Every Kind of Fish

If you have ever played Animal Crossing for the Nintendo Gamecube, then you know what I'm talking about. You understand the excitement. The anticipation. And most of all...you know how annoying it can be to try and find all those fish that come at different times of the year. And some of them only come around for a short period of time during certain parts of the year. Yeah this was the second time I had caught every kind of fish, the first time I didn't think about taking a picture of it. But this time I remembered, and I'm glad I am able to share this. I know I may sound silly writing about this on my blog. But if you've ever played this game then you understand. There's also a special surprise for catching every kind of fish too.

Bug's Eye View

I've experimented with this view in times past; this certainly is not the kind of angle that is the easiest to do, but you can come up with some really cool results if you do it just right. I thought this one turned out pretty good, considering my low level of experience with this.

One Bad Frog

Something you may not hear about everyday. This frog was given to me by a friend a long time ago. Honestly this frog holds some sentimental value; basically cause we used to say "That's one bad frog!" whilst having a few choice beverages that weren't exactly good for us.

Sure. It's just your average soap dish frog, but when something you've had this long (cough twenty years) it kinda grows on you. It's been twenty years since I had last seen my friend, and I hope he's doing well. As for the frog it's hard to believe I've had something like this for as long as I have had it. Oh by the way, I think the eyeballs were drawn onto it lol.

Beautiful Sky

This pic was taken on my old phone. The view was really awesome that day, and I decided to seize the opportunity to capture it. I like the way the rays seem to come bursting out of the clouds the sun is surrounded in. When I get a good camera I'm going to capture more of these, and hopefully find some that are print worthy.

Snow Ice Cream 2011

Snow has always been a favorite past time for me. Honestly there's no desert that is as unique to me as snow ice cream. I thought this years batch turned out pretty good. Maybe even better than the last time I had some which was a couple of years ago or so.

This picture almost looks like a painting. That's because it was taken inside my car while it was snowing outside. This is actually a Wal-Mart parking lot to be exact. Driving home from work was an adventure and a half.

Ronald Reagan Task Force Medal

It's not everyday someone asks me to sell something for them on ebay. A former co-worker of mine told me about a task force medal that he found at a flea market if my memory serves me correctly. We got together after work out in the parking lot, he brought the medal out to me, and handed me a sheet of a similar looking one that had sold on another auction website. I'll admit I was excited at first...that was until I looked the item up on ebay.

I'm not 100% sure whether or not the medal was counterfeit. One thing was for sure; there were different kinds of finish on the ones that were listed on ebay. One kind of resembled the one he had given me to sell, but then there were some that, well, just looked more genuine.

This one stood out and looked less genuine in my opinion. I mean it looked as if someone had gone over the coin with some spray paint. Because the coin still had a hefty weight, but it didn't look like the real deal. And another thing is, these medals aren't selling like hotcakes either. And my biggest concern with this sell was that I would actually be losing money instead of making it. We were going to go 50/50 on the profits, but judging from the looks of things there more than likely wouldn't have been a profit. So I ended up giving the medal back to him. But, yeah, I still wonder if it was a real medal or not. And to actually hold something in my hand that had such historical value was definitely exciting to me.

Green Looks Better

During this time of the year nature seems to dress itself even more beautifully than ever. I always enjoy the wonderful forest view that surrounds me here. There's so many wonderful sites in the natural state. This was taken where I live. I thought the pic turned out okay for a cell phone pic (that has only a 2 mega pixel camera in it I might add) I'd say. When I get some extra time I plan on taking more detailed pics of the forest. Maybe capture a few streams as well.
