This album is called "Songs for the Deaf" by Queens of the Stone Age. It's one of my favorite albums of all time. I'm a big fan of rock and metal music, which the album offers with near-perfect execution. Drum solos, incredible riffs, anything you could ask for from a rock album.

This is a portrait I painted of my favorite actor, Samuel L. Jackson. It's based on his appearance as Jules, from "Pulp Fiction", in a 60s pop art style. I took an art class in high school to experiment and give myself a creative outlet. I'm not a professional artist, but besides the headaches, it was a very enjoyable experience. I love movies, and "Pulp Fiction" is one of my all-time favorites. The satisfaction I got from finishing this is something I will never forget.

This is the Hard Rock Hotel in Cancun, Mexico. It's a luxury hotel that I had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of going to for my cousin's wedding. Cancun had the most breathtaking water I'd ever seen in my life. It looked straight up like blue Gatorade. I even got to redline it on a jet ski. It was incredibly fun and something I surely won't forget for a long time. 

This is a picture of the Illinois state Park, Starved Rock. The cliffs were quite the sight to see. In person, they are so imposing and monolithic even. All my friends and I went there for a hiking trip.  It reminded me of the Fellowship of the Ring from The Lord of the Rings and so I played music from the movie while we were hiking. We all slept and fell a couple of times because it had been raining a few days before, and so the dirt was still wet. I have very fond memories of that day.

So cute what the heck 

This is my dog. I love my dog. She is a silly dog. She is best dog. Enough said.
