corner view "different perspective"

For my corner view, I think I'll talk about the different perspectives of children and adults.

To children, the world is big and wonderful. There are so many new sights to see, people to meet and things to try. Everything is an adventure. 

To most adults, the world can be a pain most of the time. Work, rushing around, errands, driving everywhere. They lose the childlike innocence. They've seen most of the things children get so excited about like the ocean or a mountain or bubbles floating in the air, but to an adult, these things are nothing special. But you can always, no matter what age, see beauty in everything and keep that childlike innocence forever.

corner view "anything goes" or as I like to say, "randomness" :)

Earlier this month, I decided to do some art. I'm not very good at drawing, I'll admit. So sometimes I go on Photoshop, take a picture and trace over the picture section by section, color by color. Let me tell you, it's very time consuming. There is a name for this kind of art work, but I can't remember the name. Something that starts with a "T". Anyway, since I'm really into Robin Williams at the moment and I was frustrated at my many attempts to draw him on paper (they didn't turn out well) I decided to turn to my trusty computer. :)

 It took me a while, but it was worth it. What do you think?

The Faces of Shawn

I have to tell you something about my little brother. He's awesome. Really! He's one of those people with that special spark. He's very strong, very cool, and VERY generous. Every so often he will give me free Pokemon cards (something he and my sister, Annabel are very into right now). And, usually, even if he's in a bad mood, he'll give me a hug. Well, sometimes he says, "I'm not mad at you, Skylar, I'm mad at mom." :)

Here are the diferent faces of Shawn...

corner view "autumn"

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.  ~Albert Camus

Where I am, we don't have seasons. It's summer all the time! :) So I take advantage of it when I can when we travel in autumn, which is rare. 


I've always imagined sitting in front of a fire on a chilly autumn night. But if we sat in front of a fire here? Yuck! 


My best autumn memory was in California, one November. My mom came out with my little sister and me and we jumped in piles of leaves for hours. :)

corner view "famous"

Me, well, I've told you people that I have admirations. Or obsessions, if it's necessary to call them that. But for me, I'm picky. Probably the first obsession was my Daddy. :) Then came Cathy Rigby after watching Peter Pan so many times that my sister and I could recite it from beginning to end. Then came the Beatles! Oh yes, an obsession that lasted 2 1/2 years. The longest one ever! Then came Amma. Robin Williams came when I was ten -- such a funny dude! It wasn't really an obsession at that point. Then Tom Hanks. Then Michael Jackson, one of my bigger ones. And now, Robin Williams again. Except this time, it's more of an obsession, plus, I can now see the PG-13 movies. :) Back then, I couldn't see much. And I couldn't see his stand-ups, he's not exactly...clean. But I love him anyway... :)

Anyway, all of these people changed my life in big ways and subtle ways. Whether it was teaching me music, making me want to learn gymnastics, teaching me joy and harmonies, teaching me compassion, or how to take on different characters when I act, or how gentleness and power can be combined into something brilliant, or how to make people laugh. I wish I could personally thank them for all that they've done for me. Maybe, some day, except for Michael, *sniff sniff*. Of course, I thank my dad all the time. :)

 Thank you Google for the Pictures :)

So, these are my favorite famous people! For more famous people, go to my mom, Theresa.
