We did much research on this school before enrolling her there and they have me very pleased. I wish I had opportunities like this when I was younger. They give children freedom to experience life through art and just be children.

No authoritarianism or high autocratic demands, placing kids in rows with out of date text books. Rather, they use round tables and (still ofcourse following the governmental requirements for education), let the kids find their own research books like the rest of us in a Library.

That all aside, every subject from math, science, english and language studies to physical education, is taught using one or all of the 5 major arts. Literary, Graphic Art, Dance, Drama and Music! They actually engage kids in learning. This is the power of Art!

Ars longa, Vita Brevis - Art lasts forever, but life is breif.

SUB TEXT. . .
Spam is a net disease. Ive grown tired of it, so I must make people register and login in order to ‘filter’ out spam bots that buzz about here.

That aside, I appologize if youve come here looking for new material. My aches and pains have retarded my ability to do almost anything. So until I can properly manage my medical issues, please dont leave just yet.

Lets explore this shall we.

Firstly, to begin, it all starts with me. Ultimately the heart, mind and spirit is willing, yet the body in its fleshly carporeal state is ofcourse a complete and utter failiure to me. Sure we cut out the cancer and laid bare the chemical wastes. Yet the scars run quite physically deep and thats no metaphor. So inevitably age has set in and I come home from work, sore, tired and regretably uninspired.

This doesnt mean my creative flow is stopped, lo’ but only hindered by lack of energy to do anything about it. Infact I still have many other projects distracting what little energies I have to spare.

Secondly, I am ofcourse a family man. Kind, loving, gentile father figure of a small intimate family group. My one and only precious child is my daughter of 5 (and a half) years. SO, obviously I have a major distrac… responsibility to her. Hahah, I do give alot of time to her, she and I are great together. We have Mondays, baking and crafts day, Tuesday reading day, Wednesday game day, Thursday reading day (yes twice, cause I like edumacation.) Friday play day! and the Weekend freeforall!

I cant forget my wife ofcourse, I set time aside for her, I have to, we share a bed. (Grin) But dates are important to making a lasting relationship… etc etc… lets not go to much into mundane life details and try to tell everyone that all you need is love. (Have you seen Across the Universe or August Rush, both fantastic movies.)

Distraction 1, video games. LOL
We all love them and give us, needed entertainment. I suffice to say now that video games are similar to television in that it allows you a moment of escapism. Pure unadulterated relaxed entertainment, (this said with an air of auspice in the subject at hand as unadulterated is a word too abused.)
Check this out, I helped develope some of the graphics work for this site…
Senility Guild Gaming
And poor old GT Limbo Gaming forums is still there, lingering…

Facebook! Booo Whaahahaha! Yeah is there anything with soo much distraction involved. Its like its made for the modern child with Attention Deficit Disorder!

So its a whole lotta fun… and no I have not neglected my sketchbook, I just havent posted much from it yet…

Keep checking on me, I may just decide to rant here about nothing and everything fun…

Chipper the Beaver, a fun spot of work Im doin for a friend. Some sort of business card cartoon.

The other is more secretive, but has much to do with a local author writing a well recieved novel. There will be more to come later on this work.

So I am doing stuff… just in the back ground. If you think there is something I should draw, tell me and I may provide.

Meanwhile Im distracted by Facebook

PC Clean, its a good job. And since Im still hobbling about with a cane and limp, it works out well for me. I really wish my body would stay together, however time and circumstance has taken its toll on me. Ill deal.

So why is this a great song? Just listen to the lyrics and the Truth they speak. The above video was posted on Youtube, with edits about world events, however that aside, the truth is we are all waiting for God to stop this ride and lift the veil on all the liars out there concealing the realities of our own invain human existence.

(Just read the lyrics, they touched me, I hope they’ll touch you.)

If Everyone Cared lyrics

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you’d be mine
But here we are, we’re here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive

[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we’d see the day when nobody died

And I’m singing

Amen I, Amen I, I’m alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I’m alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We’ll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
(I’m alive)

[Chorus x2]

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we’d see the day when nobody died
When nobody died…

[Chorus]

We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day when nobody died

Back in October, I was in the back yard playing with my daughter in the garden, when I stepped off the sandbox ledge and landed on a rock or something that in turn resulted in me rolling my ankle, cracking the tip of the fibula bone and tearing up all the ligaments in the ankle including the surround cartilage. Thus I am still off work and now off work for soo long that I may need to consider a career change. Sickeningly enough at this time of year . . .

Physically it would seem to me I am going downhill. Its not that Im not active, infact, I love being active. Moving and running, staying in constant motion is kinda a catharsis when managing a day. Now I can’t run… and I have difficulty Walking…

So… I have to find a desk job. OR get new training for a better desk job.

Anyone out there have any offers.

Yeah, so meanwhile Ill be on and off, as usual, but getting more and more desparate now as time passes.

Im exploring the blogverse.
Technorati anyone?
