Pop a Wheelie

Motorcycles tend to travel in packs or gangs. They mob the streets and show their dominance over those with more than two wheels. Not this one, though. This one travels alone, exploring its own path. Perhaps it once had a gang to belong to, but no longer. The bright red paint clearly shows the deep pain and betrayal that still torments it from its past gang. However, it has mostly recovered or at least found something more fulfilling. It is doing a wheelie, proud and confident. It isn't ashamed to part from the norm and actually finds redemption in exploration. None of us should be afraid to try new things. Do what you want, how you want, where you want. Unless its immoral (which is a topic for another day). If you feel like popping a wheelie, give it a shot! You have nothing to lose.

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.

We Love the Earth

Image
A wise man by the name of David Andrew Burd once said: "We love the Earth, it is our planet We love the Earth, it is our home" I think most people would agree that they do love the Earth if the question was imposed upon them. How could someone not love something so crucial for our everyday life? The Earth has shown us love for a very long time. It provides our air, food, water, shelter, and so much more. These are all things we often take for granted. Many - including myself - forget how lucky we really are to live on such a beautiful planet that does so much for us. There is an issue brought about by this ignorance, however. Over time humans have taken advantage of this planet thinking only for themselves. This has resulted in the climate getting warmer, forests being burned down, and pollution being commonplace. Our actions as a species don't only affect us. They affect all other life on Earth as well, and we do not have the right to ruin the lives of other i

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.
