Working on a NSFW Art Blog

Going to be working on it for a few days to a week before putting it out there. So expect a link on the blog sometime next week.

Unbelievable... When I set out to do a blog post, I never expected this...

Some ideas are one in a million, but taking those ideas and turning them into reality is sometimes one in a billion. So when I set out to write and post content to the web, I never really thought it would happen. First, I knew I had to have some pictures.

Picture #1:

Wow. What can I say about this image. I hope I can come up with something. Amazing. It is a photo of a guy surfing a wave. I googled the word "photos" and it came up. I had to search through nearly a dozen photos before settling on this one. It was far from easy, but I knew this would be the most challenging task of my life. 

Picture #2:

Incredible. This is definitely the second picture in this blog post. It was next to the surfing image when I searched "photos". This picture was especially difficult because I received a Facebook message while trying to post it, and then I started checking Facebook. I almost forgot about this blog entirely, but my determination and strength pulled me through. I clicked back to this tab and started typing again. What a journey.

Picture #3:

This was absolutely insane. Only after I clicked on this image, did I realize it was a .gif and it was animated. A couple years ago, the sight of a .gif would have shocked me so much, I would have given up on this posting right then and there. But not today. Today I was going to finish this blog post no matter what. So, I kept going. This time, a new challenge awaited.

A Video:

I've been through a lot in my time on earth. I went to public school and even didn't have basic cable until I was twelve years old! But sometimes life has a way of flushing your whole world down the toilet. 

I thought this post could be amazing, I thought it might inspire other people to go on the internet and maybe even create something themselves. Not a blog post obviously, but maybe something less challenging, like a tweet. But it's clear to me now that I, like Icarus, flew too close to the sun. I, like the ancient mythical man, dared to dream too big.

Folks, I knew it was crazy, but I wanted to attach a video to this posting and really knock it out of the park. I wanted you to see Daniel Radcliff rapping on The Tonight Show, and I wanted it to be great. It's clear to me now that this was an absurd dream and I never should have been so arrogant. I'm sorry that I failed you all, and failed myself.

But in my failure I hope to carry a simple lesson: I don't regret any of it. I know that even though I can't post a blog like the pros do, at least I tried. At least I dared to have a dream. Maybe one day I'll try again, but considering the years of planning that went into this piece, I highly doubt it. Peace be with you all.

Edit: I'm told the video works for some people.
