Happy Madre’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day to all those beautiful mother’s out there, as Jamie said, “you still got it.” I don’t know how Mother’s day was spent in any other households, but mine was dedicated to my grammy – she’s a strong, God-fearing woman and I love her so much. On Mother’s day, my mommy kind of put everything in retrospect, that even though my grammy faces so much adversity, she knows how to call upon the Lord for help. I can honestly say she was always religious. But what can you expect from a “old school” Jamaican. Even though I’m not as religious as I should be, I remember the first gospel song my grammy taught me, well us (my brother, sister, and cousins, as well), Can’t Even Walk. She deserves all that she was given on Mother’s Day, family, edible arrangements, roses, and ballons. Happy Mother’s Day! Enjoi your day ladies.

April Showers pt.2
Remember, in the last article labeled April Showers, Igot the idea to take pictures out my bathroom window. Well, I did the same thing on another rainy day. Yesterday, April 21st. By the way, today is Earth Day. Happy Earth Day! I took the photographs around the same time as the first time to get the same lighting. The leaves are almost or even fully grown in just two weeks later. April Showers!

Surreal: Concep
I’ve been trying NOT to write an article about this picture, for no particular reason, but I’m going to anyway. If you don’t know, I made a post on this artist on my old blog, and ultimately it inspired me to get back into drawing. As a result of the painting, I took a studio art class the following semester.
Long story short, this is my favorite painting. I have the jpg saved to my computer background, as well as my cell phone background. I always enjoy looking at this painting! I’d buy it! Imagine walking into my studio and you see this hanging on one of the walls. Imagine. Anyway, I call visual tranquility. Concep pleases my aesthetic in this painting; he uses a lot of cool vivid colors and some high color-contrasting. Cool!
Check out the old blog article on Concep here.

Wake The Giant
This week and weekend was a little hectic; I didn’t get what I need accomplished along with other miscellaneous things. However, I hiked Sleeping Giant, embedded the design on Musiq’s Myspace Music page, helped setup the stage for the Spring concert(article coming soon), met a friend, and chilled with the homies. Sounds good! This week, I was a little more “Earthy,” I hiked the mountain, and played on the field all day; I have this slight phobia of standing on grass, anything other than concrete cement for that matter. Anyway, I enjoyed the weather and good company.
More photos after the jump.

Video: Wit and Whimsy
Watch this phenomenal video to see a fully grown python kill and eat a deer. I find this interesting every-so-often. Life is so primitive in several aspects. I feel like I could write a paper showing how analogous human interaction with its environment, sociology, and wildlife, primitive behavior, can really be. Or maybe my mind is just wandering…
Seriously, are the many aspects of life Whit and Whimsy? In my design research I read, “Wit and Whimsy: intelligence, humor, double entendre, and folly.” From esoteric homage to downright goofiness, what is the intelligence and what is the goofiness in our lives?

What’s Your Ecological Footprint?
So I told you I been slowly assimilating my self into the “go green” lifestyle. I try to be more environmentally responsible; I recycle all my magazine subscriptions, bottles and cans I accumulate throughout the week – I’m turning off TV’s and other energy needy appliances, and so-on. April 22nd marks the Green Generation Campaign, I think everybody should try it.

THE GREEN GENERATION
Earth Day 2009, April 22, will mark the beginning of the Green Generation Campaign! This two-year initiative will culminate with the 40th anniversary of Earth Day in 2010. With negotiations for a new global climate agreement coming up in December, Earth Day 2009 must be a day of action and civic participation, to defend the Green Generation’s core principles: Family with windmills: Renewable energy for future generations.
- A carbon-free future based on renewable energy that will end our common dependency on fossil fuels, including coal.
- An individual’s commitment to responsible, sustainable consumption.
- Creation of a new green economy that lifts people out of poverty by creating millions of quality green jobs and transforms the global education system into a green one.
Earth Day
I saw this text effect tutorial through Good-Tutorials and I felt this image perfect fitting for the topic. I did the same effect/design with different text for a project at work today, which was also fitting for the content of the project. And I also admire the design as well as the simple steps in creating this effect.
Earth Day 2009 is just a month away and I’m getting a little excited. Slowly, I’ve been trying to assimilate myself into a “greener” lifestyle. I’m looking forward to some of the events throughout the city. Earth Day 2009, April 22, will mark the beginning of the Green Generation Campaign!
