The Doodle

Two Hundred Thirteenth Post: The Doodle

My favorite drawing next to a fast sketch is the doodle. Sometimes those doodles turn into sketches. When the drawer gets board or needs some ideas they turn to the doodle. It has been said that a doodle is the subconscious expressing itself. Things that can’t be comprehended are expressed.

Once my art teacher covered the tables with brown paper. We came into the room not knowing what today’s project would be. He instructed us not to write on the tables (even though there were drawing instruments on the table). He waited to everyone was in the room and said to begin drawing on the tables. It was sort of like graffiti and some doodling. The point was to create art spontaneously without realizing it. In other words to just be in the “creative zone.”

I usually don’t discuss politics and other related things. There is usually enough of such things on radio and news. However sometimes it is fun and if you like to debate it is good as long as you don’t take it too seriously.

I keep reading in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette of how all these business owner want to built casinos. I really don’t take interest in slots and gambling, but there is a huge amount of people who would like to see a place to gamble. Also it may bring a lot of people to the city. However why is it that when there is news about creating money it is not traditional business where people could be employed, it is one large money making scheme that benefits the owners of the casino.

I am not opposed to stadiums. My question is why casinos? And if we must have them why are they the priority?

May the Creative Force and Holiday Spirit be with You
