Some pictures from my new camera!!!

I got my camera...

I finally got my new camera on the 13th. I have been having a ball taking pictures of everything and everyone around. It will take me awhile before I get really comfortable with the manual modes. But I have been able to take some amazing pictures of my nieces. For example look at this one,

this is just one that I took and edited with my cheapo photo editor. I am planning on taking alot more pictures so that I can practice and eventually take my oldest nieces senior pictures this fall.

Flickr

The coolest thing happened today. I got a picture comment from someone besides a family member today on flickr. It was on my "Outside of Pueblo" picture. I went to the persons page to see his photos and leave a gratious comment in return, but all of his text was in spanish, so I elected to just thank him in english on my page. LOL! Only Two more days until my camera gets here too. And tomorrow is my birthday...SWEET!!!

Better Day's

Well today was alot better, not because anything good happened or anything. I just refused to care about what was going on with the people around me. I like being indifferent to the woes of others. I just keep thinking about my new camera on its way to my house. It shipped out from Sony today and it said it should be here Friday, the day after my Birthday, but still better than after the weekend. Gas prices went up again today so I may be taking alot of pictures while I walk to work everyday. LOL! I won't really be walking though. I just don't believe that would help anyone, me showing up to work already hot and pissy after a nice brisk walk in the Oklahoma humidity. I prefer to greet people that come into the store in the mornings with a nice smile and a "Good Morning", instead of a flurry of punches to the head and neck. Well I leave you with a picture of a beautiful sunset as I was leaving Fort Smith, AR the other night.

Gotta Vent!

Well, I went into work today after finding a penny facing up first thing this morning. I was ready to start the week off right with some good luck. Then it started to rain. And I found out that my boss was in the county jail because he got drunk and beat up his little pregnant girlfriend. Mmmkay! Then his parents come in to take care of the store in his absence. All the while telling me that the little pregnant girl better not push the issue any farther. Mmmkay! These people are proof that having money doesn't make any difference when you're just plain white trash. The only difference is that they can make bail quicker. These are the people that sit in church every Sunday and talk about how bad everyone else is. I have lost all faith in humanity! Everyday I watch the good people have their names and reputations dragged through the mud, because they crossed the wrong person with some pull in this fucking shit hole of a county. But, when someone with some influence in the community fucks up you will never hear about it. I've said my entire life that in Haskell county it makes no difference what the truth is, when people get together they make their story your reality...

Finally, time to blog!!!

I know it's been awhile since I last posted anything. But, in my defense I have been running in freaking circles for the last two months. If you will notice the above photo of Memorial Stadium at the University of Oklahoma (GO SOONERS!). This was made possible by my oldest niece who was chosen to go to Girls State for a week this summer. I drove her up there and went to her little graduation ceremony that they had when I picked her up. They foolishly gave me a parking permit for the campus. So I had to use it for my own personal benefit. HEE HEE! I parked by the open gate to the stadium and walked up to the field and got some pictures.

I ordered a brand new camera this morning. It is gonna be my Birthday present to myself.

YEP EYP PEY...

Them crackheads, they are a plenty here in Haskell county. Sweet butter flavored baby jebus! I had to change all of the locks in a friend of mines house Thursday night at 10:00 pm, because she broke up with her in home pill disposal and he didn't want to leave. BUT HE DID! She said that her little ones like when "Big Norm" comes over. I think it may be because I act like a child most of the time. LOL! Regardless, I now have the high score on her 6 year olds Nintendo DS version of "Monster Jam" (I ROCK!).

Happy Freakin Easter!

Well, this Easter was the first one since my childhood that I actually saw the Easter Bunny. I caught the little bastard outside in the yard about 8 o'clock this morning. I hurried and scampered to get my easter basket ready for the onslaught of goodies that would be left by my spring time friend. But all he left was these little tiny chocolate eggs (that tasted like shit if you ask me). And he must've been in quite a hurry because he didn't hide them very well at all, it was almost like he had them lined up. I mean where is the fun in that? And, he didn't even cluck once, not once! All in all, I have to say that I am a little disappointed in the little guy this year.

I was able to still have some fun this year. I have a friend who is fighting (and losing) an addiction to prescription meds. And she has a guy living with her that is far worse than she is about his addiction. He likes to ransack her house to find any dropped pills or loose change that can be used to buy pills. So today we invented "The Easter Dash for Dope". It involves several plastic easter eggs with single pills inside of each one, two narc-anon dropouts, and me and my friends to watch and enjoy. GOOD TIMES! LOL!

Finding Normo!!!

I've finally come to the realization that I may have a eating problem. It hit me tonight as I was watching Biggest Loser whilst enjoying a bowl of peach cobbler with nilla ice cream on top. I started to think about the bad stuff that my extra weight is causing me to have trouble with. Like, my back hurts constantly, I don't feel comfortable in my clothes, I have trouble breathing at night even though I'm not a smoker. And then there is the whole self esteem thing. I don't even find myself the least bit attractive right now. And that is a shame, because I am a PRETTY MAN when I have everything in order. LOL! So as of this moment I am going to change at least this one aspect of my life in hopes that it will create a domino effect and everything else will fall into place. Worst case scenario--At least I will look good on camera when I'm picking off the locals from the water tower. LOL!

In lieu of a title!

I got my new razr 2 right in the middle of December. I carefully filled out the rebate forms for my $80. And have waited patiently ever since. But, I still ain't got jack from these rebate hoarding bastards. I'm thinking about writing a nasty little blog about it. OH WAIT!

ME!

I am who I am. I cannot change who I am. I should be happy with who I am. I shouldn't try to be like other people, because that path just doesn't seem to suit me. I'm kinda of weird. OK, really weird. I'm not bi-polar. My range is much greater than that. I like it best when people don't know how to take me. I love to make people laugh at things that they feel wrong for laughing at. I love to hear "that's not even right" after a good comment. I like the sunrise and sunset. I'm not a violent person. I will always try to talk my way out of a bad situation. I don't fear death or anyone who wants to hurt me. I wish I could be a better role model for my nieces. I seem to always find something good about everyone I meet. I hate that too. LOL!!!

One thing down!

Hersheys kisses now have cheesecake inside! I have foil covered mounds of love. HEE HEE! I know that this shouldn't be the best thing in my life right now, but it is, and I like it. Now all I have to work on is getting a wife, house, kids, and a rewarding career. I'll worry about that next week after i run out of these wonderful kisses.

Sadness...

I can't help but have a strong feeling of sadness about my life anymore. I try to fight it but it just seems to be getting harder to hide the fact that I may have fucked my life up so bad that even I can't see how to fix it.

Refreshed

I haven't had the opportunity to get on here in quite some time. I have been going through sort of a funk. I just returned from my first vacation in over 3 years, so I'm feeling more like myself. I do have the overwhelming desire to quit my job and move to the beach now though. I saw the Atlantic ocean for the first time in my life. I went to the beach in Jacksonville, FL and in Charleston, SC they were both so nice even this time of year. I came back and immediatley got on Monster to try to find a job close to there. LOL!
