Today, I want to talk about something super cool I’ve been digging into – coins from ancient Egypt. Yeah, those really, really old coins from the land of pyramids and pharaohs. I’ve always been a bit of a history buff, and when I stumbled upon this, I just had to dive deeper. So, first off, I started by hitting up the usual spots – you know, the internet, some old books, basically, I was in full-on research mode. I wanted to know everything: what these coins looked like, what they…

Alright, let me tell you about this whole Diocletian coin thing I got into recently. It all started a few weeks ago when I was watching a video about ancient coins. I thought, “Hey, that looks kind of cool, maybe I should try collecting some myself.” So, I began to do some digging. First, I just watched a bunch of videos to get a feel for the whole coin-collecting scene. There’s a ton of stuff out there, let me tell you. I mean, people are really into this stuff! These…

Okay, so today I dug into this thing called “The Evolution of the American Dream” by Eva Bod. It was quite a ride, let me tell you. First off, I started by just reading the whole thing. Just to get a feel for what Bod was saying, you know? It’s all about how this “American Dream” idea has changed over time. At first, I just skimmed it quickly, then I went back and read it more carefully, highlighting the parts that seemed important, like where she talked about the history…

Hey everybody, so I got this idea the other day to mess around with some Dr. Seuss stuff. You know, that guy who wrote all those wacky kids’ books? Well, it turns out he did a bunch of paintings at night, just for kicks. They call them his “Midnight Paintings.” I thought, why not give it a shot myself? So, I grabbed some canvases and paints, cleared off my kitchen table, and waited until everyone else was asleep. It felt kinda sneaky, like I was doing something I wasn’t supposed…

So, I got this idea in my head a while back about getting a scorpion katana. I’d seen some videos online, and these things looked tough as nails, you know? Like you could chop down a tree with one and it wouldn’t even blink. But I’d also heard some mixed things. Some folks said they were amazing, best swords ever. Others said they were more like clubs, heavy and not very sword-like. It got me wondering if those companies online selling them were legit or not. With all those online…

Hey everyone, it’s your buddy here, back with another one of my little adventures in understanding stuff. So, today’s journey took me into the depths of the Bible, looking into “examples of wickedness”. Yeah, heavy stuff, I know. But stick with me, it got pretty interesting. First off, I started by just diving into the Bible itself. I figured, why not go straight to the source, right? I flipped through pages, read a bunch of verses, and let me tell you, the Bible doesn’t shy away from dishing out the…

Okay, so, today I was digging into the works of this artist named Ellen Thesleff. Born way back in 1869, died in 1954, she was a Finnish painter. I’d seen her name pop up a few times when I was reading about modernist painters in Finland, and I was like, “Alright, let’s see what she’s all about.” First thing I did was hit up Google. You know, the usual suspects: Google Images, Google Books, even Google Scholar, just to get a general feel for her work and what people were…

Today, I took on this painting project, inspired by James Christensen’s “The Responsible Woman.” I’ve always liked how whimsical his stuff is, and this one, with the lady floating above the trees, really caught my eye. So, I decided, why not give it a shot myself? First off, I gathered all my painting supplies. I laid out my canvases, dug out my brushes, and mixed a bunch of acrylic paints. I wanted to get that dreamy, ethereal vibe that Christensen is known for, so I picked a palette of soft…

Today, I was looking up some information about Japanese demons. I found this topic pretty interesting, so I thought I’d share my little adventure with you all. First off, I started by just Googling “Japanese demon names.” Man, there’s a ton of stuff out there! These names are called “Yokai” in Japan. I clicked on a few sites and began to read up on what these Yokai are all about. It turns out, Yokai are a big deal in Japanese folklore. They aren’t just your regular, run-of-the-mill demons. There are…

Okay, so I gotta tell you about this whole Scott Houghton thing. It all started a couple weeks ago when I was digging into some old football stuff, you know, just for kicks. I stumbled upon this name, Scott Houghton, and it rang a bell but I couldn’t place it. So, naturally, I started poking around to see what this guy was all about. First thing I did was fire up my computer and hit up the usual spots on the web, trying to get a basic idea of who…
