Living history?
We're in the very beginning of one of these crisis the world hadn't known for years.
As every crisis, it will mean the end of a lot, and the beginning of a lot.
It's both scary and... it opens the door to so many opportunities. I doubt I will have the occasion to open any of these doors, but still... it's interesting to live.
(The end of these periods is the best time to "make something out of nothing", but at the beginning or the middle of these crisis... it's very very hard (or impossible?) to make anything at all, so well... but whatever, one always has to fight for the day.)
On a smaller view, there are extremely (EXTREMELY) high chances a black man becomes president of the U.S.A. tomorrow. My point isn't that "wooaaaah, it's the U.S. we're talking about, THE U.S.!!", at all. I only mean that... for example, another black man got shot 40 years ago because "he had a dream" (to sum up). And 40 years ago is very very little time: the fact that a black man can be considered just as any random guy, and elected president, after so little time, is, in itself, awesome.
Of course Obama is an excellent candidate, but had the same person, the same Obama run for Presidency in the 70's or such, I really really doubt he would have had the same success than the current Obama has...
I have to admit I usually don't like Americans so much: living in Paris for 7 years made me become allergic to the typical American tourist who has problems accepting that, no, the whole world isn't a copy-cat of the U.S.A., and, no, every human being on Earth doesn't consider that "living and reacting like an American would" is -the- best thing on Earth... But! I admire them for their capacity to change. Seeing life, adapting to it, and accepting changes when they're needed, not an eternity after (...contrary to French people).
A single human is nothing, or close, but it's funny sometimes to sit back and see "the bigger picture" as it passes by your eyes...

*Dying*
Someone sent me this wonderful picture tonight:
*pats-pats the messy hair...*
*...and dies laughing!!*
+ About the painted "form"...
I intended to make it become a weird ghost, and this will be one version indeed...
...but soon after I posted the photos a few days ago, I found another possible way to use it:
...a deer!
Have to re-paint it twice now, as I always keep the "one color version" in a corner, as a reference!
