one of my favourite retarded customers once asked me why dont we arrange the music by insrtument instead of by alphabet and in categorize such as pop rock , country etc. and along the same lines i once had a customer ask why arent the movies arranged by actor instead of being in categorizes like drama i fucking hate people

Haha, why don't you recomend them wolf eyes?

Yeah, I once had a customer tell me if we can cut his cheesecake, I told him we don't do that. He got all pissy about it, and said how was he going to cut it. I laughed.

sounds like a nabokov novel. independent stores are great but they are threatened by the internet in a big way.

i doubt we carry it you know what really pisses me off about my store is the fact we have every single lindsey lohan and hillary duff cd but we only have sonic nurse and rather ripped and those two i had to have special ordered into the store so we could carry them you'd figure at a bookstore we'd get more intellectual people who are into sy rather than teeny bopper shite

yeaa but these stores see to do pretty well and theyre cds are alot cheaper than b and n even with my employee discount this store called stinkweeds is still wicked cheaper

Well since tower is out of bussiness B&N and borders are the only music selection there is.

borders has a much better music selection i actually had to choose between working at borders or b and n i choose b and n cuz its like a 10-15minute walk from my house

I am within 3 minutes away from my job.

thats sweet i like working close in case the piece o shit car breaks down and i have to walk but its still a bitch whenits 115 out

???

i would faint riding a bicycle in 115 degree weather im pale pale as milk i wasnt meant to be in the desert. i feel bad for the mormons who wear dress shirts and ties and pants and go riding aorund on bikes trying to convert people

man i just took my sleeping pills i hope i dont have the freaky dreams i have when i take them its fucking weird

???

:D

fuck cowboys!!!

brokeback style??

i didnt mean literally i hate people in arizona who think that they are cowboy for the simple fact that they wear ten gallon hats and drive elevated pick up trucks cuz they have small penis'

the other day a walking cliche came into my work i just started laughing so hard people thought i was crazy it was this guy with an american flag that was made into a button down shirt and he was wearing a cowboy hate and he comes into music and asks me "where's y'alls country music?"

holy ass. that can't be real. it's the stuff of nighmares.

yea it was insane at first i thought i was tripping but he was real. the best was the other day im riding the bus with my friend james and i guess in phx we kinda give off a gay vibe even though hes married and im straight but i guess its the art thing any way this guy probably 24 or 25 comes up to us and says "so what are y'all fags doing on the bus?" and i looked him square in the eye gave him my crazy smile and said we are on the way to fuck your father he was fucking freaked out i love freaking cowboys out it so easy

ha ha ha, great story, had to come back to say & give rep.

ps-- goddamn i gave you a shitload of points. you went from 1 green box to 9.

with great power comes great responsibility!

ok, i gotta go...

yeah, this really was a great story.

something similar happened to me when I was working in Baltimore in a gas station. once, the store was completely empty, there was just me, my friend from the same country as I'm from and some random long-haired motorcycle guy (long hair, bad teeth, leather jacket, IQ 67). So we kept talking to each other with the friend silently behind the counter and we realized the guy was staring at us with a bad face. Then he came to the counter, said "Speak English, this is AMERICA!!" and left.

oh well.

i just discovered that my name is supose to be ANAL ALIEN not ALIEN ANAL

Well, today was a lot better. I got to college only 2 hours late which wasn't a problem. At lunch i went to this baguette bar and had the nicest baguette ever! Then my friend Alec drove me to a park to photograph my friend Natasha. It worked out really well. Now i'm home and probably going to the cinema later because it's an orange wednesday!
Tomorrow i am doing another shoot this time using a medium format camera (scary!). But hopefully it should work out.

This is probably the most successful thread i have ever started! weird.

medium format cameras are sweet

yeah, the college staff are pretty over protective of them though!!, this is the first time they have ever let someone take one out of the building!, great photographs, great responsibility.

you're going to love it. what model is it?

I have no idea?, ive only ever used it twice and that was last year, the college has two medium format cameras and one massive plate camera. Both of which work perfectly, but they are very very protective over them. i will tell you tomorrow after i have used it and found out what model it is, and hopefully not dropped it. :eek:

be careful, but don't let fear detract from your enjoyment, otherwise what's the point?

a friend of mine has this baby...

oh, pretty! i once saw an art-deco medium format camera on ebay and it was beautiful. like £70.00 though.

that's a very decent price, provided it's in good condition, i think...

you never know with ebay, it was lovely, b=just not hugely practical for me to be taking on at the time, Now i would get a lot more out of it. I'm pretty much a purest now. Fuck digital!

im afraid i couldnt support a film habit. i tried black & while for a while but i lacked the training & burned a lot of film, plus i paid for the development, which skyrocketed. so i got a digital now & the glass is so nice i really enjoy it. shame on me i guess? ha. but no, really.

i may pick it up again if i rent a studio.

i'm lucky, i can get film and develop everything at college for free. So i can afford to support a film habit, he he. I'm just sick of how everything looks with a digital camera, any one can do it. It's just pointing and clicking, anything you fuck up can be edited out and cropped so that you images look amazing. Where as using and taking photographs with a film camera has to be learnt. If you make a mistake, there aren't so many ways to hide it.

yes but that frees a good photographer to put more emphasis on the subject & the composition, which is where you can tell good from shitty.

lemme dig up something & see what i mean.

exactly.

just a heads-up, i think ilford makes the best film.

crap, it's in a different machine...

yeah they do, by far!

i like ilford BW films.
But I love digital photography too. A good picture is not an image with no evident mistakes/without imperfections, I don't give a fu*k if a picture I like has been taken with a digital camera or not.

have you ever studied photography?
