A birthday dinner, not mine thank god
Not ready for another year older
Just waiting for spring.
I am not ready to be a girly girl yet
I like the cave aspect of winter
Stay inside
No bikini needed
No razor shall be dulled
In the perfection of this girl.
So much money saved all winter
Am I rich yet?

Do I have to wear a dress? Really?
How about those thigh high boots?
Now that would be my salvation.
No? Hmmmmmm…..
I think I feel a cold coming on, maybe I should
Stay home and hang with the dogs,
They get lonely after all….
Humph ….ok, I guess I’ll go shower,
It may be awhile,
Get the band aids ready just in case…..
Do you have the sheep shears handy?

It was a very busy time and I really, really, really miss you all! Below are the 2 Animation video I made in the school. And 4 new hand drawn arts.

“Is God Dead” these are…

Nicely told.  Dallas Buyers Club is about a partying, drinking, drugging, gambling,  sex addicted cowboy who tested positive for AIDS.  Back in the 80’s the stigma was awful and information limited.  ATZ was the popular treatment, which actually did more harm than good.   Watching this cowboy’s life unfold was pure genius.  Matthew McConaughey portrayed this HIV positive cowboy brilliantly.  I didn’t know what to expect from this movie, especially since I had no idea what it was about.  I was schooled on so many levels and found myself extremely emotional due to his plight and the plight of many others who are going through living with this horrific decease.  I think Dallas Buyers Club is a must see film.  I won’t say it’s entertaining, given the subject matter but I will say it’s intense and informative.  Dallas Buyers Club is most defiantly worthy of an Oscar, I say…

Some people are firmly rooted in the belief that graffiti is a crime.

They see it as vandalism of someone else’s property. They label the artists as scumbags and degenerates.

Yet they fail to see the blatant beauty and sometimes shocking social statements that these artists choose to exhibit where everyone can see them. On buildings, street signs, phone booths. It’s EVERYWHERE!

And it can’t be ignored.

Humans tend to overlook the obvious. They don’t want to see the truth. If it’s by choice or not, if you love or loathe graffiti, these artists are very bold and can’t be missed!

These artists don’t want you to see they want you to look!

So I looked…
