I've always done drawings and people who've seen my stuff say "Why aren't you a professional artist?" I'm like if I knew the steps to take I would take them. I'd like to do comic book style stuff or story boarding. If anyone can help me that would be the coolest thing ever.

It seems that nowadays If u want to be rich, u have to work like a bitc*h and won't enjoy life, and if you want to enjoy life and be happy, u probably won't be as succesful or rich. Is it better to be happy with what u got or that ur family receives more education, material stuff, trips to other countries, cars, and all that??
Also, talking about evolution: Are the forces of evolution ironically acting against our desire of enjoying life? (i mean.. all this "struggle of the fittest/strongest" and all that, isn't a good thing at all)

I want to train my eyebrow muscles and learn how to raise one eyebrow at a time. (Maybe like John Cena or Madhuri Dixit does it!) I would really like to do that!
I have heard that doing that is taught in "Kathak?" If yes, what is the way? How do I go about it?
Please let me know! It would be very kind of you. Thanks a lot in advance!

Stephen J Gould made this statement concerning the theory of evolution: "...Thus, if you wish to understand patterns of long historical sequences, pray for randomness."

But random is not a property of evolution at all, it is a statement about our lack of knowledge. Consider the number sequence, 3, 8, 4, 6, 2, 6, 4, 3, 3, 8, 3, 2, 2, ... That sequence seems random but when I tell you that it is numbers from pi, the sequence is no longer random because you can now predict the next numbers. It was random as long as we were ignorance of the facts. So Gould is saying to understand evolution, pray for ignorance. Isn't there something fundamentally wrong with the TOE when we have to pray for ignorance?

Pale yellow walls imprison
elemental rooms empitied of life
replaced by dead wood coloured furniture
without scratches without scars
An orderly perfection neatly kept
Nothing unknown nor was new
No realms nor corners remains unexplored
in my boring house

Then one cloudy day, I stumbled upon a door
below the dusty carpet floor
when opened which peered my eyes
into the dark setting below
and I discovering
a mysterious room
I had never seen before

Descending into the mysterious room
resembled a gradual rebellion
for all I have known
each curious step led a profound urge
uncovering a forced inhibition
each curious step led darkness
to disappear giving way to natural light

each breath brought the unknown scent
to a familiar taste

first black and white milky figures
swirling round a circular room
twisting each other till
splitting into a rainbow array

The magical room
filled with colouful play and fun
never known before

The magical room
words of wondrous love and spells
painted everywhere

Rosy soft and cotton cushions
to dream peacefully upon
in the mysterious room
whose existence
I never knew before

Again and again
I come to explore the farout reaches
of this mysterious room
To swim in deep oceans
To search for treasures hidden below
My world beneath the blankets
hidden to everyone but me

One day during my usual wanderings
in the magical room
I got lost admist the many shapes and colors
Found myself in a treacherous maze
eyes could sparingly see
past the dense and dark haze
I fall while scurrying to search for myself
deeper into the unknown
fighting and fearing for my own dear life
I glimpsed a faint yellow light
coming form the creak of a door
which I opened

Alas, I had escaped from the magical room
and ended up in the next story far from my house

its pretty long so i'll give you the main idea. A kid thinks he knows his house and finds it boring. Then one day he finds this mysterious room in his house which he has never seen before. he visits the place frequently and one day he gets lost. Trying to find an exit he stumbles upon a door which leads him out of the room and into the world.

My business partner, Jacob Marley, died seven years ago, (dead as a doornail)and now i am seeing his ghost everywhere! I saw his face on my doorknocker, on the carvings on his mantelpiece, then the bells in the house started ringing, and the ghost of Marley appeared, wearing a long chain, with the objects, representing his sins (ledgers, money boxes, keys and so on). He talked to me and said that I would wear the same chain after I died, and mine would be longer (I am in a money lending business)! He told me to change my ways, and that three more ghosts would visit me! I do not drink, do not smoke, do not take drugs, in a good health, and had some gruel for supper! What should I do?
