I've been bombarding this thing with pictures lately :)
My last roll of film- i think that they turned out nice but i know that if i had a darkroom, some photo paper, and lots of time to waste i would be able to make better prints than the ones CVS did. PLUS i ordered a CD to go along with it and the pictures look waaay better on the prints and i don't know how to save some of the other pics and i really wished i had my DSLR for some of the pics that i took but didn't turn out and....
w/e here are the better of the lot:
The Last bit of Snow
Bubble Tea :D
construction
Don't Lose your Shadow : )
ugh! see that bright spot on my foot??? whyyyy is that there? This picture should have been waaay cooler and brighter than it really is... (ALL of them should actually!!!)
Recycle. Cardboard.
Cheeeeeze ^_^
Well i wish i could update you on other things but i really should be going- i have a review that i need to go to (like i never went to the class!!! O.O) and this blog entery is distracting me form my studies (which is why i'm blogging the week before finals :P)
recently i've really took time to listen to the lyrics to this song and i just fell in love with it. TI's speaking some truth- i like it. so i decided to share it with you ^_^
Lyrics: [Chorus] Ohhhh (eyyy) I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long) Just tryna find my way back home (back home) The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone And ohhhh (eyyy) I've been travellin' on this road too long (too long) Just tryna find my way back home (back home) The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone, dead and gone
[Verse 1 - T.I.] Ever had one of dem days wish woulda stayed home Run into a group of suckas who gettin' they hate on You walk by They get wrong You reply then things get blown Way outta proportion Way past discussion Just you against them, pick one then rush 'em Figure you'll get dropped, yeah that next They don't wanna stop there now they bussin' Now you gushin', ambulance rushin' You to the hospital with a bad concussion Plus ya hit 4 times bullet hit ya spine Paralyzed waist down now ya wheel chair bound Nevermind that now you lucky to be alive Just think it all started you fussin' with 3 guys Now ya pride in the way, but ya pride is the way You could mess around, get shot, die anyday People die everyday All over nonsense, dirty money, dice game, stash box contents Could this be 'cos of hip hop music? Or did the ones with the good sense not use it? Usually people don't know what to do when their back against the wall so they just start shootin' For red or for blue or for blo I guess From Bankhead or from your projects No more stress, now I'm straight, now I get it, now I take Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family's sake That part of me left yesterday The heart of me is strong today No regrets I'm blessed to say The old me dead and gone away
[Chorus]
[Verse 2 - T.I.] I ain't never been scared, I lived through tragic Situation coulda been dead lookin' back at it Most of that stuff didn't even have to happen But you don't think about it when you out there trappin' In apartments, hangin', smokin', and rappin' Suckas start something, next thing ya know we at it Get locked up then didn't even get mad Now thinking back then what a life I had Most of that stuff, look back, just laugh Some stuff still look back get sad Maybe my homeboy still be around Had I not hit the sucka in the mouth that time I won that fight I lost that war I can still see my homie walkin' out that door Who'da thought I'd never see Philant no more? Got enough dead homies I don't want no more Cost a sucka his job Cost me more Should walked of and take that loss for sure Now think before I risk my life Take them chances to get my stripe Somebody put his hands on me alright Otherwise stand there talk stuff all night 'Cos I hit you, you sue me, I shoot you, get locked up, who me? No more stress, now I'm straight, now I get it, now I take Time to think, before I make mistakes just for my family's sake That part of me left yesterday The heart of me is strong today No regrets I'm blessed to say The old me dead and gone away
[Chorus]
[Hook - Justin Timberlake] I turn my head to the East I don't see nobody by my side I turn my head to the West Still nobody in sight So I turn my head to the North Swallow that pill that they call pride That old me is dead and gone But that new me will be alright
I turn my head to the East I don't see nobody by my side I turn my head to the West Still nobody in sight So I turn my head to the North Swallow that pill that they call pride That old me is dead and gone But that new me will be alright
Like, two days ago, i decided to take and develop some pictures from the few days the sun decided to pop it's little head out
and last night i went on a scanning spree and scanned all the Christmas pictures i liked
So here they are (btw, i decided that scanning does no picture justice- even more reason to get that bloody Nikon D60! >.<)
This is my kitty happy! (who i had to leave back home >.<)
Christmas time! :D
So that's about it! hopefully i will be able to finish my next roll soon! and, if i play my cards right, a beautiful Nikon might be all mine by the end of today :3
So you know what's lame?
Recently, i decided that i want to end up with a career in environmental law (it was either that or just international law) and be apart of the political and judicial fight against international environmental injustice and degradation and whatever (ok, so that part isn't the lame part). so i decided that i would try to get myself involved in Greenpeace and see if i can become active in my own community this summer (like it's the end of the school year). BUT stupid Greenpeace USA is such a piece of CRAP that i can't navigate myself to anything useful! i always seem to end up on the same pages or to freaking Greenpeace Canada or SOMEWHERE THAT I DONT NEED TO BE (that was the lame part).
But in the spirit of my unsuccessful search to become more active in the fight against environmental abuse, i decided to put up some eco-friendly stuffs that i've had my eye on :)
I just bought a dress from this online store called Ruche and i noticed that they had an eco-friendly section soooo i picked my faves :P -
Oh and btw ur gonna have to use ur imagination when looking at their clothing- they look cuter on a person :P
This one wasn't in the eco-friendly section but in the handmade section which i still deem to be sustainable :)
I also stumbled upon this website called thegreenloop.com which had a lot of sustainable designers and their items there (plus a little blurb for each designer which was helpful! :D) so here's what i found from there:
"Nahui Ollin is a collection of unique and fashionable handbags and accessories made from recycled materials. All merchandise is entirely hand-made by specially folding and weaving individual candy wrappers, gum wrappers and soda bottle labels--together to create the various beautiful shapes and sizes of the Nahui Ollin Handbag and accessory Collection."
there's actually a butt load of stuff on the site- but this is one of the few things that really caught my eye. just click on the link to view more stuffs :P
Finally, like i have this delema of wanting to be more outdoors-like yet hating nature, i can't help but be drawn to this compost mixer thing that one could even put right in their kitchen- IT'S LIKE COMPOSTING FOR DUMMIES!!! xD
I saw this thing on a HGTV special about green living- it occured to me that getting this would give my mother no excuse for throwing away bio-degreadables and my father no excuse for buying pesticide rich fertalizer :P
And just as a side note- all these things are well and good (just like going vegan or using stairs or biking everywhere) but it has become more obvious that 'going green' on a personal level is not going to do much good for the planet- what would really make a difference is becomeing more involved in ur local communities, our nation, and even the global community in the fight for sustainability. It's too late to "go green" as individuals, the stress that we put our planet in forces us to start acting within the big picture now.
and on another side note- Don't think that i'm one of those "Save mother nature" kind of people. My support of sustainable living goes along with my desire to help people. I feel like if we make an effort to become more sustainable on an international level, we solve many of the problems that face developing countires like environmental injustices, natural resource degredation, water pollution, etc.
