Every now and again I stumble upon someone who decides to paint me a painting.

“Who would paint you a painting” you ask rudely.

“Only one person!” I shout while cowering in the corner.

It’s Alexa if you couldn’t figure out where I was going with this.

Now, why haven’t I accepted a painting before? Simple, I only allow the best of the best to paint me stuff.

And not only do you have to be a painter/artist/comedian/entrepreneur, you must also sing.

That’s right, you must sing to me as you paint my picture or no deal!

Oh and you also have to be beautiful.

Definitely beautiful.

And I’m not just talking normal beautiful. It must Alexa beautiful or no deal!

Do you understand?!

She is talented and beautiful and awesome and talented and beautiful and awesome.

Oh and Alexa…. Please don’t eat sushi off of the conveyor belt.

A word to the wise. A restaurant that runs out of ice is not a good restaurant.

Brothers and sisters. Sisters and brothers.

Brother, Sister, Brother.

No matter what order you put that in it is always right. These are the people you love more than life itself.

Life seems dull without them.

So when you see pictures like these you can’t help but understand the love. The connection between siblings.

It can’t be duplicated or copied.

It has to be Brother, Brother, Sister.

Or Sister, Brother, Brother.

Whatever the order it is in doesn’t matter. It always spells the same thing.

Love.

They say every time a bell rings an Angel gets its wings. But what if that Angel already has wings. In this instance a curious things happens.

Double wings.

What is the difference between wings and double wings?

Super sonic flight, Mind control, The ability to eat Asparagus, and two more things that I cannot name due to sworn secrecy.

Now what if that that Angel’s name is Angel?

Simple, She becomes an agent of counter espionage.

I’m kidding of course.

She actually becomes Angel Squared. A Planetary Savior sent from the Galactic Alliance.

She has the ability to freeze men with her beauty. Sometimes she just wears a tutu and blows peoples minds.

This girl…. Hold on a sec. I checked Wikipedia.

So she is either a Planetary Savior or the killer known as Jigsaw. One or the other, I’m not sure.

I love you Ms. Pickles!

***It took me three hours to write this because I would look at a picture for what seemed to be a few seconds but was actually fifteen minutes.

 Family is an interesting thing.

There are times when you are annoyed with each other. There are times when you are angry at each other. Sometimes it’s a combination of the two.

But there are also those times when you cant even look someone in the eye because you are so irritated with them.

And then when the irritation becomes so high you…. I’m rambling. What was I talking about?

Oh ya, Family.

Listen, there are times when you are angry and irritated. But you get passed it and overcome.

As long as you love each other no obstacle will stand in your way.

And that is what I think the definition of family is.

A love so strong that in moments of anger or irritation you cant help but say “I love this person with all of my heart, but man he/she really annoys the bejeezus out of me”. ***

That is my definition at least.

And I think these pictures clearly illustrate that.

*** Dogs are counted as a member of the family. But not cats, they run away and never come back.

I’m talking to you Kade if you’re reading this.

I am going to ask you a question and you have to answer honestly. Have you ever seen a woman that is a more beautiful sight than a flower? No? I didn’t think so. But I have found just that woman. Don’t believe me? Five bucks says I’m right. You’re on!

Look at the pictures.

Have you looked at them yet? No. Okay, hurry up.

 Did you see them yet? Some of them. Alright, finish up.

Ya that’s what I thought. Something truly beautiful.

So, uh…. Where’s my five bucks?

What do you mean you don’t have it? What do you mean you will pay me when you get the money? I thought we were friends. This is unacceptable.

What? No. Don’t look at me like that.

Alright, fine! You don’t have to pay me. But just know the next time you need money I am not giving you any.
