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. :-)

problems within problems
I read Daily Beast for mush of my news because I like the tone and because there aren't many conservatives left who don't deal exclusively in hate (Hannity Rush etc) I actually used to consider myself a conservative but I can't reconcile their embrace of ignorance nor their dismissal of a changing word. Anyway Meghan McCain wrote an interesting piece on the old guard's disregard for the internet Go »I guess healing requires sleep
I am exhausted...10 hours of sleep each night broken only twice for meds and yet I feel the need to sleep all day....I can barely stay awake for 2-3 hours before I fall asleep in my chair. Go »got a new drug
2 weeks ago I sold my BMX cruiser with the intention of shedding a toy to buy a bike better suited to commuting to work, at one time I rode a racebike and i really wanted to start riding one again except with the simplicity that I enjoyed on my cruiser....so I bought a fixxed gear, no not going through a mid life crisis I have ridden a fixxed gear before and I know what's involved, it arrived last friday and after a scramble to assemble it (and switch the brakes to motostyle) I rode it to work, I have ridden to work every day for the last week (because it only rains on my day off) and my legs are just starting to adjust I have aches in places I haven't felt in years but I feel better and judging by the way my pants feel I'm sure I'm starting to look healthier too. No riding a fixie is not for everybody, I have people who give me terrified looks when they realize what I'm riding but it works for me and thats what is important, besides when the weather is nice I can leave after work and ride down to the beach and back on a 20 mile loop and still get home in time to make dinner for my wife and I. Go »life death and family
My uncle died last friday...it wasn't unexpected, 3rd bout with cancer, but it hurt none the less. I've been out of the country for about 16 years so the fact that I am stateside means I needed to go. Go »post pain pump
spending nearly a day on a Morphine pump was great but, it did little to prepare me for being out of the hospital or for that matter give me any idea just how much pain I was going to be in. Before I left the hospital my wife (who is a Nurse, the Pain Management Nurse at the hospital and I worked out this plan for the meds I was gonna need over this 1st week of my recovery...well that slowly disintegrated yesterday afternoon and by midnight I was in tears while my GSP sat with me licking my face...2 Go »
