Good Things

Ok, now that you've been depressed I'll try to cheer you up. Here are some good things:
1. Obama's acceptance speech: If you haven't watched it yet, do so now! It's pretty good.
2. Yes Man: Hilarious comedy starring Jim Carrey. Here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v730wlOp9QY. Oh and if you haven't seen The Truman Show, do so!!!! It's an incredible movie and I can't believe I had missed it until two days ago.
3. Mall Story: Back in Production!!!! That's right work has resumed on the story, although some cuts have been made. It will be a smaller work, more of a precursor to my biggest project: Elementum. I'm hoping to get Mall Story done soon, with a good title.
4. School starts tuesd.... oh wait not happy. ummmmm Memorial Day is Monday!!!!
Alright that's it. Well have a good weekend everyone and i'll be back soon!

Animal Cruelty


Two horrible things were brought to my attention today. I had heard of one but thought it was a joke. The other, I did not know, but still appalled me. The first: baby seal whacking, a new "sport" in Canada. What is it? It's just like the name implies. This "sport" is about whacking baby seals. I don't want to even go into this, all I can say is if you want more info, google it. The second is extremely sad and it pains me to even share this story. But the world MUST know about this. An artist named Guillermo Vargas Habacuc took a stray dog in from his streets in Spain and turned it into an exhibit. The exhibit? he tied up the dog in an art gallery and let it starve to death to show how sad it was that there were so many stray dogs. When I heard this story I thought "WHAT????? HOW DOES THAT PROVE THE POINT?" He says he's making a statement but he's really being a hypocrite. Here's what should have happened. He takes in a stray dog and brings it to the art gallery. He shows it off in it's current state. Over the next few weeks he feeds and nurses the dog back to health. He then returns to the gallery with the now well fed and fit dog. He then kick starts a campaign to help the dogs there with some help from PETA. So why didn't this happen? I honestly don't know. All I can say is this cannot be ignored. Above is a picture of the dog. Maybe if more people know about this, it can be prevented, so spread the word.

Random Thoughts

Well I warned you it was coming.... so here, for the very first time: RANDOM THOUGHTS!!! yay..... anyways, here goes. I saw something pretty amazing yesterday. On the way to the airport i saw a sunflower growing in between the road and the cement median. It was incredible to me because it just stuck out so well... sadly I don't have a picture. It was a nice reminder of life and it made me think of the U2 song beautiful day. Next thought is this: Pierce Brosnan singing is the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Not even joking I laughed so hard.... just look it up somewhere if you don't want to see mama mia. So here's a fun link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rds_ljcVn-o At a wrestling match the fans go a little crazy.... seriously, it looks pretty painful. Well thats it! See ya later!
