Pic Tails 42: 35mm edition

This is my Canon I shoot with... I got a tripod from a really cool dude on craigslist and he showed me some features on my own camera I didn't even know existed.

I rarely get in front of the camera anymore. It's like all of my friends have parkinson's and plus I still don't have a 'blue steel' or 'magnum' look yet. I finally got a roll developed after going through so much bullshit with the photo tech.

I met a girl 'Nivia' at work nearing the end of summer. It was during the time when I was enjoying a few girls company and as 'nivia' and myself spent more time together, I realized that I would have no problem flaking off on other girls to spend time with her. And boy did I flake off!

'Nivia' was a lot of things I wanted in a girl. Snazzy dresser, free spirited, well traveled, former magnet student, current nerd, and she has a body type that I go wild for. She was all these things and had a boyfriend. That in no way deterred me because even though I am a gentleman and a renaissance man in every sense of the word, I have no qualms about keeping somebodies girlfriend company especially while he's away at grad school.

Alas, nothing can stay gold forever and the summer ended, She went up to see her BF and I don't know how or why my feeling toward her changed... I mean I still like her but I feel like....I don't know, but I damn sure don't feel the same way I did before and as is the case with it. I don't think I can feel like that for her again?

This is not 'nivia' BTW

I think this girl is beautiful. I want to covet her, not in the weird way though...


This girl broke my lawn chair with her sitting shenanigans!
Girls from the YMCA.

A very stately looking black labrador.

Two girls repping rock smith outside the Dom Kennedy show. I saw them and thought it was funny that they're both dressed like they're audtioning for the role of 'Aunt Viv'.A sorry ass lifeguard.
I went to a Dom Kennedy show and it was very cool. I ran into a lot of old friends and I was able to be on stage while Dom was performing. I felt like I was rocking on stage with him.

Drinking sweet tea vodka and sake had me sweatin' in that Georgia summer evening heat. Having a pretty erudite sititng on me didn't help much either.My aunt came over all the way from west london to visit my mother. My mother in turn paid her back by making a crazy face in this picture.

When people would ask me if I was on twitter, my reply would always be.

"My life is too interesting for 140 characters or less."

I've been using it for the past week (via white iPhone 4)

and I have really came to like it. I can definitly see how people can immerse themselves in that world and lose relationships, friends and time. I felt the same way I felt when I first used myspace from hot or not. The learning curve wasn't steep at all and before long I was @'ing and #'ing all over the place. I've found while I'm at the lot it's a cool place to tweet and the girls that come into the club I valet at make it a whole lot more interesting.

I've been shooting with this Canon Rebel 35mm and the more I shoot the more I want to invest in some proper lenses for it. I've been shooting it digitally and the shots have been coming out pretty good.

School is back in season and I couldn't be happier. The campus I go to is only 3 miles away, which equates to a 16 minute ride on my road bike (the white one)

I'm using the bike to kick start my exercise regime because swimming season is right around the corner and I think I'm Mike Phelps, Greg Louganis!

Don't fuck with the internet

Just by looking up Jessi Slaughter on Google, Anon found her Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace, leading to even more epic lulz. As Jessi is only eleven and a whore, she accepts all friend requests; even from accounts with ridiculous names, such as I.P. Freelyand Pedobear (SRSLY). Thus, anon managed to get her email address, followed by an actual street address.......very quickly the situation reached critical mass, going into full raid mode. Pizzas and UPS boxes were promptly ordered to her home and there were a number of requests for Craigslist whores in the area to be directed to the address.....

Shortly thereafter, the volume on this entire episode gets cranked up to eleven when two new videos appear in which the girl bawws hysterically while her dad and his awesome child-molester mustache go completely ape shit bonkers, screaming at the computer over the IRL and OL trolling they've just endured.

Jessi cries that "her life is ruined" and that she's "going through hell", while the father spits out instant classics such as "you dun goofed", and he's "backtraced [our] emails" and that the "cyberpolice are on their way" and when they find us "the consequences will never be the same."

Why would people do such a thing... Oh I know why!

You broke your iPhone 4 already?!?

I don't know why I ride around with my iPhone on my lap like it's a pistol. Nor do I know why I hop outta my 'blasian' like I'm hopping out of a Maserati. Either way, it was a combo of both of those that led me to cracking the shit outta my iPhone 4.

MIA

I've listened to the first two tracks and I'm not really ready to weigh in on it yet. Plus with new music digestion, the first listens I don't know whether I like it or not. Until there's that one song that gets stuck in my head and through that it will spark my interest in the album as a whole.

I got into her after reading a review about her song with timbaland and his line about 'teepee' and MIA being the wrong kind of indian. I listened to piracy funds terrorism (check it out) like mad and then I listened to her first cd arular and then her newest via paper planes.

Anyways check it out and see what you think.

Andre gets an Iphone 4

I had the perfect opportunity to Pre order the Iphone 4 on the 15th and receive it like 2 weeks early. I woke up at like 8 am and had to stop by to see my mother and then it was off to the AT&T store to preorder. The fatal flaw in that plan was that I did not wake up alone at 8 am, I woke up with 'Lisa" and she wanted to ride with me to see my mom, and because she is unemployed she see's going to bartending school as a way to make some easy quick cash. (after paying $549 to learn to mix drinks) I'm not a dream killer but I know she doesn't know shit about alcohol and to her 'blue motorcycles' and 'long islands' are the extent of her alcoholic knowledge. So she had to be there at 12 to 'get some information' so that meant that I didn't even get to preorder because we got there at 1055 and all the early adopters/ people who were smart enough to not bring their GF/BF's had already beaten us to the punch.

All that is aside now and I love my new iPhone, I've heard all the fanboy bullshit from people with Sprint Evo's and all that jazz but in my experience it's like my iPhone barely fit in my pocket sometimes. Definitely DO NOT WANT anything larger. I have seen the EVO screen in person - its great for watching videos, but that's it - don't need a fuckin tablet to make calls with. The internet on an EVO is faster I can't even stunt on that and iPhone is wi-fi to wi-fi now, but this will change. I look for simplicity. EVO's chat uses 3rd party software. On the iPhone you dial the damn phone number & hit the video button. Period.

And I still have the chocolate case for the 4, I had to shrink it hot water but now it fits like a glove.

Andre gets hit by a police car

I hear the crunch and see the police car in my peripheral vision and I say "Are you fucking serious?"

My parked car was just sitting there and I just walked past the police car as he was backing up and as soon as I cleared the car I heard the sound of heavy objects colliding and I knew from where the sound came from it was my car that got hit.

The crazy thing was like 8 cars came for backup to just laugh at the rookie cop. I told him I wasn't gonna be a dick about it but since I knew that government insurance was paying for it, they were definitely gonna straighten me out.
