Happy Trees

Remember the happy trees, happy clouds painter guy on PBS? Today we here at Blogagaard learned his name was Bob Ross. This dude could make a great looking landscape painting in about a half-hour, which is insane, and the whole time he did it serenly, with a positive, mellow voice, and this seems somehow even more insane. But today, as we watched him paint before our afternoon nap, he said something inspiring. He told us it was our world, and we could anything we wanted with it, at least on our canvas.

What is your canvas, dear sparrows? What happy things are your creating out of the ether of these harsh, unmellow modern times?

Now, I'm off to go drive my Corvette.

Poor guy, I guess he died a couple of years ago. I loved his white man's afro though.

I think we all learned something from that afro. I think we all did.

Dave, thank you for talking about Mr. Ross. I love him and his happy little trees.

In my world the trees are fairly blockish and have unconvincing green tops. Also, the people inhabiting my world are stick men.

Anon, I like how the counter of that site, which looks like it's been around a while, says "61"

Am I the only who's getting freaked out thinking about how the moon is waning every second on my moon cycle thingy?

It's 5% more wanier than the last time I checked. It is a little disturbing.

There have been some doubters as to me really owning a corvette or not. It is true, I own a corvette. It is simply a very small corvette.
