What's Gonna Work?


As a child my favorite parts of flying on an airplane were the takeoff the landing, and the Biscoff cookies.. The sense of exploration that came from leaving home and traveling somewhere new always exhilarated me. To this day it amazes me that something so massive is able to fly millions of people wherever they need to be each day. This would never work without the people behind the scenes making sure everything runs smoothly. Not only the pilots, but the air traffic controllers, flight attendants, bag checkers, security guards, and many more people work very hard to make it all work. The result of all of these people working together is the ability for us to soar through the air thousands of feet above the ground and go virtually anywhere we desire. This sense of teamwork and efficiency can be seen all around us, even in something as simple as a local restaurant. If it looks like someone is in need of help don't be afraid to offer your aid to them, as more often than not it will be greatly appreciated.

A Lawnmower's Purpose

Image
The very first scribble. Some would say the most important scribble of all. Simple, yet clear in motive and direction. My aim here was to create a stunning piece reflecting the woes of traditional society. The absence of a person controlling the lawn mower exemplifies the autonomy our society is trending towards. The grass behind the mower is shorter because it has already been cut. The purpose of a lawn mower is to mow lawns. This one is doing just that. This scene could very well be in a future society where inanimate objects are free to do what they want - what their purpose in life is. If there is anything I would want you to gain from this scene, it is to get up and find your purpose. Do what makes you happy, not what other people say will.

Happy Superbowl Day!

Image
Today is the most important day of the year. It's Superbowl day! The whole football season all leads up to this. 32 NFL teams start out, but one by one they fall until there are only two teams left.These two teams then duke it out in front of over 100 million people watching. Once a team has won they are indisputably declared the victors and masters of the NFL - at least until six months from now when the season restarts. The extent of my knowledge comes from Madden and my amazing freshman year PE teacher (shout out to Mr. Dygert!). This goes to show how everyone has different learning methods and that is okay. All methods of learning should be accommodated to give everyone a fair shot a getting the education they deserve. If you see someone struggling, try to see things from their point of view, and you just might learn something yourself.

The Crayon Box Illusion

Image
Crayon boxes were a major source of contention back in my elementary school years. There was a wide range of crayon ownership and a class system of lords and peons seemed to develop naturally because of it. At the bottom of the hierarchy were the beggars that had to borrow crayons from the class. It was hard to stoop lower than this, and was also extremely humiliating to do so. Next up are the 6 crayon box people. These people were often too shy to ask for other crayons out of shame for having only six crayons of their own. This level is analogous to that of farmers. After that came those (including myself) with the 12 crayon kit. This was the middle class where most of the students resided. Next up were the 24 crayon users, which is where the upper class began. A couple kids always had the next step up, which was the 64 crayon box. These boxes demanded massive amounts of respect. At the very top of the monarchy was the King (or queen). The one kid that had the box with over 100 cray...
