This ones for my grandpappy.

I saw this video posted on facebook today and for some reason decided to watch.  It completely re-energized me, reminding me of the magic in this world if even momentarily.  I played ball growing up, mostly because of my grandfathers influence, but I loved it nonetheless. Watching this video reminded me of the enthusiasm, and great joy that can come from one basket in a game.  This kid is sheer awesomness.  Gampy, this ones for you! HOT AS A PISTOL!

New York Poster Boy Re-art

I found this interesting!  thought I’d share.  Taking graffiti to a whole new level. I really appreciate all the media propaganda being morphed into something worth giggling at verses being force fed into our domes.  There is enough advertisement around. WE GET IT!  Right on to the mystery dude, shredding nonsense and making it more interesting.

enjoy.

Majestic Blue by Benjamin Moore

majestic-blue

The cold winters start making me dream of cheery ocean blues… If I can’t have them beneath my feet I’ll at least take them on my walls.  I saw this wall color in Domino Mag a few months ago and am starting to think it may be time to cheer up one of the dull cold rooms in our home.  This color is called majestic blue # 2051-40 by Benjamin Moore.  It appears to have a rich undertone and if you can get past the holiday wreath decoration a real cheery and uplifting element comes shining though.  It makes me want to make a warm mug of chai tea latte and sit under a cozy blanket reading island fairy tales while day dreaming of my next beachy encounter.
