Here's something to cheer you
See? Just what you always wanted, pork bologna with a clown face! LOL!!! It's a 'happy meal' for adults. Happy sandwich anyway. There are many abyssmally dumb things in this world, but some of 'em do make me smile. Oh.....and I found one of my FAVORITE SITES yesterday. It's called DespairDOTcom, where the geniuses there have put together a line of t-shirts, mugs, calendars and spoofs of those smarmy 'inspirational' things you see around offices, plastering the walls- or in the hands of roaming junior executives trying to look 'motivated'.
Man, I LOVE THIS STUFF! I have to buy myself a couple of these T-shirts. Another of my favorites is in their 'demotivator' category for wall posters, and shows the silhouette of a sloping mountainside at sunset, while on its sheer edge appears the shadow of a lone climber. Beneath it, these words: "I expected times like this - but I never thought they'd be so bad, so long, and so frequent". LOL!! Pay a visit to this site for a world of smiles. And hey! If you still have some gaps in your Christmas list, these do make lovely presents for the boss. Enjoy!
One last thing that made me laugh out loud while I'm holed up here- an ice/snow/freezing rain mixture outside for all this weekend, and my poetry board's ISP has been tanked since yesterday-- how about this little bit of wisdom?
"I understand how scissor can beat paper, and I get
how a rock can beat scissors, but there's no fucking
way paper can beat rock. Is paper supposed to
magically wrap around rock and leave it immobile?
Why the hell can't paper do this to scissors? Screw
scissors, why can't paper do this to people? Why
aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper
constantly suffocating students as they take notes in
class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat
anybody. A rock would tear that shit up in 2
seconds. When I play rock paper scissors, I always
choose rock. Then when sombody claims to have
beaten me with their paper I can punch them in the
face with my already clenched fist and say, oh shit
I'm sorry, I thought paper would protect you, you
asshole."

Some images are so stunning, they take the breath away....
This one does that for me. It's the crispness, the shadowplay, the searing blue and the wafting gracefulness of that pure white cloth, blowing behind. My goodness.....I'd call this one "Annunciation", because it's so surprising and surreal. Maybe.... a wee bit scary-- but magnificent. There is no doubt of that. 'Bravo' to whomever created this wonderful, evocative thing. (Yes, found while browsing.)

Guess what?? Here's an early Christmas gift for ya......but BE CAREFUL....IT'S ADDICTIVE! How creative are you? Are you an artist, or would you like to be one? (Oh, I can draw-- I mean pen and ink, pencil, charcoal, careful rendering of what I'm looking at, but I never quite had the flair or the looseness for modern art. No Jackson Pollock or De Kooning-ish bone in my body.) But with this utility, compliments of Google, you TOO CAN BE AN ARTIST! And oh, GOD, it's so much fun!
Here's two I just did this evening-
MIASMA
QUIXOTIC
All you do is type in a word (or 'words') in the search space, chose the NUMBER of images you want to see layered and morphed-- 2, 3, 4, 6-- let google choose them based upon your word choice, wait till the screen populates with the URL'S and then wait a few seconds, and VOILA!! NEW ART!!
Wanna see it? Wanna open that gift now? Just go to net.art.generator - and start to enjoy yourself. I guarantee, you won't be able to stop! LOL!! Merry, merry!
(ok, ok.....couldn't resist. Here's what I got when I typed in the words, "sometimes a great notion"....
