easily distracted...

I decided to start my Spring cleaning early in hopes to encourage warm weather to head our way. Unfortunately, it brought an ice storm instead... sorry St. Louis, my bad... I'm quite the pack-rat, so I was rather proud of myself for throwing out/getting rid of a ton of crap that I won't need when I move (for those of you who don't know, I'm moving to Boston in September. Surprise!). The cleaning process always takes longer than it should cuz I get distracted by art books, photo albums, notes/cards from people that I love, essays that I have written, shiny things. I came across this reply to a letter a friend had sent me. The P.S. of the letter had asked the question, "How come cows don't fly?". This was my reply. I don't know where I come up with this crap. It's one of those "shake my head in disgrace" moments, but it still made me laugh. Enjoy.

Reasons why cows don't fly:
1. It would be harder to get milk due to the fact that the cows would be flying south for the winter. And we would have to resort to goat's milk or soy milk.
2. Trees and telephone wires are not that strong.
3. If cows could fly, pigs would want to fly, too. And if that happened, many unlikely things would start to happen. Example- guy asks girl, "want to go on a date?", girl replies, "yeah, when pigs fly."
4. The "cow" scene in Twister wouldn't be as funny.
5. Car and home insurance rates would increase. Think Windex commercial where the crows fly into the glass windows. Think hail damage is bad? Well, cows don't leave a simple mess that a car wash would fix...

Day of Fun at the Sculpture Park...

Kim (my lil sis), Jon (Kim's boyfriend), and I went to the sculpture park a few days ago. It was a good time; we took over 60 pictures, many are freakin' hilarious. Here are just a few pictures from our day. Enjoy.


Isn't my sis a little cutie?

Me and Kim doing our mock version of Britney Spear's perfume commercial. Sidenote: we didn't plan the whole "hand over mouth" thing; great minds just think alike. Kinda scary...

A random pole in the park... but I made use of it...

It's one of those "easier to get in than out of" situations...

I hit my head for this shot. It wasn't worth it.

Continuation of "Day of Fun at the Sculpture Park"...


There is an old proverb that says, "Keep your eyes on the sun and you will not see the shadows." It's probably cuz you go blind. Good idea, genius...

My impression of a groundhog. I did see my shadow, so that means that global warming is taking place. Isn't that how the story goes?

Me and Kim, trying to be "one" with the art.

This... is me...

We were pretending that we were getting attacked by the branches... but I was never good at pretending... looks like I'm laughing... but I tried really hard...
