In this absolutely hilarious stack you will find everything you know about cats ;) remember – cats could be anything, I always suspected that they run the Universe. Remember in >Man in Black’ the cat had the Universe in her collar. Also, Douglas Adams totally missed the joke – cats made us think mice run the world.

here’s a story about a dog

I’m terrified of dogs, I love them but it’s just involuntary thing because I was bitten as a kid. I usually cross the road when I see a big one and I’m also a very cat person.

But this summer I met a German Shepherd called Roger and boy that was the first time in my life that I cuddled a dog and I couldn’t get enough. He was very calm and well behaved, he was almost like a person. Usually I become very anxious when dogs start jumping around he never ever jumped, he will come over and lay on the ground.

My friend and her mom, the dog’s family, are very loving people so the dog is really loving to their friends.

They own a country house sort of a ranch so the dog really keeps the house safe. I heard him bark at night at some animals that were crossing the road and I’m sure it won’t be pleasant to be on his bad side.

Can’t wait to see Roger again, it really feels as if I made a new friend he simply isn’t human.

I made a proposal for the First Human Art on Mars ( HAM )

A Drawing In The Sand on Another Planet.

Proposal for the first Human Art on Mars ( HAM ) – A Drawing In The Sand. Since ancient times philosophers have been drawing in the sand. …Our hands are a symbol of our humanity, we create and destroy by it, and like in the Michelangelo painting and in the cave paintings of ancient – they carry the human spark, they serve our intelligence to shape matter, and make our dreams a reality.

On the left – Proposed first Human Art on Mars ( HAM ) – A Drawing In The Sand. I propose that a human sized hand print is drilled on the surface of Mars by InSight’s Heat and Physical Properties Package probe. Just like the first human step on the Lunar surface – this will be a cultural step for mankind.

On the right – Red ochre hand stencils in the Cave of El Castillo (c.37,300 BCE). These markings are some of the earliest art of the Upper Paleolithic. Art is commonly understood as the act of making works (or artworks) which use the human creative impulse and which have meaning beyond simple description.

Growing up I wanted to be an astronaut, now I doodle about it. Nasa doodle and JPL DOODL

I grew up with Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, with Isaac Asimov’s stories, robots, aliens, with Arthur C Clarke’s novels. I grew up with Star Wars. It’s not that I believe in Star Wars but I do believe in the message of Star Wars. Star Wars inspired me to dream. It was so epic and there were so many great lessons in it. I became a Star Wars artist.

My blueprint for dreams came from the science fiction novels I had been reading throughout my childhood and as a young adult. I wanted an epic life with adventures, possibly in space. So my first dream naturally was to become an astronaut.

I became an artist, now I create worlds and constantly conspire to make things the world has never seen.

How to make $100,000 as a Video Game Artist or 102 Art, Life and Games Lessons from a Former Star Wars Artist – by Mirena Rhee. The book is now on Amazon

Why 102? – the book is not 101, and there are infinite numbers between 101 and 102…

Little girls dream of dolls, I dreamed of spaceships and aliens. I was a natural fit. I became a Star Wars artist.

The book is meant for all the underdogs, for all the weird kids and the misfits. The young and not so young adults who read strange books and ask odd questions. And who feel there’s nothing going for them, and that there’s no hope. They feel stuck and they feel rejected. But they have dreams and imagination.

I’m here to tell you there’s not only hope, but even your wildest dreams will become true and a lot more.

This book is meant to entertain and inspire. This book is for dreamers and misfits who like to do great things, and who want to live 500 years. This book is also for people who live in their heads, in science fiction books, in comets and black holes and video games.

This book will inspire you to do something in the world that not anyone else can do.

It is the anti 4-hours workweek book. It is very popular these days, and there are people proud of it, that they work 4-hour work weeks. Every cow chews for more than 4 hours a week. A woodpecker probably works more than 4 hours a week. Are you a woodpecker? Grown men want to sit by the pool. Toads sit by the pool. We are not toads. I don’t want to be a toad. I want to be the first performance artist on Mars. I have 50,000 years worth of projects in my notebooks.

By the time you finish the book – start thinking of the next 50,000 years of projects of your own. The video games, the paintings, the drawings, the art, the illustrations, the rockets you are gonna blow up in your backyard, the rovers on Jupiter that you wanna build, the space time you are gonna fold, who knows. Come up with your own job that you want to do in the world, don’t wait for someone.

I wrote the book to inspire anti-beach dreams, why would someone dream of a beach. You just get a.. ticket? Burn on your passions instead, on dreams, to create, to do. To learn and to inspire others in turn.

This is also the anti-life-hacking and anti-hackpreneur lifestyle book – man that looks bad even as a word. All the preneurs out there want to be by a beach. I was getting sick of seeing grown men sitting by pools, and sandy shores. Sand dunes are by the beach. I don’t want to be a sand dune. I wanted to give kids and young adults something else to aspire to rather than scheduling flights all over the place. Anyone can go anywhere these days – buying a plane ticket is not a profession. I want to inspire kids and young adults to come up with something of their own that they can do, and to dream of their life’s work, of great and amazing things to do rather than a lounge chair.

Happy Pride

Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains

We can, though, try to get out using our intelligence. I am not saying our minds because every animal has a mind, and every animal uses their mind to go after food and reproduction. We can use our intelligence to grow faculties that will help us overcome our DNA limitations. Imagine that everywhere we go we put up fences – we get home and our first reaction is to lock up, we build a house and put a fence, we build a nation and put up a wall, ironically not to keep beasts out.

We build nice cities like New York, we build nice avenues with beautiful shops alongside to keep crystalline structures like diamonds and gold safe from the elements while homeless people look in from the gutters.

We tell grown adults how to conduct their love lives, we are ashamed of merely showing penises and vaginas on public television while it is hard to turn on any device without running into a celebration of violence, real and imaginary.

We sit around stuffing ourselves for hours on end with food and drink when a fifth will do, we slaughter animals indiscriminately but adore pet stores and strut ourselves with creatures on  leashes.  We enjoy ice cream cones in front of animals in cages.

We can do better here, much better.. this is why we print books so we don’t forget that people already thought of all this in the past. Now that the vast majority is in the public domain – it is easier than ever to think – http://www.gutenberg.org/files/46333/46333-h/46333-h.htm
