People who (spelt out whore by accident, I guess I can call them whores as a derogatory term.. anyway) ride their bikes in the middle of the road suck. Period. No ifs, ands or buts about it. They have absolutely no reason to be in the street when there is a perfectly good sidewalk just two feet to the side of them.

I had to go to a store to return some things, and on the way there I got to the worst part of town when it comes to the street space. There is parking on each side of the road, and side walks on each side at least 4 feet wide. Each lane gets VERY narrow, especially when cars are parked on the sides right up on the white lines. If you stand on the double yellow line, you’d get clipped by mirrors at this section. Also, there is a stop light ahead of me as I get there.

Lo and behold, there is a sole guy on a bike. Complete with jackass tights, blue sweater, dorky looking helmet and sunglasses. Had to be in his later 30s I think. I’m going southbound, so is he, so are the cars in front and behind me. The light was turning yellow at this point.

This moron, was on the driving part of the white line, a good foot to two feet in the driving lane as he wobbled at low speed to avoid the parked cars. The car in front of me, had to pull over the double yellow line to avoid him. I saw this happening, so I got prepared. I opened my window.

As I drove past him, I shouted as loud as I could the following, simple phrase. “GET ON THE SIDEWALK.” Simple directions, made sense. He shouts back “HEY” real loud as he approaches my passenger window. Then stops and starts yelling at me as if I were the one at fault. Says he is traffic on the road and has the right to be there.

I’ll give him that, I’ll happily make room, pull over, and slow down for anyone in the road. For the love of God though, you don’t have to be in the road when there IS A PERFECTLY GOOD SIDEWALK TO USE THAT IS DEVOID OF HUMAN LIFE AND ACTIVITY.

He continues yelling at me, I call him a jackass after the traffic comment, and his voice shoots up to 8 year old girl and tries to mock me with repeating what I said. Real mature for a older guy. Clearly he was a dick head. He was obviously only in the road to piss off people who are trying NOT to kill anyone.

Before the light turned green I started laughing, called him a girl a few times. It was hilarious to watch him. I think it pissed him off more that he wasn’t pissing me off.

The dumbass went on his little fairy way and I’m just laughing to myself as I drive off.

So seriously, why do these idiots have to ride in the street? Sidewalks are safer for them. They put my life in danger, their life in danger, and other driver’s lives in danger by being in the street when a sidewalk is an alternative.

I normally wouldn’t do something like this, but I yelled at him because it forced me to go over the double yellow into the other lane. Thankfully no one was coming at me or I really would of been pissed off at the guy. It should be illegal for pedestrians and bikers to be in the street when there are sidewalks, period.

That was the highlight of my day so far, felt like I’d share it with the rest of you.

Just this little minute clip alone was enough to make me nearly spit my drink across the room. The jeepers crumpets comment caught me off guard, the fact that it is two drunk Russian guys that apparently crashed their tank are in Alaska, ‘Paylin’ called it foreign relations to let them in. It’s just classic material right here.

Makes you wonder what the real Palin thinks of this, probably burns her crumpets so bad. It’ll probably just give McCain a heart attack however, don’t think his heart can handle it.

You have to hand it to the porn industry to do something like this. It is true what they say, anything and everything can and will be pornography.

Olympus Evolt E-510

Well, I finally got my new toy and I’ve been wanting it for a long time now. I’ve wanted a DSLR camera ever since they first came out. It was a painful wait too, took about a week to get the camera just to find out I had to wait another week because the guy forgot to pack the batteries. I finally got it all however, and also got a weekend to play with it. I must say, I absolutely love it. I’m a secret camera-freak I guess, so finally buying this is just awesome.

I figured I’d write a little unprofessional review of it, as well as test out wordpress’s new features (yay image captions).

It is any enthusiast photographer’s wet dream. Automatic bracketing (in different ways too), 3 FPS shooting, 10 megapixels, RAW capability, in-body image stabilization (nifty feature), full-automatic mode as well as Aperture/Shutter priority modes, full-manual and even programmed ’scene’ modes. Can take Compact Flash and xD memory cards, so space isn’t an issue. There’s a whole bunch of custom lenses, optics, flashes and other accessories for it. It can become a money sink pretty damn fast.

Zuiko Digital 14-42mm lens

The one I got was a Body + Lens combo, so it came with a Zuiko Digital ‘four thirds’ lens (14-42mm). The auction also included an extra battery in the deal too, so overall it was a steal compared to what you’d pay for one normally. I got all that for the price of the body only basically, you gotta love ebay sometimes.

So far the pictures it has taken, even in full-auto ‘SHQ’ mode, are amazing. Using aperture priority mode with RAW, oh man just forget it. Amazing quality, even if you aren’t a professional. You don’t need to be a photographic genius to take good photos with this.

The lens it came with is great too, using around f8 gets the sharpest photos out of it. It can zoom up to approximately 3x and go to a very wide angle as well. The ‘four thirds’ lenses are a bit different in that they aren’t based on 35mm standard, so 14mm on this lens is about the equal of 28mm on a normal 35mm standard lens. In my uneducated testing, the 25mm mark is about equal to 35mm and 35mm is about equal to 50mm (don’t take my word as perfect though, I’m probably off a bit).

One thing that is still holding me in awe, is the overall speed of the camera. It takes barely a second to turn on, automatic focusing in ideal conditions (good light) is nearly instant, writing speed (to slow xD cards) is even bearable. The focus is much more tedious inside when it is dark and using the flash. The flash will pop up and sprinkle light onto the area to try to focus, and sometimes it just takes awhile. Manual focus indoors might be a better option.

The only thing is it is obviously large and isn’t going to fit this in your pocket, unless you’re still sporting some of the baggiest pants on earth. So it is going to make a great companion to my existing SP-310 which I’ll have no trouble taking anywhere due to size. My 310 will also continue to be my macro shooter, I’m amazed at that cameras ability to do macro shots. I’m sure with a macro lens, this E-510 could take amazing macros as well.

I would recommend this lens to anyone looking for a near professional-grade DSLR but don’t want to fork out $2500+ for one. You can get this for about $550 with body + lens + battery. If you ask me it is an excellent deal. It has amazing reviews around the block and comes highly recommended everywhere I look.

I’ll have a bunch of photos posted tomorrow that I took with it to show off what it can do.

I also in no way see this camera as an extension of my body, no matter how bad it looks.

Lens Extended

Here is the first photo, it is from 2003:

And now in 2008:

Well, not much has changed in five years with him in these two shots. He did manage to tilt his head the other way however.

Here is another, this time from 2004:

and again in 2008:

He somehow managed to slide into the corner through means that obviously took awhile. Also, he managed to flip over to evenly rest both sides of his body.

Throughout the years he has explored his nekkidness in various positions. It is assumed that he has not decided on a favorite position yet.

Enjoy the photos.

• Is it ok for a woman to masturbate in public? I have the feeling most guys would say Yes to this one. I’d probably start laughing if I ever saw someone doing that.
  
• When do dear start turning into elk????? First off it’s ‘deer’, and as far as I know ‘deer’ don’t turn into elk (lol wth?)
  
• Is there a way to make my nipples the same size? I didn’t know this was a problem with some women. I guess there is a lesson to be learned here: don’t play with just one nipple. Rotate.
  
• Is it alright to go out with your 5th cousin? Is this a redneck joke?
  
• Why do some spiders lay their eggs under your skin, but geese do not? Am I missing something here?

There were a few more I wanted to add but they were deleted. Wish I could remember what they were about. *L* I think one was about leaving notes to fairies (haha). Weird people.
