The first Post.

I remember doing art on paper as a child. My parents had a Box of old Ditto paper. I was told to use it up. (it was a big box too) I would draw for hours and hours. Back then that was considered recycling. I remember the dusty box and pulling a new sheet of paper out. The blue Phonetic alphabet on one side, and the vast empty on the other. Over and over I would fill that empty with something. Honing my creative skills. Playing out in my mind visual scenarios. It proved a fatal mistake in Kindergarten. Here I was handed a piece of paper, a drawing of an apple on one side. The teacher instructed us to color an apple. Promptly I turned over the paper, grabbed the green crayon and began work. My apple had a stem, but no leaf. I have seen apples before, they don't normally have leaves. My apple was green. I liked granny smith apples, which are green. The teacher was mortified. NOT ONLY had I not assumed her instruction. but my apple was the wrong color and didn't have a leaf. Annoyed, she told my mother (who was teaching there too at the time) what I had done to the coloring sheet. She simply replied, he's never seen one before.

This first post is to break up the blank. To begin, To show you why I think outside the box. Why, not only do I not color inside the lines, but I color on the wrong side of the paper. I work a lot with Twitter, and Facebook. I recently was told by someone who I started following on twitter, "thanks for the add but if it is to drive me to your website, than... lame" That hurt. I have a serious business that is created from meeting people, making friends, and helping them. Here is a person who wanted to be listened to, but not talked to. Bizarre in my mind.

I have some interesting ways of looking at the world. I have some Unique things to share. I hope you check back often.
