@natecull I once received a critique for my stories that there was "no reason for the main character to be a girl because there is nothing girl-specific so it might aswell be a boy"

Some say my Grandfather looks like Carl from Up, but tall and skinny.
He's a big inspiration to me.
He's an amazing artist, even though he was born colorblind.
As a child I used to sit on his desk and help him pick colors. He'd ask "Is this leaf-green?" and show me a bright pink pencil.
Today he suffers from cataract and his dominant arm was crippled in a car accident. Neither keeps him from drawing.
This is my favorite of his drawings - "Easter Walk".

While the legendary Stones are performing in my hometown today my dad and I went to a Johnny Cash tribute. It was held in a small, cozy atrium surrounded by green and the stage was propped with life-size plush cactuses. During the intro a dog randomly walked on stage and they couldn't get it to leave so they just let it be. The fiddler forgot his fiddle at the bar and the mexican stereotypes were too drunk to time their trumpets. It was one of the loveliest concerts I have seen.
