And I Will Then Say To Thee, "You Are My Friend"

Does anyone else cry at ever story ever told about whales? With me it's a given. It all started with a forth grade birthday party where it was decided to watch "Free Willy" as a joke and I was the only one that was genuinely upset. It's been down hill from there.

But in all seriousness that Michael Jackson song at the end is the most underrated karaoke song ever.

My Brain The Illusionist

I believe that with the incredible influx of information, photos, and videos somehow somewhere in our brains we have this illusion that we've done a lot in our lives. Due to the fact that I've "seen" so much on some level I believe that I've walked on Mars, blown the horn of Gondor, ridden in a hot air balloon, and captured Jack the Ripper. When in actuality I have to work up a fare amount of courage just to get on an airplane or ask if a store is hiring. So this is a little shout to the men (and women) who actually did things. Such as walk around in the woods, shoot bears, and carry around their heads. I think that counts as doing something.

Banking On It

I know that Banksy is something I'm genetically predisposed to like, but these works he did in Africa are just rad.

Seven Year Etch

Ever since I can remember I've been fascinated by etching of animals. I love the time that has gone into the study of the creature to create such a detailed image and often by virtue of the period in which the piece was made it carries a certain reverence. The exotic animals of the world were once still a mystery to most people and existed in a blurry space between knowledge and lore. As soon as something becomes over accessible it becomes very easy to take it for granted and these days all I have to do is type "Chinese Salamander" into Google and I'll have dozens before my eyes. The idea that animals are things of mystery is almost as beautiful to me as the images themselves.
