The above picture is a painting I’m currently working on. The changes I’m thinking of making are to: lengthen the table a little more, change the color of the table cloth, highlights to the woman’s arm to reflect the glow of the crystal ball, and even out the base of the crystal ball. I’d also like to define the floor a little more. Right now it looks flat and cartoonist. I’d also like to brighten the area up around the candlesticks to create a glow.

Thankfully, today I didn't have to bust a cap in the ass of those feathery goons. I had the fan on (brrrr) and thus a peaceful nights sleep (zzzzzz).

It’s hard to believe that the first day of summer is two weeks away. The weather we’ve been having lately has been cold and gray with intermittent showers. It’s felt more like Seattle around here than Baltimore in the summer. We had a little relief this Monday when the sun finally came out. Oh, well, I suppose this is better than going through a draught.

Todays writing prompt is to imagine you’re a speech writer for any president in the history of the United States. Write a speech for him to give during an important moment of his presidency.

The inauguration speech of George Walker Bush

My fellow Americans I come here today to admit to you that the rumors are true. I am not the rightful president of the United States. The election was fixed. I know that what I did was wrong. However, there is nothing you can do about it. So you better all just sit back and shut up because there’s a new sheriff in town.
