Goals
Unlike most people, I don’t have any issues when it comes to setting goals. My issue is actually achieving them. My goal for the new semester was to wake up at the butt crack of dawn so I’d feel “productive.” Well, the only thing... -
The Spectacular Waterfall
“In your world, you decide.” He was focusing on the form, shape, and darkness of the cliff along the waterfall. And when he said that, it brought to light that just because he is putting “big cliffs, rocks, and little happy things,” doesn’t mean... -

The Joy of… Life

Bob Ross Reflection
I watched Bob Ross paint one of his famed winter landscapes. In this landscape, he painted snow, happy little trees, and a shed. There were several things that stuck out in this episode as they do in many of his episodes. For example, he uses a lot of pronouns like “we” and “us” to make it feel like […] -

DS106 Goals Baby
My goals are to get more in touch with my creative side BUT make it digital. I would categorize myself as a technological dumbass.

Afterwards I struggled to… Continue reading Kyle’s First Week -

Bob Ross: Cabin by the Pond
This show is one that lives fondly in my memories. My late grandmother often had this show on in the background of card games as we’d play.
