The floor would be in the hen house that is not in the picture. That is the "run" part where they can go outside.

Besides, I didn't want everybody seeing pictures of my home....... :laughing:
Why not? Does the chicken coop look better than your house? :laughing: :wink:

Nice shot. Is that effect a transform applied to the base photo in Photoshop? Perhaps watercolor? Very nice effect.

Today I took my bike down to the shop for its first service. They told me I might be able to pick it up tomorrow if not today. I hope it's today.

A month ago I went up to my mom's uncle to help him with his chickens. They got out of the chicken coop and roosted on his front porch. He was afraid a coon would get them plus you couldn't help stepping in chicken crap everytime you went to the spring house. It is amazing how easy it is to catch them after dark. I also learned that it is a good idea to wear gloves. I ended up getting spured in the hand.

Oh well...

Just got back and I basically told my "friends" I ain't going anywhere with any one for a while. I'm still pissed, but because this has been happening since junior high/ intermediate school all the way up to college.

I mean, I know I am pretty ugly but come on, I hate being left out in the cold like that. Then again I have a type even though I shouldn't.

I wanted to start a new thread on it but it would be a waste.

Venting made easy!
Fuqt up to the eXtReme nigz aiight B. Stroke stroke stroke your boat, gently with your hand... I'm the fastest chink on two wheels!!!!!111!1ONE

I will continue my venting by PWNING peepz on online gaming.

The bright side is that I spent no money at the bar since I was too pissed off to drink (WTF is pissed off anyhow? Is it like something stuck on your jock and you won't be happy until you "pee" it off? English is funny)

Back Story:
I had a friend named Julia back when I was starting high school and she had a friend Jen who was interested in my friend George, they went out one night, and I was stuck with Julia. While George and Jen made out Julia sat on my lap waiting for me to do something but I was too afraid. Fast forward to Sept 12 2001. She and her boyfriend were walking down the street and I was walking towards them. Still a little shaken by the news of the day before I said hi by nodding my head. It wasn't good enough. When I was walking back home I saw them again but her BF started yelling and cursing at me saying I disrespected her. We got into a scuffle and everyone took her BFs side while telling me not to be a F'ing punk. I had lost my childhood friends and my crush all in one shot.

22 yrs old and still haven't even kissed a girl. How pathetic is that?! I'll be 40 Year Old Virgin that's for sure. FRIENDS SUCK BALLS!
Dude, join the military and get overseas. You'd be surprised what you can get with a pocket full of dollars. I was 19 when I was stationed in Turkey. Twenty dollars would get you downtown, drunk, laid, and a taxi ride home.

Wow, that was a pretty old post. Anyhow I plan to join the Air Force once I am done with college. And no prostitutes are not the way to go.
One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

I took the photograph with my digital camera. I downloaded it onto my computer. Did a small amount of cropping and then did a small amount of stylizing in the computer...then I used my HP printer to print it onto photo paper.

I used the photoshop elements 2 program. (yes, I know I am behind the times :) ).
I selected a filter and played with it until I got the look I liked and then used the liquify filter to very lightly blend the background.
