Hopeless

What can I say, I really like my iPhone4. I haven’t had too much trouble with it. I have had some dropped calls and low signal strength, but to be fair I’ve always had that with my iPhone and this one seems equally good/bad in that respect as the others.

In all other feature departments, however, it’s a huge upgrade. I mainly upgraded for the dual cameras and HD video.

Why would you FUCK WITH ME!?

Go Lakers, go USA World Cup Team and it’s weird living alone!

He’s my favorite actor. Has been for as long as I can remember. So, what can I say? I had to have this shirt.

Web 2.0 is so damn awesome. It’s given us blogs (yay) and youtube (double yay) and a myriad of other great things to waste your time on during the natural course of the day.

There is one portion of the 2.0 experience that it gaining momentum that I am not so happy with, however. A real blight that affects my twitter and facebook moments alike.  Quite simply, it’s the disturbing trend of short-but-pointless postings of useless and trite philosophical banter. You know what I mean, you sign onto to twitter, look down your list and you’ll see it dotting the very spine of your page. Shit like, “If you fall on your ass, stand up and let the world know you’re ready for whatever’s next.” or, “If the day gives you a funeral, find the fun in it” or who could forget, “A cold, lonely night always ends with a bright and welcoming morning.”

What the fuck is this shit? Seriously, what the fuck is it? First off this is logic from a 12 year old – someone who doesn’t understand real problems. Getting up when you get knocked down? Everyone does that out of pure fucking nature – literal or figurative. It’s a physical and mental survival instinct for fuck’s sake. You don’t need to repeat that shit. You may think you’re being inspirational but you’re actually talking down to your audience. Even worse you’re insulting people who really do have to deal with real problems. Walk into a children’s hospital and spout that garbage – I’ll stand just out of sight and see how long it takes before a parent throws you out a window.

If you want to give 1 on 1 advice on a subject you actually have real experience with then I am cool with that, but keep the web 2.0 world clean and keep your vague and retardedly obvious philosophical shit to yourself.

I just bought some glossy black acrylic to play around with for my mini-studio. It gives a nice surface for reflections. I’m no pro, but it’s still fun to use.

Same mask. More light, more reflection.
