Though you never really need a reason to party, sometimes it's good to have one, just to satiate your own guilt conscience. In the absence of a legit reason, you can always make one up for yourself. And if nothing suggests itself at the moment, you can refer to these absolutely ridiculous (but solid) ideas:-
1. Because it's 102 days to go to your birthday!
2. Because one of your friends finally got his or her car fixed.
3. Because you finally reached the next level in Super Mario.
4. Because your ex just got fired from his new job.
5. Because you took your driving test, failed and will never own a license.
6. Because your crush finally smiled at you.
7. Because you are amazing. Period.
Stacked with reasons? Now go ahead, get hold of your cronies and get wasted. Cheers!

'Creativity' knows no bounds. It dares to shock you and cares to awe you! A number of painters over decades have kept creating wonders showing up the 'Artist' in them on the canvas they choose to knit their tales fine.
A true artist asserts that when a brush stroke brings along with it a jaw-dropping experience, when the viewer, flabbergasted, stands in awe before the picture he makes, the 'Artist' justifies his 'Art'.
Gain an insight into the bizarre art techniques that a few crazy 'Artists' have adapted through years. Taste the awesome sauce they create! Trust me, it's heavenly!
1. PAINTINGS MADE WITH HUMAN BLOOD:
'Vinicius Quesada' is a Brazilian street artist who prefers to add a different dimension to his artwork. The Brazilian artist has made a chain of Psychedelic paintings and Apocalyptic illustrations in the series 'Blood Piss Blues'. To each one of the main colours, i.e, red, green/yellow and blue, he adds a certain amount of blood and urine that concoct well. Finally what he creates is magic!
2. PAINTINGS MADE WITH PENIS:
Australian artist Tim Patch, who is popularly known as 'Pricasso' marks himself as 'The World's Greatest Penile Artist' for he uses his penis to paint portraits. Pricasso takes his canvas on streets at a number of sex trade shows demonstrating his art work live. His one of the most talked about works is the portrait of Australian Prime Minister John Howard.
3. SALT PORTRAITS:
San Antonio artist Rob Ferrel has been communicating with his Instagram followers with the realistic portraits he makes with nothing but 'salt'. All he needs are pinch of salt, brushes of varying sizes and a piece of card stock. Once he gets done with his portrait, he clicks a snap and post it on Instagram.
4. PORTRAITS USING LEFTOVER HAIR:
Chinese barber Li Hailing from Lingbao uses leftover hair to shape it to something he is passionate about- 'Art'. He collects the leftover hair in his salon, and after he frees himself from his scheduled work, he arranges every strand putting his skills into practice and makes beautiful celebrity portraits out of that. He draws inspiration from 'Sand Art' and incorporates his own innovative ideas keeping the technique same, in his quirky paintings.
5. PAINTINGS MADE WITH VOMIT:
Millie Brown, the 'Vomit Painter' creates actual art using her vomit. I know it is making you feel nauseous. But this weird technique has already received a good deal of appreciation across the globe. She has mastered the art of regurgitation and uses the method in her art work. She goes through the strenuous process of drinking coloured milk and ends up vomiting on the canvas. 'Art' happens! So strangely yet obviously.
Art is growing bizarre. But isn't losing its aesthetic flavour. Such vast is the expanse of 'Creativity'.

-Now could you please enlighten me with the fact why you are laughing and that too without a reason?
- Because that is how I celebrate my life!
- Pardon? So Hey..What are the other ways you have incorporated to 'celebrate' your life?
- Umm...I freak people out. Cheers!" 1. Say weird things. For example, walk into a shop, poke a fellow customer in the arm and say - "Hey! You silly, silly goose!". Or, have a very troubling conversation on the phone or a headset, and shout out sketchy things like- "I don't care how many pages there are! Keep eating!"or "Look, I'm paying you to do this. Take the shot. Make sure it's the head."
2. Break into a frenzied jig while walking down the street. Incorporate the craziest steps you can think of at that moment in your dance.
3. Act confused by everyday things. For example, carry a carton of milk to the cash counter of your local grocer's, and ask the cashier what it is. When enlightened, act like you had never heard of milk until that point of time.
4. Pretend to be any fantasy character. Dress and act like a witch, robot, zombie, vampire, werewolf, warlock or the like. For instance, if you choose to be a vampire, then wear a cape and hold your hand in front of your face as you hiss "AH! Sunlight! I'm burning!"
5. Be too close for comfort. You could ask for advice regarding very personal problems, or propose random strangers in random places. Or you could shuffle upto someone, be hopelessly awkward , and say something like "Hey.... uhh..... um.. I like your nose."
6. Creep people out. You could use the old classic- jumping out of bushes and scaring the daylights out of anybody walking by. Or you could wear crazy clothes and make-up and be completely nonchalant about it. Or, you could carry suspicious object, like a suitcase labelled 'HEARTS.'
7. Strike a normal conversation with a stranger, and then suddenly, with absolute panache, slip in a weird comment or question, like - "Hey, want to see a dead body?" or "Gotta rush, have a murder to plan".
But while executing these crazy pranks, you should be aware of the safety issues. You definitely do not want to be jailed or assaulted for trying to have a little fun. Know where you are, and act accordingly. Happy freakery!!

" This is like really annoying! He's getting on my nerves now.
- What happened? (stupefied)
- Haven't you seen that guy embarrassing me with his filthy stares? I feel so lost the days I travel alone.
- Babe. I'll tell you how to deal with them. (smirk)"
1.Keep looking straight into the person's eye until he thinks you're kind of possessed by an evil spirit.
2.Ask whether he has this neck problem or something provided the fact that he can't get his eyes off you. "Excuse me is your neck fixated in a particular direction?If not then stop looking at me like this."
3.Scream loudly in the public (Yes,yes not in an uncivilized way) to gather enough audience.Sometimes just reacting is enough.You need not to explain the situation,line by line.After all who has time?
4.Stamp that person's foot while trying to shift or getting down and then say, "Oh sorry if I have hurt you.It stings equally when you give me such nasty stares and looks."
5.If you think you cannot pull this off,just ignore.Do not even look the second time.Thinking that you are completely stoic,emotionless or impassive (and in some cases,homosexual) that person will direct his favours to someone else.Free you are like an untouched bird in the sky.Wohoo!!!
