Cars

Cars suck.  I mean.. I like them, they just suck.  I like driving them, I like looking at them, I just don't like fixing them.  I'm super lazy, and though I know how to fix my car by myself, I just don't.  For example, a year and a half ago I was driving home from a camping trip with my dad, and we were in my car.  Well he mentioned that he thought my front bearings might be going out since he could hear them, so I should probably change them sometime.  Nine months later I finally did, and when I pulled the old bearings out they just fell apart.  I'm the procrastinator of procrastinators when it comes to fixing my car.  I drive a 1997 Saturn SL2, and I love it.  I also love the fact that they just don't die, ever.  Everyone is surprised that thing is still running.  I've run it almost completely dry on oil once, I've driven on shot bearing for more than a half a year (as I already mentioned) and currently I need to replace my CV half shaft, which I've known about for maybe about 5 months, I don't know when I'm going to do that.  We'll see when that becomes a priority, I like putting my money in just so many other things than my car.  I'm kind of laughing right now because if there are any mechanics or true car people reading this right now I'm sure you're all cringing from this post.  Yeah I know, I neglect my car.  Good thing I drive a Saturn. :P

Grunt #2

Oops, I completely forgot about doing this since my weekend was pretty busy and I wasn't really home for most of it.  ... So I'm going to have to just post another picture because I don't have a post planned out.  Here is another variant of a Grunt from Halo that I drew.

Grunt #1

Here's another drawing I did a couple days ago. You've already seen the Hunter I drew awhile back and I decided I want to draw all of the Halo characters because I have an idea for a comic strip, and obviously I need to know how to draw the creatures for that. So slowly you will see all of the ones I've drawn. And here is one of the Grunts. Enjoy.

Photography

Photography is a hard hobby. Not in the sense of going out and taking pictures or of printing them or such. But in the fact that at least with me I have all of these images in my mind of what I want to capture with my camera. The problem of this is that the world doesn't work in the perfect photographical way. Things that sound like the perfect picture in your mind turn out to look horrible. Example being like if you were imagining taking a picture of this cool looking tree sitting by a flowing river with the sun shining behind it. Well that sounds perfect so you go for it. But when you get there and take the picture all of a sudden it doesn't look so perfect. The sun's reflection is too bright so the tree actually looks like a telephone pole being eaten by a gorilla. You get my drift. Well.. maybe not, that analogy might have failed. Oh well. I understood it and that's good enough for me. But back to what I was saying. Photography, while it can be really rewarding when you do get that perfect shot, can also be insanely frustrating when it seems like none of your pictures are turning out. I myself do have about 10-15 pictures I can call pretty awesome, but out of about the 5,000 pictures I've taken that doesn't seem as impressive, at least to me. But out of those few pictures I have, when I got some ribbons at the county fair for 3 of them, it made it that much better.

... I have no idea if I wandered there, if I did I do apologize, just bear with me. Oh and you may of noticed my profile did change to my real name. I just linked to Google+ and I decided that there really wasn't any more point to hide my identity. So hi, I'm Josh Symalla.
