I discovered the artist Brian Andreas in a little shop called Hands Gallery in downtown San Luis Obispo, and have LOVED his work ever since. He combines quirky sketches with short dictums about life, love, adventure, coffee, chocolate,...anything! Many times they are completely random (which is probably why I love them so much) but in some way they will always remind you of yourself, or someone you know. They also help to remind me about the little jewels of LIVING which we can so easily let pass us by if we're not careful to notice them.
I've recently subscribed to his "Story of the Day" e-mails, which means each day I get a new Story delivered right to my inbox! If you've seen me on buzz or gchat, you've probably seen more than a few of the particularly great ones posted.
I'll share this Story in honor of my Kunming host Amber. She can eat more chocolate than anyone I know, and rarely feels any repercussions from a chocolate eating spree at someplace like Whisk (which never ceases to amaze me). I'm pretty sure that she eats it just because it's yummy, and that it's not doing anything to make sure the wind doesn't blow her away (another amazing feat).
My favorite thing is the wind, she said, & my second favorite is chocolate but I just do that so I don't get too skinny & blow away
