A true artist creates art because s/he has to. Simple as that. Whether they are able to sell their work for profit matters little in the definition as to whether they are a true artist. When making art, we cannot judge ourselves. The creative force is personal expression. It is what it is. When done…
I would like to begin by stating that I enjoy nice weather. I’m a huge fan. And I certainly don’t want to come off as a complainer about the recent situation. After all, a person who’s recovering from the flu has no business being outside when it’s a typical January or February day in Chicago,…

Dear Sleepy-Type Cold Medicine, I just took you, so you’ll pardon the formality of this letter, since we’re already more intimate than I make us out to be. But I wanted to ask you a favor. The begging of favors requires politeness and politeness requires a nice letter. You know how it is. I’m not…
To Whom It May Concern: Ah, the internet…where just anyone can post their thoughts—whether they be mindful or misdirected—and have the whole world bear witness. I read this article recently.
