Weekend Assignment #43: Congratulations, you've become your own soverign state! Design a flag for the United States of You, using no more than three colors and one symbol (the symbol can be of any color). Explain your design choices. Don't worry about actually making the flag -- you can just tell us about it.
Extra credit: make a picture of the flag. Because, let's face it, that's time-intensive.
Dear John,
Long time, no write. Writer's Block on a colossal scale - not worth discussing. Back now, worse for wear but once again able to assume my place in harness to this madness we call life.
A big Hello! to Kris and Athena. I do hope they've kept you in line. I'll let you in on a little known fact - when depressed I not only can't write, I can't read, either. Imagine, I received a copy of Old Man's War for the holidays and only cracked it open yesterday!
Anyway, the flag of the US of Me would be equilateral vertical bars of Blue, Green and Red. The significance of the colors reflects the blue of the waters that sustain life, the verdant green of the hills and dales, and the red of the blood shed to sustain this land. An image of a Bald Eagle, arrows grasped in one talon, a spear in the other, faces outward as fair warning to all while an olive branch is held in its beak. Below is the logo "Don't Tread On Me."
Of course, I did toy with the idea of one porcupine mounting another with the logo "Proceed With Caution"...
Keep the greasy side down and look both ways before crossing the road.
Best Regards,
wil
