"Oh Violet" by Toy Horses

Remember those Dalek shirts I talked in an earlier blog?...Well, I got asked by a friend if I would sell him one, because he wanted to buy one for a Birthday gift. But this friend is a musician who writes really really pretty songs (Toy Horses). And I have been doing art trades with other artist - shirts for shirts :) - and have enjoyed getting their art work over getting their money. So I thought it would be way cooler if we did a trade. So, I sold a shirt for a song! Adam was totally game!!!!!!! The song is sssssooooo amazing I am making him a shirt too..

I think this is the most AWESOME trade!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Here is the words to the song "Oh Violet"


Lyrics:

Oh Violet, I thought you knew
you were someone who
Was running always from love
cos it all gets too much
Oh Violet

Don't think life's a lost balloon
far from the girl who,
beneath, alone now it seems
looks up at the sky and weeps

Please Violet, Oh Violet
Oh Violet, I know
Oh Violet, I know

Oh Violet, you don't know how
much I need you now
But I will get through to you
if it's the last thing I do
Oh Violet

Please don't talk that way
Your heart pretends to stray
but it won't go far away
Oh Violet

Oh Violet, I know etc

Here is the video of him recording the song he wrote for me <3>

DP REEL

So I'm at my film class on Thursday and my teacher asked me into her office...I go and sit down and she goes, "So, why didnt you apply for the Director or Producer or Script writer positions? I thought you would want to do one of those..." "For starts, I have a group of "the lost boys" who happen to be the rowdy bunch of "the lost boys" in my group so I don't really want to have to play Wendy and be responsible for them ruining the film...also I gave you my script for the film and you didn't like it....and for producer i don't want to do that...." I told her. Then she goes to tell me that she picked the director and its damion.....I DO NOT like my director....he is an idiot. So after she tells me that i have a sucky director, she asks me "...if you don't want to do any of those then what do you want to do?...I would like you to be apart of the core group....." I told her I wanted to act but I could do Director of Photography if she wanted me to.... She goes well you better do a DP reel for me...and oh yeah by the way....you probably wont get the position because you were DP last semester....BUT I still want you to make me one!!!!..... So here I am WITH my DP reel.....I hope you enjoy it!! :)

The Duck

A duck walks into a pub and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich.
The barman looks at him and says, "Hang on! You're a duck."
"I see your eyes are working," replies the duck.
"And you can talk!" exclaims the barman.
"I see your ears are working, too," says the duck. "Now if you don't mind, can
I have my beer and my sandwich please?"
"Certainly, sorry about that," says the barman as he pulls the duck's pint.
"It's just we don't get many ducks in this pub. What are you doing round this
way?"
"I'm working on the building site across the road," explains the duck. "I'm a
plasterer."
The flabbergasted barman cannot believe the duck and wants to learn more, but
takes the hint when the duck pulls out a newspaper from his bag and proceeds to
read it.
So, the duck reads his paper, drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, bids the
barman good day and leaves.
The same thing happens for two weeks.
Then one day the circus comes to town.
The ringmaster comes into the pub for a pint and the barman says to him
"You're with the circus, aren't you? Well, I know this duck that could be just
brilliant in your circus. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the
newspaper and everything!"
"Sounds marvelous," says the ringmaster, handing over his business card. "Get
him to give me a call."
So the next day when the duck comes into the pub the barman says, "Hey Mr.
Duck, I reckon I can line you up with a top job, paying really good money."
"I'm always looking for the next job," says the duck. "Where is it?"
"At the circus," says the barman.
"The circus?" repeats the duck.
"That's right," replies the barman.
"The circus?" the duck asks again. "That place with the big tent?"
"Yeah," the barman replies.
"With all the animals who live in cages, and performers who live in caravans?"
says the duck.
"Of course," the barman replies.
"And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the
middle?" persists the duck.
"That's right!" says the barman.
The duck shakes his head in amazement, and says . ...
"What the hell would they want with a plasterer??!"

giant inflatable turd brought down a power line after being blown away

A giant inflatable dog turd brought down a power line after being blown away from a Swiss museum.

The artwork, entitled Complex Shit, was carried 200 metres on the night of 31 July, reportedly breaking a greenhouse window before it landed again.

The sculpture, by American artist Paul McCarthy, was equipped with a safety system that should have deflated it.

The fake faeces has been returned and will remain on display at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern until October.

McCarthy is well known for his inflatable artworks, two of which - Blockhead and Daddies Bighead - were displayed outside the Tate Modern in London in 2003.
