Meaningful Arts & Crafts Session of the Day

Yall need 2 realize that there's more 2 life than the internet. U can't only exist on the net. U have 2 spend more time improving your real life brand. It's life, yall--u only get 1 chance to truly show the world 'what ur all about.'

Just wanted 2 share a meaningful art & craft with u. I know every1 is pumped about Barres Obama getting into the 'Black House', so thought I might share this tribute art & craft challenge.

What u need:

  • Crayola Markers
  • Military Costume from the 1700s.
  • Swaddling Cloth or miscellaneous wrapping cloth
  • Leader with a catchy name who represents hope

Step 1: Put on ur jacket. Write a song abt how 'u used 2 rule the world.'
Step 2: Wrap a lil cloth around your arm, making a meaningful arm band
Step 3: Figure out a creative way 2 symbolize/create a tribute 2 some1 who represents something that you want 2 'let the world know that u appreciate.'
Step 4: Talk 2 people abt ur art & craft. How u made it. Why u made it. All that kinda stuff.

This is your what your final product should look at.

Does n e 1 know what this stands 4?

Should I make 1 for my blog website?

Email me if yall have n e good recipes, arts & crafts ideas, or other authentic d.i.y. procedures. Think I'm gonna stop blogging about alt crap and start blggng about meaningful crafts, etc.

Or should I just buy Hot Topic / emo /mainstream bro wristbands?

Or stick with LIVINGSTRONG?

Or just fake an injury to get attention and have people who would never ordinarily talk 2 me 'sign my cast'?

I h8 it when other people use gimmicks to cultivate attention


It's not fair when I come up with a neon-coloured fashion gimmick to instigate interesting conversations, but then some one else uses another gimmick to out-gimmick me. Like this guy used some sort of scarf cloth to make a sling. He's definitely not injured, but he's probably going to get more compliments than any 1 since he constructed such a creative sling.

It's not fair when other people use unfair gimmicks that exploit feelings of sympathy from others. Do u think his arm is rlly broken? Or are medical accessories the new shutter shades?

Used n e good gimmicks lately?
I wore American Appy to this [private party] and a bunch of people were impressed, and it started a lot of interesting conversation about art, philosophy, and the impact of the blogosphere on modern journalism.
