Excerpt from some random bro-ho's Facebook page

“I’m here to chew bubble gum and kick ass…and I’m all out of bubble gum”

If you’re going to quote a game you probably know nothing about, quote it correctly. Jeezus christ.

11 Foods You Should be Eating but Aren't

rocketboom:

Some of these are a little odd, but according to the NY Times you should be eating these:

  1. Beets: Think of beets as red spinach, Dr. Bowden said, because they are a rich source of folate as well as natural red pigments that may be cancer fighters.
    How to eat: Fresh, raw and grated to make a salad. Heating decreases the antioxidant power.
  2. Cabbage: Loaded with nutrients like sulforaphane, a chemical said to boost cancer-fighting enzymes.
    How to eat: Asian-style slaw or as a crunchy topping on burgers and sandwiches.
  3. Swiss chard: A leafy green vegetable packed with carotenoids that protect aging eyes.
    How to eat it: Chop and saute in olive oil.
  4. Cinnamon: May help control blood sugar and cholesterol.
    How to eat it: Sprinkle on coffee or oatmeal.
  5. Pomegranate juice: Appears to lower blood pressure and loaded with antioxidants.
    How to eat: Just drink it.
  6. Dried plums: Okay, so they are really prunes, but they are packed with antioxidants.
    How to eat: Wrapped in prosciutto and baked.
  7. Pumpkin seeds: The most nutritious part of the pumpkin and packed with magnesium; high levels of the mineral are associated with lower risk for early death.
    How to eat: Roasted as a snack, or sprinkled on salad.
  8. Sardines: Dr. Bowden calls them “health food in a can.’’ They are high in omega-3’s, contain virtually no mercury and are loaded with calcium. They also contain iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese as well as a full complement of B vitamins.
    How to eat: Choose sardines packed in olive or sardine oil. Eat plain, mixed with salad, on toast, or mashed with dijon mustard and onions as a spread.
  9. Turmeric: The “superstar of spices,’’ it may have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
    How to eat: Mix with scrambled eggs or in any vegetable dish.
  10. Frozen blueberries: Even though freezing can degrade some of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables, frozen blueberries are available year-round and don’t spoil; associated with better memory in animal studies.
    How to eat: Blended with yogurt or chocolate soy milk and sprinkled with crushed almonds.
  11. Canned pumpkin: A low-calorie vegetable that is high in fiber and immune-stimulating vitamin A; fills you up on very few calories.
    How to eat: Mix with a little butter, cinnamon and nutmeg.

I’m making a post.

That is all.

I have found nothing worthwhile to shoot. Nothing. I’ve found myself sifting through peoples’ photos, being envious about the locations in which they live.

I think the most important thing that I have learned as a photographer is to not try and limit oneself to a particular style. Every photographer is on a never-ending journey to find their niche—their style. It’s necessary (for me, at least) to try a bunch of things out before settling in to something. I spent my “early” years doing landscapes and whatnot; basically, any camping trip I went on I would bring my camera. And not use it for anything else. I discovered street photography (as well as other forms which I plan to try as I get the means) this past year, and my mind opened up to a bunch of other things. This summer I’m trying to get a studio position in Hemet, shooting portraits. Though I’m not really a huge fan of posed portraiture, but who knows? Maybe I’ll find myself to be decent at it.

Visit the actual Tumblog to see the above Flash thing.

Another fruitful night of street photography! I wish I had known to take my camera downtown at night on weekends earlier.

I’m making a valiant attempt to get over this dry spell; I’m a little more satisfied with today’s work.

This is what I get for going to bed at 10.

Waking up at 5 o’clock sucks.
