I just hope I didn't brain my damage

What can I say? I've been through some crazy stuff. I like running and beer and parties and music and I think too much. I love people and find them fascinating, along with what they did, where they lived, and what they built. This blog a testament to my sheer will and determination to avoid doing any actual work in favor in basking in the vast intellectual abyss that is the internet, and now also an inactive momument to a strange time in my youth. Enjoy I would also like to take this oppurtunity to pledge my love for the Allman Brothers Band, Modest Mouse, My Bloody Valentine, Lamb of God, and the works of MF Doom. Oh and apologies in advance for any accidental thefts of intellectual property and/or copyright infringements that may come up... please don't sue me. Strength and Honor; One is useless without the other.

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

‘Inside the Museum of African Art,’ Wosene Kosrof, 1990

Gallery label:

This painting was created after Wosene Kosrof’s visit to the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C. The multitude of images that fill the canvas are influenced by the diversity of the museum’s collection and by the artist’s Ethiopian heritage.

The three arches at the top of the painting represent the entrance to the museum. The plant to the upper left is the tree outside of the building but it also represents the Tree of Life that Wosene often saw in early Ethiopian Christian art. Below and to the right of the tree is a rectangular area of bold colors and a striped design reminiscent of kente cloth from Ghana. In the middle is a prominent mask image originating from Central Africa. It is the most realistic and bold image in the painting because it is a welcoming piece to the Museum of African Art, which was memorable for the artist.

Amharic writing, an Ethiopian language, is included throughout the painting. The black lettering around the central mask spells out “Africa,” while another phrase, “the African spirit,” is found elsewhere. The painting is organized into vertical segments. This arrangement comes from the Ethiopian tradition of using long goatskin religious scrolls.

Pages from Albert Einstein’s Notebook. Although I’m not graphologist, I find individual handwriting very interesting.

Synonymous to an artist’s sketchbook, a scientist expresses their thoughts into their notebook which overflows with creativity and innovation.
