#9. O Brother, Where Art Thou?

#8. Color Photography

If you can't read them they go like this:

1. Cloud of warmth soaring.

Personal firestorm afloat.

Paints of flame and mirth.

2. Dark, shady onyx

With backdrop of rosy cheeks

Delightfully worn.

3. Pride of the Maker.

Pure reflection of the Sea.

Cyan paints envy.

#7. Art Day

Art Day is a holiday set aside for the interpretation and creation of art. On this day, all you have to do is create something. Take a picture, draw, paint, sculpt, anything. Or simply go to an art museum and take in the wonders of artists past. Maybe you're not the most creative person. That's okay. Find something that inspires you, and ask yourself how it could be considered art. Though this holiday is an important day, it requires no decorations aside from your own creations. Share them with the world and look at others' work. Have fun with what you do. Instead of eating inside at work, buy some chalk, grab some friends, and eat sandwiches while drawing on the sidewalk. Art Day is celebrated in mid-spring because spring symbolizes new beginnings, and art always starts fresh. Art Day came about around the time of the Modern Art Era. This period brought about some of the most revolutionary artists of all time such as Salvador Dali, Diego Rivera, Norman Rockwell, and much much more. Without new ideas and expressions, we would never have Art Day. In conclusion, Art Day is really about self-expression and the importance of new artistic ideas that could bring about the next big boom in the creative world.

#6. Law

Law: Cutting in any type of line is a punishable offense.
This is an extremely important law. Have you ever been famished and had to stand in a lunch line before you could get your food when suddenly a person barges in front of you? I'm sure the majority of people have. I find this completely absurd. What gives anyone the right to be before you when you have chosen to follow systematic rules? They are not special. They do not deserve to have a place before you. You are not inferior to them. Your needs are as great as their needs. If a group of truly starving people are able to form a line and take turns to get food, then what is it that causes well-fed human beings to barge and coyly insert themselves before others? Nothing should cause that. If you were in an airport, waiting through customs, and you knew you could possibly miss your flight, does that give you the right to go ahead of everyone else that is waiting? No. There could very well be many other people that may be late for their flights too. Nobody has the right to put themselves before others, and that's why I think that cutting in line should be a punishable offense.

#5. Creepy Crawlies

Hell Hounds are rare creatures. Very few have ever been known to exist, but there is often speculation as well as few sightings. In icy tundras, where temperatures are much too extreme for humans to handle, they prosper. Their thin black bodies are designed for hunting. Sleek and quiet, they're known to approach prey with ease. They have long legs that are ideal for running and have special padded feet for running over snow without difficulty. Thick black fur covers their slender, but muscular bodies, and also keeps water from their skin. Their sense of hearing is much more intense than most other animals because they are usually partly to fully blind from birth. They have long snouts with sharp noses that hold elongated fangs. Tests have shown that their body temperatures reach numbers as high as almost 900-hundred degrees Fahrenheit. Though most live in arctic places, there are a few known to live in South America as well as Canada. It's rumored that when their body temperatures are extremely high, they breathe smoke and flames, thus the name, Hell Hound.

p.s. Sorry this was late. : (

#3. Details, Details.

I watched as the wind pushed the water against the dock. I couldn't even believe what was laying before me. I felt the way the breeze gently tugged and played with my hair and smelled the sweetness of the sea. The water was different here. It had color and vibrance. It was living and breathing. I felt proud to see how it thrived. I could even taste the difference of the way the salt hung on the air. It was tangy and sharp as it swirled between my teeth and into my smile. I loved how the spray splashed over the wall and onto my hands. They felt like a comforting drizzle, and as they dropped I listened to the sounds around me. I heard the soft thumps of the waves against the rock as well as murmurs and shouts of people. I wanted this scenery to stay ingrained into my memory forever. I had never seen a place where sea and sky were the same color. It was pollution free and full of energy. For that moment, with the wind tugging and the water whispering, it was the epitome of beauty .

#2. Edward Norton.

Sure, I like my fans. I'm sure they're all interesting people, but I also sincerely enjoy my privacy. Any celebrity will tell you that. I don't like to be in a lot of movies, not to be cocky or anything, but I would hate to become main stream Hollywood. I enjoy what I do as it is. If I couldn't take the New York subways every day because of a million fans running at me, I wouldn't know what to do. I love to act, but I love having a normal life. It keeps me sane. Especially with all those crazy roles that I play in movies. Ha, get it? I'm grateful to my fans and all who enjoy the movies I've been in. I take great pride in knowing that I've entertained people. I consider myself lucky. Life can be harsh on the famous a lot of the time, but I've managed to achieve a normal life while still being able to do what I love and be respected for it. It's great. I couldn't be in a better position than this.

#1. Deer. (Please do not reuse image)

(Once again, please do not use image)
To Republicans:
This is why we need gun control. Sooner or later the next step in evolution will take place, and who do you think will be there kickin' our asses? Not only would we see a dramatic decrease in number of deaths within our population, but scenarios such as this will be avoidable. Now, I may be "overdramatizing" with this image, but nonetheless, it does bring around a reasonable point to bring to the table. With certain gun control laws in place we could avoid a lot of harm done to our people. You are more likely to be shot by someone you know rather than a stranger. Gun control laws can help make this the past. I am not saying by any means that we should completely ban guns, oh no, they have played their part in history and a very important one, I am merely suggesting we put into effect better laws to protect all humans. And protection would be completey necessary if this image somehow came about.

To my Peers:
I am no fan of hunting. I never knew that hunting was such a huge part of the Minnesota culture before moving. I have nothing against hunters, I understand where you're all coming from (as I assume there may be hunters reading this). But one day, I wondered to myself, what if the tables were turned? So I grabbed my sketch pad and drew out this lucrid image from my mind. I found it fun to draw, and more fun to imagine such a thing. So yes, imagine if a deer got a hold of your rifle, and that this image was completely possible. What would you do? Is that crazy to think about, or what? I'd be terrified. A twisted game of the hunters become the hunted in an already twisted world.
