myspace quiz day #14

#14.  a hero that has let you down

quite a few of my cousins have been heroes, and then let me down.  three that i can think of off the top of my head. 
i can't think of any specific instance for any of them when they let me down, but slowly they just started to become un-heroes to me. 
i think it must have been when i was "learning about the world". 
you know when you are small and everything is black and white, good or bad, right or wrong?  i think that is when they became my heroes.  (i think they were all at seperate times...) and when you start comprehending that there is gray, kind of good and kind of bad, and sort of right and sort of wrong?  i think that is when they became my un-heroes.  i realized they weren't the white, good, right that i had originally thought they were (that they led me to believe?  not even sure at this point).  and it was disappointing.

hot dog

window. again.

i don't know what it is about my windows.  but i need to take their pictures.  often.  it's like a weird compulsion (?) that i have....

or maybe it's just that it makes a good subject when i am experimenting.  i was messing with my camera on my phone and it has negative, and sepia, and black and white, and all these other weird effects.  this was at night, in the dark, with no lights on and no flash.  i started out trying to take a picture of the moon, which you can see as a dark blurry spot at the top of the window...

clouds

i love clouds.  they are such a mystery.  in a way...  don't think about it too hard, or they make too much sense.

i think these pictures were from when the trees were just barely starting to turn, but the sky still looked summery and warm...
