Photography: Not a real job.

Funny enough, I’ve noticed in that in the last few years, that I now know about 1000 photographers.  I think every second person that I’ve met in my life is now a photographer.

When I was younger I used to be an avid photographer.  I used to buy the books, subscribe to the magazines, and spend all my money on film and camera stuff.

It was fun to take pictures, but it was a hobby.  It was something to do.

Welcome to 2009.  Where everyone hates their jobs, can afford to buy a 500$ camera.

Here are the steps to becoming a professional photgrapher:

1. Hate your job.
2. Have enough money for a decent camera.
3. Have a printer at home to print your own business cards.
4. Have someone that can pay your rent (parents).
5. Add ‘Photography’ to your name (ie. John Smith Photography).
6. Spend your weekends taking pictures of stuff.
7. Carry a camera around with you always.  Every shot is an award winning shot.
8. Use craigslist to find models to take pictures of.
9. Become friends with a Starbucks barista, hoping to get your picture on the wall.
10. Have a dream.

I really like #10.  Because you really need a dream to succeed.  out of those 1000 photographers I know, maybe…2, and thats just pushing it..2 people out of those 1000 probably make a very uncomfortable living from being a photographer.

I have a few hobbies that I was I could quit working so that I can do them full time.  These would be:

1. Play video games.
2. Ride my motorcycle.
3. Eat.
4. Sleep.
5. Hang out.

You know. Honestly I will not make money from doing any of that.  I might as well become a photographer.  I wonder if I was to add these hobbies to my name and make my own business cards, would it work out?

• Shaun Empire Gaming
• Shaun Empire Riding
• Shaun Empire Eating
• Shaun Empire Sleep Technology
• Shaun Empire Professional Hanging

Who knows.. Probably not.

Maybe I will just pick up a Camera, quit my job, and see where it takes me.

Funny White People

Applies to you

Yesterday while I was pumping gas at an Esso gas station I watched two white guys get into an argument.

This was not the argument that you would think, the argument was polite and the reason they were arguing? The white guy walking out of the Esso held the door for the white guy walking in. Then the one walking in said no after you….. and the white guy holding the door for the other white guy said… no no after you sir. They stood on either sides of the door with one white dude holding the door the other standing on the other side back and forth saying no after you. This went on for about 5 minutes while this was going on a whole family of Indians walked in and said nothing …seconds later a Indian women walked in said nothing all the while this retarded white man is still holding the door open and the other white guy is saying thank you … but after you .. LOL.. I laughed my stupid ass off.

Look, while it is nice to see some people still have a caring heart to think about the next person and hold the door for them, this is just stupid after the guy coming in said no after you .. just walk through man. The Indian family that walked in while this was going on didn’t even notice this was happening never mind they probably thought the white guy holding the door was doing it because it was his job. No one gives a shit no more, people in general are ass holes they don’t care about you and they don’t care about anything around them. If you cant change them….be like them. I see someone coming towards the door I make sure it slams in there face, why? Because if they had the same decision it would be slammed in my face. I learned after a couple of years of holding doors for people that no one gives a fuck. You look like a bitch holding the door some stupid ass mother fucker walks in and doesn’t even look at you never mind say thank you. You walk out like a bitch … your that mans bitch .. he owns you.

I have waited for a guy once just as he ran at the door I pushed it shut. When he walked in he looked at me and I looked at him .. like that’s right your a bitch I slammed the door in your fuckin face .. fuck face. I know its not nice and in a perfect world people would hold doors for people and say thank you. But we don’t, we live in a world of people that will cut there mothers throat for a buck.

Its the same when your trying to get off a bus or a train .. I push as many people as possible. I shove my way out like there is a fire and who ever is last is gonna burn a slow death. I shove my way through the door like its a fuckin Olympic race and I’m going for the damn gold medal bitch. Your Michael Johnson and I’m Donavan Bailey .. Because if you don’t act this way you will get stomped on. I’m in a train and I’m hopping over seats and babies to get to the door. Your in my way the elbows come out. I don’t give 2 fucks.

Driving your car on the streets? You should know how it is you either get through the lights or you sit behind everyone who will constantly cut around you no signals no brake lights .. in and out of traffic and pass you on the turning lanes. Pass you down the center median. So now I do the same, I see you trying to pass ill do the same .. shit I was going 140 along Mavis the other day and climbing because one women wanted to pass me even though I was doing like 90 in a 60 .. so as she began to speed up I did the same. Until we both were doing 140 and then she slowed down got in behind me and made a right turn. Crazy? Maybe .. but in our world of the careless and fuck you to get ahead this is the norm.

Welcome to the land of the free.

Im LeeRoy .. and im just like you …bitch !

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Aweeeesome!

So recently I decided to purchase a Playstation 3. I also purchased COD Modern Warfare 2. This game is the most addictive game I have ever played in my life. I mean this game is kinda like crack, not a giant pile of crack just a nice cut line of crack winding its way down a street all the way into the depths of hell. I began playing this game online against other crack fiends around the world, and my gawd I couldn’t put the damn game down. I kept playing for 36 hours straight. Eventually waking up on the floor in a puddle of my own puked, shit and piss. However the controller still held tight in my palm. I sat up and began playing again all the while I smell like a fucking 800 year old rotting dead corpse from my no shower sweating while I’m ducking grenades and snipers. The feces is stuck to my pants, my legs and balls and whole crotch is itchy, red and swollen from piss while I still continue to play my cracked out game of war. I’m leveling up real quick getting new perks and unlocking weapons that are making me crave more more.

I get a kill streak of 12 and launch my AC-130 gun ship and I begin to laugh and yell at all the punk bitches i’m blasting from the sky above. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKK YOOOOOUUUUUUUU HA HA HA HA HA …. every time I slash a mother fucker online that i d0nt know makes me tremble with delight. The pure rush from this game is getting me hard .. its making me wanna pull out my fucker and begin fucking the PS3 right in the drive. Its the best rush .. its like fucking on a Ferris wheel that broke off and is rolling down a mountain full of dildos and strife.

I piss my pants again, and then hear the door bell ring. You think I give a fuck?.. I yell. YOU THINK I GIVE A FUCK?  I yell again. The door bell stops ringing and I’m still playing. I’m still stabbing people and getting 1 shot 1 kill headshot points and all the while im racking the points up some mother fucker stabs me. I respawn and instantly want revenge, however the guy who stabbed me manages to shoot me dead before I get my revenge. But now its double revenge, now I don’t give a shit what is happening around me .. i’m going for this guy.. this guy is now going to feel my wrath. I respawn and he gets me with a grenade ((ding .. dingaling .. BOOM ! ))  What the fuck ????  WHAT THE MOTHER FUCKING FUCK…. IM GONNA KILL YOU .. YOUR FUCKING DEAD.. OMG .. your soooo … boom .. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT ????????????   HOW THE FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCK >????  he gets me again… I’m gonna get him .. ah ah ah ah …breathing very heavy now .. gotta breathe .. oooooooooo… I’m running now .. I’m running looking for this mother fucker .. I run up some stairs and I see him at the end of the building .. ha ha .. your gonna get it now .. no its too easy to shoot him .. its way too easy I gotta slice him .. slice him good then tea bag his face .. I’m gonna tea bag him ha ha ha .. he sucks .. he sucks sooo much … just as I’m running towards him he jumps off the building .. I run to the edge .. and there he is looking up at me .. and shoots me in the face with a shot gun .. BOOM… !  .. I fall off the building landing on the ground and as I watch the kill cam I see him kill me .. I fall off the building and he then …. OMG .. NO NO .. the fuckin humanity .. tea bags meeeeeeeeeeeee…. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUUUUCK THIS GAME ITS A PIECE OF SHIT …. AHHHHHHHHHHH

I take my Playstation and throw it right out my window .. then jump out the window with it… when I woke up police had me in custody .. and asked why I broke into someones house played COD for 36+ hours and never left? Then jumped out a window with the machine?

I had nothing to say but talk to Infinity Ward.

I’m LeeRoy ………. Modern Warfare is like a little bit of sprinkled crack on a slice of pizza hut pan pizza then you bite into it get hooked and realize there is crack in the crust. FUCK YOU PIZZA HUT !!

Exiting the train according to race..

Every day as the train gets to a major stop after work, there is a line-up to get off the train that starts a stop before.  I have just noticed today that every day, the line is assorted by race.

I will explaine this from front of the line to back.

__Train Doors__

Black People – (Soon as this train stops i’m getting the fuck off and going home)

Asian People – (All those black people are getting off, everyone knows that when black people are leaving it’s a good idea to follow)

White People – (I wonder what’s going on?  I should investigate)

Brown People – (I’m not lining up, I’ll go back to sleep for one more stop. Back in Indian people are hanging off the side of the trains with monkey’s. I’m happy to be sitting down until the last minute)

____

See.  If you pay attention you will see the same thing.

It’s just like horror movies.  How many Black People or Asians do you see get killed?  None.  How many Blacks, or Asians do you see in horror movies? None.

You know why? They don’t want to know what’s going on, they just want to get the fuck outta there.  If there was an Asian, Black, and a White guy, in a dark forrest, and all of a sudden they heard a chainsaw, the Black guy would run the fuck outta there, followed by the Asian, while the White guy would head towards the noise to investigate.

It’s true..

Pay attention..

Truths about drinking

The anchor trap

These people hate their lives, but have nothing to do but be content.

Do you ever feel trapped?

Hate winter? Your job? Taxes? The GTA?

You could probably say yes to most, or all of these.

Personally I would love to be somewhere hot all year round, and not have to work. Wouldn’t we all.

Follow your dreams? Yea, but. How would you be sure it would work out? You can’t be sure, and that’s why we suck and stay where we are.

For the last few years everyone would tell me to buy a house, and. I think, wow what an anchor. The more we have that anchors us to where we are, the smaller chance we have of changing what works, and go for the unknown.

What you will know is snow up to your ass, commuting 2-3 hours a day, high taxes, and a house so close to your neighbors you can hear them sleep.

Sounds like a shitty way to live the rest of your life. Slowly you go from being you, to just being another person waiting to go home so that you can wake up and go back to work in the morning.

Welcome to the real world. Escape is always an option.

Redneck Conspiracy

Bad news for Isarel…

Israel: Gaza rockets can reach metro Tel Aviv- [CTV.ca]

JERUSALEM — Hamas militants in Gaza have successfully test-fired an Iranian rocket able to reach Israel’s largest urban center, the country’s military intelligence chief said Tuesday.

Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin told parliament’s foreign affairs and defense committee that the rocket could fly 60 kilometres, and strike metropolitan Tel Aviv, Israeli media reported.

Until now, rockets fired from Gaza have reached up to 40 kilometres, putting one-eighth of Israel’s population within rocket range.

Yadlin said the rocket was fired in recent days, but no further details were immediately available from his testimony before the closed session.

Defense officials say Palestinian militants in Gaza generally test-fire rockets into the Mediterranean Sea.

The new Chrysler Logo

Very Stabtastic.

As you know Fiat now owns Chrysler, and will hopefully be working on making it a good company again.  It was great when the new 300 came out, but now since they are selling for under $10,000 (Canadian $) used, you’re seeing the youth destroy them with cheap wanna be Bentley mods, and taxi drivers rolling around Toronto in them.

Can we expect a new Chrysler, or just a new logo?

Women & Yoga tights The Gift That Keeps On Giving

This is what your body should look like in Yoga pants.

So recently Yoga pants/tights were brought to my attention.

Someone told me about them and after seeing them in front of my eyes I quickly realized that these were the greatest female pants/tights I have ever seen. I must believe that a man invented these, a manly man, a real man who enjoys looking at the female anatomy. The great thing is that women love these too. They are comfortable and stretch to fit. They don’t get hot and almost any female can put these on an instantly make a man drool with delight.

While I personally always loved blue jeans, to be specific a nice tight pair of Parasuco or Beckhams.  These Yoga pants have changed my mind, they look spectacular.

Please don’t get me wrong, if a women is beyond some weights (se: 130lbs) she should not be wearing these pants. Probably a size limitation on them, I suspect no one over some weight can purchase these. Men you know the pants I’m talking about, you have seen them you just didn’t have a name for them. Well I’m giving you the name, you want to purchase some for your wives go to the Running Room and find yoga pants and make sure they are 1 size smaller because they are supposed to be tight. Mind you they are stretchy so either way they should be great.

I’m LeeRoy ……….and Yoga Pants are what Dreams are made of !
