Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa
A classic beauty or completely overhyped?
The iconic Mona Lisa painting isn’t that large, but you don’t have to fail an art history class to recognize that mysterious smile. Do tourists wait because they appreciate portraiture, or because she’s been propelled into popularity? I still think she’s timeless.
The real question is, where are her eyebrows?

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Rewind
Who did these assholes think they were, asking me about my personal business? I wasn’t one bit amused by any of this bullshit. Some dumb little tramp got my dick sick. I’ll slit her throat when I figure out which one it was. What kind of bullshit was this, anyway? Why did they need to know how many bitches I’ve bagged? Fuck them, I just made one up.

I saw her in person last October. She is timeless. I think what gets me is the craft of having her eyes follow you, no matter which direction you view her from. Nice work!
