26. Tears

So I read an email this morning that really hurt my heart. Disasters happen, people die, and others come together to help those in need. I was born in Oklahoma, and I live only a few miles from what they call “The Tornado Alley” (Moore, Oklahoma). I remember the May 3^rd tornado in 1999, and it was devastating but at least tornados are something most Oklahomans are knowledgeable about. The May 3^rd F5 tornado resulted in about 36 casualties. What happened Wednesday night killed more than 300 people. However, it is one in particular that leaves me with a heavy heart.  The tornados went through Tuscaloosa, home of the University of Alabama and ended the life of a fellow brother of Delta Sigma Pi. From what I’ve heard she was a business student that wanted to go to law school and had a bright future ahead of her. As a senior I've had a lot of time to think about gratuation, and it beings me tears to think of graduation invitations never to be sent. Such a tragedy…  I didn’t know Brother Ashley Harrison personally but I do know one thing; the world is better because she dwelt upon it. Her family will be in my prayers.

Another collage of struggles and sacrifice. What is our world coming to....

# 76. Broken Pieces

This is a drawing style I’ve been messing around with for a while. Mostly I’ve just been doodling around with it. Mainly because doodles are all I have had time for this last week. I heard on the radio once that supposedly students that doodle while taking notes remember the lecture better. It makes sense though when you get into doing something artistic you get this clear focus. If you are truly focused I guess it would make sense that your listening skills are vamped up as well. I’m not sure if it’s true or not but I like it!

Just for fun I decided to include some of my doodles. Sometimes I’ll start drawing something in class and then decide I don’t want to spoil it with note taking, so my notes end up on another page.
