Art Gallery
The trip to the Mishkin Gallery was pretty awesome. I have always appreciated art especially since I consider myself a quasi-artist. Anyway, we go into this gallery and I find myself- along with the rest of my male counterparts staring at this painting of a womans bossom. At first the painting seemed oddly sexual but then when the woman running the exhibit explained what it was about this painting gained symbolic meaning. It was as if the painter was juxtaposing the modern woman with the classic view of a woman. I also looked at this painting where this man was on a horse. This was a bit of an odd picture because this mans anatomical setup seemed all out of whack. His waist seemed to small, and it looked like there was a tumour on his back. Interestingly enough, the horse seemed to have a weird body too. I guess the point of this was to say, “if everything is screwed up, then nothing really is.” The best painting was this one where the artist recreated an older painting. The artist took some liberties whilst recreating the painting. Mostly though, the artist made the painting a lot more brighter. This induced a spring or summer feel that evoked a feeling of warmth. It was also interesting to note, that the painter had to almost disassemble his painting in order for it to travel. The incredible part about it was that the painter had to mend the canvases together himself. It’s like this guy is Leonardo da Vinci mixed with Bob Vila. Overall, the exhibit was not only cool but incredibly informative and I enjoyed it immensely.

I used to be sane…
So, I went to the dentist office the other day for the usual checkup. The dentist comes out and the guy is north of 100 years old and has HORRIBLE teeth! I immediately start hyper ventilating, thinking, “this guy is going to be inside my mouth?!?!?” Not the best wording for that sentence, but I digress. It’s like when you go to someone for help- in this case the dentist- you want viable proof that they know what they’re talking doing. You wouldn’t go to the gym, and pick the personal trainer that is telling you to run while he scarfs down a jelly donut. You wouldn’t want someone who’s only seen “Top Gun” to fly a plane. So we get into the room and he says “Realistically this should take like 15 minuntes.” He picks up the tiny mirror thingy and his hand is shaking like a meth addict trying to detox, and my first thought is “bloody hell, why me?” I immediately jump out the chair and say “I’m late for an engagement” and run out the room. Needless to say I need to find a new dentist. My family is also insane. I was hanging out with my sister and her mom asked me, “How’d you get here?” And I say “Oh, I took the ‘D’ to the ‘L’.” My sister devilishly looks at me and asks, “So you took the ‘D’?” Chick thinks she has jokes. People look at me like “His face is black, but his voice is white.” One guy even told me, “you can’t possibly talk like that.” I’ve realized that the older I get the more of a maniac I become. Case in point: I noticed how racist America really is through watching tv. Sprint seems to be the worst of the offenders. The two black people they had on their commercials are not valid representations of the average black guy. One guy, is the superstar Kevin Durant. The other, is this guy who looks like he hasn’t finished evolving yet. People who don’t know what African Americans look like would look at this commercial and think we’re all 6’10 or the living proof that mankind descendants of monkeys. Then Tracy Morgan comes on tv and the first thing out of his mouth is “CHICKEN!!!” Like awesome bro, that was intellectual and not stereotypical at all. I didn’t even know I was dark-skinned til I came here. In the UK they used to called me “red-bone.” I mean I used to be sane, then I was born…

I have no idea what my classmates think of me, Evan J. Farrell-Haigler, yet. However, this play list is pretty much filled with every genre I listen to, except rap. I chose all these songs because they each hold a special memory in my heart or evoke a certain feeling. “Lost without you” is an awesome song and Robin wrote it for his beautiful wife. “Ribbon In the Sky” is special to me because I know how to play this song on the piano. Piano is a big part of who I am too. If I am are ever able to utter these words to a girl, I might as well sing this song at my wedding reception. “Get Down On It” is a CLASSIC party song and is usually played at least once at my family reunion- you know old people. “This Is How We Do It” is also a classic party song that makes even the shyest person get down on the dance floor. “Letter From a Theif” is my favourite song from my favourite rock band. I love Chevelle and this is the first song I ever heard from them. “Back In Black” is such an awesome rock song. It has been played in a slew of movies- ususally to provoke a feeling of awesomess- and was even the theme song for me many of school days when I dressed in all black. “Someone Like You” is an interesting song to me, because, the one that got away is such a cliche in the music industry, but Adele makes it new by putting her own spin on it. I think we all have that ‘one who got away.’ “…Is the one the one that got away. Becuase men have that, and serial killers have that,” according to Adam Sandler in “Funny People.” “Lights” is just simply an awesome song to dance to. “Suit and Tie” is an awesome song because I can relate to getting dressed up in a tailor-made suit for a night on the town. “Dream On” is simply inspirational. I hear this song, and its like I can run a marathon. In fact, when I’m at the gym and this song starts playing on my phone, I immediately lift harder. “Pumped Up Kicks” is a song I sometimes pop-and-lock to. “Ordinary People” is probably how everyone feels in a relationship. “Just Friends” is a song that I sung once at karaoke. People said I sung it well too. Its also a song that I habitually sing in the shower… I do that a lot.
