Everybody, meet Sam

If this picture doesnt make you smile, i dont know what will.

"letters"

In your life, you probably had various different stages in where in that short period of time, from childhood to adulthood, you find yourself dreaming and trying to determine what your life is going to be like when you grow up.
No one can be sure about this, but the different stages you might go through might be something like this:
From ages 1-10, Your possibly thinking of being a spaceman, billionnaire or maybe even superman. Your mind at the moment is an imaginational whirlwind that keeps spiralling and twisting.

From ages 10-15: You start to get interested in different hobbies and sports etc, and you kind of start to think more realisticly, gaining idols and looking up to them as someone you want grow up to be.

From ages 15-18: The stress of reality starts to kick in and you start applying for part time jobs, trying to ignore the inevitable by partying and never studying, but when you try the lack of motivation doesn't make it happen

From 18+: the reality of your life has begun to spring into action and now you are sat in the hall about to be tested on everything that you have been taught, the dreams that you have been looking at are looking vaguely impossible. Then, a couple months later, you get the envelope.

This envelope is no ordinary envelope, its the envelope that could determine what path in life you are going to take. Whether it be your going to be in a top notch job with brilliant pay, or working for your local fast food joint.
Now, if you just believed a word i just said in that last sentence, then sorry that was all bullshit.

Inside the envelope is going to be a set of...5/6 letters? Just a set of simple letters on a simple piece of paper, and yet these letters somehow have the amazing power to turn someones life upside down in a matter of seconds and easily toy with their emotions. I have read various articles on teens like myself not having the motivation to do anything else after these sets of "letters" are given to them, maybe scarring themselves and in worse cases, even throwing themselves over buildings feeling like their not good enough.

Now i'm not saying you shouldnt still study for these letters because its worth a shot, in the best of cases you can exceed your expectations. But these letters should not be the reason you give up on your hopes and dreams, each and everyone of you are capable of more than you think. When you look at people who own multi million businesses around the world, you will probably say, "gosh he's/she's smart" well, half the time you will be suprised to know that they weren't the brightest of people to have ever embraced the earth, the only things they had with them were motivation, and imagination.

Now, with these two things combined, it will make you practically unpredictable, like they say "the skies the limit". But the problem is, with todays society, we have been brought up in such a big safe enviroment that we think nothing can go wrong, or the fact that we dont want anything to go wrong. There's a phrase that your probably very much familiar with, it goes like "you win some, you lose some" you may pass it off as one of the lamest phrases you have ever heard, but its one of the most honest phrases you will hear in your life.

Now, instead of sitting on your behind and staring into this screen with your hand on your cheek, the next 24 hours, try and reignite that passion that you have been ignoring, because of whatever reason it was thats stopping you. Whether it be the "letters" or people putting you down because you can't do it. Ignore them, just Go for it. I know its going to be hard, but motivation only comes to you when have actions to build your motivation and imagination off.

Dont live yourself in dissapointment, be happy in what your doing


P.s. Thanks for the photo comments guys! Still having trouble deciding though D:

Pictures that could make or break!

Sorry guys for uploading this a bit later than mentioned, i literally passed out on my bed the moment i got home,. But here are some of the pictures I've been considering using for my assignment. Bear in mind the assignment is based on capturing our world through a natural perspective, so this might be limiting my photo shop skills a little bit. It's all up to you guys.
Give me your thoughts.

You might recognize the last picture, i showed you in one of my last posts, but i never got to submit this to my photography teacher, so i guess it will be ok.

All photos are in its original size, just so you can examine them better. I'll leave you to it. Thank you in advance for helping me!

Need your help guys!

I'm on my home at the moment, after a day of taking some photos realising that i have an assignment to hand in and like two photos to edit out for it. But, i haven't decided on any photo yet! Ill be home in about an hour, and when i'm home i'll be uploading a few of them. So i'm counting on you guys to give me your opinions about them and which ones i should choose.

Ive really got myself in some deep shit.

Oh and i heard marijuana is legal in california now, not bad schwarzennegger (i dont know how to spell his name)

Blog saves me from a life threatening death situation!!!

Well not quite as the thread describes, in fact...its nothing like the title of this post suggests what this post is going to be about.
If you are an avid reader of my posts then you should know that i have been complaining for some time the lack of quality blogger apps for the iphone. (for other phone users you can skip this. There's a video for you at the bottom of the post)
Out of boredom my good friend decided to buy the only one promising looking blogger app for the iphone which is called iBlogger. Now, this does come at a hefty price as this picture shows

So with this price, you would expect to at least get a half decent blogger app. But...no, not really. The app is user friendly with all your other blogging sites like for example word press, but if your a keen blogger user then it wont be so user friendly. The problem with this app is that it will constantly crash on every corner, uploading pictures is a pain, takes about half an hour to load up a picture with wi fi, crashes every time you try to go on landscape mode, and much more. Now i have seen many blog posts suggesting we could get this on the freeappaday radar, but really its not worth it.

Heres the turning point of the whole blog, i think i have sucessfully found a truely user friendly, capable of not crashing every second and does the job for a regular blogger user. This app is

To be honest i haven't really heard of this app before today, but it has truly astounded me in how easy it is to use. You don't have to sign up for anything, just put your details in and blog away. Insert pictures, videos straight from your iphone to your posts, has all the functions of the blogger post editor etc. It is really worth checking out if your still looking. Though it does come at a price but its a price worth putting out a little for the serious blogger.


 
Heres that video i was talking about:

Introduction of you

Wow, so where do i start. Hmmm well firstly, I would like to thank all of my followers and all the support you have given me so far on my blog! I read every single comment on my posts, and it makes me happy to see there are people enjoying them as much as i do writing them. So, Thank You! Love You all.

Secondly, i want to make this post as an introduction post, because mainly i've been looking through all of your guys blogs and posts, and each and everyone of you are very unique and interesting which makes me very curious, and i ask myself "who's the one with the imaginative mind who comes up with this stuff?".
Whether your one of my new, old followers or the ones who have been transferred from tumblr(by me), i want to get to know you! Doesn't matter how long it is, just give me a brief introduction like for example, Whats Your Name?, Where are you from?, Interests etc. I just want to know you and the type of person i attract to this blog.

Also for my new followers, i haven't been able to introduce myself properly to you yet, though i did make a brief introduction on one of my earlier posts, but that was so short it turned into a pointless post.
I'll try and keep this short and sweet since i read yesterday not many of you like to stay on one post for too long. Buts its ok, saves me from blubbering too much.
(Hope this doesn't sound too big headed)

Hey, I'm Tony. I am currently writing this to you from, Manchester, U.K, Bramhall to be exact. Nice little area, keeps me busy enough so i can live without having to catch a train to get Manchester itself. I was born on 13th July 1992, so i am currently 18 for the lazy ones who don't want to figure it out :) Chinese/English heritage, so yeah my eyes are kind of weird.
I have just finished college(Equivalent to high school for Americans) and now i am taking a gap year, and will hopefully lead me to visit New York pretty soon. Currently wanting to be a budding photographer, and a musician, though the musician thing isn't going as well as i want it to be, since i'm working basically 24/7 to pay for my gap year. I am very hopeful of things, which is quite a bad thing considering when things don't turn out how they could of, I'm more disappointed than others. I don't plan ahead very well, but will always sort things out last minute. So, i guess that puts me as a major procrastinator(Horrible label).
I also dream a lot, and hopefully will be able to move out to another country or just try and get away from the same old boring routine soon, and get a job that will hopefully support myself so i don't have to rely on anyone else.

So yeah, that's basically me, now its your turn! just give me a short brief introduction about you. Happy Blogging.

P.S. here's a girl i personally know. From one of my old posts. But still, if she found out i posted this she'd kill me, so enjoy!

Get shot in the head with a bit of realism!

Sorry, i don't know whats with my post titles....Their totally random, and are completely irrelevant to the whole post.


Anyhow, a few of you were asking me about my photography class and the photos i take for it, also one or two asked how long i've been doing photography, well i started to take this class at around March so tsince then which makes pretty much a newbie at it.But on request, i took a look around my room and I found 2 SD cards lying in my drawer. As you know, i usually prefer taking photos with a film camera, but now and again my teacher asks me to use one of his digital SLRs, which i occassionally do.

You can all go into a little debate by yourselves about film and digital, but i mostly make large scale prints and mainly focus on landscape photos so with a common mind, you should all know film is better quality when it comes to this, plus i prefer manual SLR's to get the most out of my photos. Now i'm just rambling on, and should get on with the photos.

Gotta warn you guys though, they're not that good, but you guys asked for it

                                       

Hmmm yeah, here you go, these are just the best ones i could pick out of about 1000+ pictures, and for any camera enthusiasts out there, these were took from a Canon 30D with a 60F lens (not too sure on the lens) with one picture on here i used a fisheye with.

So, on with todays blog post of random stuff?

Dressed like a nerd but i never got the grades

I'm pretty sure you guys are probably quite familiar with this video already, but it was bound to end up in one of my posts one day, so i just thought it might as well be today. 

Words cannot explain how much i love this song, just because everything in it says is everything that i would usually say, and my adequate reaction to this video when i first watched it was 'HOLY SHIT THIS IS HILARIOUS'

"So Vintage"

Canada prostitution laws gone!

Yeah, this might not be interesting to half of you guys, but i'll try and make this piece of news fun filled for you guys, so you at least know a little bit about our world, and when your at breakfast with your mom and dad. You can start a thoughtful conversation.

So news struck yesterday that, Canada has thrown out its anti-prostitution laws, what does this mean? well in Canada now, you are free to have sex with any prostitute you want legally! now i know you thought it was legal at the start, but the law at the start was that it prevented consenting adults engaging in legal activity, so technically it was illegal. I still dont know why it took so long for Canada to catch up to these laws, when everyone has just been sitting back since their own country have done their bit. Goddamn it Canada get it together.

Just make sure though, when you do go do the dirty business make sure you take your time to pick a good one, otherwise you'll end up with something like this:

Instead of ending up with something like this:

This is part where i stop and leave you with a hot piece of ass which you have all been waiting for:

But no. I'm just gonna leave you with a thoughtful quote:

A cute picture:

And then the hot stuff.
