Good DSLR camera and the right lens.

As others have stated, a good DSLR is needed, proper lighting, lens, filters, etc........It takes time and effort to learn how to properly take a good picture.
a steady hand. or a tripod with timer helps very much maintain the clarity of pictures.

some lights were burned out in that picture. and the pics i will be taking will be somewhere else, too.
You don't need a DSLR to take a **** photo. First off you have to know what you are doing first. Take some photography classes and learn the basics of using a camera. If you actually want to get good, start off with an older manual film camera (Cannon AE-1's are really good, and pretty cheap). Learn the basics and go from there, and good glass is one of the best investments you can make in a camera too (besides knowledge).

all i want to do is take pics of some things, that dont look shitty like the first picture. but they dont have to be perfect.
Well, your picture is out of focus, you're taking the picture too close. If you have a macro mode, that would have worked better. Lay the phone open on its side on a sheet of white paper, then have a piece sitting behind it as well. Get a hobby light to use for lighting, then go from there. If you aren't using macro, then move a little further away and zoom in. That photo was likely taken, then they used the magic select or lasso tool and removed the background and made it white.

where would i get a hobby light from?
Hobby Lobby or similar places have them for sure, Walmart may have them in the crafts department. Its just a small folding florescent light that should be around $30 or less. In reality, any good light source will work, you can go to home furnishings and get one of those 3 bendable neck lamps or two single ones and play around with the lighting angles to get a setup that you like for around $20.

Good lighting. The first pic you posted was taken with 1/13 second exposure time which caused the blurriness.
These were taken with a camera that's worth $50 now. And an external flash.
