Music

My New Luke Bryan Album
Just ROCKS!  It includes the #1 hit Crash My Party, Ghost Town, Blood Brothers, That's My Kind of Night, Dirt Road Diary, and more!  I got it on Amazon on disk, but downloaded it on my computer in my home-blended "Country" re-mix:

• Miranda Lambert's Gunpowder and Lead Single
• Gloriana's (Kissed You) Goodnight Single
• Two Taylor Swift singles from her album Red
• The Jake Owen Days of Gold album (which happens to be my favorite)
• The Dirks Bentley album Home
• And More!

I've been collecting my favorite songs for ages, but also getting rid of the old ones that I no longer like.  It's quite perfect by now.

Random Question:  has anyone heard the Luke Bryan song Drink a Beer?  It's one of my favorite, but it sometimes makes me cry because it's a very...deep song.

'K,  I have posted.  I feel justified.

Birdie!

Drawing anytime, everyday
Keeps the least of artists in the best of skills.  Even a quick sketch that you hastily have to erase off your math test is enough to keep in touch with your drawing skills.  If a drawing has potential, keep going with it, even if it is for a school assignment or otherwise.
I did this small drawing* while making a timeline card on the shogun system in Japan (the emperor is revered, the shogun rules) and went full out with it.  What do you think?

Bird: yellow and grass green

Flowers: tomato orange, hot pink, baby pink

Branches:  red-brown and tan

The artist has left the building.

Free

Winter Break!
My new school is the bestest, we have all kinds of breaks:  Christmas break, winter break, easter break, spring break....  Anyway, I'm currently on break.

I feel so free, but all this annoying homework is blocking my path to wonders untold.  Math project...science fair...english report...history assignment...music worksheets....  Adults fail to see what the point of break is...to take a break.  It's quite obvious really.  I do four weeks of school, the I get to take a week off...to do more school?  No.  I take a week off to relax, spend time with family, draw, design, post on my blog....  Shouldn't break be a time to let go, rather than get more up tight?

My lunch is ready, have to go.

Wisdom

I stumbled on
This interesting website that I would like to share with my readers.  It is called "The 50 Most Important English Proverbs".  It shares wisdom with it readers.  Want to be one of those wise readers?  Click here.   You really should read it.

My personal mottos (since we're at it):

If you're smart enough to think you're dumb, then you're wrong.
Home is family.
Go slowly, check your work, and measure twice for best results.

Toodly-doo!  (my new farewell)

Poem

A Maid's Song:
In the time of knights and chivalry,
   My dress would fit in perfectly.
In the dust and dirt of my gran's attic,
   My hat can sit and get many-a tick.
I have no proper clothes to cover me,
   I have no proper shoes as you can see,
So take me in,
   And with a grin,
I'll do your dishes,
   And cook your fishes.

Nature

The beautiful wonders of
Nature just makes me love God more than ever.  The fact that the Creator makes such beautiful things and it's so inspiring.  Glaciers, beaches, rain forests, butterflies, hummingbirds, blue gravel, marble, golden rivers and grey-green alligators - they all amaze me with their grace, beauty, and power.

I know that some people do not believe in God, but take a look around you.  Every inchworm, every grain of sand are detailed and perfect in their own special way.  I personally think that the following story is not very likely:  a whole bunch of chemicals (that came out of nothing) make a speck of dirt (out of nothing) and then the speck of dirt blew up (for no reason really) and made the expanse we call the universe.  It's not a very convincing theory.

I personally believe that only a intelligent being, a being that can know all, can do all, and can be all could have made such a perfect world.  Let's not destroy what he's made.

My Life

A Good* Friend mentioned that AF Bratlife
Is lacking in "life" so, let me give you a quick update on everything that's been going on here the last few months:

• I got another upper-90%'s on my report card
• I got a wiiu for Christmas (yay!)
• We got the news that we are going to be moving to New Jersey in late May
• Both me and my mom got really sick, then got better (back to back too)
• I'm tired.

Now you are all caught up.  :-)

I have been reading the Harry Potter series again.  For those of you who don't already know, me and the Harry Potter books have a notorious reputation.  This is my ninth time reading them, except for #7 which I skipped the first time.  My mom does not approve of this habit, and I have a feeling that she's going to try to "spring" a new series on me soon.  It's too bad, because I already have a long waiting list of books begging me to read them.  After the Harry Potter series, I'm going to read a series about what the end of the world might be like.  Then I have tons of short stories that have been calling to me for years or have lurked in the dusty corners of our library shelves for months.  In case you haven't guessed, I spend about an hour to two and a half hours reading every day.  Maybe that's why I have such a large vocabulary (including wonderful words like blustery, extraterrestrial, and diaurnal)

Ok, I have to go.  That is my life.
