    I used the photoshop express program available on the IOS system to modify a photo I took exactly one year ago. The photo was already of a weird quality due to it being taken with a 3DS, so modifying the photo proved to be a rather odd exercise. I chan...

    Where I'm from Poem

    I am from cow pastures
    and elementary school bus walks filled with scary, violent dogs.
    From the 80's and inception of gaming
    and from the wilderness I used to despise.
    I am from the war on marriage
    and the dissolution of love.

    I am from the southern state,
    from the “Bible Belt” of sodom.
    I am from Christians exclaiming they know the truth
    and Jews whom are less overbearing than their Christian brethren.
    I am from a truth that a book does not rule my life,
    and that books are the key to freedom from ignorance of deities.

    I am from blizzards in the 90's,
    to the oppressively humid heat of Georgia.
    I am from perseverance with constant failure
    and from underachieving.
    Yet I have achieved things that less than 1% have done,
    or will ever do, ever.

    I am from game-nerds, baseball bats,
    and outdoor wild people.
    I am from the need to be a nice guy,
    even if that leads to the inevitable failure.
    I am from forever friend zones and solitude.
    Where no one can break the bubble.

    I am from music never play int he early years,
    but created personally later.
    From concert venues and late night shows,
    to large festivals where you meet the world.

    I am from stone-will, but fluid as water.
    I was here, but am not now
    and I am invisible, but not for much longer.

    DS 106 Assignment CI did the Over Edit Yourself assignment just for giggles and so that I could easily eliminate an assignment off the list. My picture ended up looking like a late 80's B movie filter for some kind of toxic looking picture. Cheers.
