Draw Something

I have recently come across a revolutionary new app. It is called Draw Something (by the same people who brought you Words With Friends). You are assigned a random person over the internet to draw something for. You can choose from three words, an easy one, a medium one, and a hard one. The harder the word, the more coins you get. You can trade in coins for new colors to draw with.

Now, as you know, I love drawing. I have been drawing since I was eight months old (but unlike other people, I haven't stopped). So this sounded like the perfect app for me. And I don't want to sound egotistical here, so I'm not going to brag about my skills at this game. I will just show you some highlights of my best Draw Somethings.

Hopefully, you can read what the drawings are supposed to be, but if you can't, here they are from top to bottom: Cowboy, Clay, Sith, Catwoman. The first one is Clint Eastwood in THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY. The second is Colonel Clay from THE LOSERS. The third is, of course, Darth Vader. And the fourth is pretty self-explanatory.

And I will advise you to think before you dismiss these. Before saying "My four-year old kid could do that", let's see YOU Draw Something better. I'll admit, I am not the best Draw Something artist out there, but seeing as I did all these on a tiny iPod Touch screen with my index finger, please... a little respect.

Bye!

No More American Jobs

Steve Jobs is dead.

There. I just broke the story. The news came out LITERALLY twenty seconds ago, making me one of the 9,000 bloggers in the world to tell you this within the first five minutes of the 'aftermath'.

Jobs had been sick for some time with numerous kinds of internal cancerous problems. Also, he recently resigned his CEO post, which, if this was a novel, would be referred to by my annoying english teacher as 'foreshadowing'.

Fortunately, there is hope. Jobs left behind a prototype 'iClone' app, which could be used to resurrect him and have him up and inventing in no time.

This really is a metaphor for the economy. It can be added into the great pantheon of name puns: Bernie Madoff, who MADE OFF with a ton of people's money. Anthony Wiener, who texted a pic of his wiener. Rick Santorum, who... never mind.

And Steve Jobs, whose death has now become synonymous with the great death of American jobs. Hence this post's title.

So, in memory, I give you... Steve Jobs.
