Chrome Sphere
Inside her mind was a chrome sphere.
It bent things to see as she wished and made the rest disappear.
I removed it to inspect and behold it’s shine,
and was shocked to see that in it, the reflection was mine.
Winning
The only way you can ever fail is to give up.
Success is what happens when you give up on losing.
Winning is failure at its finest,
for when you have won, you are done.
I’m not being poetic here, I am being philosophic if anything. Life is fun because we are never in a situation where we can just sit there in paradise, that is, unless you are one of the few people who ever reaches that point of fame. Yet we have people that famous, and know what a lot of them do? They tackle problems, like hunger and stuff. They don’t need to, and people can say it’s for money but they don’t need more money.
No one wants to win, everyone wants to succeed. Succeeding is like a lesser form of winning, a form which is less depressing because you have to keep succeeding in order to hold on to your place of success.
I’m going to strive for success.

I took this one awhile back, then forgot to post it! Oops! Here it is now.
Wells Fargo Still Hates Planets, but my Card was Approved
Hurray! After one /sad email and another submit of my own logo, I got that card approved with the Projection On Paper logo/favicon on it.
They claimed it was copyright reasons that I had it rejected the first time. I doubt they actually found my blog; they probably just thought he must have stolen the picture because it looks so awesome.

Wells Fargo Hates Planets
It’s true. I heard that I could customize my new card from Wells Fargo, so I figured I would use my personal logo; the one in this website’s favicon with the big orange sun and the bright little blue planet.
I got an email at 3 A.M (I am hoping for their sake though that it was a better hour where they were) saying my image has been rejected.
I went down the list. Offensive, no. Obviously, having created the image myself, I own the rights. No dead animals. Not a flag. Not political or religious (discounting a few odd blue-planet sects here and there, but that was not why I made the planet blue), not representing money.
This leaves only one possibility. Wells Fargo hates planets.
Projection on Paper
So after getting canceled due to weather earlier, we finally got to try projecting the sun onto paper for astronomy class. When searching “Projection on paper”, you get the occasional astronomy reference. This is because one way of viewing the sun safely is to project its image onto paper. This can be done a number of ways, including simply poking a pin hole into a note card and then holding it in the suns path. You can also use a telescope that is greatly filtered to view the sun, as well as thick welders glass.
Shattered
“I dropped it.”
“Pick it up.”
“I can’t.”
“Why not?”
“It shattered.”
“Glue it back!”
“I can’t.”
“Why not?”
“I lost the pieces.”
“Can you find them?”
“I can’t.”
“I can help.”

A serene sight outside of the orchestra hall. I like the audio clip a lot here too. That was what caught my attention, followed by the water. I took two this time.
First I took this one.
Unsatisfied with the audio, I then took this one right after it. Too much wind drowned out the birds the first time!
