Computers and stuff

 I'm gonna apologize ahead of time for the lack of sseriousness in this post, I'm not in a wonderful mood.
So, my old PC took a shit, hence the lack of update and pictures. There was some video I intended to post on my channel, but that's gone now.
Long story short:
For a whopping two days, I was the only one in the house. Nobody said anything about leaving, I never heard any cars. Took my camera to look around, found a red velvet drawstring bag on the porch with a bunch of assorted stones in it. The footage of it was all borked as well, cutting out in a few places, etc. I didn't sleep much that night.
Second day, nothing special happened. That night, though, I saw him. In the house.
Yeah, you know the 'Him' I'm talking about. That skinny bastard. At first I thought it was some random creeper or something, but once he got to his full height, holy shit man. A combination of fear and me being a lazy arse prevented me from moving or doing anything as he just kinda...stood there. The whole time there was this constant ringing sound in my ears and what sounded like backwards music or some shit. I finally managed to get my legs working and I bolted like a Kenyan to my room, blocked the door off with everything I could. Of course I forgot about the window, and sure enough there he was. Before I can grab my camera, I get this terrible pain in the back of my head like somebody conked me with a baseball bat, black out. Wake up, blood on floor, morning time, someone's banging on my door. Turns out, everyone's home and they've no idea what I was talking about when I mentioned the 2-day gap. Then OH LOOK MY GODAMN COMPUTER NO LONGER FUNCTIONS. HOW GRAND.
And of course, skinny bastard nowhere to be found. Great.

Apologies

Sorry about the lack of updates recently. Lots of cleaning around the house this past week, been really hectic. There's some stuff that's developed this week as well but I'm debating on posting it.

Someone's been in my house.

So I got up this morning, looked around for that card. Didn't find it so I went outside to clean up the yard and help with our yard sale today. I just got in about two minutes ago and saw this, on the wall above my computer.

I don't want to play games, Mr. "Oh-let's-leave-Daniel-Some-Stupid-Fucking-Messages" card guy. And that razor blade left a hell of a nick in my wall.
Seriously though, this is concerning. The blade itself is really rusted and the only one we have in the house is in our medical supplies, and it's all cleaned and shit. My room is always locked when I'm not in it as well and you've got to make a crapton of noise to force it open.

Whelp.

Another update

So, I've got two things I wanna talk about:
First, our shop is seriously borked. The air compressor thing out there decided to randomly turn on about five minutes ago, so I went out to shut it off. Stumbled around in the dark, hit the light switch. The lights stayed on for about half a second before they all decided to go out at once. Finally managed to shut the compressor off in the dark after tripping on my face more than a few times.
Second, I talked to a friend (Jake) regarding the purple folder I got. He seemed rather interested in it, and was intrigued by the two drawings in it. He said the poem and the drawings seemed to fit stories of what boils down to a really tall guy in a suit with no face. Now I'm not superstitious or anything but I'm not naming him in case it's some Voldemort shit where you say his name and everything goes to hell in an instant. Not that I believe in cosmic pedophiles with tentacles, mind you, but it's an interesting theory.

I'm a dumbass

Whoopsies. In that opening video I accidentally turned two pages at a time and skipped this one. It's just before the torn page.So yeah, thought I should mention that. (You can actually see the ink through the back of this page in the video)
Now, there's something else rather concerning. I had that Ace of Hearts inside the cover of this folder, on my bookshelf, and it's not there anymore. My sister's been at a friends house since yesterday and my parents know not to come in my room. I looked all over and I still can't find it.

Whoohoo!

Holy jesus new MLP episode.

Today's been really loud. FPNL, our power company, is cutting up the woods around our house to clear space around the power lines for safetty reasons or something. They couldn't make more noise with this godamn wood chipper if they tried. As they were cutting further by the creek though, the crane thing they've got their guy in shut off like five times out of nowhere and the wood chipper decided to stop chipping wood a couple times as well. This is what we get when we've got some $700 billion going to war efforts while everything else is getting cut.

Minor update

Just a thought I had on that folder. Considering some of the writing, I'm starting to think a couple of the comments "we will not be so kind as to let you die'" etc. might have been directed at someone else when this was written. Could also just be scare tactics and I really shouldn't be putting too much thought into this, but still. Couple things in there just don't really make sense in context.

Purple folder

Hey, remember that cross & paper I got the other day, and the vague threat of being watched? I guess that guy kept his promise:

I found this at my doorstep today. It's hard to tell from this picture, but it's got a translucent purple covering as well.  I recorded myself the first time I opened it up as well:

This was the folder the man downtown was carrying. I didn't see him reach in it to tear the paper out. Was this some kind of contingency plan if he failed to get people into his cult/religion/whatever?
Probably shouldn't let this bother me, just some guy messing with me for not joining his cult religion thing. Meh.

Storms and stuff

Quite a storm yesterday, knocked out the power for most of the afternoon and evening so I couldn't update. I also managed a video during the rainstorm, it'll be up on my Youtube channel in a little bit. I can't seem to figure out why there was no audio, though. My camera's been acting up.

Also, I got this letter in the mail today about what seemed to be two gay guys wanting to buy our house. And it was written with the worst grammar I have ever seen.

My face when.

Some more pictures (and a video) will be up in a little bit, next post. Gonna head back into the creepy-ass woods, against all good judgment, to show you guys what I'm talking about. 

Also:

Ponies. Nothing else needs to be said.

Seriously.

Downtown

Went down town earlier, about an hour or two after that last post. Unfortunately I didn't grab my camera because the batteries decided to die, so no pictures of my trip. I do however, have some pictures of a couple things I got down there:

Yeah, nothing too special. It was really godamn hot out today so I wasn't out for very long. I probably would have picked up a hat or two if I stayed longer but I could practically feel my hair melting.

...And then there's this. A bit of a story behind it.
As I'm exiting the store I got the cards from, there's this fountain directly to my right. I glance over, and there's this man, around 40 or so, gesturing to me. His arms are covered with weird-ass tattoos and he's holding some kind of folder or something. I didn't catch most of what he said but I think he was trying to convert me to some kind of pseudo religion or something. He gave me this cross, which was wrapped in a small piece of paper, when I denied, and told me something along the lines of "you'll be watched". So yeah, steering clear of King's Street from now on.

The paper it was wrapped in.
Why the hell can't people bother me with religions I've at least heard of so I have some grounds to mock them on?









Unrelated to pedophiles hanging outside of trinket stores:
Just because my cart isn't fucking welded to the checkout counter doesn't mean you can ram your godamn cart into mine and start scanning your shit. I've got two bottles of vitamin water and some cards, you've got an entire cart full of steaks and who knows what else. I think you can wait a minute.

Some pictures

So yeah, time for some actual pictures. This here's one of my many (many) cats. I'm surprised she sat still long enough for me to take this.

The area immediately outside of my house. Yeah, boring, I know.











The woods in the background  are creepy as all hell, I rarely go back there.I might though, just for blog purposes.

Back yard. Our garage (the shop, as we call it) is also pretty damn creepy on the inside. Full of stuff from like, the early 1900s.










Also, not photography related:
Something near the top of my list of things I hate? Spam mail. I got an e-mail today from someone asking me for my blood type and height, several Viagra ads and a couple people asking me to become a male nurse.
Bleh.

Sound of blog being posted

Well would ya look at that. Finally got around to making a blog.  I should probably start off with some info about myself, shouldn't I?
My name's Daniel, I'm 16 and I live in Florida. I'm really into photography and a good portion of my posts on here will probably be photography related. I'm not the most social person so you probably won't see many posts mentioning friends. Meh. You'll probably also hear a fair share of stories involving me being paranoid about stuff I shouldn't be. I've got a bad habit of doing that.
Well, there's not much else to say here, so I'm gonna end this here.
