With wealth & fame comes uneasiness.
Kurt Cobain was there & had perfect aim.
I could easily do the same,
But my pockets are empty & I'm nameless
...Plus, I don't own a shot gun.

Let Us Start This Summer...With A Blog. *Objects Thrown At Speaker*

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.

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?

Thus Starts a New Semester of School...Hazaa?

Third year at the 'ol SLCC, and boy were there a ton of kids this year! Word on the street, and by street I mean Alex and word I mean, is that tuition has gone up a little because some feel it's better to go to our school! It's our college! Our territory! OUR UUSH 1,2,3's!! There's prolly a uush (usual for the uncanny) 4 but I'm either unaware or out of my mind. But here's to the new year! (And I don't feel any different)

This year I think I've decided on a major. Ladies and Gents, English. I have no idea what I'll be able to do with an English major. I'm sure other majors would be more fitting, in both the eyes of my parents and part of our demographic who find this a stereotype, like math, science, or doctor. What will it be today? Doctor? Lawyer? Or Clown? Bobby Lee knows what I'm talking about.

Of the 4 classes I am taking, only Children's Literature will go towards my Associates. But man oh man am I excited for Oil Painting, Photography, and maybe Fretboard Theory. I don't know, I just think that with the spare time I have of not going to that class and learning about scales and harmonies and melodies, God bless my soul, that I could be at work. Slaving away to the man whilst saving up to buy supplies for all my classes and to pay off my car. What would money Jesus do?

Well, it's gonna be a good year. I'll miss the summer though and the wonderful times I had in the last month, She knows who she is =). It's Seattle! Oh, I kid I kid. But I digress, I'm sure the future holds many joyous occasions to come. New kids for IRC soon, though I miss my main guys last session but they've grown so much. This week was there last time and just seeing how open they are to the world just makes your heart sink. I only wish them all the best in the years to come.

And who am I to not post pictures up? I'll leave a few here from IRC and a very disgruntled Garrett after being told that we DID NOT bring home any scones...poor guy. I'll prolly post some older summer stuff up too, now that my internet is up and back. Er, Back and up. Either/Or. Good album.

He even brought milk out for himself...

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...

Buses and 2+














Documenting the Documented


Fight? Fight. Kitchen? Kitchen.

Pre-C Occured...

Totally Excited!

Better not be on the DSi...

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!

Meg Ryan

What's it feel like to be a ghost?



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.
The Champ is blurry.

Jealous?

She was helping...


...then hiding.


Fast Action Chewing!






Yeah, you wish these were your kids, or at least be related to them. Jealous?

IRC

This summer I've been volunteering at the IRC (International Rescue Committee) helping refugees learn and experience the culture here in America, and no, not like McDonald's and our problem with obesity. So far, we have played some games to get to know each others names, made collages of our culture and what we like, and this last week we were able to go to Tracy Aviary. This is something I look forward to every Tuesday and Thursday, though sometimes I don't feel like I'm doing much to help them, but it's fun to get to know the kids. I am glad Ellie asked me to volunteer. Honestly, at first I was hesitant on the idea of taking time out of my week to volunteer but it has been a wonderful three weeks so far! I am blessed to be able to do this and I encourage others to do the same. Who knows? The experience may be life changing.
