Museum worthy I swear

I am sure at some point in time we have all felt like great artists. We did everything the best of the best and no way we could do worse. Then one day, after putting down our pencils and brushes for a long while, we pick them back up. You say you just really want to do something, create something amazing. Sometimes you even go out and buy brand new supplies because it has to be perfect.
So you get home, new charcoal pencils in hand. You get out some brand new, clean white paper, and you sit for like 7 hours just trying to figure what the hell you should draw. Looking at all sorts of websites to get some sort of idea because you really need something great, something to make up for the lost time not doing any sort of art. Finally after the hours of searching for an idea, not even an exaggeration this is after at least 2 hours, you find the idea. A majestic ferocious beast. Something so great that it would come to life at every full moon, kinda.
A wolf, not exactly a werewolf but same difference I suppose. For me I started this masterpiece about 2 hours before I actually figured out what to draw. I sketched it all out, started darkening the lines. Eraser marks everywhere, making every line the exact way it needed to be. Shading in some areas, making some lighter, others a little darker. Finally, finished, all finished at last. It really only took like a total of 4 hours no more but still finally finished. Its a piece of shit. Really it is. All that work for a piece of crap but you might as well make the most of it right? Maybe just make it look even more and more interesting. Add some speech bubbles here, add one little splash of color there. Maybe even draw in a little bit extra to give it more pzazz. 
Finally. After all this work. After all the rework. You have a great masterpiece of somewhat beauty and somewhat sarcasm. It all works though. After all it is art right? I always say if you can see it it must be art. Have you seen some of the things in museum? They look like a five year old drew it at free time during their regular kindergarten day. How on earth can some scribbles be worth a few million and your beautiful shit masterpiece only a few cents? As long as you see it as something of true beauty in the end rather than just crumbling it up and throwing it away it will always be worth it in the end.  Someone in the word will appreciate your art, even if its only you, its still someone. So there you go, after all the work a piece of shit came to view but its just as great as you imagined, just a different sort of concept.

Good read

                    If you have ever read a good book, it is hard to put it down. It is hard to ever think that something could be just as good or even better. The words just wrap around you in a kind of warm blanket sort of way. A good book keeps you interested, keeps you reading for hours, hearing the people go on and on about the issue at stake. You become someone in their little world that they know. You learn to see how each place looks, how each person looks, even know their personality. Be a part of every little adventure they go on, follow every trail. Then you hear that your favorite book is going to be made into a play, a musical, a movie. It is honestly really exciting but at the same time you have so many questions. Who is going to be the lead role? When is it coming out? Will they actually follow the book? What if they leave out a huge part? It can be stressful all up until the movie finally comes out. Everything you had been waiting for. You know the people in the movie, you’ve seen the trailers, but now you get to see if it is going to live up to the book. The theater is always packed the first week the movie comes out. Everyone has been waiting just like you, they have to see what they have been waiting for. The movie either ends up being a huge flop or a great success. Sometimes the movie gets completely off on a tangent of something that either wasn’t in the book or it just skipped over a lot of important little details. Or maybe it even just didn’t include some of the characters, it ignored some of the characters little quirks, either way it is not what you wanted at all with the movie. The movie ended up being the biggest mistake, either there should have been a different director or it just should have never been maybe into a movie at all. On the other hand sometimes it ends up a big success. It had every character, every little quirk and detail. They even got the colors exactly how you imagined it. Nothing could even top the movie, except for one thing. The great warm words that spoke to you first, in the book.

Live long and prosper

                We go throughout life living the way we want and all hoping nothing out of the ordinary will happen. We even don’t think that it will happen to even anyone we know. Everything will be completely normal till the end of your lives. Sometimes, something does end up happening though, your life might not even be normal anymore. Maybe there was an accident, maybe someone passed away, or maybe someone was diagnosed with an illness. Anything that happens it doesn’t seem real or you don’t know what to do. Then again, you move on, you keep on living. Maybe even live everyday as your last because honestly, who knows maybe it will be. As long as you carry on and forget about the problems that happened, the worst thing you can do to yourself is continue to think about the issue. Hopefully everyone can carry on but remember those who couldn’t any longer, even though they lived everything to their fullest.
