DRUGS MEET ART

I found this article online and I just had to share. It was way too intriguing not to.
It read thus;

"The world is a crazy place! People do all sorts of things, and this artist took that a step further!

Bryan Lewis Saunders is an artist who specializes in Self Images. He’s drawn over 8000 of them. In 1995, he got a thought – about how drug-affected brains work. He got a brainwave of trying it out himself, and as a result, he’s had a small level of permanent brain damage, and spent months in hospitals and de-addiction centers.

But not before he completed the series. Each of these images was drawn under the influence of the mentioned drug.

Stay away from Drugs, people. These are quite terrifying!"

So basically the following are pictures of how he sees himself as influenced by each respective drug.

#1. Absinthe 

 #2. Cocaine

 #3. Crystal Meth

#4. Heroin

#5. Hash

#6. Marijuana

#7. Morphine

#8. Valium

#9. Xanax

So ever thought of doing drugs, think again. This things aren't cool.

Movie Moments.

2014 is over halfway gone and so I decided to look up some of the movie favorites.
Here are the top 10 so far of 2014.

#1: The Grand Budapest Hotel.

I haven't  seen this movie but something about it tells me I'm gonna like it. I hope it is worth all the hullabaloo.

#2: The LEGO Movie.

I grew up knowing LEGO as a toy and now it's a movie. Okay * shrugs*. That's all my thoughts on it.

#3: Jodorowsky's Dune.

That name sha. It perks my curiosity though. I can't wait to see it.

#4: Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Yay! Finally a movie I've seen makes it to the list. Need I mention I love superhero.

#5: Only Lovers Left Alive

Hmmm. Okay now. Creepy name, 'creepier' photo.

#6: Noah

There's  something about Russell Crowe that just fit these kind of films. Don't you think so. I have this feeling that if Noah was to comeback to life, this is exactly what he would look like. Anyway I can't wait to see it as well.

#7: Night Moves

Okay. I'm curious about this one too.

#8: Edge of Tomorrow

I think this theme has been over flogged  this past years. I mean, think about oblivion, pometheus... the list g.oes on. I hope they are gonna thrill us with a different dimension this time.

#9: Stranger By The Lake

Okay! I "comment my reserve"

#10: 300. Rise of an Empire

I remember watching the original 300 a couple of years back and it left me so heartbroken. I felt like I needed some closure. Well this movie didn't really give me the closure I sought but it gave me a lot of comfort.
And the list is done. Is there any movie freak out there who has seen all 10.
Let me know what you think if you've seen any.
Meanwhile I have this list courtesy of http://time.com/2823520/best-movies-of-2014-so-far/

THE #unashamed PROJECT

I came across an interesting piece from from a couple of bloggers who are involved in the #bodyunashamed project where they get to name three things they like about themselves.
Well I decided to take part in it as well. But here is what happened.  For a while I couldn't figure out up to three things I liked about me without modifications.
Don't get me wrong. I liked a lot of things but always with qualifications like... I wish this was more this, and that was more that.

So while I'm still working on this areas, I'd like to put out the challenge to you. Yes you reading this. Take part in this #unashamed project and tell me three things you like about you.
And remember;
