where on earth has haley's sister been???????
she gave judy a pen and ink of wilbur's head that is as good as teh colored artwork in janine's new book which i have forgotten the name of... except the art work is outstanding. got to find out more about haleys sister...
going back to my mike rowe fascintation'-- which is closely affiliated with ken robertson.s TED lecture on creativity( which you all should listen to ) ken's theme is that the education system in the us is geared to producing university professors- at the expense of teh more creative---and sometimes practical...
Parts of robertson's 20 minute lecture are easy to remember-- like the creativity of teh little 3 kids in the nativity scene-- "i bring you gold".... "i bring you myrrh".. "frank sent me "
there ae soooo many kids... it is difficult to critize teh e educational system ( WELL THAT'S WRONG-- I AM GOOD AT IT) -- BUT.... i have often found a person with great potential. stuck in a job of pumping gas-- abuot as opften as i have found a university professor who is as intelectually as flat as a pancake.
object being-- try and find a paying job in the field of some of the obscurly talented kids who are stuck in the mainstream of trying to make car payments.
not all yogurt drink cantainers can be chess pieces-- some are super sugar dispensers.
i never cease to be shocked at what people are paid to do----
fact - apparently in britain there is a toilet manufacturing company that is studying ... if you change tehe angle of teh toilet seat by 13% people woulld spend 25% less time there- which would benefit corporate productivity.
then there is the bunch sifting sands in teh middle of some desert searching for broken bits of pottery. i hate to think of what people could dig up on this property 1000 years from nowl
then the huge question of polititians-- what do they do if they don't get elected or re elected.... some of the very bright will write books and have speaking engagements... ok that is 4% of them-- what do the rest of the 96%
do? as life goes on --one hears of one or two -- but the rest get swallowed up and disappear.how do they pay the bills.?
so -- if any of you know of any kind of artistic job for someone pretty good at pen and ink,, let haley know.
the otehr angle is..... somehow we need to be more cognizant ot the person stuck in some educational system in which they have absolutley no talent or interest.
i will spare you the pain of my high school experience trying to spell everything correctly for a hystory paper on "52 40 or fight." - that hardly ever comes up in polite conversation-- i would have done much better in a course of creative welding.
getting late... (8:00 am)
