I’ve discovered some nice shepard fairey prints online at shepardfaireyprints.com, along with some pretty interesting obey giant art. I’ve never really been all that keen on art, but now and then I do see some work that catches my eye such as this collection. This shepard fairey art is authentic and they have out of print work offers there as well.
The Internet makes appreciating and learning about artists. They have taken a lot of music and art out of schools, for budgeting issues, which is a real drag. If you aren’t brought up with art in your life and not given a chance in school to find out about it, it makes it difficult to get into later in life. If it wasn’t for what I learned in school, in art class, I really would be pretty much clueless about most art. I basically about shephard fairey art because of his famous Obama HOPE poster that became so popular during last year’s election, how can anyone forget this classic?
I just got back from having my taxes done and I am glad to say that I’ll be getting a few bucks back from good old Uncle Sam, I have to say that it really hurts to have to shell out so much money to the tax preparer. I really don’t have all that much involved when it comes to my taxes. It’s not like I was able to take advantage of the recently extended First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit, although I did have a lot of medical and charitable deductions that certainly helped the situation. Well worth the time and effort it took to keep track of all of those pesky pieces of paperwork for the past year.
There are a lot of options (credits, deductions, etc.) out there for people to utilize for the yearly tax issues. I can’t imagine doing taxes for a living, way too many variables involved there and when you are dealing with other people’s money you really need to be careful! My luck some one would get upset with what I had done and come after me with a shotgun or something crazy like that.
I did find an interesting video on You Tube that I wanted to post here for anyone interested in learning about the Home Buyer Tax Credit Extension. Anything to keep more money in our pockets and not the I.R.S. right?!
The statistics can be found online about the drug and alcohol abuse that is on the rise. It seems that when the economy is in turmoil people find ways to ease the pain and most likely they will turn to drugs and/or alcohol. It is sad, but true and I’m glad that there are quality Residential Drug Rehab centers opening up all across the country that can help people in their times of need.
This is a subject that is no longer being kept in the dark. Dr. Drew opened up a lot of people’s minds about Drug Detox and Alcohol Rehab with his Celebrity Rehab television series on VH1. Celebrities have always been known to struggle with addiction issues, and we are a society that thrives on what all the celebrities are wearing and doing. Dr. Drew’s series gave some good information for the general public to chew on and has made this subject easier to discuss and I’m grateful to him for that.
Most of us know some one who needs help in this area, the Internet is a valuable tool and has become a great resource to find information concerning addiction and dependency issues. Hopefully the economy will be easing up and the stress levels of the general population will decrease and life will go on for most of us. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
There has been a big push in our community to get people to purchase and install good quality mail boxes. The city is having the street numbers painted on the curbs in front of people’s residences, but they are also asking that the Residential Mailboxes and Commercial Mailboxes have the street numbers printed on them so that our emergency personnel can locate the proper address in a timely fashion.
At a time when every second counts, in the event of an emergency it is best to have everything in place to make the most out of what our taxes are being used for. There has been several times lately that our emergency personnel have not been able to get to where they need to be due to Mailboxes not having the name and proper address on them.
A mailbox can make a difference and I’d like to get the word out here in hopes that more people will take note and possibly save a few lives in the mean time. I’m very glad that our city council has stepped up to the plate and is taking action in this area.
Well, I heard that President Obama commented that he can’t bowl very well. Something to the effect that when he bowls, he looks like he’s participating in the Special Olympics. And I’ve heard that there’s been a lot of hoopla about how that was a disparaging comment “insult” to the people who do actually participate in the Special Olympics. Well, I don’t think that President Obama meant to insult anyone. Everyone knows that the people who participate in the Special Olympics are handicapped. And that handicapped people are “differently abled” and sometimes have to expend extra effort to achieve what many of us take for granted. It’s too bad that there is always so much attention paid to people’s errors; I think that it was not ill-intended and I wish people would find better things to complain about!
