Episode 6: "Lice Lice Baby"

I think this one is my favorite so far. It's a little shorter than the other full episodes, but I love the random humor in it.

My parents always said...

My parents always said that ever since I was young, I have always been able to entertain myself. I think that this is a very useful tool to have in life. There have been many times where I was alone, or with other people and there was down time. Down time, with nothing particular to do, can be horrible if there is nothing done with it.

So here are a couple of examples of how I have found myself creating entertainment for myself and others.

1) Toys:
Toys are a wonderful thing. I can honestly say that toys have saved my life from boredom time and time again. Anything action figures to Rubik's cubes: Toys are life necessary in my book.

Example:

2) Simple things:
I have seen some very elaborate advertisements, movies with amazing visual effects, and technology that can do anything that anyone would ever want to do. Saying this, I have also seen all of those from a horrible light. Such as advertisements that have so much "flair" that it's hard to access the information it is throwing in your face. Horrible plot lines that, not matter how amazing the explosions are, just don't serve the movie justice. I don't think I need to expand on technology here.
Simple things are wonderful. Simple things are attractive. Simple things are efficient and in some cases fun. I like fun and simple things.
I am like a child with a cardboard box. I can have fun with a single piece of paper and a pen. Trading my $0.25 for a bouncy ball from a quarter machine is the best investment I have ever made. A simple, yet creative, message with text alone can bring joy.

Example:

So, I hope you find enjoyment in the little things in life. Big fancy things are not always the way to go. Find joy in everything you do, it's well worth it.

Today I was taking notes in class. I drew this wonderful man... who, for reasons unknown, was angry at the world, and he was saying just as much with his body language.
