V-Day

Valentine's Day, the day that everyone on the internet hates because everyone on the internet is on the internet. But I, for one, don't think that Valentine's Day is all that bad. It is a fun day where you get candy and cards and, if you are lucky enough, something really special. Like duct tape roses.

I spent the majority of my Sunday sitting in my room making duct tape roses and watching Smallville. I saw the instructions to make the duct tape roses on some duct tape how to site. I really have no idea why I was there, but it all worked out good. I didn't have red or green tape to spice the roses up so I tried to depend totally on the perfection of the petals and stem. It's just too bad that the shapes of the petals and stem didn't turn out to spectacular as well. The picture on the top of the two duct tape roses shown here is what my normal grey duct tape roses actually looked like and the picture on the bottom is that same picture all photoshoped up to look somewhat like what I hoped they ended up. (I kind of liked the original picture with the background and all as well.)

I had the great idea of selling a ton of roses around school on this Valentine's Day, but I didn't think of this soon enough and wasn't able to get the red and green dut tape that I needed in order to create a product worthy of selling. After seeing people's reactions to just the normal grey duct tape roses I wish that I had whipped up a whole lot more of them to sell to people. I would have made mad cash. Note the diagram below.


After a good four hours, or so, of late night sweat shop work the tendons in my hands were literally grinding across my knuckles. I finally finished the last of a dozen personally made duct tape roses for my Valentine bouquet and went to bed. Over night I had a dream. A dreamt of a magic talking fork that was a food critic for popular restraunts. His name was Steve.
