I don't normally post serious things all to often... but I saw this today and liked it a lot...

Merry Christmas

I made this in highschool when I wanted to figure out photoshop (it didn’t happen)

but Merry Christmas everyone!

PaPaw Cookies

Every year for Christmas my Grandpa (Papaw) always buy the grandkids these cookies...

It's happened for so long that we call them Papaw cookies...

Anyways... I bought a tin of them for the Access Volunteer Christmas Party for a game and took the left overs home a few weeks back... and devoured them...

I couldn't stand for that so I did the only logical thing I could think of...

Merry Christmas!

Holga

Just got this guy for Christmas… I got it on Saturday and have ready gone through a whole roll of film… It’s so fun…

Only problem… The whole first roll came out HORRIBLE! but it still has that Holga charm… It’s going to be fun figuring this thing out.

It's ok to be alone.

Sometimes I have a problem with not being constantly entertained or not being surrounded by noise and CRAZINESS!

Now I don't 100% agree with everything this girl says... it's beautiful and worth a watch.

Hugh Gallagher

The following is a guy named Hugh Gallagher's answer for admittance into NYU. I LOVE IT!

Question...

3A. ESSAY: IN ORDER FOR THE ADMISSIONS STAFF OF OUR COLLEGE TO GET TO KNOW YOU, THE APPLICANT, BETTER, WE ASK THAT YOU ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION: ARE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCES YOU HAVE HAD, OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU HAVE REALIZED, THAT HAVE HELPED TO DEFINE YOU AS A PERSON?

Here is how he responded...

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet gone to college.

If you don't smile...

My Next Project

It's been a while since I've gotten around to making my next great creation. (I've been focused on Christmas!) It's been a few months since I've put on the old apron though... The Chicken Parm was good... it really was... but I think its time to step it up... because... why not?

I was watching the Today show the other day and they had this 100 layer lasagna... And it looks delicious! I'm not sure I'm going to go with this recipe but I'm going to give lasagna a try... my way. I'll look around and try to find something that fits me...

My goal with it though is to make it 100% from scratch. Noodles, sauce everything! I like this challenge!

This is the Today show four star lasagna... Its beautiful!
