Lacking street creds

My parents came to visit Roseburg. (these are my parents, hi parents)

They came up under very mysterious pretenses.

It turns out they got me a car!

My new car is a futuristic station wagon. Also known as; a 2008 Pontiac Vibe.

It is awesome and from the future. It has a sensor on it that turns the head lights on when it gets dark. And, it gets 30 miles to the gallon.

The question is: do I still have street creds if I don't drive a car that is 20 years old, has no paint, reminds you of your grandparents and is perpetually breaking down, oh, and it has a funny smell?

At a book store I found this dictionary of hipster slang throughout the ages, I kind of wish I had it so I can start reviving slang that has no referents in contemporary culture.

I met Lucy near her school for coffee. Lucy is training to be a speech pathologist. (Note: this picture was taken on a previous occasion, Oregon is NOT sunny or warm at the moment.)

I met Mary and Rachel for more coffee. They were debating whether or not they would participate in avant-garde Christmas caroling. Mary decided she would, Rachel decided she wouldn't (maybe if they were Hanukkah carols, as Rachel is one of god's chosen people). (Note: Rachel is not in this picture, I couldn't find the picture with her and Mary together.)

While we were outside checking out my future car, we ran into Elaina, well wasn't that a coincidence.

This is a bunny in a sack.

Said bunny in sack; ended up "bunny and jewels on heart shaped belt buckle".

At the store where I bought the bunny, I saw a meth addict steal a shirt. I didn't rat her out. Whenever I'm in a difficult moral dilemma like that, I just try and remember the first rule of the school yard; kid who tells on another kid; is a dead kid. It also reminds me of that movie Over the Edge with Matt Dillon

Mixed messages

Some, apparently, angry teenagers vandalized this fence, off of the bike path, on this bridge, that runs under the freeway.

I wonder what prompted this youth gang to hit such a high profile spot.

Maybe they were trying to send a message to the hobos and joggers traveling through the park.

Maybe that message was; "Hey Roseburg, I'm wearing girl jeans and I'm mad as hell!"

Keeping on track

For some reason; I decided I should write numbers on the backs of all the awsomecams'.

Maybe so I wouldn't be confused?

It IS proving quite helpful.

This is number 2. By the way.

This is the before mentioned 15 dollar white awsome cam.

They actually had two versions. One was gray, one was white, one of them had less packaging , they both cost $15.

This was a pumpkin flavored beer I got in Eugene. I have the same response to pumpkin flavored products as I do with inappropriately spicy products; I will try them even if common sense would suggest otherwise. Regardless of all that; this was a very tasty pumpkin beer. Maybe the best pumpkin beer.

This is either a picture of spooky fog or the deadly corner I live on.

This would suggest; "spooky corner".

I hear that "car bras" are really in this season.

My Awesome Camera Belt

All of my recent photos are of and about belt buckles. I blame this partially on rechargeable batteries. I am skipping over several posts involving "the making of" belt buckles. This post does involve belt buckles, but I'll try and tone it down in the future.

I got 40 belt buckles in the mail the other day.

My plan is to wear a different buckle every day.

I don't quite have enough stuff to attach to the various belts.

I'm sure I'll think of something.

I don't have a hand mirror, so this is how I look inside my nose. The long delay makes things a little difficult though.

I took apart Awsomecam III, with the intent to attach it to a belt buckle.

I wont go so far to say the project was a failure.

Just not quite as successful as I had hoped.

I'm sure it'll work out in the end.

Lindsey got me a new awsomecam (that will be number 6) while she was in Portland.

A few days later I saw that they are now selling asomecams at Rite Aide. The ones at Rite Aide are $15 though. But, they have a white one. I'm thinking I will try and return the one Lindsey got for me back to Rite Aide in exchange for a white one. It might work...

Awsomecams really do ripen with age.

obviously.

Wow, maybe I can take a picture

I have started my online business. gheetro.etsy.com

I hope to sell all of the buckles I have made, so I can make some more.

And then I will be rich.

You should probably buy a belt buckle.

You know to help me get rich.

Anyway, you should go tell your friends and family to buy these awesome belt buckles at gheetro.etsy.com.

Fo' shizzle.
