Shutterbug

I'm the most obnoxious man on the planet with a camera. Everybody hates me at parties and events. Two cases in point: there are new pictures in my pics section, one of K-Mack's 30th birthday, and one of B*s 30th birthday. B* hates it when I take pictures so much that he has been known to pour a drink into my lap if I even dare to point the camera in his direction. So on his birthday I only took 6 pictures, fearing a wet crotch. On the opposite side of the spectrum is K-Mack's birthday. I took hundreds of pictures, and if you look at the gallery, you will see how by the end of the evening everyone is either giving me dirty looks, blocking my shot with their hand, or reaching for my camera just to make it stop. But at least no one poured a drink in my lap. Plus I was wearing a really cool shirt that night. So in the end, all pics are fun.

I spent a good portion of the Memorial Day Weekend organizing my digital pics, so I moved all the Kickball pics off of the pics page, because there is a new centralized location for anyone who cares about my kickball games: greasycooters.com.

Going out with Dan is like going out with the paparazzi. SNAP! FLASH! FLASH! SNAP! It's like one photo isn't enough and it ruins the evening because everyone is trying to have a conversation except Dan because he is running around from all angles like an annoying bug with a digital camera.

I wouldn't mind the picture taking if you wouldn't deliberately take such horrible photos of everyone. You know it's true - you don't know how to take flattering photos of people. It's like you wait for people's eyes to look lazy or for faces to contort into a weird shape, then SNAP! I guess it's not your fault 'cause you didn't go to MCAD and you didn't get an A+ in Photo 101, so I shouldn't be all that mad.

I'm sure you realized it already, but K-Mack is one photgenic babe. Those eyes!!! Sheesh, if I spent and entire evening with those sultry, sexy eyes looking at me, I might just consider going straight. (but then again, I'm sure I can find those eyes on a guy too.)

I love that dan takes pics everywhere he goes. I live vicariously through other peoples pictures, specially dans, mostly because I'm afraid of travel.

Brent, you should act like you're movie star and make everyone cater to you and buy you things when Dan's being all paparazzi. See, take advantage of the moment. Say things like "don't you know who I am?" I bet you'd get a lot of attention and free stuff.

I just made it through a whole birthday without anyone getting a single picture of me.
