why i love amy.

she didn’t get knocked up, lost her kids, and shave her head.

she didn’t have a porn tape that got out on the internet and claimed to have a career based off it.

she didn’t sleep with fred durst.

instead she has a big hair beehive. she wears crazy eyeliner. she does drugs and smokes cigarettes. she went to rehab and wrote a song about it.

she’s amy winehouse. the true bad girl. and she’s about as real as it gets. 24 years old and already on the brink of self destruction. she smokes cigarettes and crack. she has/had drinking issues.

she has 13 tattoos. the tattoos have a 50s/60s theme. she has pin-up girls with big boobies tattooed on her arm. one of the pinups names is Cynthia, who is suppose to be her grandmother.

she’s not afraid to throw a punch or headbutt someone…

more domo-kun

i’ve been seeing that there’s been some activity with my domo post. i have no idea where it’s coming from… but since there seems to be folks looking for him, i decided to post some more about our favorite little brown monster…

want to know what it’s like being domo? play the mildly entertaining domo-kun angry smashfest! (watch out for all the popups… firefox blocks them out)

Play this Game!

maybe you got a partay coming up. well tell your friends to make you a domo-kun cake. instructables has a tutorial on how to bake your very own domo cake.

and the neatest thing that i came across is from cut out + keep. Danyell put together a neat little tutorial on how to create your very own felt made domo-kun.  how cool is that?

the photobomber.

so i haven’t written in a while. i’ve been busy… moving and stuff. but i wanted to make note about the photobomber before i forget. photobomber? whats that?

well everyone has at least one image in their stockpile that was ‘ruined’ because some stranger in the background did something dumb as shit when the camera went off. the phenomenon has a name – photobombing. and more often than not, the end results are funny as hell.

here’s a few examples to illustrate photobombers at work.

big kittehs

i’m a kitteh fan. specially of big kittehs. so when i saw this one, i was amazed:

i’ve encountered only one big cat.  his name was Big Daddy.  he was rescued from an animal shelter.  he was on death row and weighing in at about 40lbs when saved.  here’s a photo of him slimmed down some.  he’s around 30ish pounds here.

big daddy

so then i started lookin for other monster kittehs. holy begeezus, i’ve concluded they’re everywhere. wtf are people feeding these critters?!?! other cats???

photographing lightning

photographing lightning has been on my “to do” list for a long time. i’ve briefly read about it and the technique used to do it.

standing out in the middle of a t-storm with a big heap of metal isn’t ideal, but who said photography isn’t risky?

obviously we’re lookin for a storm with lots of lightning flashes. a storm that you can still see that just passed over is best. that’s how i got this one.

of course this wasn’t ideal settings for me.  i’m in the parking lot at my old house and saw the sky going crazy with lightning.  being in a hurry, i got cars and lamp posts and a bunch of other garbage in my photo.  i grabbed a paint bucket and propped up my camera real quick.  so yea - this isn’t beautiful or anything, but it’s still a cool capture.

how to do it?
