Artistic and Beautiful.............What Is Art?
This video shows the winner of " Ukraine’s Got Talent", Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch.
The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears, and she won the top prize of about £75,000.
She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated.
It is replaced by a woman’s face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman’s face appears.
She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier.
This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house.
In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye.
The "Great Patriotic War", as it is called in Ukraine , resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million.
Kseniya Simonova says:
"I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there’s surely no bigger compliment."

don`t be a pussy, just sign the petition. you won`t be called on to do anything or give any of your hard-earned money....just read it and sign.
LOS ANGELES- In 1969, when the 49-year-old underground poet and columnist
Charles Bukowski quit his job at the Terminal Annex postal sorting facility,
he was one step ahead of a pink slip. Offered $100 a month by an editor who
believed in his work, Bukowski took the leap to become a professional
writer, and in just a few weeks produced his first novel, the
autobiographical "Post Office."
Bukowski never held a day job again. He would go on to write six more
novels, the screenplay to "Barfly" and thousands of poems, and to find
international acclaim as one of the truly distinctive voices of Los Angeles
literature. Although he died in 1994, his literary output continues with
posthumous anthologies, and he is widely known among American booksellers as
the most shoplifted author on their shelves.
In 2006, Bukowski's archives were acquired by the Huntington Library, and in
2008 the modest East Hollywood cottage where he wrote "Post Office" was
named one of the Historic-Cultural Monuments of the City of Los Angeles.
But one perfectly apt honor still eludes Bukowski: shouldn't the second most
famous American postal worker after Benjamin Franklin have his own postage
stamp?
Richard Schave and Kim Cooper of the L.A.-based literary bus tour company
Esotouric think so, and have launched a petition asking the Citizens Stamp
Advisory Committee to consider recommending that a commemorative Bukowski
stamp be released on the 20th anniversary of his death (March 9, 2014).
Esotouric's celebrations of Bukowski's life and work include the bus tour
"Haunts of A Dirty Old Man: Charles Bukowski's LA" (next scheduled on April
24), working on the campaign to have his home landmarked, and inviting
journalist Marco Mannone to host a Bukowski Salon at the October 2009
Downtown LA Art Walk. They also spearheaded the successful campaign to have
the corner of Fifth and Grand, at the LA Central Library, designated John
Fante Square, after the writer who Bukowski called "my God."
The online Charles Bukowski Stamp Petition will remain active until March 1,
2010, when it will be printed out and submitted to the Citizens Stamp
Advisory Committee, the volunteer group that advises the postal service on
appropriate choices for commemorative stamps.

I was smart enough to put the camera away but needed to show you these before it just blows up bigger then life.
I finished up the trip heading out to my buddies house in Davis for a nice shower, meal and a shitload of drinks before calling it a night. thanks Josh, see ya soon. before calling it quits, Josh warned me that a huge winter storm was heading into the Bay area and I should head out as early as possible. i figured he wanted me out of his neighborhood before the neighbors woke up but he was right and off i went. 2 minutes away my bike shut off and some how my battery cable screw came off? just another thing....... zip tied it and got to the first auto supply. somewhere between Davis nad Oakland while i was trying not to barf, I guess Max Schaaf spotted my bike zipping by and contacted a few people to see if I was actually in the area....was gonna get the tour of Oakland. next time Mr. Schaaf. it got grey and ugly and the wind was blowing crazy. damn it. get me home.
alot of blogs post food so i decided to post a photo of this great resturant i found on the way home......their $1 menu was superb. white juicy chicken breast sandwich. home-made cookie, fresh outta the oven. i really recommend this joint. you won`t be disappointed. almost immediately I got the shits. must be the high-fiber content. oh yea, my other muffler flew off in San Luis Obispo........really? who needs mufflers. i paid for them................... the rain finally started coming down in ventura a little around 8:30 p.m. and sprinkled all the way home. it was a great trip with great guys and total freedom. thanks to Chino Josh, Clayton the Fireman and Scott the Vegan Photographer. next time Mike D..... you were missed.
