The Vandals of Creativity

They pack
And attack
That which they do not have.

With heavy sarcasm
And timid aspirations,
Gleaming new thoughts
Are smashed
By the vandals
Of creativity.

I read the above in an ad many years ago.  I don't even know now what was being advertised, but I cut out the page and put it on my bulletin board, and it has followed me around ever since.  It strikes me as one of the truisms of life, and something that artists of all kinds have to fight against every day.  Just a reminder to not let anyone keep us down, steal our strength, our creativity, our raison d'etre.

  1. The wheels also include an upgrade twist – if a participant lands on the ‘upgrade’ segment of the wheel, he will be taken to the next prize wheel in line, with the chance to spin it. Keep in thoughts that Upgrades apply only to Rare and Epic Wheels. Slots games are available in} all sorts of types, from three-reel classics to top-paying, five-reel Jackpot games. And whether or not you are a slots traditionalist otherwise you choose your games to be extra cutting-edge, 영앤리치 토토 ready to} guarantee we've got something to keep you amused and entertained for hours. From fruit-based retro themes to scary Halloween creepiness, there actually is something for each kind of gaming fan.
