Shark Week 2

Steve Hutchison

Summary

Nothing puts a smile on a shark’s face like Shark Week. Getting your leg bitten off is trendier than getting a tattoo, nowadays. It makes a great story to tell and you can even make a movie about it.

When they are not exploring space, growing five additional heads, or traveling by means of tornadoes, sharks are busy getting turned into robots, lava, sand, ice, or ghosts. Sharks are our friends, except when they’re hungry, which they usually are. If you show signs of weakness or hostility, you will be attacked. If you bleed, you will be attacked. Shark Week is the time of the year when you do not want to be swimming with sharks.

In this second edition of Shark Week, I review 78 shark movies and rank them from pathetic to great. Watch them in order; they will only get better!

History of Modern Art

Intro Books

The artistic creations made between about the 1860s and the 1970s are considered modern art. According to history, a Frenchman named Edouard Manet witnessed modern art in the 18th century. However, it was thought that the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood had begun modern painting before the Frenchman, given the works they produced throughout the 18th and 19th centuries lacked the typical academic art forms. Following the Pre-Raphaelites, various changes and movements occurred in the field of art.

Heels Across a Wooden Floor

Mike Blake

Heels Across a Wooden Floor: A Poem / Song lyrics  
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086KTZMKP 
About the eternal pull of love, from a dancing perspective.  
Imagine walking into a nightclub, and seeing the woman of your dreams skipping across 
the dance floor; elegantly, with heels that she uses to swivel and cavort in an organic  
fashion. Enticing you to join, even if you can't dance, at least with your eyes. 
And to the women, giving over to an abduction of your senses into the realms of the  
dance, urging you to join in that sensual celebration.
