Will it Blend?

The age old question: will it blend? Many objects in this universe will in fact blend. The blender doesn't care what is put inside, all it knows is to try its best to blend that object to a fine, indistinguishable powder or mush. The reason it doesn't decide if it wants to blend something beforehand because it has no conscience. Every human has a conscience, but it can sometimes be confusing or difficult to identify. This can be seen in the feature film Finding Nemo. At one point in this movie, Dory incorrectly identifies Marlin as her conscience. Marlin decides to roll (or swim) with it and tells her they haven't spoken in a while. I only now understand that line after many hours of scribbling. The lesson here is to try to listen to your conscience as you go throughout your day, don't ignore it like Dory.

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...
