Readymade

Well I realise its been a while since I posted a post which wasnt to do with photos Id taken, so I thought I'd take the time to write a post which was actually text...not pictures...you know its already 10pm 2nite has gone so fast already...in 12hours I'll be heading out to college for another day and education and fun (well at least thats what college want us to have, in reality the education isnt really all that much each day and the fun is often non existant...unless u with a load of cool ppl and ur actually doing something worth while) And then tomorrow afternoon after college Im going to Manchester Climbing centre in Gorton and going for a good few hours rock climbing. I might even take my camera cos the place its self its awesome...its in an old church so obviously the building is really tall and its a really strange mix of old and new in a way. I mean its a pitty that God is no longer worshiped there, but I must admit it is a really good use for an old church building. But yeah, if you ever get a chance to go, go!

Iv got an electronics mock exam tomorrow which should be interesting...hopefully it wont be too bad. I havent revised much so I dunno how its gonna go. I must admit Im really struggling with getting down to work at the moment so if you could pray for me it would be really appricated.

I manged to get my general studies at college, which was quite impressive. The power that be were trying to make all the students do General Studies in their tutor groups. Probably so they could get more money and so they would appear higher in the leauge tables and stuff. However I didnt want to do General Studies so I managed to get myself out of it! It did however involve a HUGE arguement with the teacher who had the idea of doing general studies in tutor. However in the end she admitted that she'd over re-acting when I didnt shout back and I think me telling her I'd sue the college if they made me do it had something of an effect as well...I think the thought of an OFSTED inspection and at the same time a student sueing the college scared her slightly...it probably wouldnt look too good in the report would it? Imagin the Newspaper headline: STUDENT SUES COLLEGE ON THE SAME WEEK OFSTED INSPECT I could see why they wouldnt want it! lol If anyone reading this goes to Cheadle and Marple Sixth College would like to get out General Studies let me know and depending who you are I might give/sell you the way to get out of it...Disclaimer: This method will only work if you do not bow under pressure and can stand up to teachers shouting at your face and hating you for the rest of your life

Anyway I had better go as Iv ogt to get ready for college tomorrow and I have to read my Bible and stuff...sorry if this was a boring post but at least its not pictures!

Driving

I took these photo's on Saturday after the rally well actually the second was on the way to the rally. I really like them, the first I think cos it captures what you see when you're actually drving when its dark. The second, well I dont know, its completely out of focus which is what make me think my brother took it, cos I dont remember taking it. But to me it seems very atmospheric , Im not entirely sure why tho...what do you my 1.5 readers think? Of both of them...

And I took these on the way home...

I liked the effect that a bumpy motorway and a long exposure had on the lights and that all I can be bothered giving any details cos Im too tired cept the first picture was taken at 6:30am this morning and Id all ready been travellin for 30mins...thats why Im now tired! :p Let me know what you think of these and the others below...

What Sam did next

Today I went on a rally, in fact the Roger Albert Clark Memorial Rally (or the RAC rally) (there was also the Kall Kwick rally running at the same time hence the sign) It was good. However I am aware that some of you reading this will have no idea of what happens on a rally or what it even is so here is a brief summary: It is a motorsport where the cars race against the clock not each other and the driver with fastest over all time over a number of stages (courses) wins the event. They often drive on forest tracks and similar and its loads better than F1. In short its a good motorsport!

Anyway I took my camera on this event and well it took a little while getting used to taking photos of moving objects and what not...oh and the light wasnt great...being in the middle of a load of trees sort of blocks the light. Anyway I did my best and took a few shots and these are pretty much the best of what I got..(I know there's not many but I didnt get long to take photos. but in 2 weeks Im goin on the WRC event so I'll get some more then)

Panasonic Lumix FZ-50

Boo!

I was short of a title so I thought I'd scare you all...lol I havent posted for a while Im sorry! And that was cos Im too lazy not too busy...Im certainly not too busy at the moment...college is pretty easy at the moment. Only the odd piece of homework. and when Im only in college 11 out of a possible 25 lessons...it means lots of free time! Which is why I laze around at lot and why I do quite alot of hours at work. WHich is why Im rapidly getting richer! lol

OOOO little scally kids! They have no respect! For anything! During half-term, which was last week for all us stockport school/college goers...work had three extra fun sessions on. Which on their own was no problem...however...when you add 60 people most of them little chav kids you end up with a very annoying combination...They pratt around...they nearly kill each other...they nearly kill other people in the pool...they dive onto floats from the side...they jump onto floats from the side...they do backflips...frontflips...bellyflops (yes it is quite amusing to watch the pain on their faces)...cannonballs(or to the better educated dive bombs) ....and more annoyingly they give cheek...and they even spit on you!!! yes spit on you!! oh I nearly killed them two chavs...they were about 10 and 12...Oh if they ever do anything ever again I will ban them from the pool for life...the little muppets! Why is it that these days hardly anyone has any respect for anyone? I mean us lifeguards are there to make sure they dont die and yet they choose to be rude and unrespectful? why is it? what has gone wrong with this world? well actually I know...sin...but yeah hardly any of the small children have any respect anymore...it should be beaten back into them. And here ends my political speech.
