This is Not a Book: Day 48

Saturday 11th of January 2014: Day 48 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

(yes, this is posted very late. I have been busy. Read my other blog, the typewriter journals to know what I have been up to!)

Pages 8&9

'This is a NATURE EMULATOR. Take a break where you are. Add some imagery to this scene'.

This is my scene - slightly intense, but this is just what I think of when I see water - sharks, wreckages, far-off islands etc. 

Just a quick and fun scene to draw.

'This is a test of endurance.
1. Hold this is not a book above your head for as long as possible.
2. Write your time here ______________.

I was able to achieve a measly and pathetic five minutes. It is possible I could have gotten more than this, however I was pretty into the book I was reading at the time and soon found my arm resting on my leg before I realised it was falling :)

This is Not a Book: Day 46

Thursday 9th January 2014: Day 46 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Pages 4&5

'This is a Secret Agent. *
INSTRUCTIONS: Give THIS IS NOT A BOOK some kind of disguise to hide its identity.
*Dispose of this note after reading.'

This is my beyond brilliant disguise! I'm sure I could fool even the most intelligent that this is, in fact, a lunch bag, simply and innocently containing one's lunch, and not a book.

This image contains the proof of the disposal of the secret note. 

This is Not a Book: Day 45

'This is a PORTABLE HOLE/PORTAL.
Make things disappear at will.
1. Cut out
2. Affix the hole to any surface.
3. Use.
If you could be anywhere you want right now, where would it be?'

I would want to be with Tegan, my sister, preferably in Africa making a difference in someone's life. My heart has always been in Africa, and one day I am sure I will go there and find it :)
I have decided to send this Black Hole to Tegan, as a cute gesture - I thought I would put it in a cool frame as a surprise random gift :)

This is Not a Book: Day 44

Thursday 2 January 2014: Day 44 of THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Well, 2014 has begun! Let's get cracking on this challenges!
Page 141&142

'This is a PLOT to rule the world. If I, Tamika, could rule the world, I would make the following changes...'

• Make history compulsory in all schools
• Make sure one was hired for ability above all else
• Allow drivers ed. in schools 
• Attempt to keep traditions for each country evident (in other words, do not allow imposing cultures dictate how a country is run) 
• Young marriage in third world countries to have strict penalties 
• Free and educate prostitutes and others in sex slavery so they have choices 
• Make smoking illegal 
• Give each family land to grow own food 
• Stop cutting down rain forests
• Have a huge focus on conservation 
• Attempt to make countries healthier in terms of food and water
• Allow everyone the chance to know and accept God 
• Make law in harmony with God's
• More music and celebration
• Modesty laws
• Easier for people to have education 
• Equality
• Environmentally friendly
• Make English/language classes priority (hand-writing, spelling etc) 
• Everyone contributes to community in some way (even if it is just money through tax) 
• Not allow technology to take over our lives - bring back some old traditions
• Send people to other countries who need help - with education, buildings, etc. 
• Solar power. 
• Swearing to be fined
• Movies/shows/music all to be evaluated in terms of acceptability before released to public
• Cleaning committees 
• Poaching and unauthorized hunting heavily fined 
• Easier adoption 
• Better foster system 
• Scouts and survival classes compulsory in schools 
• Heavier and equal crime penalties

There is probably more I could think of with time, but this is the basic gist of what I would think would be great for the world, and what I would love to have the power to change. Of course, this will never happen, and most of these things will never change. But, if I could, I would.
