Weather

Cold Winter Road



What can I say? Weather where I live is unpredictable. One minute you'll be driving along, then you glance in your rear view mirror, pretending to look at the car behind you, when in reality your glancing to see if your hair is messed up, then bam. It's raining. Sounds funny, but its true. And no, to you random reads stalking me, I'm not going to mention where I live. Only those of you who know me, know what I'm talking about. Feel honored. What really sucks is when you go to work expecting no rain, so you don't take a rain coat, but then it just happens to rain on you. Marvelous yeah? Luckily for me, my job provides me with a rain coat. All I have to do is hang it on my chair and wait for it to rain. Which it just so happened to do today. However, I did not get a chance to break it out. Bummer. That's all I got, or as the African Americans like to say, that's all I gots for now. Later.

The Scream

Something that has sparked an interest in me is paintings. Take the one to the left for an example, It was painted by a Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, depicting an agonized figure against a blood red sky. What the figure is screaming about is the question yeah? Some say the figure is screaming about some stressful event that has occurred; another possibility is that the figure is covering his ears because of someone else' screaming. I don't know about you, but it gets me wondering what the painters original intention was.

Another thing that's of interest, is that most of these famous paintings have had a eventful history behind them. Meaning they've been stolen. Figuring that "the scream" painting was worth $50 million dollars, I guess you can say that it was worth stealing for art thief's. This version of the painting was once stolen in 1994 and then re-found in 2004! That's ten years of stolen time!



Anyways, from time to time, I will post something meaningful. At least things I think are meaningful.
