Life and complexity
by Tony Peters on February 28, 2010
After last semester's overdose in writing I have been enjoying not having to write at all this semester. Well that and most of my school time is spent in an Art studio....it is mentally challenging, for the first time in years I'm drawing...it's kind of interesting after spending years creating images instantly to spend so much time creating images. It's really made me think about composition....my other really fun class is an Intro to sculpture class which in and of itself is a complete departure for me as I have never though about art in a 3D manner. Not to say that I haven't carved things from wood but I've never really thought about it from a composition POV. It's been very fun though I end each school day mentally spent. Additionally after spending last semester commuting by motorcycle the VA came through for me and approved my disability and back paid me to the date of my retirement, I bought a truckling, I say truckling because I found a nice little 1994 Toyota Tacoma and not a moment too soon as this winter has been very messy....anyway I found something and it made me miss Japan

I thought of you when I found it...the funny thing for me is that I recognize most of the places she is walking through. I really like the way they did it and I like sound of it

How did I miss this before?? That is hilarious! I'm not really a Dunst fan, but this is nice.
I've never been to Japan, but now I miss it too! :)

Great video. Glad to hear that you're getting so much out of the classes, too. :-)

Seriously I am running...
OK maybe running isn't quite the best description especially since I am mostly running/jogging on trails but who would have thought that after 20 years of hating running (and that's an understatement) while in the Navy I am finding trailrunning soo much fun. This all started last fall when I decided that after 4 years the screws in my ankle were still annoying me. Removal isn't an option as recovery from that is a year of minimal exercise/stress which means I couldn't even swim or ride a bike. Go »Pain on a whole new level
good afternoon/evening folks something happened on the way to work this morning, I touched my brakes and either my tires were cold or I hit some sand, the next thing I knew I was on the ground with my bike on top of me. The end result is I broke my right ankle. It's swollen a bit today and likely needs surgery I have an ortho appointment on monday and hopefully surgery on tuesday. Go »Grommet
The latest addition to my family...his name is Grommet...my GSP loves him in a strange interspecies way, however my other two cats seem offended/insulted about his existence. Go »down 40
I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 195....I have run out of holes on my belt and none of my shorts fit... for the most part this is because I ride this bike 5-6 days a week and I'm eating healthy. Go »A good day in the studio
In general this week was horrible I got Gastro and lost a half my remaining class days to finish the pair of sculptures I'm working on.......however today was good I got about 3 hours of alone time in the studio, just my my tools (a pair of angle grinders with wood cutting/shaping disks) a block of wood and a dust collector......... I put about 5 inches of chips in the dust collector and got a good start on the last piece. Go »
