UH OH AGAIN!!!!

Look what ELSE I gots!!!this is the replacement to my old trusty sony ericsson camera phone.. its an MDA Vario from t-mobile and it runs windows mobile 5.0. basically a slimmed down version of the windows xp on your computer. You can do just about everything on this thing... internet browsing, word documents, pdf files, excel, powerpoint, email, messaging, IM-ing, taking pics and video, playing games, watching movies and all sorts of stuff. its got a touch screen that is pretty nifty. it also has the ability to run nintendo, super nintendo and sega genesis games ;) plus the keyboard slides out the side so you can type with your thumbs and not have to use stupid t-9by the way, my old sony phone is up for sale at $175... for the most mint condition phone that takes the best pics that a cameraphone will ever take... ask anyone that knows me and they will tell you how anal i am about keeping my phones in good condition... i mean for christs sake, i wont even let my girlfriend straddle me on the couch without pausing to take my phone out of my pocket!!!!

toad!

found this little guy hopping around my GFs garage last night... he was only as big as my pointer finger tip...

sunset yet again

ok so im really srarting to notice sunsets more now that i got a nice camera that can take good shots of them... anyays heres last nights, photoshop edited to recreate exactly what i saw...

coins

this is my coin collection I had almost forgotten about until i started digging through my closet.... these are all foreign coins from around the world that i have been collecting since i was a kid... not that ive been to all of these places but i have visited a few... there are coins in here from england, ireland, scotland, wales, aruba, bahamas, africa, mexico, greece, japan and a bunch of others...

haircut again!

ok so my jaw hit the floor when i walked in my house this morning... my dog got a good grooming session last night and is now oficially the cutest dog ive seen this year!

petunias!

finally found out that these flowers i like so much (because they make gret photo subjects) were petunias... anyways heres my experiment results with macro mode on the camera in so-so lighting... still came out pretty good...

PIECE OF SHIT

for the past three or four months, my cd player in my car hasnt let me listen to a single song all the way through.... it will get right to a good part and then start skipping around to different tracks or ejecting the cd or switching radio stations...i decided enough was enough and took a machete to it....

you can find me...

watching movies is one of my favotire pass times so i thought id get a nice shot of the place i stop at just about 5 times a week!

sunset

this could have beenb etter but i was driving and the camera settings were still adjusted for broght outside conditions from the zoo earlier on saturday.... i also messed with this pic in photoshop a little to make it look like how i saw it in real life...

one of the first pics i took with the new camera is of my doggie looking sad from behind the fence cus i was leaving...

UH OH!!!!

lookie what I gots!!!!!!


Its a Canon SD630 digital camera... its 6 megapixels and after all of my extensive research, probably the best pocketable digital camera for my price range on the market right now. There isnt really much i can tell you about it... it records some REALLY high quality vidoes in addition to taking some really sharp pictures. It takes really nice night time shots due to a high ISO ability. oh, and the LCD screen on the back is 3" when most digital camera screens right now are all stuck at 2.5"anyways, these pics of the camera are probably the last pictures that my trusty camera phone are ever going to take. *tear*ive decided that until probably one year from now, there arent going to be any cameraphones out there that are capable of getting as good of results as a digital camera so why not just buy a small one that can be carried anywhere?p.s. stay tuned because the next phone i get soon is going to be one HELLLLLLLLLLLLL of a high tech gadget!!! ;)

exotic car meet

ive been putting this car meet together for a little bit now and on sunday it finally went down.... it took place at ciao bella restaurant in bloomington (near my house)... Heres the cars that braved the 100 degree heat and showed up...

fuckin ferraris

ok, this is why i dont like ferraris (actually its the owners i dont really like).... the car you see below is an F430 which is ferraris new awesome car designed to be cooler then the 360 modena that is ever-so-popular around here... last night was the first chance i got to see one as there arent very many in the state.... so as im drooling at this car, the owner comes out and gets into it and as hes getting in i tell him "nice car" and he just mumbles something like "yeah" and gets into his car.... i ask him if he knew about the exotic car show this coming weekend and hes like "no" very sternly and continues ignoring me. i tell him a few things about it and he just slams the door to his car in my face and without even looking at me says "cool" and immediately begins to ignore me again and starts the car up. now the thing that pisses me off is the fact that this guy didnt look like the typical rich ferrari owner... he was some short fat balding dude wearing a hawaiian print shirt that REALLY didnt look like he even knew what the hell kinda car he just got into much less deserve it at all...my point here is that i have never once been treated with respect from a ferrari owner... just about all of them that ive said "nice car" or even told them a fact about their car that they didnt know, have all just been jerks to me. and this is why i dont like the ferrari crowd. i know its a generalization but some stereotypes are just so god damn true its hard to ignore them. the lamborghini crowd on the other hand has been nothing but friendly whenever i ask a question. it seems like they are actually happy to give you answers and glad to know that there is someone aspiring to have what they have. and they arent all middle aged balding men who buy their cars in order to score dumb blondes. they buy the car for the sheer awesomeness of the car....seriously, if your going to go out and buy a car this friggin flashy and expensive, you better be god damn well prepared to be stared at, gawked at, people whispering behind your back, almost causing traffic accidents when they try to take cell phone pics of it and everything. these things make you a celebrity. end point is that most ferrari owners = douchebags with status symbol cars, and lamborghini owners = car lovers

p.s. do you think it would have went different with this guy if i would have told him "nice car" from inside my lotus??

fireworks!

for this years 4th of july i ended up going to the taste of minnesotas fireworks show down in saint paul. this was the largest display the midwest has ever seen evidently.... 15,000 shells over a half hour period. i must say this was quite possibly the best show ive ever seen in my life. the finale was so loud you couldnt hear the person next to you... anyways, heres the best shot i got from last night...
