ability to see the bigger picture. The world is fragmented. A whole does not exist. There may be no truth. Simulacra. Everything is a copy of a copy. The truth is non-existant, originality is lost.

May we all live in harmony
Yoked in love and peace

Never forget a friendly face
And treasure those who's least
My time is short for this I know
Eternity's at the door

Intentions well, as I've been told
Senserity I adore

My feelings hurt easy when I am slammed
Eleventh hour approaching near
Life's handing out pain and poison
Vendication is all I hear
Isolated from the people
Not a reason to jerk a tear

Old school I miss, from time to time
Keep smiling through the fear.

The Power of Music

Head nodding pressure
Excitement in the air
Jumping up and down
As if you don't care,
What makes us feel this way?
Why do we lose control?
When the music starts playing
We start heading towards the dance floor,
Music fills the void
Emptyness destroyed
Lightening our hearts
Making every moment enjoyed,
The soul opens up
The blood starts to flow
Moving to the beat
You start to feel the glow,
I know what to do
Found my release
Listening to music
Mypain is eased,
The music keeps beat
Movement creates heat
No sense of pain
I can't take my seat,
Another song starts
The pain now returns
Happiness is gone
Tears start to burn,
Remembering the past
Hoping the memory will pass
Understanding there's no going back
Knowing the feelings won't last,
Left here to think
I'm here all alone
No one hears my sobs
They feel so cold,
Then the mood is changed
The energy returns
i'm off the floor again
The pain no longer burns...

The Romans were arguably the greatest engineers of the Ancient world. But when it came to innovation, the Romans seemed to just steal an idea and improve upon it.

The Arch, toga, columns, and amphitheater were Greek.
Latin came from the Latins of Latium.
The Legions evolved from the Phalanx.

What did the Romans both assimilate and/or improve upon from other civilizations?

When Germany attacked in the West on May 10, 1940, the air forces of the Allies (French, British, Belgians, Dutch) had a substantial combined numerical superiority over the Luftwaffe. Certainly, the Luftwaffe's aircraft were generally superior plane-to-plane. But the Luftwaffe totaled 1,900 bombers and 1,470 fighters. The total air forces' strength of the Allies was 1,625 bombers and 3,500 fighters.
Yet, on the Western Front (the only place that mattered) the Luftwaffe enjoyed an almost 2:1 numerical advantage: -
Germany: Bombers 1,559; Fighters 1,220.
Allies: Bombers 398; Fighters 1,050.
I know that the RAF held much of its strength back in Britain for "home defence". And both France and Britain presumably deployed aircraft for imperial defense in the Middle East, India, SE Asia, etc.
Were the Allies so sure that Hitler would never dare to attack on the Western Front that they squandered their aerial numerical superiority in pointless deployments elsewhere?

It's about time I make a website for my artwork. I was wondering if there were any good examples of professional looking artist websites out there. I'm looking for PROFESSIONAL examples only that showcase the artist's work. I'll be using a program like dreamweaver to make the website. Any tips with that?
Thanks a lot for the help.
