Here's a happy face for you!

Rants and Raves, A Little Belated

One of my favorite segments on Fox News Channel’s The Factor is Watters World. Why? Well, because it’s so much fun to see people make themselves look ridiculous (HAHAHA….HA!). I can’t tell you how many times Jesse Waters holds up a sign of a picture of a politician, let’s say a picture of Nancy Pelosi (*ew*) or Joe Biden (*gagging*), and young people, in their twenties, look at it, maybe stare at it for a bit and eventually say “I don’t know,” as a glazed look passes over their eyes. What is it with our generation being so uninformed? Why is reality television so popular, when it clearly is not reality?? We all know The Real Housewives of New York, Atlanta, and wherever The Real Housewives live, are not real housewives. Ask your mother or someone else’s mother. She’ll tell you who is a real housewife. I heard on FNC that the average person during the 2012 Presidential Election watched, read and/or listened to three hours of election coverage. That’s it? I know I watched at least three hours of election news each day - I even tweeted during every debate! And another thing that really pisses me off is the fact that immigrants complain that they don’t get to vote – they just get to live here. Well you know what? It took me eighteen years to get the opportunity to vote, and it wasn’t even that much fun (nothing like the Obama commercials with Lena Dunham), the options were just ‘eh’. 

It's a Plug!

I went to The Dump (the actual store, not the ... anyway) today and I saw something that just drove me mad. The store sells artwork, or should I say "artwork". They sell mass produced pieces, and the "artwork" isn't cheap. I saw one "painting" with the price tag of $799. I wanted to scream. Why you may ask? Well because you could buy original art for that price! Painted by a real person!

Here are a few reasons why original artwork is worth it:

1. it's original
2. the artist could become super famous (yes, super famous, not just famous) in the future and you would just happen to have one of their originals
3. it's original
4. there are millions of artists that produce work that needs a good home
5. it's original
6. Earth without art is Eh

Interested?? Visit bethellencohen.blogspot.com to see my favourite artists' work :)

Feel free to pass this on...really...I'm not kidding...thx

And by the way, What better way to say Happy New Year or Merry Belated Christmas or Happy Valentines Day or Happy Birthday or Congratulations on a new house, job, baby, car, pet, etc. than a piece of art? Support the arts!

Yes. You see it correctly. That's Arnold at The Frye Company store at 113 Spring Street NYC.

PictureOfTheDay and Other Stuff

It's that time of year again, where you just want to buy a whole bunch of stuff that you've wanted, or at least you think wanted it. Well, I hadn't thought of anything else to write after that...

It's finals time for us college age kids. This is dead week here at Tech, but it's been pretty lively - I've had dead-er weeks before. I've got just a week left: two term papers, one nine pages and the other six and half (and I used a normal font, I didn't need an 'extender' font), two psychology finals, an Intro. to StaC final and a computer science final (shudder - wince - balling up into the fetal position).

Here's your PictureOfTheDay:

Happy Festivus!
