Bird into a Lizard WHAT?!!!

Birds do not turn into lizards if they eat a lizard.
Just doesn't seem possible.  The theory of macro evolution seems a bit far fetched.


That is all I have to say for today.  I can't get into details about macro evolution because I know too little about it.  

I had an 1 hr and a half conversation who was at the science center basically a non believer if Isaac Newton theory of gravity and Darwin's theory of evolution.  I believe in both Newton and Darwin.  I guess there are still people who don't believe in that this day in age 0.0
This person really shouldn't have gone to the science center half of the museum deals with evolution.  All his opinions were based on what he had learned on the internet.  The internet is full of non researched articles based on opinions. Oh people the internet isn't always the best place to learn things.

Sketching week 2

I have not been able to draw much this week I have been rather busy.  This week has been rather eventful I have even busy during the evening hours.  I was not able to draw as much as I wanted but I still managed to squeeze in some quick drawings.  Next week I'll will draw some more. 
This is are some of the drawings I did 

I will hopefully post more entries next week as well.  My head is full of ideas of things that I want to post on here.  

I didn't even know Pandora played Korean music haha

Drawing Doodles and Oodles

It shall begin!  I will challenge myself I will not get better if I don't practice.  
I like to draw and the career that I studied is based on drawing.  I do not want to animate per say but I do want to be part of the creative side of it.  I have not given up on the idea of working in a studio one day.  Things don't always go the way you plan them but just because there are bumps in the road that temporarily obstruct your path all you have to do is find a way around them and get back on the path. 
I have been drawing but not as regularly as I should.  I do not work (I really wish I did) but I take care of my mom who has many needs.  I am really busy despite the fact that I don't work between going to dialysis with my mom, taking her to appointments helping her with things she can't really do which is basically 85% of the things, taking care of daily house duties and running errands I don't really have time to myself.  
I do draw but not as I used to.  I honestly probably draw sadly once a month.  Lately I have forced myself to drop what I'm doing at since there housework is never ending and just starting to do things that I want to do.  I have made a schedule and so far it has been working.  
I have started drawing regularly but I have to say I am rusty and that is frustrating.  I have been having a hard time drawing since basically I have had to start from the beginning.  I have decided that I will post my drawings once a week on here just to keep myself on check.  Even if they are horrible looking drawings.  I am hoping that halfway through the year I'll be back to where I was or even better.  I have a lot of ideas that I want to draw on paper but because of the lack of skills I have not.  
Here is to not giving up :)

This one was something I drew a couple of years ago a quick study.

This is what I drew 3 days ago :/

I shall improve.

Side note I agreement with Lauren the writer for the Viciously Sweet blog The Secret Life Walter Mitty is inspirational or just a reminder to pursue your dreams.

K drama Inspiring Generation Ep. 1

I've said before I like watching Korean dramas.  I don't really have time to watch dramas at home.  While I am at the dialysis center I watch them there.  For a couple of years now I have been a fan of a Korean singer named Kim Hyun Joong.  I'll watch anything that he is in regardless if it's good or bad.  This time around he has come out in a drama called Inspiring Generation.  

Inspiring Generation premiered this week.  I have watched the first episode and I have to say it's pretty good.  I have been hooked on the 1st episode.  The drama's main character is Jung Tae (Kim Hyun Joong).  This episode starts of with Jung Tae fighting in a public fight.  Jung Tae is a fighter for pay.  

Jung Tae wins the fight and with his winnings he goes to a bar to drink.  As he drinks the female bar tender talks to him and you can see in Jung Tae's face that he isn't fighting because he likes it.  Jung Tae's seems to have some reason that has taken to the path of being a fighter.  
The man that he fought in the fight walks into the bar to pick a fight and Jung Tae walks away.  As soon as he begins to walk out the other fighter grabs the bar tender.  Jung Tae turns around and says that he hates men hitting women.  
Another seen begins and it's 8 years earlier.  
8 years earlier Jung Tae is still fighting but it is a happier time.  Jung Tae works, laughs and takes care of his sister.  Jung Tae's sister is very sick and he works hard to earn money in order to save up for an operation his sister needs.  Jung Tae wears worn out clothes and shoes with holes and buys the cheapest thing he can find to eat all to be able to save the money.  One day his friend tells him about a dirty deal that has to do with smuggling.  At first Jung Tae does not want any part of it but later gives in to the temptation.  Jung Tae gives all his savings to his friend and gives it to one of the members of the gang in charge.  Jung Tae's friend comes running to Jung Tae and tells him that they were scammed and the money was lost.  
He goes running looking for the gang to ask for his money back and he tries to fight them.
This was a brief recap which I really wasn't planning to do haha I got into it.  I am sure this drama will only get better.  It began well hopefully it continues like this.  After seeing this episode I have high expectations.


If anyone's interest is peaked you can always look it up on viiki.  I left out a lot of things the only way to find out is to watch the episode :)

A walk into the supernatural

   Since I was a kid, I have always liked to learn about the supernatural even if they scared me.  As an adult I still find it fascinating learning about poltergeist and and folk legends.  Yesterday I was remembering some of the stories that my dad and brother told me as a kid about their experiences with the supernatural in Guatemala.  There are many situations both my dad and brother encountered with things that till this day there seems to be no other explanation.  Well, there probably is another explanation maybe a more logical one but it would just take the fun out of it.
   There is a mythical creature that I remembered my family talking about called a cadejo.  A cadejo is a spirit that appears most of the time in form of a dog. There are two colored cadejos there are white ones and black ones. Depending as well from what country you have heard the legend from the white one will be the good one and the black one will be the black one and vise versa.  This legend originates in Central America.  In Guatemala it is said that a black cadejo appears to a person to guide you home safely.
   When my dad used to live in Guatemala he sometimes had to go home at night.  In those times the area where my dad lived there were no street lights and basically he lived in a area that where there was more land than homes.  He had told me that the cadejo appeared to him many times to help him get home safely.  My brother as well had encountered the cadejo and even changed his size to carry him home because he couldn't do it on his own since he had drank too much that one night.
   If you google cadejo you will find several variations of the cadejo legend.  It is quite an interesting read.

Hello 2014

It has started 2014. We are on the second day of the year. 
2013 is gone but it left me with many memories and lessons learned.  I am as well one year older and one year wiser.  I managed to keep some of my year resolutions.  
We are in a new year I have as well made a new list of resolutions a shorter list.

Resolutions of 2014
1. Draw more
2. Get into shape (was doing well last year but injured myself and could do much for more than half the year)
3. Be more positive 
4. Don't let my insecurities hold me back
5. Don't allow others to hold me back
6. Get a part-time job 
7. Succeed 

I'll update my blog more often since I finally entered into the current century in my phone.  I finally got a smartphone and an iPhone indeed.  Oh the many accessories I can buy for it.  I got sidetrack for a bit there.  With my phone I downloaded the blogger app and I will be able to post while I sit with my mom when she gets dialyzed.  

Oh smartphone accessories lol how I am a gadget lover.
