What are your thoughts on what REALLY happened on Spetember 11, 2001? What throws me off the most is that September 10, 2001 was the most active trading day in the history of NYSE. American Airlines' main shareholders were selling like crazy. Coincidence? There are other discrepancies, but this is the one that caught my eye

For instance, when someone says "I am smart"...how do you decide that? What percentage of actions do you consider before you make that decision? What if you do something stupid? Are you still smart?

Filipinos should remember that not only the Spaniards conquered the Philippines for 3-400 years, the Chinese were colonized by India for 2,000 years, in terms of religion and culture. I bet you that the Chinese were dumbfounded and upset when the East-Indians set foot on Chinese soil to present their religion (buddhism) and culture. Besides, the Chinese did not develop buddhism, kung fu, acupuncture, etc. All this time, I thought that Chinese people did all those things. But, anyway, if you want to see more about Chinese history or the origins of the Chinese religion and culture, go to this webpage at http://www.hinduwisdom.info/India_and_China.htm

regrets

The pain inside only grows with time,
Grief envelops my very soul.
Ever silent in a lifetime of regret,
Words mean nothing in the end.

Sacrificed to the bitter chill of the night,
I will ride the wind like Icarus forever.
Like the last remnants of a dying sun,
From which a silent cry echos still

My blood is boiling inside my veins,
Pain waltzes together with my agony.
Lies, they are laughing at my burning tears,
I long for just this once, to love all my fears.

I still wait for the sun to somehow rise,
For the light to emerge from the eastern sky.
Come deadly wind, come embrace the night,
Daylight it waits to end my suffering forever.

I have been reading the James patterson, Alex Cross series pretty much as they come out. I just read Cross and now I cannot remember what happened to his ex-girlfriend Christine Johnson (mother of Alex Jr). He has custody of him in Cross. If someone knows, I would love the refresher. Thanks!

First, how can I tell for sure if it's acrylic vs. oil? Second, is there a special gesso for acrylic? Third, there's a very slight (almost unnoticable) dent in the canvas. Any way to repair this? Would adding some sort of texture help? If so, what are some ways to do that? (Sorry for my ignorance. I'm almost exclusively a pencil artist. I haven't painted since high school!)

FYI: It is a very ameauturish painting. Just black paint on what looks like a naked gesso background. The subject matter is unmentionable. I got a strange look from the store clerk when I bought this and a fellow customer was very vocal about her discust!!! There are just no words to discribe how ugly this is!!

Please, help me! I would love to put this poor canvas out of it's misery!!!
