How to get more people to read your blog

Hello Friends:

This blog post will bring good luck, but only if you pass it on. Lots of people have already done this and subsequently had successful blogs! All you have to do is follow the instructions below.

First: make a blog post called "How to get more people to read your blog"
Second: Copy and paste these instructions as the content.
Third: Pass the link on to 25 people

And that's it. Oh, I forgot to mention: IF you don't pass it on, something very terribly might happen. One guy didn't pass it on and his blog got black listed from Google. Now make a wish!
.
.

Are you thinking of it?
.
.
.
It will come true if you pass this on to 80 friends instead of just 25!
.
.
and you will find true love and become rich!

HAHAHA

I was working on some Corporate Headshots here in Santa Barbara, and after hiding some layers accidentally I saw this and thought it was pretty cool.

How I got a new phone for $10 without renewing my AT&T contract

Alright, here is the deal: My wife and I bought ATT phones with a 2 year agreement, 2 years ago. Sadly, my phone recently died. I didn't want to sign up for another 2 years, and of course I didn't want to buy a new phone at full price. So... What did I do?

I went into my local Radio Shack (none of those lines typical at AT&T stores) and told them that I'd like to buy a prepaid AT&T phone as a gift for a friend. This way they didn't ask me if I wanted to buy any phone cards for it. I paid $10 for a new phone - opened it up, put my old sim card into it and continued on my old plan as if nothing ever happened. That's not all:

As a bonus, they include a sim card. Now if you have ever had to buy a sim card to replace your old one, you know that they cost $25. So, what you do is you keep this one (even though it is currently set up to be a 'pay as you go' sim card) and if you ever lose your sim/phone they can activate that one with whatever plan you desire.

How did I learn this? A very very kind hearted employee gave me the run down a few days back.

booya!

Sorry I've been sucking at this blog. I have so many photos that I want to put up. Since I've stopped using Picasa, it is a bit more of a pain in the ass to upload on here. Okay... so it's not that hard.

alright alright - I'll post some photos. Actually, what I'll start doing is back logging photos, so it will seem that I've been keeping up with them all along. NICE

Congrats to Keegan + Life Discovery

my old room mate and good friend Keegan is getting married! Booya!

I took some photos while I was there, and had a friend take this one of Keegan and I. Look closely.



Looking at this photo, you know what I noticed for the first time in my life? I am a big guy. I mean, I always knew I was tall, but I had no idea how tall really. Keegan is a giant in my mind - and this picture really tripped me out. I consider my reaction to this photo a life discovery

fricking hilarious

Political Commentary through photos

I was on a walk with my wife talking about the current political situation, and I snapped these photos. Instead of talking about what I thought they could mean, I thought it would be cooler if anyone looking at this could give an interpretation. All opinions are welcomed.

went to the beach

After work last Saturday, Cheri and I went to check out the U.S.S. Reagan. Once again, I only had the fisheye, but I got some decent photos - the light was beautiful!





































this last one represents santa barbara to me big time.

another day at ucsb

High noon is supposed to be the worst light. But armed with only a fisheye lens and a few minutes between classes, I though I'd see if I could get anything worth while.







I think with some post production, they might stand a chance! haha..
