I bought my first camera phone back in 2006. It was the original Motorola Razr V3. It was pretty cool being able to snap pics of stuff I came across at any given moment. So, in December of that same year, I wrote an article that took a look at some of the random photos I had taken with my phone. One of my blogging/Twitter buddies Trish just posted a very similar article and it got me thinking that I want to do it again. It has been 4 years. Plus, I have a much better phone now, the iPhone.
So, I’m going to delve into my cell phone photos and see what randomness I can come up with. Here we go.
I found this odd statue outside a restaurant in the French Quarter in New Orleans. I call it “Croc-Lobster” (get it?…The B-52′s song?…hello?). I find myself completely fascinated by the idea of a Croc-Lobster. This needs to be a monster that fights Godzilla. NOW.
Before the baby, my wife was an elementary school teacher. So she had these alphabet letter cards up on the walls of her classroom. I took pics of the letters P, A and X (because it’s my name, duh) and texted them to my brother. It looks silly now that I’m looking at it but that’s the stuff my brother and I text to each other.
I got so excited when I saw this truck. I have to wonder if a black Firebird named KITT was inside as this is very similar to the truck that transports that awesome car in the show Knight Rider. Even the logo is similar.
Went to Charleston, SC a few years ago with some friends. In the middle of the night, drunk and hungry, we wound up in a small Mexican restaurant in the middle of downtown. Featured on the menu was this unbelievable site, The Margarona. A frozen margarita served with a full bottle of Corona turned upside down into it. It never even occurred to me to try something like this. My mind can now be considered BLOWN. For some reason, they wouldn’t serve it at 2am, which seems to me to be the only time someone would order it.
I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, “If Pax writes any more about his stupid iPhone I’m going to cut him with the prison shank I keep in my bathroom toilet.” Well, maybe you’re not thinking of that specifically, because, as my wife just informed me, not everyone has a prison shank hidden in their toilet tank (which is crazy, because you should have one. Seriously). All physical threats of violence to the side, I am in fact going to talk about my supremely awesome iPhone again. If you got a got a problem with it, you can meet me on the corner of Shut and The Hell Up. I’ll be the guy stabbing people with a wet prison shank named Skip. Yes, his name is Skip. He likes action movies, listening to AC/DC, and shanking people in the gut. Come up, say hi and he’ll shank you in the gut.
That’s right, people. AT&T finally acquiesced and gave me my birthright; the iPhone 3G! I wrote about my personal
