Okay, so after stressing me out all last week about my freaking student loan payment and then tossing my nerves and emotions like a fine chicken salad then shaking me down for my bank information the collection agency has still not taken their pound and a half of flesh out of my account. Why is that? I feel like I’m being dangled and I have a stress bubble creeping up my spine. Is this how fishing bait feels? I don’t think I can use live bait anymore.
Maybe he’s crying because he can’t play the guitar. Hell, I can’t either so don’t sweat it dude.
Looks like he’s really rocking out, to what I don’t know. He’s holding a walkman, so probably something old school.
“Scientists are trying to find out why kangaroos don’t burp much, in the hope they might be able to lower greenhouse gas emissions.”
So, basically they are trying to figure out how they can use what goes on in a kangaroo’s stomach to reduce the methane causing sheep and cattle farts and belches.
Interesting because this is the first I’ve heard about the non gaseous quality of kangaroos.
She’s front and center in the courtroom where the Texas polygamist hearings are being held. It’s pretty rare to actually see the artist behind these sketches, they’re so behind the scenes. So what do we know about this woman? According to her bio, 1976 to present: Courtroom Broadcasting Artist and freelance Illustrator working as courtroom artist for national and international broadcast news agencies illustrating noteworthy trials including the Oprah Trial, Waco, Oklahoma City Bombing, Selena Murder Trial and many others for ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Fox News, the BBC, SIN Television, Germany, Telemundo, API, Reuters as well as local television and newspapers.
Quite a resume, and a very successful artist.

Can you believe that this was drawn in ballpoint pen? If you think that’s impressive, look at some of these.
(You’ll have to scroll down to see, trust me it’s worth it)
I used to use a ballpoint all the time during high school, college and then boring work meetings. Ballpoint pens are easy access and cheaper than dirt. The good ones are the cheap ones and the best paper is doodle paper or any other porous paper like newsprint or bar napkins. There’s something very freeing about using cheap materials which can lead to new discoveries. It’s a no sweat way to draw. If it sucks throw it away and start over. No biggie.
Of course the artists featured on this site probably didn’t use a Bic and I’m pretty sure that ain’t doodle paper.
I signed up as a fluke to see what if anything it would do. The jury’s still out. http://www.squidoo.com/cravensworld
What’s sad about this scenario is that it is true. Gas could be as much as $6 a gallon and we would still have to pay up. Much like your utility companies, it’s a modern necessity. All the bitter tears won’t change
that because eventually you’ll have to go somewhere in your car. Cars don’t run (well not yet anyway) on well wishes and air.
