    Or just cue it up on a playlist. Its about 20 minutes long. Only thing is the backstory (in italics on the website) isn't read out between the parts of the song.

    Huxley wrote Brave New World before Orwell wrote 1984.
    They have often been compared. They both are derived from the novel WE, written in 1922 by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin. Huxley and Orwell both claim to have no knowledge of WE, prior to writing their novels.

    Trivia; George Orwell is the pen name for Eric Arthur Blair.

    Head is bolted down. Recheck torque in the morning. Knocking off early today. Momma is makin biscuits and gravey for dinner !! With a couple eggs on top ! Kinda had a setback this morning. The starcar wouldn't start to make room to set the head on. #### timing sensor gave up the ghost ! Guess sitting around it drawed moisture and fried it ? Took most of this morning to cabbage a sensor ! Be breathing fire by tomorrow evening, I hope ! The big man is beggin fer me to hurry up. One boy broke his trailer Thursday leaving the yard. Another fried his clutch. 20201206_160915.jpg

    I’ve been meaning to read the one by Yevgeny after I read 1984; I like books such as these, more people should read them because it would open up a few eyes after you relate said book to present day society

    I didn’t have time to respond the other day, but in response to @jamespmack ‘s comment on choosing to not care if you offend people because it’s an easier and better way to live; I agree that it’s easier, yes, but I disagree wholeheartedly that it is somehow a better way to live and since I believe for oneself to change who they are merely because it’s not the easier path is the act of cowardice, needless to say I am screwed :D

    Aside from a few minor details like chicken lights, tow pin, hood hinges and wipers I think I'm getting close to my first attempt at shading. 20201206_150037.jpg
