the new year

Another 365 days gone by just like that. Oh, snap!
Anyway, enough about that...
There are another 365 days ahead in the new year. Oh, the joy!
So, get your matches at the ready, firecrackers at the stand-by, first aid kit as well, because it's fun to blow up stuff and cause fear in the hearts of little children. With all those loud bangs and semi-drunk cheers...

2010 is a nice round number, so make it special.
Now go blow up stuff!

2 months

The traditional unwritten blog rules dictate that I tell you how busy I've been for the past 2 moths, in an attempt to set to ease all the worries that accompanied this absence.
2 photos, each taken during these 2 months of absence. Enjoy, all you imaginary readers.

workout

I've gotten used to working out now. For a few weeks it's almost part of my "once every 2 days" routine.
I just love to sweat it out while listening to some metal rock.
Who doesn't? :D

up and over

Billy woke up.
Billy had breakfast.
Billy went to school. He took his camera.
It was a beautiful day. Birds singing, sun shining, people ignoring it all.
Billy took some photos.

heck


hell v.4
eternal damnation
-work in progress-


Some believe it is a place of unrest, fiery bottomless pits filling the scenery while never stopping moans haunt your every thought.
Things have been slightly exaggerated.

What you see here is not, it never was and simply can never be. Here everything becomes what you might think it is, thus you are mistaken.
...
At some point, fiery pits and loud moaning would provide for everyone's... eternal accommodation. Everything was dull, agonizingly painful and everyone complained about it. Perfect as it was, it became insufficient for some.
Some stopped moaning; pitiful smiles of gratification cranked out on their faces, and the minority became a majority. Their smiles turned, from a sick representation of false hope, into actual content.
They had lost track of their purpose of becoming.
My smile faded.
...
But it did not last, as nothing does here.
The pits of fire cooled down, the moaning all but stopped.
It became cold and silent.
Smiles froze in place as every head bowed to see it's reflection in the solid cold ice. Mouths cracked as smiles got rejected by faces all around. Blood broke free from the cracks and froze in place. It became beautifully painful once more.
My smile did as well.
...
Nothing lasts here. Eternal damnation is the only constant. Everything binds and twists around it.
Once enough understand that, changes begin to happen.
"Why should I be eternally damned when all others are the same. I'll be damned once more if I will not change that."
And they do change.
Wounds heal, blood is slowly washed away, cold numbness is tolerated; all because of some, but for many to follow.
Thus rarely happens, and it takes so long that when it does, it seems as if took an instant.
So many new, yet familiar, smiles appear; so few fade. Mine.
...
I cannot help but smile when I think of this; I know it will change, soon, to some twisted, macabre form of torture; as it should be.
And it did. It became something new, that which you see today.
Ice melted, water drained, and those pathetic smiles dripped away.
And from it all, a great flood that swept everything.
It became nothing.
Nor fire, nor ice. Nothing. :)
...
"Lose all hope of rising, those who sleep in the ever rocking cradle."
I say that to all new comers.
I say that often.
I said it just now to one new resident. He was smiling.
...
I cannot help but not to smile when I think of this; I know it will change once more, not soon; from what it became to some perverted form of self-accepted misery, self induced controlled pain. One more short lived plague of happiness.
And another, then another; always sure to be short, always sure to happen.

No bad deed goes unrewarded. An eternal accommodation which doesn't always make me smile. :|

toy car

I found one of my old toy cars. One of my very old toy cars, which is the subject of some of my earliest memories, predating even self awareness.
It's almost as old as I am, minus a few ears.

pattern

You buy a hand fan from a street vendor. On the note hanging from it you read:

Follow the rainbow until you see a fork in the hand of a purple-striped gnome.
Greet him, then follow the bloody red stains on the road.
You will reach butcher Pete and have your right arm hatched off.
Greet butcher Pete.
Should you survive, you will then see that the bloody red stains are your own, small drops dripping away and adding to the already growing puddles.
Now clean them up!

nature stuff

Well, it's summer, it's hot.
Plants are bloomed, fruits are ripe. Bugs and bees are moving about... people too.

I just love ants. The social aspect of the hive and the way they carry bread crumbs way bigger that themselves.
Also, you find them virtually anywhere.Spiders, they creep and crawl, or so people think. Mostly they just sit around and wait for lunch.
I don't really like to take pictures of flowers. It's so... common. Still, macro shots are always interesting. Yeah, it's pink. I hate pink! [The color. The singer is actually pretty good.]
This flower caught my eye because of the petals, which look so fresh and pulpy.
I've played with fire a lot as a kid. It's fun and dangerous, well, it's not dangerous anymore once you get burned a few times. But it's still fun. :)
Here we have a twisted flame. The tip does look a bit like a dragon head, or an eagle head.
This little guy actually stood still allowing me to take several good pictures of him.
Here he is from the side.And here is his tongue, or proboscis.
Oh, and here's a cat.

water pump

I went back to the park today, not being happy about the way the water pump images came out.


I'm still not happy about this image, but it does seem better. I'll have to revisit this one soon. I also have to find a new water pump, since this model has a too irregular water jet.
I'm happy about this one though. :)
