Random Thoughts of the Day

Hot pockets aren't really pockets until you bite them.

The United states is pretty much the only nation that doesn't use the Metric system.

Stare at someone walking and hum a dorky tune in your head. It's funny

US Public School have considered cutting out learning to write in cursive. Where is our culture going!?

Why does coffee have such weird names?

Rain acidity is on the rise and very high recently. POLLUTION HURTS!!

Who DID let the cat out of the bag?

Spilling the beans... who even thought of that?

Why do we yawn?

If those cleaners kill 99.9% of BACTERIA, then why do they recommend them for preventing VIRUSES?

Why is it called dinner?


There is more to come later on in the week! So until then... KEEP IT RANDOM

Random Thoughts of the Day

Sorry about the inactivity recently. I'll try to pick the pace back up. So here are some of my Random Thoughts for today.

Some cats not only purr when they're happy to see you, but also when they are in a lot of pain.

Tomatoes are fruits not vegetables.

There was recently the longest ever recorded solar eclipse. It was sadly only visible on the other side of the world, and not visible from the united states.

I need a haircut.

What's up with nicknames? Are people really that unsatisfied with other people's names?

Floppy disks should actually be floppy.

I would not be surprised to find out that someone actually tried to eat a computer "chip".

Lost socks and other laundry... Where DO they go?

The "Mustang" is a horse, a car, and an airplane.

That's all for now. But until later. KEEP IT RANDOM

My GIMP Creations.

I have recently downloaded GIMP(GNU image manipulation program), and have been dabbling in photo manipulation. These are some of my "GIMP Creations"

I changed the color of the bubble on this photograph. Credit for the picture goes to the artist that took it.

In this photo, I made it so it looked as if the Death star was in orbit above San Fransisco.

This was actually the first image I had ever edited. I am quite proud of it. I changed the color of the eye, added shadow around it, and outlined the eyelashes in purple.

In this Photo, I edited all the lightsabers in the picture so that they look like REAL lightsabers!

In this particular picture, I decided to try and make it look like these two men had tattoos.

And that is about it, I have more edited pictures, but these are the ones I like the best. Credit for the pictures goes to their respective photographers.

At this time i would like to give a special thanks to Youtube, and specifically(mostly anyway) the user Gimpknowhow. Without those video tutorials, almost none of these edited pictures would have been possible.

That's all for now. So until later... KEEP IT RANDOM!

Some People have too much Talent AND too much Time on their hands

I was wandering Youtube aimlessly yesterday, when I found this AMAZING Speed Painting of your Favorite Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman! It shows the amazing artist "Painting" the image in in fast forward (Using Photoshop I believe) on the video, but I'm sure that it ACTUALLY took the Artist several HOURS. Now THAT'S Patience, and determination.

Once I was captivated by this "painting" I couldn't help but watch all of his others. Whoever this guy is has WAY to much talent, and WAY too much time on his hands. Pretty much all of his "Paintings" could be Mistaken for the real thing! And that's saying something!

And for those of you interested in photoshop and Picture editing: There is a FREE Program you can download. It is called GIMP and is, in many people's opinions, COMPARABLE to Photoshop! You can download this amazing software here: http://www.gimp.org/.

That's all for now. So until later..... KEEP IT RANDOM

Smart Little Squirrel!

This has to be the MOST AWESOME squirrel I have ever seen! I do have to say though, that ice cream and the cone probably isn't too good for its digestive system!

This was either a VERY brave squirrel, or it knew it could get food from humans because it had done it before. Who knows? Either way that's going to be one fat squirrel! I'm just surprised the squirrel didn't run away with all the squealing and cooing the girl taking the video did! Where I live, if you even break a twig or breathe too loud near a squirrel, it's going to run away!

Well until next time, KEEP IT RANDOM!


PS: I apologize for the video sticking out on the right side, I tried to fix it, but it didn't work. Maybe it only looks like that on my computer. I hope so, but if not. I apologize.

Happy Birthday America!!!

Happy Fourth of July everybody! Now go blow stuff up (fireworks) legally...

But remember that sometimes your own fireworks can suck, so maybe it could be best to watch a professional display!

And don't forget!

Fourth of July is coming....

The 4th of July, also known as "Blow stuff up Legally Day" or more commonly "Independence Day" is tomorrow. It seems like everyone I know is going to be blowing stuff up, except me! I live in the city so if I wanted to go blow up stuff and make pretty lights legally I have to go all the way out the country.

What a hassle.

Who needs to Blow stuff up to celebrate our countries birth!? Who thought of that anyway? "Hey! lets celebrate the MAKING of our country by shooting off and DESTROYING colorful rockets!". Sounds fun.... Ok, Who am I kidding, IT IS FUN! Not to mention all the planning and calculating that goes into making professional Fireworks Displays. If they're even ONE second off, then the whole dispaly is ruined.

A lot more goes into making fireworks then you might think. Timed explosions, correct height. They even use different types of metals and other substances to make the different colors! One example is that Copper is used to make a green explosion. Some of the more complicated displays even use a computer to precisely shoot off each rocket so it is "in sync" with music that is playing.

Probably my favorite part of the 4th of July is the Twilight Zone marathon. Two or three days strait of the classic Twilight Zone! Maybe I'm just weird for liking that old TV show, or maybe not. I'm not really sure if anyone else I know, besides relatives, also watches the marathon each year.

It doesn't matter though, everyone knows what the REAL best part of the 4th of July is. Of course! its BLOWING STUFF UP! Not literally of course, you can only blow up fireworks, DUH.




I am not responsible for any unfortunate "blow ups" of anyone, anything, or any person's property. I do not advocate exploding just anything, so remember, Just explode the fireworks, and SAFETY FIRST!
