Just Had To Step Outside.

Here I was sitting on my computer playing around with my Nokia 6101, trying to take a recent photo of myself that I can put onto profile... when I looked outside and saw nothing but a strange haze. I stopped what I was doing to check it out more, crawling over my bed and squinting to see the best I can. Tiny mist like snow was flowing and dancing around with the wind. I had to go check it out, so I grabbed my bela clava put it on, put on my coat and shoes and stepped onto the porch.

It was an erie silence that was outside, I mostly looked at the road and the street lamps. It was a like a fog because in the distance all that could be seen was the orange glow from the street lamps. The wind picks up once in a while, and the tiny snow pellets covered my jeans quickly. Legs were getting cold fast. Scott and Cedric, man, feel sorry for them cause they have to work tonight... hope they get home ok. I took a small video with my cell phone but it really can't do it justice. I went back inside with a small feeling of anxious.

I had a problem with image hosting, I originally used Hello.exe but the problem with that program is it would hang whenever I tried to upload photos. And it's weird, I have no idea how to access these photos... so I can't delete the ones I don't want to use anymore. So it had to go. I deleted it, and I'll delete my username too. So I went to Google.com to check to see where I can get some image hosting. I finally stumbled upon Zoto and it's been smooth sailing from there. We'll see how it goes in the long run.

So what did I need the image hosting for? Well you may have noticed that the splash title is changed... and my profile picture too. I hope you like it, it took like four of five different concept designs before I made one I liked. The process I go through is searching my database of digital photos I've taken, then I put them in Adobe Photoshop, adjust the curve balance, put text on them, and finally save them for web as a .jpg file. And I'll keep doing this until I'm satisfied with a design.

My last post kinda boasted about another blog out there, so I had to change my site, cause my site looked like crap compared to that one. I know the Seasame terror alert level was a huge hit. I think it's kinda funny too. I think it will be stuck on Bert for a long while though, you might see it hit orange though, that will be really interesting. You'll never see it red, blue or green though... cause red would mean the USA's CIA, FBI... CTU or whatever fucked up, and that won't happen... and blue and green would mean that there won't be any terrorist threats... and it would show that the USA is slacking. So I guess it's funny that we would be more concerned with a green level than a yellow. Also added some stuff from Google Adsense. I had it as those boxes with text in it, but I wasn't really feeling that, so I changed to an image only banner and it has some pretty cool stuff. What's up with that 3d IM chat? Go to that website and check it out, looks kinda cool. Also added in some other links to some fav online comics. So it's all good for now, maybe I'll add some other stuff down the road. We'll see.

Well anyways, got to pack up the computer, so my next update will be from the dirty shwa. Can't wait to see you all. Peace.
