Male plague
 
I said it three times, guess I'll say it four
I'm sad and sick to watch you devolve
Your pen has gone gray
The view has been walled
And no one knows what you're saying at all


See-through skin - barnacles of age
Male plague, male plague
Old days misremembering
Male plague, male plague
You think the world gives you a stroke
Male plague, male plague
Fear of the future of losing your hold
Male plague, male plague


Hey figurehead, what you gonna do?
Her truth moves too fast for you
Hurled upon the stage
The act has gone sour
Sad sacks pickled in jars


See-through skin - barnacles of age
Male plague, male plague
False news beamed right in
Male plague, male plague
Every boy wants to be a cop
Male plague, male plague
I punch you down - you punch them out
Male plague, male plague


[Outro]
Everybody knows it's gonna kill you some day
Everybody knows it's gonna kill you some day
Everybody knows it's gonna kill you some day
Everybody knows it, tastes it, feels it
Everybody knows it's gonna kill you some day
Everybody knows it, needs it, wants it
Everybody knows it's gonna kill you some day

I was standing in line at the gas-station the other day and there was some older teenage guys behind me. The one dude goes on about how triggered his mom made him feel and he kept emphasizing how he was "triggered"

And then I was at the Liquor Store today and this younger white bro kind of guy was in the line and catching up with some older lady and when she asked about his girlfriend he went on saying 'oh you know typical "white girl stuff"' and I swear to god he referenced "white girl stuff" 3 or 4 times.

I thought that this kind of rhetoric only existed online. It was sort of a mind-trip. It was one of those moments where you realize that you really are getting old. I seriously wanted to slap the guy at the liquor store.

fuzzyroes 04-23-2018 06:59 PM

Yeah man. I'm actually gonna buy a high quality camera and start taking nature and panorama shots. I'm gonna post it on a blog called Fuzzy's Fotography.

Cause really, if you've never been to British Columbia, there's just beautiful landscapes and so many different bird sanctuaries that are perfect for photography.

smashingjj 04-23-2018 07:02 PM

you ever been to dutch Columbia though

FlamingGlobes 04-23-2018 07:03 PM

I used to own a Columbia House.

fuzzyroes 04-23-2018 07:03 PM

Fuzzy doesn't travel.

FlamingGlobes 04-23-2018 07:07 PM

Not since the DUIs...

I've been looking at this

https://www.amazon.ca/Kodak-Astro-Zo.../dp/B00M8C7RKE

It's not cheap, but I hear it's a great camera. I realize for a pro one you can pay in the thousands though.

I go on a lot of hikes, and I've started going on jogs, and I go on a lot of trails and chill in random spots, and I always see these great opportunities for photos. I'm thinking it'd be a fun hobby. Something to share with friends and family on facebook, and if it gets more attention, great. But I realize that photography is a a really tough space to make a name for yourself in.

Fuzzy's Fotgaphy is the real name I'm thinking of using. I think it's silly but a fun name nonetheless.

Is that camera any good Buzz?

buzzard 04-23-2018 08:09 PM

I wouldn't be going for a fixed lens camera, personally.

You'll find that 24mm is a bit wide for most shooting scenarios as it'll rob the scenery of drama with flattened landscapes on top of distorting facial features in any portraiture, whereas utilizing the zoom will drop you to a maximum aperture of f/6.6 that'd prove too slow to capture anything like birds in flight and generally let you down in any lower light scenarios.

I did always wonder what a fake beard might look like worn both upside down and back to front.

I hear ya... Kind of :D

Do you know of a good camera for an ambitious photographer who doesn't wanna spend more than 400$?

buzzard 04-23-2018 09:35 PM

Honestly, your best bet is to try to find a used entry-level DSLR on eBay.

A Nikon D3200 or something similar in good condition with an 18-55mm kit lens would sort you right out for around that price, allowing you to pick up filters and additional lenses over time as your "vision" develops. On top of being suitable for a wider array of uses in the short term and almost certainly offering better image quality in all scenarios, its upgradability would save you from wanting to replace it nearly as soon if the hobby does take off. Plus, if you look after it, the resale value will generally hold in the event that you're over it a few months down the track.

reprise85 04-23-2018 09:46 PM

why don't you start by getting a phone with a decent camera, you don't need to start with a big $$ thing. it's like when you get your first guitar. it's some no-name bullshit but you cut your teeth on it to see if you really like it or you just feel like having an expensive hobby

reprise85 04-23-2018 09:47 PM

or listen to buzzard, idk what i'm talking about clearly. buzz have you seen special lenses people have for their phone cameras? pretty strange looking

buzzard 04-23-2018 09:58 PM

They strike me as bullshit, but I've never dealt with one nor knowingly known anybody that has.

I'm guessing it's exactly like holding your phone up against a tiny telescope.

yo soy el mejor 04-23-2018 10:54 PM

i got my 35mm for $10 at a garage sale and have taken some great pics with it. you have to be interested in photography, not having a fancy camera. $400 is stupid.

yo soy el mejor 04-23-2018 10:55 PM

lol @ ambitious photographer

obviously you're not THAT ambitious

Well, I mean, if he at least cleans his mirror this time, I'd say that's a marked improvement.

buzzard 04-23-2018 11:18 PM

I do feel that digital is a bit like ten pin bowling with the bumpers on, but don't see the project going any further than his trivia threads if he's hiking with a Trip 35 in hand.
