when it was warmer

i liked old buildings.
i also liked the grass.
i lied there for quite some time.
a 10 year old asked for the time.
i told him.
he went on his way.

when chewed gum is more then just chewed gum

pretend you are not yourself already.

Happy halloween. I refuse to capitalize the "h". The "h" does not deserve that little bit of effort of my pinkie holding down the shift key. It really does not. This is a six month old self portrait I made rather quickly. I came across it in my Photobucket account. Nothing terriblly exciting, but I am at the library. With a limited selection.
I always really like the red bricks. They were in the courtyard of my great friend Abigail's place.

i thought about it, so i did it.

it makes me giggle a bit.
maybe someone else will get a laugh out of it.

a cloudless abyss of blue

gray will soon eat my beloved sun
she'll only make special appearances this winter
and they'll be far and in between
so this crisp day of soul piercing blueness is taunting
i know what lies just around the corner
the earth is tilting further away from her
she doesn't stay out as late as she used to

soon the government will force her to go to bed an hour earlier.

time is slippery

I find it odd how time can feel like sandpaper one day and then, suddenly, like that yellow slip and slide I played with as a child. It's a funny one.
Kurt Vonnegut died earlier this year. In his book on what happened in Dresden he tells a tale of a man who describes an alien race that views the world in four dimensions. This somehow leads to the ability to see a personal history as a whole entity. One can pop in and out of any moment at any time? This is a curious way to deal with the concept of death. And I liked the sound of it.
It doesn't really fit here, it just occurred to me.
Time is a funny one.
So it goes.

all i can do is procrastinate

i should be writing a paper. not a blog entry.
i was back on that roof with some friends last night.
i am not a fan of how the nikon d40 handles a lack of light.
it works, but not on the level i'd like.

a positive habit (for a change)

I want to start using this blog for a productive purpose.
Earlier tonight I checked out a Nikon D40 from the photo lab here on campus. I decided that I would climb on top of the Mechanical Engineering building and take pictures as I was walking out of the lab. The classically UD image on the left was just one of 133 pictures I took up there.
As walking home I was toying with the idea of creating a diptych out of this image. I would photoshop my hand giving the middle finger. I don't dislike UD, the concept just struck me as funny.
Who is Tilla Tequilla? I am confused as I skim past MTV. She seems like my buddy hoffman's type. I'll need to ask him about her.

shadows in shadows in shadows.

Focus, shadows and blurry lights are part of my visual addiction these days. I accidentally made a black and white image like these 4 years ago. On some level, this is an homage to that image that changed everything.

the sky

The blue sky has been very stimulating lately. Objects floating in the sky.
