hot off the Wordpress

Well I thought I should tell yall that I think I might start using Wordpress now. I know, I know, you're probably thinking "But Matt, you just started using Blogspot." But see, Blogspot only lets me upload one gigabyte of photos, which in the long run, might not be enough. But, Have no fear, for I will probably finish project 365 on blogspot and wordpress! So go check out my new wordpress! Its hot and fresh!

HOT OFF THE WORDPRESS!!!

Btw, todays 365 pic is on there! Check it out yo!

a picture for yesterday

Whoops! Forgot to upload last night. I went over to my teacher’s house because she was having a movie night. We watched Lady Hawke. It was ummmm, an interesting movie. haha Anyway, I didnt get any pictures yesterday. Since I have been uploading a picture of a new friend I havent really taken any pictures. hehe Ive kind of enjoyed it. Uh oh! So, give me a few days to get back into taking pictures. Hope yall are having a great day and please tell your friends about my blog!
Day 113- This is from when I went camping at Del Shea. We got to camp under this Cottonwood Tree! I loved this tree so much! It was super duper cool! Also, this is from when I first got my camera, so I was still learning how to use it.

the best for last

Thats right. The best. The best in the west! Now dont get me wrong, all the other friends that I uploaded before this one are really good friends and I love them a lot (like a brother or sister kinda love btw) but Daniel is totally different. So lets get started.

Day 112-Daniel- To start things off, Daniel is probably my best friend in the whole world! No joke. Seriously, I love this kid so fricken much! I met Daniel this year at school. I have only known him for a few months but as I said he's like my best friend. Now you would think that I would have had a best friend here in Arizona by now, right? Wrong. I have really never had many good friends here in Arizona, thats probably the reason why I hated this state so much and why I was somewhat eager to move away. Its true! And at the time, I didnt matter because I didnt have many friends here so I didnt feel like I was leaving anyone majorly important behind. That all changed when I met Daniel. I know right? One person completely changing your opinion on moving n'stuff? Crazy! But its true! What I love about him is first of all, his personality is the best! Its hilarious! He can say some really embarrassing stuff and it doesnt seem to phase him. His totally weird, really random, and really funny. He's got a big heart and I love him a lot.
Now if you are ever around when Im with him, you'll probably notice that I make fun of him a lot. I pick on him, poke fun at him and lots of other kinda mean stuff. Now you would probably think that I didnt like him, but you my fellow reader, are drawing the absolute wrong conclusion! I dont treat him like that because I dont like him, I treat him like that because I treat kinda like a brother. Yeah, thats right a brother. See with a brother, you can pick on them, make fun of them, and do all sorts of stuff because you do it out of love. I would never actually want to hurt or make fun of Daniel because he is like a younger brother to me. Even though he is younger then me I still look up to him. Daniel, you have changed my life by a lot. You are a superbly amazing friend and I have no idea what my life would be like without you! I love you like your my brother! I love you a lot and I am really super glad to call YOU, my best friend.

foto friends

Yup, So I am still uploading pictures of some of my new friends that I made this year.

Day 111-Austin- So, I'd have to say Austin and I became quick friends. Why you ask? well because Austin is to, a photographer. Kinda like me. We both arent the best and we both wanna become better photographers. We both havent had a lot of training in photographer and we both get a lot of inspiration from other photographs and photographers. You can check out Austin blog here --> Austin's Blog He to, is doing Project 365. He was the one who told me to do it with him! Its goin' pretty good. Austin is a pretty good friend and a great photo buddy!

you gotta friend in me

I just love it when I upload on the day Im suppose to upload. It just makes my day, but it today cause my day was already made when I saw a green Volkswagen Bus "speed" down the street! That, made my day.
So I dont know how many times I'll tell you this but probably until I upload my last friend picture. Thats right, I am uploading a picture of every new friend I made this year. Now these arent just people I met and talk to from time to time, no no, these are friends that I genuinely care about and I am glad to have them in my life! I love you guys! :D

Day 110-Sarah- Guess what?!?! I met Sarah this year! Holy smokes!! Yup, well Sarah is pretty dang amazing. She's really funny and super nice. I have kinda talk to Sarah throughout the whole year so she's not Sam or Emily. She also has very good taste in music, such train, or Taylor Swift, and wonderful things like that. I love Sarah and Im glad to have her as a friend. :) Oh, and by the way, this is one of the few pictures I have gotten of her that she actually likes! So she wont get mad at me for uploading it! :D Woot!

little c!

Day 109-Calvin-Yup, So Im still uploading pictures of friends. This one is of Calvin, IE, Little C. Why do I call him that? I dunno, it just sounds cool! Anyway, I met Little C along when I met Sam, cuz guess what? They are brothers!! Now my first impression of Calvin was wrong. At first he seemed kinda shy and a little anti-social. But as the saying goes "dont judge a book by its cover" It turns out Calvin is a pretty sociable person! Who knew? He's pretty much the coolest 13 year old I know, come to think of it, he probably is. haha! Yup! I love this kid a lot! Come to think of it, I love all my friends!! :D



Matt :D

another friend

Sorry about not uploading last night guys! Are internet was down! Figures. Cox is terrible. Just about every week this happens. HUH! Oh, and if you are wondering how I sent that last post it was via text message! Yup! You can text to blogspot! Now thats pretty high-tech! lol
Anyway, I will upload yesterday's and todays project friend picture in two separate posts.
Day 108-Emily- Wow, where do I start? Lets see... Emily joined class during the beginning of the second semester. When I heard her last name I thought she was related to someone else with the same last name. I thought I wold check to see if she had facebook and of course she did (who doesnt have facebook?). Well it turns out she was not related to those people. Who knew!?! Anyway, it was probably a good idea that we became friends on facebook because she needed help gettin' into the swing of things for school. I'd have to say, for a new comer, she did pretty dang good! Her personality reminds me of another friend I have. Fun, happy, positive, encouraging, and so much more! She is a pretty amazing friend and I love her a lot. :)

Hey guys. Our internet is down so I do not know when I will be able to upload pictures. Sorry about that! Check back in a day or two!

a new friend :)

Whoa! Like whoa! I think this is the first time I have actually uploaded a project 365 pic...on time! hahaha Anywho, I again, didnt get any pictures today. So I have come up with a masterfully concocted plan! I thought it would be a cool idea to show you some of my friends I made this year in school. Sound like a cool idea? I thought so. So for the next few days I am going to be uploading a picture of a new friend. :) Here is today's:

Day 107-Sam: Well I met Sam later this year, really late in the year. Probably like the last month or two of class. Sure I had seen him around the whole year butttt, I really didnt talk to him much. I think why is cuz he seemed kinda like a cool kid and well, Im not, and why would a cool kid like me? I dunno. Anyway, one day in class, I sat next to him (and Emily). I figured I would talk to Emily more cuz I knew her better, but low and behold, Sam and I start yakkin' up a storm! Sure, teachers hate it when all kids do is talk in class, but hey, I was makin' a new, and strangely enough, it was easy. I could go into depth of why I have trouble in making friends, but, that'll be a different post. This post is about Sam! So, we talked...a lot. I have come to the conclusion that Sam is kinda like my cousin Melissa, crazy, hipper, and blah blah blah. So, I dunno if this post is meaningful or not, or if it affects your life an any way, but Sam sure has affected my life. I think of him as a pretty superb friend and am so defiantly looking forward to hanging out with him this summer! I love you Sammy!

pictures

yeah, more pictures. Just a few days behind because on friday I went to Jonathan's Birthday party and then that night I spent the night! We stayed up until 4 (well I did atleast) before I finally crashed. Then I woke up at 6. Prowled around the neighborhood, came back at breakfast, and then did alot of other stuff that day. Went to a Seussical. It was really good. Got home that night and was pooped. Got a good nights rest. Took a nap today. Uploading pics onto facebook. Watched King Arthur at my teachers house. Came home and am now in the process of uploading pics on the blog. I have been busy this weekend. So here are some pictures.

Day 104: This was at Jonathan's Party. That was Kelly. I just loved Jonathan's facial expression here. If you dont know Jonathan, well then just dont look at this picture. You wont understand.


Day 105: Since I didnt get a picture today, I decided to use a picture I got yesterday. It was a really pretty sunset yesterday. Beautiful colors and everything!


Day 106: Again, I didnt get pictures. Maybe cuz I spent alot of the time sleeping. haha Anyway Here is a picture of when I went camping with my dad and Jeff to Sheep's Bridge here in Arizona. Pretty cool place I'd say.



Good night yall! Im bushed.

Matt :D
Hey blog reading people! I just watched King Arthur! Good movie! I'll be uploading some pixs either tonite or tomorrow. Sorry bout not upload. :(

Pictures

Here are the rest of the pictures I havent been able to upload.

Day 100: This is when I went to the Apple Store to check out the iPad. I took this picture and low-and-behold my camera focuses on the lady in the reflection! I thought that was super cool!


Day 101:So I dont really know the order of the pictures I got for the past week, but I can tell you that I got this one awhile ago. Now the picture's quality may suck but its the person in the picture that means alot to me. I met Daniel this year at school and have really only know him for a few months, but he has to be one of my bestest friends!! I seriously love this kid so much!! He means alot to me!! So who cares about quality? This picture is the best just because of the person in it!!


Day 102: Yay, this is Jonathan. Daniel's younger brother. If you dont know Jonathan then this picture is gonna be werid and gross, but if you do, it sums him up. haha


Day 103: YupYup! Im all caught up!! Yaaayyy!! So today I (and Austin) got to take school yearbook pictures! It was pretty awesome! While I was setting up, Sam and Emily were havin' some fun and they wanted me to capture this incredible moment. hahaha! But seriously Sam and Emily are some of the coolest people I know. I think of both of them as super great friends.



So now I am all caught up!!!! YAAAYYY!! This calls for a celebration!

Please tell your friends about my blog! Thanks!

Matt :D

oh boy do I have the pictures...

Well I have quite a few pictures to show yalls. So Im just gonna start goin' through em.

Day 93: A humble flower. I just love flowers. Arizona has had a superb spring, by the way. It has yet to hit 100 degrees!!! Crazy!?!


Day 94: Yay, I know its another sunset picture. But come on! Its Arizona! Seriously, we have some amazing sunsets here!


Day 95: I had to go out to Casa Grande because my dad was selling a guy a boat. Thank goodness I brought my camera or else I would have suffered from severe boredom. Anyway, this is a picture of a flower on a tree. It had a bunch and it was hard to get a still shot cuz it was windy.


Day 96: A cool car! It was when I was at Casa Grande. I kinda lost track of the order of my pictures so I was just gonna pick some of the cool ones I got.


Day 97: Yeahhh, another pic I got from when I went to Casa Grande. haha But this is when I was coming home. I thought The sign look super cool!!


Day 98: I got this pic for just the randomness of it. I thought it looked pretty cool!


Day 99: My dad moved into a new office and this was the courtyard! We went at night so the pictures a fairly grainy. I kinda forgot I had a flash. lol



Well that concludes this set of pictures. I'll upload the rest here in another blog post. Thanks for looking and please tell your friends!!

Whoops!

Hey cyberspace! Sorry I havent uploaded any pictures or made any posts in the past week. Lets just say a higher power flexed their political muscle and suspended my rights to go on a computer and text people, for a week. So, hopefully in the next couple days I will upload what I have fallen behind in. Thanks for stopping by! Please tell your friends to come check out my blog!!

Off to bed! Night!

Pictures and school...oh and this little thing called life

Man alive have I been busy. Im so ready for the school year to be over. With projects, and finals, and all other things that are involved with school, I am bushed. Oh, and did I mention my teacher wants me to do school yearbook pictures? GAH!!! Anyway I know Im a day or two behind on uploading but oh well. School comes first. Sadly

Day 91- Yes, a lovely shadow on our wall. I thought it was quite nice.




Day 92- You do not know how much I love Volkswagens! They are seriously like one of my favorite cars!!! So when I saw this super duper cool V-Dub Bug, I was in heaven. I would prefer a red VW bus, but heck, a convertible bug? Yeah, I'd dig that.



Thanks for looking and please tell your friends and family about my blog! Thanks so much! Off to bed. Night!

Matt :D

a fresh start

Yup, its time!!!!! I am now going to be blogging! No more Flickr. :'( Yeah, I am kinda bummed but blogging should be good!! Im kind of excited! Anyway I thought I would provide the links to the previous pictures before I upload today's picture. I thought I would upload everyday cause it would be easier that way. I noticed when I tell myself, "I'll upload them tomorrow" it ends up being three or four days later. haha

Day 85: Remember when I went to that Owl Refuge Center? Yeah, well I didnt get any pictures for Day 85 so I decided to use one of them. They had an eagle there!!! He was soooo magnificent! -->To the picture<--

Day 86: What can I say? Probably one of my favorite songs! -->To the picture<--

Day 87: Obviously I had deep dish pizza for lunch! Of course it was tasty! -->To the picture<--

Day 88 Calvin. Wearing my "Harry Potter" glasses! hahah Yup, he's a pretty cool little dude! :D -->To the picture<--

Day 89: My last Flickr picture. :( Depressed? You bet. -->To the picture<--

And that is the pictures that I havent uploaded. See? I told you that I procrastinate! Its a problem that I need to fix...tomorrow!!

my time is near....

Yup, my time on Flickr is almost up. In a couple days I will no longer be using Flickr to share my photos with the world, that job is being passed onto Blogspot.Huuh, kinda a bummer. Ive really gotten used to Flickr. Its so easy to use and upload photos and share them with the world. I'll miss it so much, its just that I dont wanna pay 25 bucks for a one year Pro Account. I mean, if it were for like, ever, I wouldnt mind paying 25 dollars but for just one year seems a little steep, and I think its only for Flickr. If it gave me a Pro Account in like everything (Yahoo Mail, etc), then 25 dollars isnt all that bad. But, given the fact that its Yahoo! its probably only for Flickr. :( So, this is what I have to say to you guys, Please tell your friends, family, dogs, cats, birds, and what not to check out my blog!! Its not that hard of a task, really. Just post a link on Twitter or Facebook. Would you do that for me? For this smiley face? :) Awww, now isnt that cute? Doesnt it just motivate you to tell your friends about my blog? haha

Ello! How yall been? If you ask me I have been super-duper-uper busy. Ive got a few projects going on in school and and finals to study for. Golly, summer couldnt come sooner. Anyway, I dont really have enough time right now to upload all my pictures. So I was just going to post a link to the pictures I have uploaded. Once I have to start using Blogspot for 365, I will become more prolific at uploading. But for now, you'll just have to work with me here.

Day 78: is a pretty picture of some pink flowers and a cactus.

Day 79:is another picture of of pretty pink flowers (without a cactus though) accept with the Pin-Hole effect on.


Day 80:I got this with my phone. It was a sunset reflection in the mirror.

Day 81: Was at school today. It was cloudy and cold. Which is super strange for the middle of April.

Day 82: My dad found his old Film SLR today!! I was thinking of maybe using it for picture taking! :)


Day 83: Went to an Owl Refuge Center today. It was super neat!

Day 84: Had to film a commercial (school project) with my buddy Daniel today! Loads of fun!


And thats that. Phew, I was behind. Feels good to be caught up. Talk to yalls laters!!
