I was working at the bar Saturday night, it was a band night and also a Valentine
’s Day themed dance. There were many older couples out on the dance floor. I
looked around the bar to see if anyone needed a drink, when I noticed a fairly
older gentlemen just sitting down on a bar stool, shaking off the
snow from walking outside. I went over to ask him what he needed, and he
just grunted at me and told me that he wanted a miller light on tap,
so I obliged and left him be. Time passed quickly with the awkward rushes of
people coming in and out, back and forth from the dance
floor to the bar. A few beers later this man started to lighten up and he began
talking to me about the "truth to a happy life" this came out of left field because I'm
telling you this man did not look happy by any means. He began gushing about
his past, telling me about when he was in the war and how his high school
sweetheart stood by him day in and day out until just the year before when she sadly passed.
He kept repeating to me that the key to life was to "roll with the punches".
"Whatever that can happen to you that you might believe is the worst,
something worse can always happen, you just have to be able to pick yourself
back up and get right back in the game of life". And to be honest I
believe that it was "the truth". This lonely old man sitting
at the bar by himself could of just possibly gave me the best advice I’ve ever received
in my entire nineteen years of life. I will never be the same after this drunken
man gave me this advice. Maybe the saying is true; when you’re drunk you speak
sober thoughts.

Peter Maxx- Better World
I love this picture. I re-created this picture in High School. Its so bright and there is so much going on. There is a whale in the water that is reflecting the sun. The sky is a perfect shade of pink with blue and white and purple streaks in the clouds. The water is clear and has trees coming out of the land with tons fruit on them. There is a bird flying through the air without any effort taken out of him. I believe that there is a man on the sides of the banks looking at this beautiful view, taking all of this scenery in.
I love Peter Maxx's art work there are many more of these images and they are all different and beautiful in their own ways.
