This is outstanding. You are really good with values, and you could become a painter. The design is well composed too. Portfolio. Make more.

Hell no, I CAN NOT paint. Like it's tragic how bad I am.
Hopefully I will get my essay back, I really liked that drawing.
I had a four or five hour nap when I got home today, just an idea of how sleep deprived I've been this week. Haha. Wow, I can't even believe it's been a week already.

Yeah but you made it, so remember that.
You will paint one day. You just never gave it a good shot. If I started to learn, so can you.

I'm trying to do a bit of water colour, but I haven't had the time. It's really hard to get contrast with that stuff. It's really hard to do anything with it.

SylvanSmith In reply to DancesWithShadows [2013-01-12 06:07:38 +0000 UTC]

You can watch tutorials on youtube, and there are plenty of people on DA to ask questions of. Water color you have to build colors. Technique will open doors of expression.

I like to figure things out on my own, I'm not exactly itching to learn how to pain anyway. I'll have my charcoal and eat it too. AHA.

When you are older you may regret never employing it. It can be your greatest friend. It is easy to to work at leisure, but time is your most valuable asset. You will wish for more of it. Make the most of it.

DancesWithShadows In reply to SylvanSmith [2013-01-12 06:44:29 +0000 UTC]

My goal is to not wish for more than I get, 100 years should be sufficient if I make the most of it.

I doubt anyone from my family will be left- except my nieces and nephew- and of them, I think only my nephew will be there. By that time my Chinese mail order bride will have absconded with my measly money, and I will need someone to light me up.

Marshmellows taste good. I savor their evil when I eat them.

I never liked them. I just liked setting them on fire.

You need roast marshmellows and eat them. I never had smores though. Am I deprived?

No, s'mores aren't that great. I always gave my marshmellows to someone else.

What do you roast on the fire then?

I like it- to a degree. You better get used to it- and meat, if you want to head to the far north.

DancesWithShadows In reply to SylvanSmith [2013-01-12 23:49:42 +0000 UTC]

Buddy, I'm not eating meat. Get over it. There must be more than meat to eat there, people get sick if they eat only meat. I'm not going to live there forever, maybe I will just move to Hudson's Bay. They have something called summer there. AHA.

SylvanSmith In reply to DancesWithShadows [2013-01-12 23:55:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that is where Hudson last explored. We have the Hudson river here. That is where Sleepy Hollow is- around where the river begins. They have more of a summer there. But if you go to Florida, they really have a summer, and manatees- that eat flesh of murderous boaters.
XD Meat is often tasty.

DancesWithShadows In reply to SylvanSmith [2013-01-13 00:35:36 +0000 UTC]

It's the only point. Everything else is in resolution to cognitive dissonance, or personal opinion. "I never liked steak wrapped in bacon." Yeah right, and we all like to think we never liked to suck on our mother's breast, but bitch that's all we thought about for months!
Disgusting thought, right? So is meat to a vegan.

It only becomes sick when we are older and weened.
Lions like meat-and so do wolves, and bears and dogs,
and satanic chipmunks.

DancesWithShadows In reply to SylvanSmith [2013-01-13 01:09:16 +0000 UTC]

You missed my point, we no longer like meat because 1) we've grown accustomed to not eating it and 2) we've changed our minds to believe we don't like it because we won't eat it and feel it's wrong to. That probably made no sense, but I'm not writing an essay right now. Thank goodness.

Or like getting belly flopped by a whale. Well, actually they are dolphins, but whatever.
You know, I'm not actually sure what the difference biologically is between a whale and a dolphin, because there are bottle nosed whales that look like giant prehistoric dolphins, are they actually dolphins? And then there are pilot whales that look more like dolphins; but then there is the difference between baleen whales and toothed whales, which brings me back to my original question of what makes a whale a whale and a dolphin a dolphin? BUT THEN, sometimes when someone says whale they mean whales AND dolphins?!?! Am I the only one who thinks about these things???
Lovely song by the way. AHA.

You have no input on the whale-dolphin issue? I figured I was the only one.

SylvanSmith In reply to DancesWithShadows [2013-01-13 02:39:59 +0000 UTC]

I forget whatever biology I once knew. I would guess the categories have been determined by some criteria that at the present time I am unaware of. Therefore, I don't have an opinion.
