Jesus Kept A Diary
Yes Jesus kept a diary how do I know is it because the bible told me so? No the Internet told me so. But I've read it wrong before having been mistaken only to look the fool on the Bill Wattenburg show when I misread a web site thinking the Mona Lisa went up for sale but as smart and informed as he is he corrected me I'm sure that such a painting is in museum. Researchers such as myself can make mistakes. What are your conclusions dear reader did Jesus Christ really keep a diary? I believe he did. Tell me if I am wrong. If so many Christians worship the son of God and he kept a journal then good golly I'm not so strange and laughable and an idiot like my acquaintance/friend called me when I told him a true story. But like Jesus who was crucified I didn't feel so good when my integrity was under attack I confess I'm not the best story teller there is other wise I'd be mentioned in the Wikipedia in depth I'm just a small timer someone as persecuted I say as Ann Frank my people died by the millions in the 1930's up into the second World War but yes this is all behind us now let us get on with our lives let the historians deal with this matter. But there were reasons for the racist slurs hurled toward people of my ethnicity in as much as I thought at times I was just like anybody else a human. If you have read this blog imagine the New York Yankees a dynasty being regarded at one point in their history as being the scum of the earth and you will know what I mean. Let history be known China has done it and they can do it again when I do not know. Some say it is absolutely just around the corner an Asian did much younger and smarter than I am by far he answered my question without hesitation that China will become the number one economic super power of the world. I don't know it has been so long a time that people of my ethnicity have been impoverished that I could never see the light. Am I too far gone?

My Own Design I Love It
This wasn't entirely traced I had to make it up myself being my son took the computer away leaving me with nothing but a sketch piece of paper I had started from a monarch butterfly. With my photo gone I just decided to make up the lines and angles and give it the computer enhancement makeover frankly speaking I like it better than any Picasso masterpiece I have traced this image is published in my main blog called "Nerves Galore" a blog about online chess all one has to do is google "Nerves Galore" the image of this blue Monarch pops up and you can click on that image and the web site for "Nerves Galore" is presented the whole blog and nothing but the blog. If I don't say so myself yes this picture is absolutely beautiful I am proud of it please I wish not to brag but I must have been in the zone doing all the right things at the right time which makes up for all the stupid inane mistakes in my life. This is the picture of my origination my own design. My point is that I could not obtain a legal picture of a dwarf hamster without possible copyright infringements but this Monarch butterfly will do it is the same beauty of a hamster. It cannot and will not bite where as the bite of a hamster will not kill you only a sting from a sting ray may kill you it did kill Steve Irwin. I love this drawing when I pass on I want this picture embossed permanently on my headstone or on the cover of my blog or book or used as a symbol for the power and glory of China's next dynasty with me giving the words and explanation as to the meaning of the rise from the ashes of destitution and humiliation to a potential destiny of a great dynasty of economic significance as experienced in past history. It is not just for China to benefit from world peace and prosperity but for the entire global world. Democracy shall be the goal for America but what will it bring for China? Stay tune.

Creatures That Can Kill Humans

The Internet stories say that hamsters can bite and draw blood despite all the cute pictures of humans holding them in the palm of their hands. And yes they look so darn cute even cute enough to bite the hand that feeds them. Didn't that Aussie put his face up to King Cobras and laugh at death? He did. I cannot recall him putting his head inside the mouth of a tiger but I would not have put it past him. Would not he laugh at me for being afraid of a little hamster smaller than a mouse? He would. But I did recall a sting ray like the one you see in this picture stung this poor Aussie to death a big news story four years ago. I'm not putting my head into the jaws of a hamster no sir. Call me chicken but I want to live. And by the way who needs to trace pictures anymore? I can get the real deal!

Black Cats Are For Halloween
Halloween is long over but the black cats do not go away from my domain. They come to my door step for hand outs but my wife shuns them thinks they are not desirable creatures; they only want food not affection like our gray and white cat named Oreo a gift from God I'd say who represents good from evil. Black cats are not evil in my opinion for they kill the gophers. But this black cat I took the pain or pleasure to draw from a photograph is evil and should never be taken in as a pet in any ordinary residential household it can potentially without question eat your children and you for it is the black panther or the black jaguar a wild beast which belongs in the jungles never in the suburbs or urban areas but of course. This black cat is not your common ordinary household cat. I thought a great deal about this cat as I drew it studied it contemplated the mayhem with which it would play had I imported such a creature. In the jungle it is magnificent in my backyard it is a disaster waiting to happen God forbid.

The Power And The Glory
The sketch I drew is from a photograph a view as I interpreted. This added image to the April 22, 2010 entry illustrates the picture of Hitler one of the most recognizable portrait of the 2oth century the lead Nazi Adolph Hitler who wrote a book of his dreams and goals and for a good while he was accomplishing his plan. The plan on the contrary for China does not parallel that of Hitler by any means and there are many men who have written their plans for China in the world arena. I have not come to know them sorry to say. But I know what I think as a commoner among the masses. China is rising to power but I'm not going there; I'm not saying it. I'm just a mere observer not a leader of any country. I just follow the leaders of my country and bow before the authorities who rule over me. Am I pious? I'm more than that in every humbled way. But enough of that. Let there be China in as much as it is a hated nation which in the minds of many should never be where it is now. It has risen from a nation of humiliation and impoverishment to a nation of cheap goods flooding the world market and ruining the entire world economy. Do you know why we are now in a worldwide recession for so long and it isn't getting any better? Doesn't it appear I write so bitterly about China? I think I do. I do so because China is my fatherland and it is my dream that it can do better as it has done so well before but was forgotten; no one remembers in the mainstream media that China was once a glorious nation with a magnificent civilization and dynasties beyond what we can imagine today. It can do it again just as the New York Yankees demonstrated it has the power and the glory in having a first rate pride in championships year after year a dynasty in the sport of baseball. China can and will rise to power just when I haven't a clue but I sense it I feel it in my bones China is within me I am from there many generations ago it is in the power of me to know that country even though I do not speak that language but I can tell you in English. Am I speaking of the insanity of it all? Yes the whole world did go mad when it devoted itself to worldwide violence and the development of tools of mass destruction never conceived of until now.

Through The Eyes Of A Tiger
I've news for you. A well drawn hand made picture is worth more than a well taken photograph it pleases me to draw from a photograph and make or draw pictures using my own interpretation of the images I see or perceive. The best tiger story to date that I can recall is the one in which a tiger escapes from his captivity at the San Francisco Zoo and kills a bystander where the tiger leaps over a barrier far too low to contain any wild animal let alone a tiger. Any domestic cat as many of us know can leap a conventional six foot backyard fence as kittens to gain freedom from an enclosure. Grown tigers such as this one can leap much higher with the power of a killing machine no human is a match no matter how skilled a human can be in the martial arts when it comes to tangling with a tiger. Focus on the image of this tiger and you can see the fierceness and natural ability to kill at will any humans unarmed.

A Small Miracle At My Doorstep
Dogs were said to be man's best friend growing up in the 50's and 60's but it appears cats are in the running if not already in the lead. This kitty came one day out of no where sat itself down and played himself there was nothing to do but look cute and friendly which is what he was and is. So what's so newsworthy about this so common news story? For all the evils and corruption in this world a good thing happened it just came out of no where. What a small miracle.

The Dawning of Pictures
I've managed to ad pictures to my blog for without pictures there is little effect there is truth that a picture is worth a thousand words a picture can say it all. And videos? Don't get me started. A famous video I know not of except for media purposes which exploits the wrongs of authority types such as the beatings of Rodney King. But the inclusion of pictures as an illustration to the words I form is an omen of a vast proportion good in every respect it can do no wrong but good. Live life to the fullest I say and let there be hope and promise in every ray of sunshine. Now if this isn't being an optimist then I don't know the meaning of such a word.

China The New Power House of an Economy
Where is the state of the economy of China going? I've often pondered this question myself and I do not for the sake of me know. Do you think just because I keep a blog on China I am an expert on this matter? Yes I did the same kind of thing Bill Gates did and that was drop out of college. The difference between Bill Gates and me is billions of dollars he has it all I have none of it. So why listen or read me? You don't have to in fact I urge you to go away don't read this blog it's only a journal anyhow a fancy diary about the news on the media I review and on occasions call up on as a volunteer news talk show caller to the talk show hosts the professionals who rely on their ratings to keep their jobs. Now I leveled with you. You could be much higher than I or down to my eye level how high or low you are to me depends on where you are. I think I may be having something going for the both of us but don't read this journal if you do don't say I didn't warn you. You're not going to be the same person you are if you do read this blog. Stay focused Journalism Reports. You are now in my control.

Quality or Junk? Made In China
We all heard of cheap shoddy products made in China. That may be true. But an exception from what I have looked into my money says Stihl brand name chainsaws are the best brand name chainsaws from what I've read on the Internet. I've spent considerable time reading various reports and find this to be true. Am I wrong? What do you think? If they the Chinese could build The Great Wall of China and still have it stand to this day and be a great wall I'd say give them a shot it's quite possible they have built a great chainsaw Stihl. What I'm saying is that the Chinese have the potential of getting better at building quality products from cheap and shoddy made ones to quality made ones it's not an impossible mission like it has never been done before when Japan started out making things in the 60's? I'd take my chances on a Stihl made chainsaw if I had to buy another one.

Ethnic Asians Are Said To Live A Long Life
I've heard it before whether ethnic Asians live longer than other ethnic groups may or may not be true one can draw their own conclusions. I thought the goal of a democracy was equal opportunity for all including the pursuit of liberty and yes a long and healthy good life for all peoples whatever the ethnicity one may have. I met my mother's caregiver a few times thus far of the some five years or so that she has been her caregiver. But she gives a convincing account of my mother's prognosis this I cannot deny. She has anywhere from a few months to six months before she reaches the other side. Her ethnicity is Chinese having been born in L.A. mostly having lived in the Oakland San Francisco Bay Area I do not have her exact dates, places and events down to a science as I am not a historian as my father before me was. I've kept many of journals and this one called Journalism Reports is merely one of them in blog format. I am a writer of the news as I know it only on a voluntary basis no one tells me what to write and I work for no one but myself I only tell the stories from my prospective. Born in the year 1912 of the month of March the same year the Titanic the ocean cruise ship went down at sea sunk by an ice berg and taking in water enough to sink her. She was born when model T Fords ruled the land and horses were not so rare a sight. She knew her young adult life and lived it without television until later in her adult life she has accomplished what most people could never do but like I say I am in the belief that to brag of her long life would be bad luck based on my father's life who also live a long life but in his final years suffered from all the old age ailments that older people can get. I shall forever hold my tongue.

Within The Law or Cohabitation?
Cohabitation or a completely different topic on living within the law is on my mind. Which one will I choose? I can only comment on one at a time. Maybe at this time I ought not touch any one of them with a ten foot pole. Sounds a little like Johnny Carson no? Take someone I know for instance the name not published in order to protect the innocent. He hates cops. Law breakers usually do don't they? This is a good place to stop my banter we wouldn't want the innocent to be judged guilty. A word from the wise in this case happens to be my mother which states don't say anything about anyone ever when being published. My mother is old and can't do many things anymore but she still possesses wisdom. So what is my point? It looks like the topic of cohabitation won out I'm ready to discuss it but in one day think again it takes more than one day to examine it but in essence cohabitation is a dirty word it speaks for itself. The question is raised and cannot be ignored when it comes to the issue of domestic violence. I shall speak and write about this issue living within the law will come another time.

Rescue Dawn The Movie
Why did I see this movie called Rescue Dawn when I rarely see movies nowadays? Because my former neighbor from my childhood days of Frisbie St. from where I was first born was featured in that movie Galen Yuen. He recently had e-mailed me recommending the movie as this was one of the movies he has been in as an actor. It was very well done not the movie people are ranting and raving about as I know it. When it comes to movies a movie reviewer I am not but this movie Rescue Dawn was quite good I can clearly see it as being one of my favorites from day one I compare it to the famed movie director Stanley Kubrik who directed my all time favorite "Full Metal Jacket" another movie about the rigors of military training it takes to fight a war in Vietnam. My review of this movie Rescue Dawn will not stop here. See it I was impressed and this is pretty good for not being a movie regular viewer. My prediction is that I will see this movie Rescue Dawn many times over quite the excellent movie line I had been searching for. To say it was very entertaining would be an understatement. It was much more than that.

In The Day Of My Mother
She reached her ninety eighth birthday not long ago. A year earlier I went on as a caller to the Christine Craft talk show on KGO radio 810 and spoke about my mother having reached such an advanced age. Interesting subject matter I say. I was asked how it was for my mother to be able to reach such and age. She doesn't ride skateboards anymore. But it is fantastic she could reach this age as I related to Christine Craft. I shall not brag please as my belief it is a sin to do so having seen my father suffer in his later years at the age of eighty nine from age old ailments God showed him mercy when he was allowed to pass on to natural death. My mother never did receive a college degree but she did receive ninety eight years of life and then some and that in itself to her is an accomplishment. I recorded my conversation with Christine Craft on the air played it back to my wife and she was delighted. I trust I did not err.

The War IN Afghanistan
Oh boy. This isn't an easy subject. You think writing about war and peace is easy? Pat Thurston speaks. I know nothing about this place but there is a war going on there. Playing the video game called Call Of Duty is better to engage than going into real war situations. So why may you ask am I writing about this subject as if I'm in a political science class in college? I was never totally adverse to school and college. As for the horse races yes one of those races happen and the sports writers and commentators don't have to worry about me taking over their jobs. I did draw a fine picture of a few horses however and yes some were traced but oh boy it was fun to do it at the time. Even if it is tracing a commitment was made to see and feel the lines and see the colors fill up the picture within the borders of the subject. People love pictures and for what it represents. I thought I was suppose to write about war? I must be wide awake.

Hobbies And Pastimes Keep A Soul Alive
Discovering varied hobbies can keep a man or anyone alive. Enthusiasm does it giving one the will to live out ones life. My philosophy in life is that we can live out our lives accordingly. It doesn't have to be a life of tragedy. Wish upon a star you don't have to see so very far it is closer than you think go ahead and blink before you know it the ball will drive in to sink. I could get the Pulitzer Prize for poetry one day you think go ahead give me a wink!

The Most Famous Drawing Is The Mona Lisa
This may or may not be true most people I know might agree. My first portrait I drew was from a photograph and yes I like what I drew as much as I do the Mona Lisa. Now how do I suppose a complete unknown who doesn't even think of myself as an artist can think of such thoughts of delusion? It is possible I can show pictures of what I have drawn in this blog it may just be a matter of time. Recently I learned how to send digital images or pictures in my e-mails. The Mona Lisa is worth a fortune so regarded in value it cannot be sold as it is priceless. What is my price for a portrait of Tia Carrere valued as? It has no value and I don't get it. That is correct I don't get anything yet I like the picture as well as the Mona Lisa if not better. Am I delusional? I better not go there.

Adolph Hitler And His Journal
Mein Kampf was his blog. He had an agenda and it rivaled Ann Frank's diary the victim of his thoughts and beliefs. I've had a longer span of years in life no brag just a notation and I pray that my life will be a good one or shall I say I'm an evil person and will finish in a winner's circle after all if there is any truth that nice guys finish last then I shall be evil and be a bad guy and be a winner. Don't mind me this blog belongs in my other blog entitled the News Is Of My Opinion and I'm just messing with you. I've no ambition or goals to be a famous and God forbid an infamous person I'm merely a mortal who writes blogs and proof of my not being famous can be seen in my profile views. The numbers aren't up there. I can live with that. But I do have visions and thoughts of China as an entity a civilization; does anyone know what time it is does anyone care? You can read my blog and you don't even have to care. They are only my thoughts. Who cares?

Up At Three To Now Ungodly Hours
At least I was able to win over a 1351 rated player his time ran out his attack upon my turf was very good a real threat but I held for him checkmate appeared imminent but I defended pretty well his one long delay cost him the game but I held out and waited a long long time for him to move. More confidence in my ability to move up the ratings numbers will do it and then a game for ratings in hopes of moving higher in ratings can be pursued I'm still folding in certain games but then again it never takes a genius to enjoy the game the drama the life and death of a game the joys but yet the grief of the day in the life of a chess junkie.
Who Says The Chinese Can't Sing?
Everybody knew this was true up to a point that the Asians cannot sing and I cite William Hung as an example I didn't say it Simon Cowell did in front of millions when he sang in a contest. But that was then. Enter the dragon and no I don't mean Bruce Lee God forbid the stereotypes of the demonstrations I've been asked to do in martial arts but yes I can shoot a crossbow. All I have to say is three words; Lin Yu Chun. If anyone has a chance to be an international sensation it is him. Who is he I never heard of him you might say? Google him you will know. Jewish people cannot sing? Wrong! Witness Barbara Streisand. Black people can't either. No I didn't say that. To see that in bold print is the dumbest sentence a mortal could ever write! Okay how about broadcasting yourself on the radio and saying how come Asians make the worst singers ever and I did say that once on the Ronn Owens radio show some years ago when he had a star contestant on his show from the popular television show "American Idol". This has all come to a change when the entering dragon Lin Yu Chun took the stage. Could I be wrong again?

opponent rated 1190
I had too many holes in my game but my opponent rated 1190 had more in his game! His attack looked good an ominous one indeed and if could proceed to take the lead and live the greed but I think he got scared and I won't say the P word here but he was not coordinated my defense was pure guesswork just intuition and in this game of pure skill you need more than that more skill and executed moves like the machine playing computer programs than guesswork and he blundered handed over his queen and I did hesitated a bit but only for a few seconds and a split but moved before he could take back. I even blundered and lost my queen but I was so far ahead it didn't matter. Chess playing machine computers with their own computers never blunder in their chess playing programs any more than calculators do. I barely could play at an advanced beginner rating my opponent played with a blunder beneath the thunder it left me at a wonder way down under. A little poetry or rap talk mixed with this chess blog and into the twenty first century we are. If I left you in the fog don't be sitting on a log I know I need to lose some weight I'm looking like a hog it is time to get my car and smog as the air if filled with filth and we need to keep our health!

The Beast My Drawing
I haven't added pictures to this blog I have clues as to how go about it. It can happen. The great artists in time I have in mind as I have seen their drawings. I'm only the common man in the public and make observations from that perspective far from being a celebrity I am. I can see what you do but even bring them closer to you these great artist for it is in my interest to see them as an inspiration as I draw pictures from the depths of my heart and soul. Every picture has meaning to me that I draw they become part of my collection and some I give away to those only who I think can appreciate my drawings otherwise no give aways for my eyes only. Of course the more views if at all I can get then I say why not? Don't we try for things that we can be the best at? One of my drawings is of a beast commonly known as the T-Rex a dinosaur Cliff Jung was able to identify. It is a distortion an abstraction an alteration from a photo as many of my drawing or some of them are. Some are traced while others are not. The main crux of this entry today follows; The beast is here to feast on those with the very least it could be living in your yeast or from the East but if you are lucky and wise and smart it could go away and cease it cannot be for lease better for it to be decease. Isn't rap nothing but yap it is good for taking a nap?
Three Men At The Mailbox Gone Down
Sounds like something from a movie called Three Men And A Baby this title no? Well I didn't see it but heard about it. The movie played over a decade ago how time flies. Anyhow there were three of us older men who have seen the fire and the rain in the years we have transgressed. We have arrived at that age where wisdom is our hope to live any kind of life with some dignity life doesn't have to be a living tragedy. Cannot we live out our lives and have the gold and go for more? Our fallen down mail box looked like a man gone down made to be restored or condemned for scrap but looks like the fix it man of the immediate home area opted to restore mail box structure or face the no mail gone with the gale you fail in your heart with a nail and face the jail with the pain and ail if you are out of order in excesses of rail. If you are confused do not be alarm this entry is merely an abstraction of life at the mailbox restore or replace or die with no mail Dale.

Young Man Jumps To His Death
We mourn the death of Marie Osmond's son who passed away only eighteen years of age. Hearing it on the radio was one thing but getting immediate reports from the Internet at the engine search hit home fast to read it right after the radio news report was a sudden impact for me bringing me to near tears something I don't easily do. Spending all morning drawing and coloring with meticulous labor the Statute of Liberty was engaging I wanted to show the final results to a family member but she was intently listening to the news. I'm trying to find some clever saying but when the time comes the words will find its way.

JD Salinger
Nerves Galore is another blog of mine that lately has turned into a chess blog. I write about the famed author not knowing he passed away some four weeks ago. Holden Caulfield was at question and the information came flowing as to the death of Salinger. I wasn't even certain as to his still being alive or not. The man the myth the legend and creator of his famed book "Catcher In The Rye" has died oh me oh my yet I do not ask oh why a natural death it was there need no reason for the cause I stand here with a pause.

The Greatest Love Song Sung
Valentines Day is over a week old. If you are already in love and can't get the event out of your mind think of the tune and the lyrics to the sound track of the 1971 movie "Love Story" the theme song. Rick Astley sings it on You Tube and he's very good as the top vocalists and I love that clarinet musician in the background he plays a mean clarinet he rips into my soul and makes it fine. Some of the greatest vocalists have sung that tune. I know the lyrics and the tune but I don't have any ratings. I was first chair out of 26 clarinets in yester years in the school orchestra but that was then I do marvel at what some of these contemporary musicians can perform my dreams of playing like them are pure fantasy only in my dreams they are so great.

Second World Power The Coming of China
I'm not a professional journalist but as a volunteer I deal with them as an amateur I must have my wits about or suffer the consequence and I must account to all those who know me for what I say or believe. The news is only of my opinion and I wonder what is yours. China in my opinion is not a third world power anymore most of us know this but as far as a superpower as seen by those who I have polled I disagree China does not seek superpower status nor does it want such achievement and I cannot see it arriving to such status. If it does achieve such superpower status then it will achieve a power far in excess that I would have ever dreamed it could become. I still believe it cannot and will not do so. For China to succeed is not beyond my wishes and desire for that nation. But for it to become an aggressor nation I do not believe it is their nature to assume that role. I always knew China as a humbled nation one that has suffered immensely certainly more so before I have seen it in my life time. It therefore is an ancient and wise enough rising power to an extent a civilization which is destine to share whatever wealth it may have with other nations of the world.

Leonardo Di Vinci
The human possibilities boggle my mind. If it is news and captures the attention of onlookers even if it is history then it is news. Go to France to the museum where they house his painting get inspired look at the Mona Lisa then look at my drawings and yes. There is no comparison just as you cannot compare my chess game to that of the great high rating chess players or my tennis game to those elite. But I can be inspired by those of fame and point to them and say see there goes Van Gogh better buy those vans than a Toyota. Yes Father a little humor can hurt forgive me as I know what I do. It is the most famous and expensive drawing in a single view. Such a drawing is within the cob webs of my mind and I am inspired to draw the pictures of my inspiration as I see fit. So you see his pictures his drawings I will study and view and even appreciate as I go along in the world of drawing call it art if you will but a more accurate description is merely a drawing nothing needs exaggeration for I remain humble in my endeavor to make a picture I cannot bare to suffer anymore illusions of grandeur.

Panda Bears Are In
Yes they are. Everybody loves a Panda. Go see one. I did. In fact such a picture of a Panda makes me groove and swoon to the beat of the music. In my collection I have such a drawing having completed it in my spare time when I'm not sucking up the dust with my cleaners. It's a cute pose with the Panda's head tilted and cocked nibbling on some green vegetation clearly not in an attack mode like my other animals I have drawn with their teeth bared as if to say they are prepared to eat you whole alive better for you to be kicking and screaming as you become devoured in a most gruesome manner. Panda bears are the cute ones they aren't seen as killers or hunters save for fish every now and then is it the ears which stick up upon their large heads that is so appealing? Such a sight of a Panda bear as I just described can take away a good deal of the stress and strain of doing taxes or doing battle in a chess game. May all the zoos of the world take on more revenue and more Panda bears it is the mascot of China for good will and peace and prosperity for all good nations to receive may a thousand million flowers grace our world.

Pedro Nunes
That anyone would be a follower of my blog I say thank you Pedro Nunes. I think it is my drawings that attract the readers of this blog so far more than any other topic although it can change. Maybe later I could get more responses to the game of chess but isn't the sight of pictures much easier and appealing to the masses than trying to understand chess? Drawing a picture of The Great Wall of China took me a lot of time and detail more so than if I were to draw by hand the Overland Hotel as seen in the movie The Shining. Take pictures or photos it is much faster with instant gratification than if drawing pictures by hand. However drawing by hand pictures will never become obsolete. Tell that to the buyer of art work worth millions per painting. I'm not as ashamed of my drawings any more than I am of the drawings of Pablo Picasso.

Talking To An Engine Search
No sane man talks to an engine search but I do. Sane men just don't do it. In the future it will be more common place as computers will be so far advanced from now as they are becoming that their linguistics will be parallel if not as advance maybe even more than the best human orator that we humans have at the present. Talk to the computer then and they will teach us.

Looking At The Picture
I noticed the great artists have the words to go along with what they draw and yes an explanation goes ever so well with a picture. One day perhaps sooner than I can hope for my pictures I have drawn will appear in this blog. I simply don't know. Stay tuned and bare with me. Anyhow I can describe what I have drawn and my reaction to its creation any picture I have drawn. I am not an artist although my neighbor accused me of being one. Am I insane? Vincent Van Gogh was said to be insane and two insane people who draw is more than enough. I have no bragging rights to being an artist it is just a hobby. You can say I like to make pictures and a San Francisco former art commissioner received my drawing of a tulip with a black background and we discussed it in brief over or on the air. He received it. His name is Ray Taliaferro a local night to morning KGO news talk show host.

Mark McGwire
Read all about it. McGwire confesses. Need I say more? Jose Canseco came out when he retired and wrote his book. It doesn't sound so much as an exaggeration that just about all the baseball players he knew used steroids. They all denied it. I Robert of Hercules never used steroids! No one can prove it either. No one would suspect me either I was never the player anyhow.

Van Gogh
His drawings certainly caught on no doubt in my mind and yes his works are one of the most expensive on the market. I've sent a few of my drawings to people I know after all a picture is worth a thousand words. It does make an impact. It really can. Van Gogh had his interesting colors brilliantly displayed as reported. He didn't draw as many as did Pablo Picasso but his short lived life as an artist made him as famous as Picasso. Do I dare compare his art work to mine? Well....yes I do and you can laugh all you want yes he has the ratings in terms of the money his drawings fetch while mine has zero dollar amount with which my drawings can earn but for the first time this year I like my drawings as well as his. I'm looking at the engine search here to explain these ramifications. I can send them out to people I know or post them up on my walls in my house and for the first time this year I have not the shame I had before 2009. I even sent a drawing to a San Francisco talk show host Ray Taliaferro an art commissioner but no brag....sorry for if I brag the end results could turn up in disaster. I could go down like a flaming comet or asteroid. That wouldn't be any fun. But drawing a picture of such an event of a body going down in flames? I'm thinking. Now could that be?
