Comparison


The most interesting thing I can obviously see about Dallas, Texas is that they would vote for McCain in a presidential election. The one year that I spent in Dallas was '96 and while I do not remember much, I recall the very spacious living arrangements compared to New York. Dallas has no mention of a median income rate. New York City is suggested to have the younger average population than the rest of the nation. One thing the two cities have in common is that they are both very diverse.
Another interesting observation is that Dallas is "home to affluent communities" while New York City has a high income average, not mentioning if the community reflects this prosperity

Palette


Sometimes I get a little sad to see that it's been so long since I've expressed myself in a pure way. Well, all I did was look at this picture I have for my profile and let the words fall from my mind to the paper.

Yellow is the skin I see when I look in her mirror, the friendship a smile brings
A cool blue refreshens without water, the skies which lead this beautiful season
And my lips a rich natural pink completing the basic spring color palette, to reflect the easy ladylike grace I talk you into this journey with....

HaHaHa.....Why me?


The tickle torture was a person tied up and tickled, most likely on the bare feet. This procedure was used for both extreme and leisure measures since it was uncomfortable after a while of doing so. The laughter would become too much to bear. There isn't much documentation of tickle torture in history besides a few New York incidences, in Chinese history for unmarked punishment, and in Ancient Rome where it became painful for the victim. In the late 1800's, New York newspapers reported the events when people were tortured either here in New York or in Europe. The first mention of where it was practiced was China and dates back to the Han Dynasty, 206 BC. This topic is interesting to me because it lacks gore.
