last week i started having dreams about my first digicam (canon s400), so i busted it out and have started using it again. man.. the older canon digicams are so much better then the new ones when it comes to image quality. i think it's having less megapixels on the small sensor which makes them rock.
in one dream i was asleep and dreaming and heard a noise downstairs in my house, so i got up and went downstairs to see what was up. i dreamed that i saw two guys breaking in through my back door, and i used this digicam to take their picture before they killed me.
so what was weird was that i woke up in real life from this dream because i heard a noise downstairs in my house. i was just waking up so i still remembered the dream. i went downstairs to investigate and it was nothing. whew.
before i went back to sleep i snapped these.

115th dream
I was riding on the Mayflower
When I thought I spied some land
I yelled for Captain Arab
I have yuh understand
Who came running to the deck
Said, "Boys, forget the whale
Look on over yonder
Cut the engines
Change the sail
Haul on the bowline"
We sang that melody
Like all tough sailors do
When they are far away at sea
"I think I'll call it America"
I said as we hit land
I took a deep breath
I fell down, I could not stand
Captain Arab he started
Writing up some deeds
He said, "Let's set up a fort
And start buying the place with beads"
Just then this cop comes down the street
Crazy as a loon
He throw us all in jail
For carryin' harpoons
Ah me I busted out
Don't even ask me how
I went to get some help
I walked by a Guernsey cow
Who directed me down
To the Bowery slums
Where people carried signs around
Saying, "Ban the bums"
I jumped right into line
Sayin', "I hope that I'm not late"
When I realized I hadn't eaten
For five days straight
I went into a restaurant
Lookin' for the cook
I told them I was the editor
Of a famous etiquette book
The waitress he was handsome
He wore a powder blue cape
I ordered some suzette, I said
"Could you please make that crepe"
Just then the whole kitchen exploded
From boilin' fat
Food was flying everywhere
And I left without my hat
Now, I didn't mean to be nosy
But I went into a bank
To get some bail for Arab
And all the boys back in the tank
They asked me for some collateral
And I pulled down my pants
They threw me in the alley
When up comes this girl from France
Who invited me to her house
I went, but she had a friend
Who knocked me out
And robbed my boots
And I was on the street again
Well, I rapped upon a house
With the U.S. flag upon display
I said, "Could you help me out
I got some friends down the way"
The man says, "Get out of here
I'll tear you limb from limb"
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"
He said, "You're not Him
Get out of here before I break your bones
I ain't your pop"
I decided to have him arrested
And I went looking for a cop
I ran right outside
And I hopped inside a cab
I went out the other door
This Englishman said, "Fab"
As he saw me leap a hot dog stand
And a chariot that stood
Parked across from a building
Advertising brotherhood
I ran right through the front door
Like a hobo sailor does
But it was just a funeral parlor
And the man asked me who I was
I repeated that my friends
Were all in jail, with a sigh
He gave me his card
He said, "Call me if they die"
I shook his hand and said goodbye
Ran out to the street
When a bowling ball came down the road
And knocked me off my feet
A pay phone was ringing
It just about blew my mind
When I picked it up and said hello
This foot came through the line
Well, by this time I was fed up
At tryin' to make a stab
At bringin' back any help
For my friends and Captain Arab
I decided to flip a coin
Like either heads or tails
Would let me know if I should go
Back to ship or back to jail
So I hocked my sailor suit
And I got a coin to flip
It came up tails
It rhymed with sails
So I made it back to the ship
Well, I got back and took
The parkin' ticket off the mast
I was ripping it to shreds
When this coastguard boat went past
They asked me my name
And I said, "Captain Kidd"
They believed me but
They wanted to know
What exactly that I did
I said for the Pope of Eruke
I was employed
They let me go right away They were very paranoid
Well, the last I heard of Arab
He was stuck on a whale
That was married to the deputy
Sheriff of the jail
But the funniest thing was
When I was leavin' the bay
I saw three ships a-sailin'
They were all heading my way
I asked the captain what his name was
And how come he didn't drive a truck
He said his name was Columbus
I just said, "Good luck."

i tend to take different pictures of the places i go on a regular basis. and so yeah, sometimes i get the gasoline where this car wash is at.
for some reason lately i'm getting into taking pics of stuff for how things balance out, if that makes sense. so it doesn't even really matter what the picture is of, there is not really a subject or whatever, i just like how the stuff looks combined. so yeah whatever. anyway that is why i like this sideways.

macaroni and cheese! so good. my friend made some and we had it with bbq chicken and oh god damn it rules.

the original Twilight Zone tv shows. they were showing them every night on the scifi channel. incredibly good. sometimes uneven. but when they rule they really rule.

heheheeee... after drawing a pig dog i realized how much fun that drawing is.
obviously i don't know what i'm doing.
and really don't have much talent for drawing.
and i don't really care about making anything look really real.
so i can just have dumb fun.
this process reminds me of taking pictures.
as long as i don't really try or think about it much i like the results.
i wanna get some kinda computer drawing thing like that piggy program.
i promise not to pollute killoggs as much as i do with the picture stuff!
