My arthritis is being a right SOB in my right shoulder, I do have an
Orth appointment in a few weeks. You got 2 new stories was it yesterday,
so no new story today, though there are 100 on the site if you just
keep on diving like Doreen did in Finding Nemo
My shoulder is playing up so no new story today so here's a repeat.
Drawing a Picture with Words (c) from 2011
By
Michael Casey
A
picture is worth 1000 words, and its true. A photo will show more
detail and instantly convey so much more that a paragraph or more or
even an entire article. I have lots of photos of me covered in ice cream
like a big kid, or Panzi which is my Chinese nickname, Fat Fat Boy. So a
photo shows I'm just a big kid, even if the teachers ask am I the
granddad when I pick up my kids from school. In fact I'm the dad is my
reply. Photos convey happiness, that’s family photos. News photographers
will capture sadness and pain and suffering, and the occasional piece
of joy. Years back I was surgically attached to a basic snap camera and I
was there to capture all the drunken activities of the people I worked
with. When you have your own kids you take lots of snaps and invest in a
digital camera so that you can email photos to Shanghai or where ever
the mother in law is best kept. Absence does make the heart grow fonder,
is what they say.
Drawing
is a different medium, it changes things, it can soften or exaggerate,
it can bring things down to earth, it can deflate politicians. Its like a
close up that pulls back, then it reveals that the politician is hiding
something, even if it reveals the politician is sitting on the toilet
with his pants down and he is wearing ladies underwear, just like
Pinnochio in Shrek. I wish I could draw but I cannot. I can give 1000
ideas to a cartoonist but I just cannot draw. My wife is very very good
and my girls probably inherit their drawing skills from her. I try and
draw pictures with words, but I am aware I need a minute or two to paint
my picture,whereas a cartoonist can do something in seconds. So I'm
jealous of artists, I'm also jealous of songwriters who get to the
punchline so much faster than me. However when I do get a poem right,
then I get a result fast. Perhaps I should not talk in terms of
competition, the biggest competition is with ourselves. One of the best
compliments I ever got about my writing was that I lead up the path and
put a picture in somebody's mind. God Bless Gill.

| Introduction |
I'm from Birmingham England, Don't confuse me with the Monk, or the
Dublin guy or even the USA guy, all of the SAME name. They are NOT me, I
did get 21,000 Polish readers in 3 weeks just by word of mouth when I
put a Translation on my site. So join them and read my stuff. Prose is
so pretentious, I write stuff. Good stuff, judging by the reader
numbers.
I STILL HAVE TO BE Discovered or Disinfected one or the other, As I am
not on Anti-Social Media.
