Greenbacks: A Conspiracy Theory.

I don’t know about everybody else but I feel like the money I earn is burning a hole in my wallet. I have been keeping up the news lately and I don’t like what I have been hearing. First they said that there is going to be a spike in meat prices due to some cause in cattle numbers. That means that the hamburger on the grill is going to be more now. Secondly, correct I if I’m wrong but I heard that the makers of Hersey’s chocolate is raising their prices also by ten percent. That may not seem like a lot but that’s a dime to a dollar or a chocolate bar. Third topic I would like to bring up is the rise in gas prices. It seems like I blink and now it costs three dollars to a gallon. Sneeze and it is three fifty, take a breath and now it’s about three seventy five dollars to the gallon. Right now I know that it is cheaper to fill up the bottomless tank with 2%milk at the moment. I don’t know whether it is due to inflation, increased demand, or aliens from mars. All I know is that somebody has their hand in my wallet. At least it is better than hearing, “oh our poor economy.” Oh on a off-hand note, not related to any of this. I find myself wondering why when I heard this news report, “We are checking Illinois for radiation, which might have come from the Japan Tsunami disaster.” Why??? Well they say they found trace amounts in milk and grass clippings. So??? Well they said that they are just small amounts, found in everyday life. WHY ARE YOU WASTING MY TIME!?!?!

Hmm...Art?

Now I cannot declare myself an art fend but everybody can appreciate art now and then, whether it is Macaroni art to the works of Di Vinci. Well I recently found myself surfing the internet looking at a cool and strange arts of the viral world. One of the strange arts that I came across would be three dimensional chalk arts on the side walk. This is where a talented artist puts time and passion into a slab of concrete. As I look at these colorful eye teasers I begin think of what a shame it is, one rain and the entire canvas is erased. All of that time wasted, oh well not my problem. I find myself looking at optical illusions because you can’t believe what your eyes are seeing (really). Mostly I find it a quite nice time killer. Below I have posted some pictures I found on the internet. First, Here is an example of some cool 3d chalk art. Second, Look at this, actually the lines in the middle are set straight, crazy.
