I will.  <strong>Dare me<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>Why do I need a camera?  Well, for one, I don&#8217;t have one.  I don&#8217;t even have a film camera.  Do you know how stupid I feel when I go to parties or weddings and I don&#8217;t have a camera to use?  It feels bad Ted, it feels really bad.  I&#8217;m almost too ashamed to go out anymore &#8217;cause my friends make fun of me for not having a camera.  If I didn&#8217;t bring my guitar, I think they&#8217;d  stop inviting me.  It&#8217;s that bad, Ted, it&#8217;s really <em>bad<\/em>.  You gotta help me man.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>I really need to get myself into this new age of digital photography. Everyone is doing it except for me.   I&#8217;m an outcast.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a waste too that I don&#8217;t have a camera &#8217;cause I&#8217;m starting a new site called Guitar Licks and I want to teach people how to play guitar over the net.  If I had a camera I could take photo&#8217;s of the chord progressions as I talk about them, or if it has video &#8211; don&#8217;t they all have video these days? &#8211; I could even video tape short pieces and I&#8217;d be able to teach people how to play guitar with them.  Isn&#8217;t that a great idea Ted?  Don&#8217;t you want to help me do this?  Just think, <strong>YOU<\/strong> could help me teach guitar to people from all over the world.  But I don&#8217;t know &#8230; without your help I might just have to scrap that idea.<\/p>\n<p>Oh Oh oh &#8230; I&#8217;ve got another idea.  Toronto is a big city, it&#8217;s huge &#8211; and while there are a lot of normal people here, there&#8217;s a lot of strange ones too &#8230; where do think I got the idea for Odd Planet from anyway?  Watching all the strange people walk around this city, that&#8217;s how.  Like the people that steal wheel chairs from the hospital that&#8217;s just down the street and have uh wheel chair drag races in front of our house.  I could take photos of weird stuff like that and post it here.  There&#8217;s no end to the strange stuff that I see in this city.   I promise- if you give me a camera &#8211; I&#8217;ll fill this blog up with crazy photos that I&#8217;ve taken of all the strange and odd people I see.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>Hey Ted?
