The Blob

BumberShootStudio Paintings

What is it?
For some its a cult classic 1950s horror flick...
For others its the food on their dinner plate.
Then there are those who would say its a super villain or some sort of alien.

We conjure up many ideas of what this word is. It can mean unrelated things to different individuals. Many times its a feeling, I feel like a blob especially when I don't exercise, I even get angry with myself. I think half my paintings look like blobs and they end up in the trash and again I'm usually not to pleased with myself.

Scientists are saying the blob is a big, almost circular mass of unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean. It's been warmer then usual and that's whats been effecting the overly dry weather lately, causing drought and fires here in the Northwest.

Apparently it has more to do with the water not cooling down enough during the winter months, staying a few degrees warmer is effecting the atmosphere and the oceans ecosystem - big time.

The ramifications are far reaching and have become quite devastating, all do to a simple lack of cooling off...sure does sound familiar doesn't it.
Chill pill anyone?
