Nerdapalooza 2012

     I was one of the very many to attend this years Nerdapalooza. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, it's basically a music festival over the course of the weekend in Orlando Fl.  The music is in some way shape or form inspired by who pertaining to video games, comic books, movies, etc. Pretty much any type of entertainment/media you would expect nerds to be into. Featuring acts included NerdCore HipHop groups such as Schaffer the Darklord, DualCore, Mega Ran and Adam WarRock to name a few, as well as musical groups the The Protomen, Metroid Metal, and Random Encounter. This is one of the only music festivals they allow fans to bring in DSLR camera's so you bet your ass I took advantage of the situation to get some awesome indoor shots. I was rollin with my D90 with 50mm 1.5 Nikkor as well as my trusty 18-55 for those wide angle shots. I had to shuttle back and forth from the hotel room to the venue in order to save money on drinks, so needless to say I was in a pretty good mood for the most part. Enough talk though here are the shots :D

Salad Bento Anyone?

When I was young I would overhear stories, the villagers spoke of men disappearing. When they found they're bodies they were like..like butchered. They would call the one who did this "El diablo que hace que los trofeos de los hombres". This would only happen in the hottest of years. El diablo que hace que los trofeos de los hombres means "The demon who makes trophies of men" and this year it grows hot.

Violent dreams

The hydroponic lettuce we get at my job comes in sealed plastic caskets. Its cleaner, do to it being hp, but I still have to wash it to be safe. I keep finding these cute little treefrogs in the stuff and they end up jumping all over the place intil I can catch them to set them free. Its funny becuase my whole train of thought goes from work mode to that of mother trying to protect her child as if it were running into traffic o_O

Salad days

If we all would listen.. We wont miss the suprise.

In the Lab :)

6:59 PM

So I haven't posted in a looong time. There is no excuse for this. My days merge constantly and sleep is more of an intermission than a cycle. The new year came in like a train through a pigeon and I have lost sight of my personal goals. It was this month that I realized I need a change in my life, soon. So this year I aim to graduate and get out of Saint Augustine. My time here has been grand but I need to get out and explore the world. The end of summer is my goal, My days are spend packed with finishing up my classes and making the final preparations necessary to move on as well as saving every dime I can. On a lighter note I got my planted aquarium up and running again with some cool ideas in mind for the future. Montage is still running solid, but it, like other aspects of my life, need work. Been listening to BOC-Pete standing alone all day such a good song, it helps me best to think or not be awake.

Shuttle launch

This summer is taking a toll on my body and my sanity. If I'm not rummaging about my salad cooler at Gypsy cab with hopes of finding the spring salad mix, I'm throwing together Rainbow rolls at Spy in actual seconds. If I am online, somewhere somehow constantly searching blogs and listening to Internet pod casts to find the good stuff so I can keep Montage going. So needless to say I have had less amounts of time to keep my life in order. I am still taking photos and have many to share; I am going to make a really big post at the end of this month with all of my summer photos. But until then I managed to get the film developed from the May 14 shuttle launch. My sister and I took a trip down to Kennedy to see Space shuttle Atlantis launch for STS-132. I was shooting with my Nikon F70.
