Me

It's uncanny!

It's me. An impression of me. A sort of impression by me. Well it's art, so perhaps it isn't entirely realistic. I had fun modeling for it though. Pretty much sat in a bar and chatted, all at someone else's expense. Took some photos as this example shows. Very similar to my first choice of way to spend an afternoon. Well, my actual first choice might an unusual combination of photography, sex, internet and a very nice dinner, (and the company of a different gentleman though this guy is cool, some of the factors are to be enjoyed with a particular person) but beer and pubs are pretty good. And the final result is me, as art. Or sort of me anyway.

No flowers or sunsets here.

Monday. The beginning of another dull, drudgerous week and waiting for another weekend, sigh. Oh ok, my impulse to grumble is just too strong. I really have nothing to complain about, not since Mr Computer has decided to start behaving (fingers, toes and everything crossable crossed).

It's not a particularly lovely day but I'm off for my first "sitting" with my new artist friend. He's going to sketch me. We'll probably be in the pub as it doesn't look like weather for the park, but that's all cool with me. In fact great! Two of my favourite things, hanging out in a pub and having people fuss over me and make art out of me, could it get any better?

Well actually it could get a lot better but if I wrote the list of ways in which "things" in general could improve I would be here all day and miss my appointment, so see y'all later.

Sunday Evening.

The dark side.

And I'm feeling, dunno. I got my photos on the computer, finally, so I feel better than I was earlier on. I was getting extremely irate there. Most of the photos weren't mine, and a couple were mine + his but I'm not showing them to anyone else so I only have a few to show for my hours of tirelessly trying the same shit over and over again until it finally worked. This is one of them.

And on with another week.

Will it ever end?

It really seems to be a week for technology problems. At least I hope it is because if it isn't that means it's just going to be a regular thing. After fixing my computer the other night, all was well the next day. But then yesterday I took a few photos, just for the fun of it and tried to put them on the computer. It just wouldn't work. I have no idea why, I tried and tried again, restarted the computer and everything I could think of.

I use Flashpath which is a disc you put the memory card in, and I've been using this for about 3 years, it's didn't come with the camera. I have the hardware that came with the camera, but not the installation cd for the software because the man who did the buying at the time let the guy he bought it from second hand tell him he couldn't find it and it was easy enough to download it from the internet. I was slightly annoyed at this but as I was using something else it didn't matter so much.

Well now I need it, and I've tried downloading all sorts of different things and none of them work. I'm doomed, nothing will work.

Mr Duck says Quack!

Gimme food!

I met Mr Duck yesterday as I was wandering around by the river Vltava. "Quack" apparently means "gimme some goodies", as just minutes before I arrived there was a gentleman generously handing out duck treats. Obviously I was viewed as a potential feeder.

I was armed only with my camera, and unfortunately didn't have any duck goodies to give out, but he posed for me anyway. Good duck.

As I mentioned yesterday I also managed to get shots of dancing Slovakians, dancing buildings, bridges, a castle and some swans. Check them out on Flickr.

I fixed it!

It's ok you can hold the applause. Don't ask me how I did it, I'm not sure, but I something seemed to work. Of course now the internet is working really slowly, making it impossible to catch up with everything I missed today. Typical. At least I have something to complain about.

I suppose my best friend being temporarily dead today had a good side. I actually got my ass out into the centre and took some photos, though I thought I'd never be able to get them off the camera and see them properly. It was great, ducks, dancing Slovakians, dancing buildings. All sorts of crazy stuff. Of course now I can't upload anything because the connection is so damn slow, so you'll have to wait to see them.

This is typical!

I'm suffering from the indignity of having to post this from an internet cafe. Why you ask? Well my computer is dead. Fucked. Buggered. Frumxed!

I made that last one up. Well anyway it just won't turn on. I tried again and again this morning and it just won't do it. Well it kind of turns on, the Windows logo comes up and looks like it's going to start normally but then the screen just goes to black and stays there. I don't know what to do with it. I tried looking up the problem to see if it was fixable, and the only thing I seem to have found out is that its probably a hardware problem, which information is about as useful to me as if it were a werewolf problem. I don't know anything about fiddling around with the hard bits! I'd just break it.

So I'm here. Apart from the futile attempt to find a fix from my problem I had to check my email, blogs, stats and photo stuff so I've been here a while. I don't have my phone with me because someone had to borrow it because he lost his own the other night getting seriously shitfaced. He needs it because he has meetings with people, and I don't really need it that much because I don't have a life, or friends, or any purpose. And now I don't even have a computer. I'm going to cry now.

Wednesday don't have to come up with a subject blogging.

I've been suffering from a severe case of blogger's block recently. I simply can't think of anything to write, and if I do it's something very uninspiring. Not that it matters as no one seems to care, views and comments have gone down drastically and I can't say I can blame you.

Nevertheless I feel fortunate that a few weeks ago I came up with gimmick in which at least one day a week I can fulfill my blogging duties without really having to come up with anything, and instead just do a couple of piss poor translations of a random bible verse. Which is what I'm going to do now.

John 2:15... "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him...And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."

a) All you need is love. (la da da da da) All you need is love.
All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.
Love, love, love. Love, love, love (and on and on for about 3 hours, getting very high in the meantime.

b) It's not material possessions that matter but love. No I don't mean don't eat or clothe your children or whatever, just that live your life for your family, friends, and yes, Jesus instead of riches and fame. I mean by all means have a nice house and stuff, but don't get obsessed with keeping up with the Joneses sort of thing, and don't rip of and exploit people. That's totally whack.

c) Jesus is coming! The Rapture will be upon us soon. We don't care about worldly things. We know the world is going to be over soon, so we don't have to worry about the environment or our children's futures. We can pollute and overpopulate and screw the poor to our hearts content.

End.
