TAH-DAH!
the cove is a documentary about dolphins being slaughter and captured for entertainment use in Taiji, Japan. this documentary is kind of old but i just came across it last night and its well worth the watch. this might change the way you look at sea world or japanese people! haha all jokes aside you guys should all really check it out.you guys can watch the whole movie here.
all of these shirts are going on sale for $5+donations. ALL proceeds and left over shirts will be donated to UNICEF to help the disaster in Haiti. more info.
songs kinda old but the lyrics are just too good to pass up.
Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for? Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for? When they know they're your heart And you know you were their armour And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you? And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you? What happens when you become the main source of her pain? "Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane "Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?" I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back...
I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing "You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?" Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying "You always say that, you always say this is the last time "But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine" She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it "Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!" Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'" I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror These fuckin' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on And I'm singing...
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back...
Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet I take a bow and thank you all for coming out They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing "Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding," But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden? "I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin' "You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad "And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad' "That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin "I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going" But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice "Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us" That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin' It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister Almost as if to say..
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel no pain Just smile back...

im thinking about upgrading my camera and getting a new one. first i was thinking about getting the D90 but... i want something more. yeah so im stuck between two choices, the Canon 7d or the Nikon D300s opinions please (dianne). haha let me know what you guys think.
im reading this book called CRAZY LOVE by Frances Chan. i came across this section about lukewarm christians (yes this is a christian book) and it really spoke to me, challenged me, and helped me realize alot of things! i wanted to post some verses up but there were just too many... if you guys get a chance you guys should really check it out.
i finally went out and bought myself a tripod today. for some reason i've been really into photography these past couple of weeks. i took this one on my balcony today with my 18-55 with the fish eye adapter. you cant really tell its fisheye in this picture
i had an idea to have puppy/dog rentals and my friend just sent me this video. someone must have been reading my mind. i had this idea in my head for like a year now! DAMN!!!
after looking through all the national geographic pictures i felt my camera itching! i decided to bike through downtown at 1 am and find some cool things to capture... my ride only lasted about an hour. i got to the NOKIA center and i got my camera out and i was about to start shooting when a homeless guy came out of no where and started freaking me out so i stuffed my camera back into my bag and left. i was looking for another spot to shoot when i heard THUNDER! "oh hell no!" if it rains my camera would get soaked cause my backpacks not waterproof! well thank God it didnt rain, thank God the homeless guy didnt jack me, and thank God that car stopped!... yeah, anyways i did get a few shots of a tunnel near my house. (looks better when its in full scale)
went up to mt high with a couple of friends. scrapped this video for you guys! music is House Rulez (theyre korean! wtfreak?!) ...also i watched Book of ELI today it wasnt as good as i hoped it to be but still not bad. rotten tomato gave them a 28%, i give it a C+. (the action was pretty good)
Yesterday i was cleaning/greasing my bike chain then my finger got caught in between the chain. it bled through 3 bandages! i wish i took a picture before i bandaged it up.
