"Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone"

That's not my favourite Picasso quote, but is the most appropriate for this post.

You see, I'm torn at the moment. I have discovered these things called generators, some of which I have blogged about before. In a nutshell, you take a picture - sorry, not physically take, well yes you do, but this is afterwards when the picture that you have taken is sitting somehwere on your desktop. So you take the taken picture, put it through this 'generator' and voila, you have a piece of art... or at least a picture with an effect of some kind.

Going back to being torn, I've done the hard work, I've trawled through the net, night after night, day after day, now I want the recognition and glory. I want to use these generated pictures and wow people. I want them to say 'that's brilliant' and and ask me how it's done. I WANT MY 15 MINUTES OF FAME GODDAMIT!

Trouble is, I don't have the time to deal with any increase in fan mail, and to be honest, it's been several months and I am still to use any of these generators.

That changed a few days ago. A friend of mine had an issue. To be honestly he regularly has issues, but he has his own blog which he uses as a release valve and I'm pretty sure he appears normal to the rest of society.

Finally came my opportunity to use some of my secret generators! I set up a Facebook group specifically for the purpose and posted several photo's on there. As an aside he later said that this was one of the nicest things that anyone had done for him. That made me feel a bit guilty as I didn't do it totally for altruistic reasons!

So, do I continue to piggyback on the angst of my fellow bloggers and Facebook friends or do I stay true to the vague point of this blog and give you something to do for yourselves? You got it, here are some non picture necessary generators;

The Bus

The Chinese Takeaway

Bart's Chalkboard

My favourite Picasso quote by the way could be one of the following

"I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else. "

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life "

"Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. "

But it's probably;

"When I was a child my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk, you'll be the pope.' Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso."

Good job he didn't use his full name... Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso!
