Yup, an old man hit me as I was clearing an intersection. I think out of fear, and at that point, shaken from the whole fiasco, I didn't talk to the officer much in which he agreed that I [Jonathan Do] had the right of way. I do believe I was right, the light turned red as I looked up and you know how my manual skills are in 1st gear so I was prolly in the intersection for 2 seconds or so before moving. Evidence that could possibly, if not most likely, prove me right is that: 1) 2 seconds in the intersection. 2) There had been a truck stopped at the line on the opposite side of the road, in which secured my thoughts of "Yes, I can clear it now" 3) the intersection wasn't big seeing how the only lanes able to turn was mine because headed north bound would have been an off ramp. 4) To coincide with #3, the old man wasn't going too fast, giving him time to stop. And 5) He hit my rear passenger side showing yeah he ran a red. Now, let's see, I got hit March 9th. I had to go to a pre-trial, in which all that happened was "Tell us what you're doing. Do you want to pay the ticket now?" kind of deal. I set a bench trial for June 17th. I get a letter in the mail recently that my bench trial, as it may have been rescheduled, is not on September 13th. I was hoping to get this over with. Justice shit really takes a long time. I should just pay the damn $90 and get it over with but then my insurance would go up. Now, I'm not pissed about the ticket because of the old man and I have no intentions of getting him in trouble, but the damned officer did not know what the fuck he was doing. For Christ sake [Sorry, JC], he had me sign with a highlighter. I hope it'll be over soon.

Okay, now to what I was originally here for. So, for my final project in photo I picked the theme Portraiture. I've always meant to post them up just for fun and for people to see them and such because, let's face it, they're pretty nigh. Nigh as in nice, not near. Damn English folk. As I post these, I hope that Blogger doesn't have the same damned policy shit as Facebook. I hear that Facebook is able to take any of the photos you upload and use/sell them to their own benefit. Yeah, way to put that in the small print and benefit off someone else's work. They're prolly making lots of money off it. "Yeah, maybe. But at least I won't be unoriginal." Name that movie. Anywhoo, it was fun to finally get our Mason project underway. All that's left is to get a big sized print for above your fireplace. I also need a photo printer too. Yes, NEED not WANT. I'm looking at you, Mason. Communal Photo Printer? Oh, and kids can be great tattoo artists. Until, one draws a Penis Tiger.

Sorry, Kawa. I'll make you another Print.

Mustached Men, Minus Mason...

So, for my photo assignment on a modern photographer, I picked Autumn de Wilde, who is known for her photos of such famous artists as Elliott Smith, Death Cab for Cutie, The White Stripes, Fiona Apple, and Beck to name a few. Wow, and already I'm choppy on my writing. Tsk' Tsk'. But I just wrote a 5 page essay on Twelfth Night, or What You Will. I've Accomplished my writing for the day. What? You say a good writer has always, gots to be on the ball? I'm sorry, is the pope supposed to be a bunny? Need I remind you that I [nor any of the other fellas] have been on blogger, typed on blogger, or posted 10 top listers [I'm even messing that up] in a very long time. Let me get back in the flow. In the meantime, enjoy that photo above. It's somewhat a retrospect to some Elliott Smith pictures of him with electrical taped mustaches. Thanks to Alex for putting it together in Photoshop, Mason for resizing, revamping, whatever, and to me for putting an awesome name on the picture. Alex's ColonBine was a close second...there were only two names. Oh and here are mustached men a capella-ing Kakariko village.

Just A Quick Post To Catch Up...Compact Summary of Past Events?

I've been meaning to post so many pictures lately of just fun things that have been going on in the past month. Some of the pictures are pretty random and/or just for our enjoyment, you know who you are. The fellas and I have found Winco, and ever so often we'll head there for our grocery needs. I mean you can't beat the price of .98 cent boxes of Batman fruitsnacks. Who am I kidding? The place is the shit! List of just a few things I've gotten there: Fruit snacks [for our IRC carpooler's], Pie, Corn Dogs, Apples, Cereal, and the list keeps going. Mason got some Chimichangs (Chimichangas) that were amazing! But it's the prolly the jalapenos talking. I didn't even notice but apparently we were in the Asian foods section when I took this. Not that we've been doing it often or anything, but do I hear a top 10 lister of "best of things bought at Winco"?

Oh hey! Our buddy Mark got married to Cassie, that cutie. Took some photos, which reminds me...Next time I think about jumping on a ledge to snap a better photo, I should make sure the ledge is not wet before doing so. Wet ledge=twisted ankle+camera's safety. They're okay! Nothing a little time didn't fix? But what's time but man's way of controlling the world? I say that a lot and it'll never make sense to many people. Well? I'm not a philosopher. Just a wannabe Editor/English Professor [Who needs some improving, obviously.] and photographer. Suck it world! Everything's coming up Doozy! *Puts Thumbs up in awesome still-pose* It's better than the stereotypical peace sign. COME ON!

Andy Hull would [Maybe] enjoy this!

Name the band! If correct, you can have this...well you'd have to find it first. Thank you Garrett for letting me write one this Benjamin that his mother gave him. I actually did this a while ago and the bill is long gone now. I wonder where it is? If anyone ever gets a $100 bill, can I write on it? Please?

Let's Catch Up...Shall We? I've Got Candeeee

Fuck (unnecessary, trust me) where to begin? I've been busy busy busy with school. Well, more so pretty lazy than anything. My hair is growing long to the point where it either gets in the way or decides to puncture my retina, proclaiming I look like "High school-emo Jon and how this length suites a younger, more ambitious, nerd and/or skater."

Anywhoo, school has been good so far. Minus that week where I was cursed with bad luck and started drifting into a stage of panic with school [and the unforeseen cancellation of Brand new and Manchester Orchestra]. So far, in Children's Literature, I haven't read two books but recently have been on track with the recent readings. I couldn't believe I can finish a book in less than a day but I did, AND payed attention while doing so. I'm really enjoying this reading business and think I'll either take up a book club or take more classes where we will discuss novels and literature, I may seem uneducated in these topics (or any topic as many who have taken classes with me have known) but I am down with listening to other's opinions. I'm sure the movie is great but if anyone is interested, read Bridge to Terabithia. It's a good quick read having it be a "Young Adult" novel.

Photo has been great! I love Whitney! *High fives to Alex and Garrett* And I've been having fun in the lab and out on the Photo Adventures. I like some of the photo's I've taken, though my Minolta x-9 is no help at all. You think Forster's would have fixed the damned thing by now but I guess they're just fuckin' with me and now it's taking forever but I'll be patient with Abel's film camera for now. Just hope Forster's doesn't charge me any additional costs from their $80+ they've taken from my family. You happy, Forster's? There are some pictures I can brag about more than others, but only from MY batch of photos. There are many who just got the eyes talent for capturing souls or, as Whitney would say, "Painting with light." Maybe I'm just infatuated with rain or umbrellas or Kara but I don't know. Short lived? Maybe. But that's only because I'll take better pictures of people one day, hopefully, so watch out world! Your soul is mine! What movie did you just think about? Cheesy. Lame. MK.

I've started Oil Painting, every Friday. The damn class is 11-4 and it's hard to get yourself to class without thinking "Oh, it's gonna be another looong day of class." But most times you lose track and develop some skills. In which case, lately, it's been frustrating and difficult to paint like many of the kids in my class. Complain much, Jon? Well, I've been doing it this whole blog so you can either stop reading or hold my hand. I'm getting some decent ideas for paintings and am excited to execute these so ideas. It'll be tough and WILL take a lot of patience but I'm hoping I can do this and not half-ass it like all the many things I do in my life.

Oh my, I came on here thinking I'll only post this picture but rather I ended up typing up my life story in three paragraphs. You're welcome. So my mail man, who is NOT Papa Lance, likes to deliver my vinyls like this. Guess he thinks it's pretty convenient that he has rubber-bands in his little mail cart, but what's a few steps to my porch? I'm just afraid people will take my packages [mer]. I'm sure he is pretty busy though and has to stay en-route and get home to his little mail family, I forgive you. But it does kinda look tacky in some ways. What would Papa Lance do?

Kara, this could be another hint of where my house is.

As Taylor, and most of the boys, would think, I'm crazy with my vinyl toys. And over the month I bought a full pack. A whole case of 25 that cost me $186. I myself think I'm crazy but it was all worth it to get Thomas Han's and Luke Chueh's Dunny. The many other artists were great also but people, they're some of my favorite modern artists so just give me my moment and TOYS!!!

Does this make you jealous, Taylor?

I can't stop listening to Anathallo, for many reasons really, but do your ears a favor and take a good listen. You'll be glad you did...unless you don't appreciate good music? Everyone has their own opinions I guess.

With an exception of the last post, I haven't posted anything for a LONG time.

Would you not agree? Well you all know that the problem was because my internet was down, which meant no alone time for Jon *coughcough*, and I was too lazy to post anything when I did have access to the world wide web via the Green household. But on a side note, I was also appalled to hear that a certain meddler, and this meddler/eavesdropper who has never taken the time out of there precious life to sit down and get to know me, thinks that I am a bad influence. Not only was I a bad influence but also my peers around me. Now, I would have to disagree with that comment but also point out the fact that Garrett DID make us *CoughSoundLikeWeWentToTheLustyLadyCough* and I DO have the mouth of Patrick Johnson or a younger Colin Farrel, Fuckin' drunk Irish. Grow some vocabulary? Perhaps. But in a place where you can openly judge a person ONLY by their blog, which in the first place is something that you can't be taking seriously at times, is pretty much out right. I would like to hope that people can learn from their judgements and actions and consider other possibilities in a situation before running their mouths and ruining many lives. And if not, then wake up. The world is no different.

I thought this was pretty funny, but also in a sense pretty genius. Batman and The Joker advertising pizza. I took these two pictures during the summer and thought I'd put them up now after saying I would for days on end, well until the summer was over. I get a text from Garrett right before a hookah run and tells me to bring my camera. He pics me up and first thing he starts laughing. He exclaims that The Joker is selling pizza and I'm already confused. But to get to the point, we had to get a picture of this and luckily I got a pretty good shot of The Joker while Garrett was turning at a light. Batman was pretty easy because we were stuck on a red turning right but anywhoo they were working their respective corners. I wonder if they got in a fight at the end to see who got the most supporters? They prolly did, and Catwomen and Harley Quinn were there and pizza sauce was just everywhere. You could only imagine the kinky outcome. Is that why I'm a bad influence?

Seattle: This one is dedicated to the black and whites.

Pike Place Market was a vast area with the aroma of fish, flowers, and fruits. Triple F's, if possible? The beating heat and lack of air conditioning reminded me of China Town, California. Although, Pike's was more sanitary, is that saying much?

Not only did that lady have a nice voice but when we passed by her she was doing her own cover of Elliott Smith's "Angeles" Props to her. I applaud her choice of music. There were a few musicians just playing around the marketplace. Beg the question how I'd do here? I could blend in with all the Asians that are there anyways. Mind as well open up a China Town around here. But don't, we're good...really.

I caught a picture of these guys throwing fish. Yeah, not to brag or anything, but I could catch one that big too, and grow a beard like the Asian man but you see, I hurt my back so I'll let them do there job *cough cough*.

Zoo, Aquarium, and Mariners Game.

I'll be brief, seriously (like G said), if you want play by play, laughs and other Seattle stories, I think Abel's your man. I think I'm just gonna put up a few pictures that I very much so enjoy. I was gonna fix all this with the wrap text around images but then I remembered that you do that before you upload the images...oh, silly me. Well, imagine Abel's stories wrapped all around these while you enjoy yourself to a nice cup of joe and these pictures I claim to be nice..Enjoy! Smiley Face.

But Wait! There's More...I made this little cry, I felt bad but I
was just buzzing my lips at him like a cherry? Well anywhoo,
cute little bugger.

The Emerald City!!

No, not THE Emerald city, unless you live in Seattle and think that the wizard doesn't exist and consider that only your Emerald city is the only cty...well fuck...who else would take care of the wicked witch of the west for you? I just sent Jake away, he's pretty intimidating when trying to write something. But then again, who isn't when your trying to write and they're peering over your shoulder and judging/picking out ever single word you type and saying something like "Seattle has two t's" or "Is cussing necessary?". He didn't say that, but I felt obligated to cuss just to prove to Jake that I can be a badass, but we just can't stand for hazey eyes anymore! Guess I'll just put up these photos and explain them later, Abel prolly wants his laptop back and Alex is in the buff and eventually I should take a bath maybe check off Seattle but I'm just not that...well you know. Garrett wants to blog, blogging is for fools, fools do nothing, nothing is Taylor, Taylor lives with Garrett...full circle, that's just how life works...

Late Night Scheming...

Tonight we missed our Avatar marathon, but we did have an adventure. We has some misadventures in the mountains but no one was harmed, well except Taylor's feelings maybe. You can ask him. Thank you Garrett's boss for giving him a tripod that I borrowed for a few pictures of the pretty sky. The people in the pictures are blurry and bright but it doent (duh-int) matta...it's all about the sky and all it's pretty stars!

Can you guess what we were trying to draw?

This One's For Her Majesty!

So I though I'd put one of us getting ready for the picture also, that's what you don't get to see when the photographer is setting up the picture and getting the lighting right. Poor Bammers has a glare on him, maybe he just has that sparkle in his smile? I don't know.......blow me. BALLOON! Post Script, this is the cutest damn house in the world! Now I'm jealous...

Looks like I'm gonna drop the F' Bomb. Fuck, I said it.
