It's time to come clean.  You see last weekend as per usual we we're out and I was snapping pictures downtown.  Well after we had enough of Woody's we went to Leopard's.  So I promptly go to the washroom; as it took a while to get there.  Well once in the stall, I did my business (#1) then bent down to flush the toilet.  To my dismay, I felt my sweater become lighter and looked down to discover that my digital camera had fallen from my hoodie and into the toilet; a strip club toilet, probably the dirtiest place in Windsor.  Well I snatched it up as quickly as I could, but it was too late as the camera was unresponsive.  So finally after Warriner has predicted the demise of that camera for months, it finally bit the dust.  The camera was fine in it's time and here are it's final stats.

  • 1813 pictures transferred (probably double that taken)
  • 3 pictures of girls kissing
  • 91 pictures of drinking 40's (Donnie/Navi combine for 83).
  • 3 video captures of backflips
  • 47 self-portraits (I feel like a big man when I use the zoom function)
  • 340 pictures from Papa Cheney's (Monaghan in 275)
  • 0 pictures of Bugler passed out (how'd we manage that one?)
  • 6 pictures of Terry at Scott's house

To the people I haven't been straightforward with what happened to my camera, realize that if they simply fixed it; I wanted minimal people dubbing it the 'toilet cam' or other dirty names...but now I need not worry, because Sear's simply gave me a new & better one on the spot as a result of their warranty plan and the fact they no longer carry my model anymore.  This is like your bitchy girlfriend kicking the bucket and going home with her hot friend you macked it up with at the funeral...amazing!

Anyway, I wanted to get something profound as my first picture taken with the new camera; so I was waiting on say a hot black girl at the mall, a gay car with a 3 foot wing or someone to consume some malt liquor...but after a few days wait, this is what came first...

...that's right, on our way to the Wheatley skatepark today, some peacock was crossing the road.  Not exactly what I look to portray Belle River Nation with, but meh.

Speaking of Wheatley, they completed their $250,000 cement skatepark & I couldn't wait for this weekend so the woman & I headed out their in the Jetta and checked it out...here's some pictures...realize that I've yet to determine how to take action shots with the new camera, so 3/5 of this pictures are blurry.

Hang over Toothpick on a very small rail...I probably wouldn't use this picture, but it started raining, cutting our time short

Table over aforementioned elbow hip.  These are actually flatter than I thought they were

Handrail.  I wanted to do both sides, but I was forced to do this side about 20 times straight while trying to figure out the camera; and the picture is still blurry!

Anyway, hopefully you got some entertainment from that and aren't angry that you just read a lot for a picture of a peacock and myself riding a skatepark in Wheatley.

Update: BRN was down a couple of days because the server was being switched.  I know your lives were empty & hollow during those 3 days but no were back and you can rejoice because your lives now have purpose.
