A Family Nobody
Does anyone out ever feel like they are a family nobody? Actually, this is about me and that is how I feel 95% of the time since moving South. My sister moved me and my mom down here to help my mom, but underneath the reason was to try and get her first daughter's now ex-husband out of the house for he was lazy and not a really nice type of person some would say two-faced most of the time. It has now been 12 years since moving down here and my mom has gone to heaven and now, I am pretty much alone.

Birthday Parties
What is a birthday? Birthday parties is how we celebrate the day that someone was born, and I know that we all know that but does the person really want to celebrate that day or would just like to be remembered on the day of their birth. We all do not like being the center of attention and I am one of those that would like just to be remembered somehow. I do not want cake or presents, but maybe a special card would be nice though. I know that I am or was a teacher and they are the center of attention in a classroom but that really is not the same as someone singing Happy Birthday to you and you really know that they really do not want to be there.

Why Rich Kids Lack the Virtues of the Poor
Recently, I had a conversation with a colleague of mine. Upon conversation, the topic of our future arose. We pondered extensively on what we wanted to improve in ourselves. I wasn’t surprised by his quick response. He exclaimed that all he wanted was luxury (clothes, networking, mansions). Now, my colleague has always been a man of envy. Since we met, he has been throwing tantrums about all the sports cars and luxury brands he adores. On certain occasions, he would compare his clothes to mine. Whether it was for validation or a deep stem of insecurity is unknown. But, his overall persona is the pinnacle of consumerist ideology.

Book reviewing
For the past few years, I have been a volunteer book reviewer for several online sites. Honestly, I was looking for a paid position to review books for say Publisher's Weekly and a few other companies, but they have never let me know one way or another. Being a book reviewer, one learns a lot and it does get lonely at times as does being a freelance writer but that does not bother me. Books are great company for me. Books are our friends.

Cody Ko's Allegations Are really bad like bad bad.
Whenever I get to YouTube it seems that Cody Ko has been covered by some of the biggest reputable Youtube community for past days since a youtuber D'angelo wallace made a very compelling video about Cody Ko's past and this time its something that is not that positive because the kind of allegations he that has propped up is something that can really kill or end a Youtuber's career given that we have seen such examples like Dr Disrespect been dragged by the online community of his past weirdo behavior.

Butterflies
"Butterflies" is a page from an adult coloring book. I used crayons to fill in the designs. This could be a worksheet for preschool or kindergarten children or even could be used in a special education classroom. The children can count and match the colors of each butterfly. How many orange butterflies? How many blue butterflies? Count the antennas of all the butterflies. It could also lead to a nature/science lesson. Please comment.

person
'person' is a pencil sketch that I did trying to show action of some kind. It is a sketch using my version of Cubism using cubes, squares, triangles and rectangles of various sizes. I see a person trying to throw a ball of sorts. I wonder what you see and I hope to read some comments that I would truly appreciate. I have more pictures and color art posted here on Vocal in ART and CRITIQUE. If you are interested in seeing more of my artwork I have published several coloring books and an art book at 'artwanted.com'.

This is a story that involves vampires, humans and werewolves and once again try to bring all these factions together to live in peace. Is that going to be possible?
