Art
Today, my work forgot about me, and I forgot about my homework. Figuring out my life is very troublesome, and I guess that itself is life. But the simple things take more time to contemplate then the big adventures.
For example; how do I get into the mood of writing about Jean Paul Marat for history while I'm having difficulty avoiding my dog's sneak attack farts and feel creative failure?
Sure I've done some crazy artwork in the past, such as The Onion of Life, and The Lemon-Hive, but I feel like the whole worlds singing to me "Your still disappointing" - Circa Survive. Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of my artistic abilities.

The Onion of Life
The Lemon-Hive
I guess I'm just waiting for that one inspiration that will keep me up all day with a paintbrush in my hand, and hopefully wont interfere with my homework.
Chicago.
I recently traveled to Chicago, and man, was it ever amazing! I think I've always been a supporter for Eco-friendly items, but more than that, I'm a supporter for new innovative Eco-friendly solutions.
Here are a few:
1. Garden or grass rooftops
2. The downfall of shopping malls in the middle of no-where surrounded by acres of pavement
3. Fuel emissions lowered by a strict standard
4. More community open grassy/park spaces*
5. Less fences
6. Keep concrete to a minimum
7. Build UP
8. Make use of non-damaging forms of energy (solar panel + heat)
9. Improve recycling systems (paper)
10. No more mass suburban development on unused land
* If the government bitches about not having enough space in an urban/suburban community, tell them: THEN MAKE SPACE!
Well, we can't all exist in my communist dream world. *sigh* -.-
Back to Chicago. I thought it would be a big bustling city, and it is, but it is one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen. Although they did have some of the largest wastes-of-space buildings, I give them praise.
I guess in the 80's they started to remove the mass industrial buildings from along the lake shore, and now it is a beautiful blue surrounding the city.
If only my Toronto would do the same. I think Toronto's fatal mistake is trying to jam as many condos along the water front as possible. Great buildings, but hideous location. Now no one can see the (dirty) lake unless they buy a condo.
I'm not asking for a revolution here, I'm just asking for a little force of Government to take control and save what we have-because honestly, sooner or later with too much building development along our great lakes, and we will all look like we live in the city like in Blade Runner.
