I chose this picture because it wants't too serious or up tight like the other pictures. This picture made me look at the faces of both women and wonder what the first was telling the second. It made me wonder if she wanted to hear what was being told. Was it gossip? Was it a joke? These are some of the things that this picture put into my mind. 

Pictures like this that catch any human emotion or action can be really powerful. They can be positive or negative or neutral. This picture was, to me, positive. It makes me think of times when i have seen that face on two girls and it is something that we all can relate to. The girls a crossed the table whispering about someone. This was a good picture for me to chose because it shows a light side of people, something that we only see a little bit.

"For several weeks now, I have been painting pictures of watermelons."
Does anyone have a problem with that? i don't see anything wrong with that. People paint pictures of fruit all the time. Sure maybe they have bowls of fruit that are elegant and small but really Watermelons are large and robust, they have a lot of vitamins and a ton of water. I think the reason i paint water melons so much is because when i was young i got into a fight with my brother. it was over something dumb like which one of us was uglier, it was immature. He was uglier. But anyway we got into a fight and he got madder and madder and then when he could not take it anymore i watched in awe as he picked up a baseball bat (we were out side having lunch) and hit a water melon like it was a zombie skull. Everything happened in slow motion as the water melon cracked, sending a splash of water in every direction, and then the juicy red rich contents of the fruit were blasted into the world. water melon went flying like the shells of a bomb. it was like magic. it was beautiful. my brother stood there panting with a melony baseball bat staring at what he just did. I was also staring at the place where the water melon had just been. A tear, slid down my cheek and to this day i have no idea why. That had to be one of the weirdest moments of my life. That water melon was totally distorted, and we did not know why that effected us so much. Thats why i paint water melons. because of my childhood.

TU Tuesday BLOG

This blog was the final blog about The Animal Cruelty blog. It is by Nicole Arciello Berhaupt and this was her one year anniversary of blogging.  This was something that grabbed my attention because although it may seem that a lot of animal cruelty people are vegans or kind of crazy and over the top, they still have a point to make. As humans if you find enjoyment in abusing animals you have some serious issues. Its bad enough to abuse humans who won't fight back, but to abuse an animal who can't fight back its just sick. Personally every time I hear a story on the news about some bozo running a puppy mill i hope to myself that in the afterlife they get locked in a room with several rabid dogs, a bear, a rabid raccoon, and ten upset squirrels. I mean who are you if you abuse puppies? Who does that? I mean you have to be like the lowest of the low to do that. In her final blog Berhaupt reminds the reader that as humans our "relationship with animals CAN be different." She also reminds us that animals, just like humans should "live life as naturally intended." A point that she didn't make which i think she should have is that humans ARE animals, and in my opinion the most un- civilized, wild, cruel and evil animals there are. If we learn how to treat everything below us on the food chain maybe there is hope that we humans can start treating each other like nice happy people.

I feel that this is something that most people would be disgusted by.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day

It is pretty obvious why we need breakfast. I mean really after eight hours of sleeping your body and mind needs a wake up call. Your not going to get far through the day running on empty. plus who doesn't like to eat when they get up. Make and egg sandwich or have some sausages. There is a lot to choose from. Pancakes, Crapes, Bagels, Coffee, Fried potatoes, Coffee cake. There is much much more. plus nobody NEEDS lunch. i mean i like lunch but i don't need lunch i can get an apple and i'll be ok.
