load me up
This seems so practiced
So take me take me take me all the way out
Whatever puts me all the way out
Whatever puts me all the way out
Whatever puts me all the way out
Whatever puts me all the way out

money
I got tired of waiting for someone else, I wanted to give him my cookies. Yes I got cookies instead of chips from Subway. I couldn't gather enough courage to walk over there and give him my cookies though. He started walking out of the food court; as he passed by I still didn't have enough to give him the god damn cookies. I decided to leave. He got on the escalator, I was standing there just watching him go up and thinking to my self "don't be a coward". I stood there for a moment, than got on the escalator. I decided I would follow him and see what happens.
He walked out of the mall. Turning left, heading east on Queen. I saw him crossing on Young on he just paused on the middle of Young and stood there looking at something in the distance. The lights by now were green and the cars started honking. He just casually walked off. Next light I crossed. I could see he now was trying to sell a bus ticket. No one bought his ticket.
I finally approached him, and asked him if he'd want my cookies. He said "oh no it's okay, but thanks thanks". Then he asked me if I want to buy is ticket, I told him I have a metropass. He then asked me if I change, I told him I don't (I did). As we walked away he turned around and thanked me again and I think told me to have a nice day.
As I walked back to Ryerson I felt more confused than ever.

the crazy bus
As we drove on, the women still stood there. I looked over time to time to see if he'd move his stupid bag. I started to think, maybe this guy's a real narcissist. Like I mean a REAL one, someone so self fish to them their selfish acts are absolutely normal. Like the people my psych prof warned us about. I started to rethink this situation, maybe I shouldn't be mad at this guy, he doesn't know better. At one point, I actually found it a little funny how the old women had to stand up. Hehehe
Across from the man there sat these two women. They looked like they were in their late 40's early 50's. Seemed like regular folk. I heard them earlier in the station on the phone with some child saying how they'll be home soon. The lady in the red jacket had one of those smart-ass attitudes. You know, with smart-ass responses like answering a question with a question. One of those types of attitudes. Anyway, the child called her again and the women picked up the phone. After she was done talking, the man across from her, the one who held the other seat with his bag, started telling her not to use her cellphone, that it's dangerous and can cause an accident. He kept repeating himself, and also said things like how she shouldn't wear make-up at work and she's going to cause an accident. The lady responded with things like, "excuse me? do you pay my cellphone bills?", "you're not my boss!", "shut up", "driver's aren't suppose to use a cellphone, I CAN" and etc. The man kept repeating himself. The women continued to argue back. Everyone else just sat there. An elderly women by the driver said something to the women and smiled. I don't think the women heard her, because all she kept saying was "do you pay my cellphone bills? shut up! okay buddy!". I got the women's attention and told her maybe he's suffering from a condition and he doesn't know better. I don't think I got through to her, because the next thing I know she asked me if he pays her cellphone bills. At this point I'm wondering if she's also got some condition. The bus stopped, more passengers came in. The man was still repeating himself and she was also now repeating herself. Some of the passengers notice the excitement. One man laughs, and says "I didn't know cellphones weren't allowed on the bus". Another boy, about my age or younger, took of his ear buds to hear the commotion. He laughed with the women and started supporting her. He said things like "Okay buddy, you don't know what you're talking about". Then him and the women talked loudly about how dumb the man was, and how ridiculous he was being. I sorta butted in and told them there are medical conditions he could be suffering from and you shouldn't provoke him. At this point the women quieting down, the boy said maybe he should shut up before something happens. I told him that was a great idea. Than he said he didn't like my attitude, and put his ear buds back on. The man was still repeating himself. In fact, when he got off at Kingston, he was still repeating himself outside the bus. I think the women finally understood.

Great day today, or yesterday
Than I picked up my OSAP, no trouble with that. Which is great, it's Step 1 in getting my camera. My ITM200 teacher seems like a great guy. We spent the first 45 minutes introducing ourselves. :S Work was great, but what came after work was what really made the day great.
Kicking back with people from work, playing pool, eating, and best of all, talking about our favorite shit of all time. Favorite movies, favorite tv shows, making fun of Ryan, etc etc. Shit everyone loves Friends. Oh yeah, I had to make a FaceBook account, just so I could get pictures from tonight off Brandon. It's great working with such fun people, makes the whole "working" seem less like working and more like just hanging with friends. So yeah, whats better than getting paid to joke around with your friends?
SEX , thats what. But Hey I'm happy with this :)
