Nowadays we can see all sorts of things pushed around as art and frankly, I don’t like even a quarter of them. I can’t really accept them for a real expression of emotion, not a sensible and reliable one at least. So I try to stick to more classical items of art and decor, I find them much more pleasing for the eye and soul. For example I have a wonderful metal cross wall artwork in my apartment and there is not a single person of my guests who has ever said it disagrees with him. Actually, nobody has ever said a negative thing about it. So I drew the conclusion that the classical choice is still the best choice, even after a century of great art advances and true artistic madness sweeping over the landscapes of galleries and museums.

There was this show on Animal Planet I think, called “Monkey Business” like the first BEP album. I don’t watch Animal Planet anymore so I don’t know if it’s still on, but it appalled me from the depth of my heart. The show itself was not so bad, it was maybe naive from time to time; but I just hate chimpanzees and the more human they make them look the more I hate them. I don’t like their faces, I don’t like the mimics and gestures and they get far more brutal with each other as they dare show us on most programs. They make these primates look so cute, it’s deceptive. They don’t have our ethics, they run their small societies on other laws and we should not interfere so much with them. I hate all movies with chimpanzees and bonobos.  This monkey business is none of my business, I just don’t want to know about it.

Often homeowners find it quite challenging to bring charm and appeal into their guest room’s design. In particular, if the room serves more than one purpose choosing the right design style can be even more difficult.  A great way to create a multi-purpose room is to add country cottage style using bead board.  Those of you who haven’t used bead board before can get some great ideas looking through decorating magazines or online websites. The good news is that you can achieve this charming look with minimum effort and expense.  To make the decorating process much easier and pleasant, decide first what you want to include in the guest room.

I still live with my mom and dad and they support me, because I study engineering in university and it’s not like the professors are going easy on us. The bad thing is I barely fit in my room ever since finished my seventeenth year. Judging by the sizes of my walls, nobody expected it from me. My mom is about 5’ 7” and father is about 5’ 11”, while I am 6’ 3” and weigh about 210 or 220 lbs. I’m a big boy by any standard and I am crammed up in the smallest room in the apartment, honestly! The toilet is more spacious! Whenever they complain my room is a mess I complain all my stuff is just too big to fit in properly, just like myself. To stretch after sleep I have to go out in the hallway first. I don’t know how I got so big, we have no giants in my family and furthermore I smoke since I was sixteen years old.

“Concrete shoes” is something pretty out of fashion in the crime world or so I think. It was once popular with the mafia and it meant they would make you step into a container of some kind and fill it up with cement. They would make you stand in one place until it hardens and then throw you into deep waters, preferably a sea, so you only talk to the fish about your experience. I was convinced the mafia developed more sophisticated methods for the decades passed, or maybe some more brutish methods, but imagination is not their strongest trait it appears. I saw a few news reports of people getting threaten with concrete shoes, and I heard of some even getting “the treatment” if I may call it so. The world really hasn’t changed that much in the past 50 years and it probably won’t for another fifty.

My friends organized a surprise birthday party for me. The beginning of the day was awful. I went to work and no one from my friends called to say happy birthday. That day I also had problems at work and by the end of the working day my spirits were so low. Even the rustic metal wall art present from my colleagues couldn’t cheer me up. I opened the door of my home and all I was thinking of was to eat all the ice cream in the fridge and then go in bed. Then ….surprise…they were all there screaming ‘happy birthday’ and I thought they had forgotten me.

Most university scholars have a respectable attitude towards the rest of the staff and the students. I won’t name my university, but in this educational facility the situation differs. During my first year I was persistently persuaded that my intelligence and that of a potato are equal. Some of the assistants were quite sure of this, while others were persuading us we are the future of the country and we were supposed to be great inventors and creative thinkers. So the clash of opinions was of an extreme character. Actually, I can’t disagree there were some pretty despairing students, but come on! It is very wrong to stick the same label to all of us, regardless of our efforts and abilities! Sometimes I got very angry with this attitude towards us and thought the teachers were the real potatoes, not the students.

A family friend was graduating from high-school and our families gathered for a celebration. Unfortunately for me the mother works in a winery and started bragging about the brands she offers and how fine the sorts of grapes are. Of course, to prove her point she must force on me empiric evidence. This meaning I had to try over four kinds of wine, a glass of each, and this happened in less than 40 minutes. The results were not devastating, but were pretty whacky. I took her other daughter by the hand and asked her to dance with me in the rain outside. She was kind of crazy on her own, she didn’t need wine as a stimulant, so she consented. A minute later we were laughing like mad, running straight through the puddles and spinning in circles. Nobody dared make a fuss about out little dance.

I wonder will my fiancee parents, her mother in particular, appreciate a modern piece of art. She has a jubilee soon and this birthday party will be my first chance to meet the extended family. I came across a beautiful laser cut southwestern metal art which features various gentle colors and I think it will make a perfect jubilee gift. My concern, however is that her mother won’t appreciate it. If she is like my mom, very conservative when it comes to art, then she will not like it but I think I better try. You never know, maybe I will win her heart.

Ok, what’s with all the bio-propaganda? Has the world gone crazy for yet another time? Suddenly everybody started thinking about the planet and those same people can’t even name all its continents. I’m bothered that these people judge and act and consider themselves conscious while at the same time they do not read into the information and don’t think critically. The way I see it at the beginning there were some good enthusiastic minds with a good cause. Later it all just became a fashionable propaganda and people just mindlessly repeat what’s the new trend of the year. Can they state and prove that organic products are the best and only thing to use and this is the ultimate method for growing them? I think not. Let’s be sensible for at least one time a decade and read some reliable literature about our causes.
