La Coneja Más Talentosa

2008-04-17T22:40:00.000-07:00

I haven't quite kept up with the April Challenge from PhotoChallenge.org (as noted by a recent comment). I lay part of the blame on a recent project for Spanish class, in which I had to create a children's book written in Spanish. I decided to make my entire book with Photoshop and images I found on Cute Overload, and I was quite pleased with the results:


If you can read Spanish (and somehow discover my blog), I really hope you enjoy this tale.

April Challenge Day 6: Rose Creek Bike Trail

2008-04-06T21:20:00.000-07:00

This is my photo day from day six of the April Challenge from PhotoChallenge.org.

I took a nice ride down to Pacific Beach today. On the way back I discovered the Rose Creek Bike Trail along with a bit of entropy.

April Challenge Day 4: Dead Lock

2008-04-05T00:09:00.000-07:00

This is my photo day from day four of the April Challenge from PhotoChallenge.org.

This is a lock whose purpose so far has been to prevent people from stealing a garbage can. What a sad existence.

April Challenge Day 3: Treehouse

2008-04-03T20:23:00.000-07:00

This is my photo day from day three of the April Challenge from PhotoChallenge.org.

I've always though I should take a picture of this ugly place. There is graffiti all over this area, but it seems like a bunch of dumb kids rather than vicious gangsters. I've never actually seen anyone hanging out near this tunnel

April Challenge Day 2: Dust

2008-04-02T20:45:00.000-07:00

This is my photo day from day two of the April Challenge from PhotoChallenge.org.

I'm really content with the experience of this challenge so far. It has really forced me to be very observant everywhere of things that are decaying or falling apart.

April Challenge Day 1: Dead Leaves on a Healthy Branch

2008-04-01T21:07:00.000-07:00

This is my photo day from day one of the April Challenge from PhotoChallenge.org.

It's the end of the day and this is the best shot I had today. I had some failed attempts at shooting some moldy bread that I found in the kitchen this morning, but I became fearful of my health too quickly to get any interesting shots. Hopefully I'll start to see some better images as the month progresses.

The Guitarist Tunes Up

With what attentive courtesy he bent
Over his instrument;
Not as a lordly conquerer who could
Command both wire and wood,
But as a man with a loved woman might,
Inquiring with delight
What slight essential things she had to say
Before they started, he and she, to play.

Here are some awesome quotes from baseball great, Yogi Berra.

"This is like deja vu all over again."

"You can observe a lot just by watching."

"You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."

"Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded."

"It's never happened in the World Series competition, and it still hasn't."

"You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours."

Mary Dixon's Poem

2007-10-27T18:31:00.000-07:00

Once There Were Daffodils
by Mary Dixon

Once there were daffodils high on the hill
And the lawn grew right to the door.
Now there's nuthin' but weeds and wild dill
Daffodils don't grow anymore.
Buds bloomed each year with never a pause
You were the flower, you were the cause,
You were sunshine and misty rain
You were the comfort to all my pain.
Once there was a woman, my wife,
Whose laughter I never did save,
Now I'll be lonely the rest of my life,
Daffodils gone -- except on her grave.

Country Music

2007-10-27T16:16:00.000-07:00

Country Music

I like Garth Brooks
I wish I could sing like him
But masculinity is unfair
It intoxicates some with ignorance
And graces them with power
And finds them love and satisfaction
While some are given just enough
To grow chin stubble,
To ponder the intricacies of humanity,
Just enough to be horrified by the truth
But not enough to start a fight
To grab and squeeze,
To take what isn't ours,
Not enough to sing like a cowboy

Dodgeball Action Photos

2007-10-21T20:16:00.001-07:00

Dodgeball is serious. People still think it's a fun game for kids, but when you're in there and it's them out or you... well someone's gotta get out. It ain't me that's all I'm saying.

Here are some pictures I took when I got out:

Look, they're not fucking around.

Mike and Josh stood there like that for more than ten minutes, it was the most intense standoff I've ever seen. Put that Clint Eastwood bullshit away cuz this is the real deal, cowboy.

One of the blue balls turned red after being soaked by so much blood. Here Ken is using it for another kill.

Tatiana's smiling face indicates her happiness with being greeted by such a noble death.

They invited me back for more dodgeball next Sunday. I guess they're running out of players.

I introduced myself

2007-10-21T10:24:00.001-07:00

My life is now your prime time television network, except with just a few differences:

It's not comedy central because it's not that funny.
It's not cartoon network because you can't watch anime on it at night.
It's not nickelodeon or the disney channel because it's old enough to wear makeup.
It's not turner classic movies because it lacks sophistication.
It's not the discovery channel because none of the photographs will be of anything interesting.
It's not NBC because there's not enough reality involved.
It's not FX because it's not manly enough.
It's more like KPBS if it were just me in control, without all the kids shows in the morning.

Well, stay tuned then.

Nick
