little fishiesssss.......

ALRIGHT..so i know, i know. it's been a while- a long while. My bad! it's just because i have nothing interesting to blog about. my life is prettyyyy  mediocre. and i'm not the type to just blog about everyday life, like nanny nanny boo boo look at my awesome life. that would be false advertisement.


BUT I FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING WORTH BLOGGING ABOUT!
...Let me introduce you guys to something amazing, exquisite, chic, extraordinary... 




The Lomography Fisheye No. 2 
White Knight Edition 

Exert from the website: 

The world's greatest compact Fisheye camera is back in white! Like its brother the regular Fisheye No.2, the fete blanche of Fisheye photography comes with an incredible 180-degree wide-angle view, stunning fisheye barrel distortion, a bulb setting for long exposures and a switch for multiple exposures on the same frame. The White Fisheye has the ability to fire both a hot shoe flash and the built-in flash, as well as sporting a true fisheye viewfinder, and the "full metal jacket" body treatment. With this arsenal, the possibilities for your Fisheye lomography are endless! Uses normal 35mm film that can be developed anywhere.
Features-180 degree fisheye lens
- On-camera flash
- Hot shoe mount for external flash
- Multiple-expose switch for easy double-exposed images
- "Bulb" setting for long exposures
- "Lock" setting so the shutter won't fire in your bag
- Flex lens cap and strap
- Poster, "Fisheye View" mini photo book, and instruction manual
Camera TypeFisheye, Point & Shoot
Film Type35mm







I mean, if we're being honest here, I could go on and on and on. But i won't. I'll control myself. I feel sorry for you if you ever catch me in person with the fisheye in my hand. ;)
So long story short, here's the first batch of pictures i've taken with the little gem!






^^^My favorite. :)


Annnnnnnnnnnd i'm out.

Back in Business.

I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN!


I KNEW i would forget about my blog. Well, it happened.

MYYYYYY BADDDDD!


...anyways....

I'm not really sure what to blog about today, as of yet.

So i'm going to go eat breakfast [at 2:11 in the PM] and get back to you.


-----------------------------------------------------------

Alright. 3:25 PM. We're back in business.

-----------------------------------------------------------


So i don't know about you guys, but EVERY single time i go into Walmart, i come out scarred for life. The craziest people go there, seriously. Half of the people in there are on drugs, or at least look like they are.

DON'T GET ME WRONG; i admit i shop there, and there is nothing wrong with shopping there! They have great deals and i love saving myself some dolla dolla$$bills.
BUT YOU HAVE TO KNOW, AND BE AWARE THAT EVERYTIME YOU GO IN THERE YOU ARE TAKING THE CHANCE OF SEEING/BEING AROUND CRAZY TWACKED OUT PEOPLE!


I think they built the Walmart in my city in 1999? Maybe 2000? But i've been noticing the type of people in there since then! It's like all the crazies flock there.

ANYWAYS.....so i guess somebody noticed this trend as well! and that is how


was born.


And let me just tell you; I am LOVIN it.

This website is a gallery/collection of pictures that people take of crazies or bizarre things they see at their local Walmart. You can take pictures and send them in to the website and they write funny comments about them at the bottom, and write where the picture was taken at. THIS IS GOOD STUFF PEOPLE!


So i've decided to just give you guys a little preview of what madness is going on over at peopleofwalmart.com...ALL OF THEM BEING FROM CALIFORNIA!


But be warned first;
SOME OF THESE PICTURES MAY DISTURB YOU AND ARE NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED. LET IT BE KNOWN THAT YOU ARE AT RISK OF BEING SCARRED FOR LIFE!

"Dear young females out there, remember when your parents said you would regret that lower back tattoo because it won’t look sexy when you get older; this is what they meant."


"If you’re going to wear a nice summer skirt like this, don’t ruin it with those boots mister, because that is just wrong!"

-----------------------------------------------------
........and here's some of the best ones on the site.


YUMMMMMMMM

"The only thing this dude is missing is a bedazzled jean jacket to match his purdy pink sparkly belt."

"I think that triangle is a scratch-n-sniff. Go on, try it."

"So she lives in Barbie’s Dream House, uses an Easy Bake Oven and drives around in her Power Wheel; You grew up, have a miserable job and pay taxes. Who’s the goofy one?"


...and from UTAH:

"With an outfit that would make Carrot Top blush at the magnitude of useless trinkets, you would figure he would finish it off with the proper footwear….plain white kicks? C’mon buddy, get out of the minor leagues will ya."


-------------------------------------------------------------

ALRIGHT! enough with the walmart nonsense. you'll have to go check it out for yourself.

but remember..curiosity killed the cat.

Top 5 Mellow Music Mash-up Review

One thing that is a MUST for me since i've been driving[it's been about 2 years now] is while coming home from school, or a stressful day, i turn on my MP3 player and listen to the most mellow music i have on there.

There's nothing worse than having a super busy or stressful day and turning on the radio and hearing obnoxious new-wave pop rock like Paramore or Boys Like Girls (not to throw them under the bus..sorry. ....actually i'm not sorry at all.) or something like that. I don't know about you, but i just want to chill out and relax and get home safe without a pounding headache.

So for this post, i thought i'd tell you all some of my favorites to jam out to on the way home, and share a little bit about them.

What should have been my first post...

So, my first post was kind of me just forcing myself to write it...but it actually came out really funny I thought. Maybe that's just me...anyways..


I guess i should introduce myself, and give a little background about myself.
I'm Veronica aka Veerow(my alter ego..not really, just a nick name that has stuck since 8th grade.)I'm 18 years of age, and i currently reside in Southern California where i was born & raised. The sun is out and the waves are big.






Having graduated in June 2009, i'm now attending community college locally and am liking it so far. (much better than high school)





Music has always been a huge part of my life. Although i don't play any instruments (300 bucks down the drain from useless guitar lessons when i was 9), and it sounds like cats are dying when i sing, i am a huge supporter of local bands, and love to go to concerts/shows of all kinds. My radio/mp3/cd player are constantly on in my car, and Pandora Radio is always streaming from my laptop. I like a huge array of genre's but my favorites[there are many of them] have to be classic rock, indie, folk, alternative, punk, ska, and surf.















I'd also like to think i'm pretty crafty; i crochet, love photography, make jewelry, and draw really creepy faces on my math notes.



Hmmmm, what else? I guess another big part of my life is the outdoors..i LOVE camping, hiking, going to the beach, and riding my bike wherever it takes me. It's awesome seeing the beauty of the world. I just basically love going on adventures, driving around, going wherever the roads take me in southern California. Next on my list? explore Northern California.


Let's just hope i don't come back saying "hella."

i took that picture by the way.





Another huge part of my life is my membership in the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It has not only blessed my life in many ways, but it has kept me in line and on a good path for many years, and i'm truly grateful for that. I don't know where i'd be without the gospel, and I love my Heavenly Father, and his son, my brotha from anotha motha, and my savior Jesus Christ.







Basically, in a nutshell, I just life to have fun. I like to enjoy life. I LOVE to laugh. I like to make jokes, even if they aren't funny to other people. But I amuse myself, and all that matters!


In all mediocracy,

- Veerow
