This is a painting by Picasso that just sold for over $40,000,000.00. Now, c'mon, folks, I know this dude worked some magic with a brush, but how many of you painted something very similar with your "paint by numbers" kit when you weren't nothing but a little, tiny thing? I'm sure my dad has several of mine still up in the attic and I'll let the lot of them go for 500K right now. This is a painting of Picasso's girlfriend while she napped in a chair. Lifelike as it is, I'm figuring she had a major crick in her neck when she woke up. Forty million dollars! I mean, if you have to own something of Picasso's, I guess I get it, but surely you could pick up a pair of his old boxers for under a million. About Me
- Life is Heald
- Naples, Florida
- I like to laugh. If you don't, please hit whatever button escorts you from the premises immediately. I write a humor column for the Naples Daily News called, get this, "Life is Heald." It's about life as we all see it, just from a pair of rose-colored glasses that need cleaning. I tell stories, I rant about things that drive us all to the point of filling out a gun permit, I make fun of you and I make fun of me. If I can't use it in the column for whatever reason, it ends up here. Sometimes, you'll need to read the column to know what I'm writing about, but often the posts are just random, drive-by thoughts that entered my brain and exited my fingers. Just a flesh wound, so don't go dialing 911 about anything you read here. This is not one of those blogs that will tell you how many prunes it took to jump start my last bowel movement or what grade the kid got on his math test. The good stuff, I save for the Christmas newsletter.

You must go see the documentary "Who the #@$! is Jackson Pollock"... a truck driver gal paid $5 for a painting in a thrift store, only to discover it was a priceless Jackson Pollack original.
