I misunderstood the announcement "Best In Dress". I arrived to a stark a frightening reality: Some of guys and really rock a dress.
Our most beautiful and misunderstood venomous snake here in the USA. I have seen many in the wild but every time I see one it is like seeing one for the first time,, the thrill is always the same.

Tabitha is my newest hamster. I got her last april. When she first arrived at the petstore i work at, She was very miserable. She was attacking all the other hamsters in her group. We immeadietly had to seperate her. Soon after she started attacking employees. she would scream and growl anytime anyone fed her or cleaned her cage. Management decided that she would live her life in the backroom of the pet store because she was too mean to be sold.
Before i get Buffy i considered taking her home, but i was advised not to. for the next few weeks i really started to bond with her at the store. She was just too cute. One night she escaped from her cage at the store and we couldn't find her. I was so upset, when i got home i cried. The next day she was found when the cages were being cleaned, she had fallen off her shelf right into an open-toped cage underneath her. That cage had three little babies in it. Amazingly she did not kill the babies, and she let me pick her up to return her to her cage. After that i started carrying her around the store with me. she liked me.
Unfortunatly our petstore is going out of business, and we have to send all our hamsters away to other petstores. I knew that Tabitha couldn't go. The new petstore wouldn't understand her. So i took her home with me. She had a rough couple of days, but now she loves her new home. she lets me pick her up and cuddle her. She was just misunderstood.
She looks a lot like my hamster Chester, white body and golden head.They're like twins
I say to people ‘I’m okay’
Hidin’ my sadness away
And my smiles never betray
But my heart’s losin’ its way
The world is just so lonely and cold
But I don’t reach out for people to hold
Because a pair of hands cost more than gold
And I don’t want to have my soul sold
People always misunderstand
When they’re tryin’ to understand
Like you are usin’ your own hand
Buildin’ up a castle of sand
I never cry like a child beggin’ for ice-cream
Although there are times I find it just hard to scream
I never hope for a life or dream that will gleam
Because my life is gone and I don’t have a dream
People always used to come around breakin’ my heart
And then tellin’ me they didn’t shoot it with the dart
My love’s never grabbed an opportunity to start
Because no heartaches never quickly top the sales-chart
What do I truly want?
An everlasting sun?
Or temporary fun?
Who am I lookin’ for?
Someone I’ve met before?
Or just behind the door?
Why do I have to go?
Can I ever say no?
Or I got to leave so?
Where am I headin’ to?
A peaceful place will do?
Or a well-visited zoo?
When do I get to know?
When my flame’s goin’ low?
Or my light starts to glow?

autoretrato by me....
Made a wrong turn
once or twice.
Dug my way out,
blood and fire.
Bad decisions,
that's alright.
Welcome to my silly life.
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood!
Miss "No way,It's all good", it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated!
Look, I'm still around...
Pretty pretty please!
Don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than,
Less then Perfect
Pretty pretty please
If you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are Perfect to me!
You're so mean (Your so mean)
When you talk (When you talk) about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices (Change the voices) in your head(In the head)
Make them like you instead
So complicated, look how happy you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred... such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same.
Oh, pretty pretty please
Don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than
Less then Perfect
Pretty pretty please
If you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are Perfect to me
The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try,
But we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They dont like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?
Why do I do that?
Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty please!
Pretty pretty please,
Don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than
Less then perfect
Pretty pretty please
If you ever ever feel
Like you're nothing, you are Perfect to me Yeaaahhh...!
You are Perfect, you're Perfect!
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You are Perfect to me.
pink fuckin perfect...
1956 Porsche 356A “European” Coupe
Chassis No. 55461
Engine No. 60656
Transmission No. 7933
Completed: 01/13/1956
“Many 356 enthusiasts are aware that European-spec cars were imported into the United States when new. Fewer enthusiasts have heard of the 356A "European" badged cars, which are an often misunderstood rarity. The "European" badge did not signify European delivery — in fact, it couldn't be further from the truth!
The 356A model was introduced in the fall of 1955, and some had a side script that proudly identified the car as a "Continental". This name was instigated by Max Hoffman, the exclusive importer of Porsches into the USA who felt that Americans didn't relate to cars that only had model numbers. Previous Porsches had simply been called the "356", which was the Porsche internal design number.
"Continental" Hoffman was convinced that Americans wanted to buy cars with names like "BelAir" or "Fairlane". So, in the spirit of American marketing, Porsche began putting a "Continental" script on the fenders of late 1955 model year coupes and cabriolets that were sent to the United States. Unfortunately for Porsche, Ford Motor Company claimed the rights to the "Continental" name and threatened legal action, so Porsche stopped using that script at the end of the 1955 model year and changed the script to "European" for the 1956 model year (production of which began in the fall of 1955). Cars delivered in Europe did not have the script.
"European" For reasons that are now obscure, Porsche appears to have ceased using the "European" script sometime in January, 1956, well before the end of that production year.
Other than the badge, the "Continental" and "European" cars were standard-specification cars for the United States market, meaning speedometer markings were in miles and the headlights were the sealed beam type. After January, 1956, except for the Speedster and Carrera models no further 356 models were badged with names, only letters were used as model designations. The "European" script does not appear to have ever been reproduced.” - 356 Registry
Chassis No. 55361: This immaculately restored 356A coupe is an extremely exceptional find. Not only is car finished in the very rare Sahara Beige hue offered only in 1956, but it is believed to be one of the last European models ever built.
While under the care of the previous long term owner, the car was fully revived to concourse quality. Some time has passed since the restoration; the glossy paint exhibits slight signs of aging, revealing shallow cracks throughout the surface. However, the remainder of the vehicle survives in impeccable showroom condition.
Mechanically the car is strong and reliable. The 356 drives very well. The ride is smooth, while tracking is straight, even under heavy braking. The only aftermarket item on the European is an upgraded Abarth exhaust system, although the original exhaust accompanies the car.
* One of only 156 European coupes produced!
* Ready to show or drive!
* A very rare treat!
Now that Frankie has a little sister named Alivia, this fakie could be her as a teen. Maybe she got jealous of Frankie and decided to copy her face. Tired of being in her big sis's shadow, she struck out on her own. I don't know if she'll be a villain or not, but she's a misunderstood monster. Have to decide who the other ghoul will be.
Low Key Photography
Scavenger Challenge - April's topic is "Low-Key Photography," a phrase which is frequently misunderstood. Basic Low-Key Lighting - There is an enormous amount of confusion regarding what constitutes "low-key" photography, and Googling the subject does very little to clarify the meaning of the term. It helps if you understand the names of the lights commonly used in the studio. In illuminating a subject, there are two basic positions for lights (not counting backlighting). The light placed in front of the subject is called the "key light." Lights placed to either side of the subject are called "fill lights." Remember it this way: the key light is the key to illuminating as much of the subject as possible, and the fill lights fill in where light is lower at the sides. Low-key photography, therefore, is a function of lighting. If a photo is low-key, it means that the subject receives little head-on lighting, i.e., the key light is turned down low or shut off entirely. This graphic illustration will show you exactly what I mean.
This month with low key lighting I started out with some basic images shot in a makeshift setup. As I became more confident with my tools and lighting some more images turned out more acceptable. I did have a lot of fun doing the selfies in my makeshift studio/bathroom
Eastern Illinois University students perform Villains: A Cabaret of the Misunderstood in the Theatre of the Doudna Fine Arts Center on December 3, 2022. (Dominic Baima)
A lone vulture stands with composed authority against a weathered wooden backdrop, its powerful frame and folded wings conveying quiet dominance. The bird’s pale, downy collar contrasts with dark, layered feathers, highlighting a life shaped by survival and patience. Its sharp beak and steady gaze suggest wisdom earned through endurance rather than speed. Soft, natural light reveals texture in feather and wood alike, transforming a misunderstood scavenger into a dignified guardian of nature’s balance, embodying resilience, purpose, and the solemn beauty of the wild.
Child custody is not just another issue
“Custody” is a frequently misunderstood term. Sole Custody (sometimes referred to as Legal Custody) and Joint Custody, the most common types of custodial designations, are often viewed as terms that tell how much time a child or children will spend with each parent when, in fact, the terms actually define the role of each parent in decisions regarding the child’s health.

This is Miss chocolate Soft Ice Cream, the most misunderstood ice Cream in the world. With Mr. Waffle Cone, she is the star. People can't have enough of her. When she is alone, people avoid her. She does not understand. She does not understand why kids will point at her and say, "POOP!"
She said, "No! Come on! Poke me! I'm soft and cold! Not warm!" But nobody dares to do so.
She said, "Come on! Lick me! I'm sweet and tasty!" Again nobody wants to try.
She is now sad. She is crying and sniffing. Or... is she asking you to give her a sniff? To prove that she is not... what you think she is?
Also, considering quitting my day job to pursue a career as a starving artist who is tragically misunderstood. As you can see, I'm very skilled with vignetting.
Fixer Corinna Wan, feels her asexuality is misunderstood by young people and is using a short dramatic film to show how tough it can be for an asexual person to cope in a highly sexualised society. The film entitled ‘A-OK’ follows the story of main character Lucy, who struggles to explain her asexuality to others who seem so focused on having sex.

This picture confuses me, and thats why I like it. She got all tangled up in the silk cloth while it was open, and I can't even tell whats really up or down here, but it looks sort of cocoonish..While its not really a good photo, I felt I had to upload it anyway because of its perplexing quality.

Dutch collectors card. Gene Hackman in Misunderstood (Jerry Schatzberg, 1984).
American actor Gene Hackman (1930) became a Hollywood star in the 1970s with such films as The French Connection (1971), The Conversation (1974) and Bite the Bullet (1975). He won Oscars for The French Connection (1971) and for Clint Eastwood's Western Unforgiven (1992), making it the fifth time he was nominated.
Eugene Allen Hackman was born in San Bernardino, California, in 1930. He was the son of Anna Lyda Elizabeth (Gray) and Eugene Ezra Hackman, who operated a newspaper printing press. After several moves, his family settled in Danville, Illinois. As a child, he had to spend much time looking after his grandmother, while his parents were at work. Hackman was about 14 years old when his father walked out of the family and Gene left home at the age of sixteen for a hitch with the US Marines. Moving to New York after being discharged, he worked in several menial jobs before studying journalism and television production on the G.I. Bill at the University of Illinois. Hackman would be over 30 years old when he finally decided to take his chance at acting by enrolling at the Pasadena Playhouse in California. Legend says that after flunking out of the Pasadena Playhouse after 3 months and moving to New York City with fellow drop-out Dustin Hoffman, Hackman worked at the Howard Johnson's restaurant in Times Square as a doorman. One day, a Pasadena Playhouse acting teacher whom Hackman hated walked by him, stopped, and told him that he had been right, that Hackman would never amount to anything. Hackman worked in summer stock and off-Broadway. In 1964 he was cast as the young suitor in the Broadway play 'Any Wednesday'. This role would lead to him being cast in the small role of Norman in Lilith (Robert Rossen, 1964), starring Warren Beatty and Jean Seberg. When Beatty was casting for Bonnie and Clyde (Arthur Penn, 1967), he cast Hackman as Buck Barrow, Clyde Barrow's brother. That role earned Hackman a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, an award for which he would again be nominated in I Never Sang for My Father (Gilbert Cates, 1970).
In 1972 Gene Hackman won the Oscar for his role as Detective Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in The French Connection (William Friedkin, 1971). At 40 years old Hackman was a Hollywood star. He has stated that his performance in Scarecrow (Jerry Schatzberg, 1973) opposite Al Pacino is his personal favourite. The film was critically acclaimed but tanked at the box office. He based his role in The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974) on one of his uncles and a fellow Marine he had known well. Other successes were the crime drama Night Moves (Arthur Penn, 1975), the Western Bite the Bullit (Richard Brooks, 1975) about a 700-mile horse race and the sequel French Connection II (John Frankenheimer, 1975). Hackman was a versatile actor who played the blind man in the comedy Young Frankenstein (Mel Brooks, 1974) and the evil Lex Luthor in Superman (Richard Donner, 1978) and Superman II (Richard Donner, Richard Lester, 1980). In 1983, he scored a hit with Under Fire (Roger Spottiswoode, 1983) starring Nick Nolte. More successes followed, such as his role as a high school basketball coach in Hoosiers (David Anspaugh, 1986) with Barbara Hershey. It culminated in 1988, when he starred in five films, including Another Woman (Woody Allen, 1988) with Gena Rowlands and Mississippi Burning (Alan Parker, 1988) with Willem Dafoe. For the latter film, he received another Oscar nomination.
After initially turning down the role of the sadistic sheriff "Little" Bill Daggett in Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven (1992), Gene Hackman finally accepted it, as its different slant on the Western interested him. For his performance, he won the Oscar and Golden Globe and decided that he wasn't tired of Westerns after all. He has since appeared in Geronimo: An American Legend (Walter Hill, 1993), Wyatt Earp (Lawrence Kasdan, 1994), and The Quick and the Dead (Sam Raimi, 1995) with Sharon Stone. He appeared in three films adapted from novels by John Grisham: The Firm (Sydney Pollack, 1993) with Tom Cruise, as convict Sam Cayhall on death row in The Chamber (James Foley, 1996) and as jury consultant Rankin Fitch in Runaway Jury (Gary Fleder, 2003) with Dustin Hoffman. Hackman played film director Harry Zimm with John Travolta in the comedy-drama Get Shorty (Barry Sonnenfeld, 1995). He also played a submarine Captain on the edge of nuclear destruction in Crimson Tide (Tony Scott, 1995) alongside Denzel Washington, a conservative Senator in a dragqueen club in The Birdcage (Mike Nichols, 1996) and a doctor who puts his work above people in Extreme Measures (Michael Apted, 1996). He played the president of the US in Absolute Power (Clint Eastwood, 1997) and co-starred with Will Smith in the political thriller Enemy of the State (Tony Scott, 1998), his character reminiscent of the one he had portrayed in The Conversation. One of the most sustaining actors of all time, he still averaged two films a year in his 70s, having starred in six in 2001 alone, including Wes Andersons's The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). This all changed however in 2004, when he last acted in Welcome to Mooseport (Donald Petrie, 2004). In 2008, he announced his retirement from acting at the age of 78. In 2011, he released a novel, a violent Western, 'Payback at Morning Peak'. His most recent novel 'Pursuit', a police thriller, followed in 2013. Gene Hackman was married for 30 years to his wife Faye Maltese, with whom he has one son and two daughters: Christopher Allen, Elizabeth Jean, and Leslie Anne Hackman. The couple divorced in 1986. In 1991, Hackman married again, to classical pianist Betsy Arakawa.

Undead Daphne just as cute as can be
she dresses all up so you wont see
hiding behind her fuzzy hood
just a poor little zombie so misunderstood
people just run and hide in fear
never knowing they’ve caused her so many tears
all she ever wanted was a bestest friend
someone to love and cuddle with til the end
then one day a girl named Megan came along
they laughed so much she knew her lonesome days were gone
always there for each other with a drop of a dime
forever together best friends for all time!

The misunderstood House Centipede.
Imagine the epic battles .... he actually hunts and kills the true pests in our homes...spiders, bedbugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants. An arthropod hunter / predator, harmless to humans and pets.

2/15/10: I may have misunderstood the description of Typhon. The book said he had a hundred snake heads and serpents for arms. However, when I looked for more information about him, it seems maybe the snake heads were not meant to replace his human head entirely. I'm not sure. All I know is he beat Zues up pretty good, but then eventually Zues trapped him under a mountain. Also, I got to draw snakes.
Pretend there's a hundred snakes total making up his head.

Chassis No. 55361: This immaculately restored 356A coupe is an extremely exceptional find. Not only is car finished in the very rare Sahara Beige hue offered only in 1956, but it is believed to be one of the last European models ever built.
While under the care of the previous long term owner, the car was fully revived to concourse quality. Some time has passed since the restoration; the glossy paint exhibits slight signs of aging, revealing shallow cracks throughout the surface. However, the remainder of the vehicle survives in impeccable showroom condition.
Mechanically the car is strong and reliable. The 356 drives very well. The ride is smooth, while tracking is straight, even under heavy braking. The only aftermarket item on the European is an upgraded Abarth exhaust system, although the original exhaust accompanies the car.
* One of only 156 European coupes produced!
* Ready to show or drive!
* A very rare treat!
1956 Porsche 356A “European” Coupe
Chassis No. 55461
Engine No. 60656
Transmission No. 7933
Completed: 01/13/1956
“Many 356 enthusiasts are aware that European-spec cars were imported into the United States when new. Fewer enthusiasts have heard of the 356A "European" badged cars, which are an often misunderstood rarity. The "European" badge did not signify European delivery — in fact, it couldn't be further from the truth!
The 356A model was introduced in the fall of 1955, and some had a side script that proudly identified the car as a "Continental". This name was instigated by Max Hoffman, the exclusive importer of Porsches into the USA who felt that Americans didn't relate to cars that only had model numbers. Previous Porsches had simply been called the "356", which was the Porsche internal design number.
"Continental" Hoffman was convinced that Americans wanted to buy cars with names like "BelAir" or "Fairlane". So, in the spirit of American marketing, Porsche began putting a "Continental" script on the fenders of late 1955 model year coupes and cabriolets that were sent to the United States. Unfortunately for Porsche, Ford Motor Company claimed the rights to the "Continental" name and threatened legal action, so Porsche stopped using that script at the end of the 1955 model year and changed the script to "European" for the 1956 model year (production of which began in the fall of 1955). Cars delivered in Europe did not have the script.
"European" For reasons that are now obscure, Porsche appears to have ceased using the "European" script sometime in January, 1956, well before the end of that production year.
Other than the badge, the "Continental" and "European" cars were standard-specification cars for the United States market, meaning speedometer markings were in miles and the headlights were the sealed beam type. After January, 1956, except for the Speedster and Carrera models no further 356 models were badged with names, only letters were used as model designations. The "European" script does not appear to have ever been reproduced.” - 356 Registry
