  • 5 things about me

    I like memes. I know some people don’t but I think a good meme can say a lot about a person without revealing too much. So thanks to Sulz and Ella for tagging me for this one. Looks like fun. ;) 5 things found in your bag (I’ll use my messenger bag) Sunglasses iPod and…

  • What's wrong with my name?

    I could use some advice at the moment. Over the last few days I’ve received a couple of strange comments on an old post and I’m not sure what to do about them. The post still gets traffic and the comments have nothing to do with the post, so it’s bugging me. I think anyone…

    The modern face of racism

    Image: Racism by Temi00 on Deviant Art Has anyone seen Lost in Translation? I’ve been catching up on some DVDs recently and I’d forgotten how good it is.

  • How cynical are you?

    How Cynical Are You? Just thought I’d make a quick update as I haven’t posted in a while. I’m still not feeling well which is why I haven’t been online lately… I think it’s just a virus but it’s frustrating. I haven’t been able to answer comments yet either but I wanted to thank everyone…

  • A time of change

It’s amazing how quickly it’s gone; I was thinking earlier that it’s hard to believe we’re almost at the end of March… the year’s gone quickly, even if it has been the earliest Easter in years. I’ve always liked Easter. I’m more spiritual than religious but I like the…

  • The Galleon

    Image: Voyage by Paranoimiac on Deviant Art The GalleonCJ Levinson In my dreams I see a distant landSurrounded by a vast ocean and shadowsOn the sands of that desolate placeLies the wreck of an old galleonTall and shattered, all that remainsIs its weathered and half-buried frameA relic from an ancient pastThat no one remembers What…

  • What makes something art?

    Cartoon from See Mike Draw What do you think makes something a work of art? Is there some quality that distinguishes a painting or sculpture as art compared to an object in the natural world?
