Balloon Animals

Resistance is futile, I will shape it Writers ideas bend, contort, and transforms concepts and beliefs before my eyes. I stand before an audience transforming the ordinary balloon in to the extraordinary. A balloon may resist me, but I will prevail and transformation it in to a doll. My brain resists new ideas that the author vows will make me better. In the book , The War of Art,  I’ve learned not to give in to resistance, but to beat [...]

I like to arrive early for a birthday party and as I was sitting in my car outside the house. I could not help notice a big forest green truck drive past.  In the back cab window, on the right side, was a sticker saying, “Bad Ass!” and on the left side was an outline of a boy giving the middle finger.
