Coolest Drum Kit Ever!

I already think Gotye is amazing but after watching this video I'm totally in love with how talented he is, and I have a whole new appreciation for him. Plus, I think it should be my mission in life to bring a cool music park like the one at the beginning of this video, to our little town.

Imagine...

Okay, I love art and music and anything creative really.... I also love helping people. Combining the two is amazing. I mean, could it get any better? Check this out... but before you do, get the Kleenex out!

"My sister always tells me, when I am down or had a bad day : "Just put on your big girl panties and life will be easier." Or " Don't get your knickers in a knot girl, it solves nothing and makes you walk funny." My sister has a very large heart and always cheers me up.
~ Elly

 

"This is one of my latest paintings and I call it "Silver Lining".  The meaning it has for me is to be grateful for the trials (clouds) in life cause there is always a silver lining to them.  Life is always full of trials, and as someone says "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" or another favorite one of mine is "Woman is a like a tea bag, you don't know how strong she is until you put her in hot water." ~ Juhl
