Alright, today I have strange questions for everyone. My husband had randomly been asking people that if they could choose one would they choose peace or justice? The answers he was getting were surprising to me, so I'd like to get some more data :)
SO questions # 1: If you could have one, would you choose peace or justice?
Then we started talking about what justice really means. We started thinking that alot of times people think of it almost in the same terms as revenge, but the two (I think) are very different.
question #2: In what way do you differentiate justice and revenge?
I'll post my own answers to these as well in a day or two but I'm curious what others think :) Let me know!
I hope everyone is doing well! I'm sorry I have been mostly absent for the last while. I always have chunks of time where I am busy and mostly just work and sleep. I certainly could use some more time to relax!!!
Time has been flying by this summer! I can hardly believe the schools are starting up again next week. My husband is finishing up his degree now that I have finished mine and I am nervous cause I need to make enough money to pay rent while he studies. Wish me luck! I keep looking for full time work, but it has been elusive and frustrating. I have turned in soooo many applications. Every time you go to an interview you find out that there are around 100 other applicants. It's severe. Everyone is looking for work it seems. Because of this, I am very blessed to be working at a small winery. For the last couple months I have been working part time there, but just the other day the husband and wife who own the winery gave me a raise and full time hours! I am so thankful to them! I can stop being so scared now and at least take my time in finding a steady job. As for the arts, I am currently trying to get a website up and running. I need lots of help from my husband for this because I'm not so good at programming! I will let you know when I get it finished...or at least in the works. Right now it's just a blank page. hmmm... Mostly I am sleepy right now and can't remember if I have anything else to report. I will try to write some more later, but I at least wanted to drop a note here since I have been away for a while. :) Also, ...Thank you for the birthday wishes! I got them a little late because I went camping on my birthday! I went out into the mountains to a town called Ouray with my husband. My special treat was to go on a horseback ride. It was a beautiful ride with wonderful views of the mountains! :) It was a very happy birthday :D I hope every one is well and have a wonderful night!
In May my husband and I moved out to Grand Junction, CO which is on the other side of the mountains from Boulder where we were living before. Ever since we moved out here it has been raining a lot, which I love (it keeps the weather from getting too hot) but everyone says it's not usually like this out here. Hahaha, I'm okay with it though :)
I'm looking for full time work right now, which is proving kind of challenging at the moment. *cross your fingers for me that I can find something soon! * I need to help pay for Sean to finish his college degree along with rent and all that. Right now I'm just doing some part time work in a winery. I work in the tasting room, pouring drinks for guests. It's a pretty nice job, and it's certainly the prettiest view I've ever had from work before!
I snapped some pictures when I was leaving work the other day, just before a downpour. :) The clouds were awesome above the vineyards!
by the way, if anyone knows how to rotate a picture on here please let me know so I can fix it!! On my computer all these pictures were righted and they only flipped when I uploaded them ;_; sad days. very frustrating!Anyways, have a good day! Hope you like the pics even though they are very very sideways!
I went kinda by fluke to go see Xavier Rudd during my freshman year of university and it was sooo much fun! :) He's amazing - heck, just how many instruments he plays at once is crazy. Especially with didgeridoo in there :) I love it! Hope you like it too!
More and more I keep wondering how to really get a start in the art world. I seem to get a lot of contradictory thoughts and advice.
In dance, people will say that you need to get into a dance community before you can really find work...by which they mean to take many many classes. unfortunately those cost money. in order to have excess money i'd have to have a job or two but then there is no time left for classes....
then with art, it is similar... when i am working all the time i find it hard to calm down and get into a good creative swing and don't produce worthwhile work. also it's hard to keep the materials stocked...
can you tell i feel a little anxious? hehehe it's just.. i'm looking for a second job now but all i really want to do is delve into art some more. it would be soooo nice to find a related job. i need to go poke around town a bit i think.
I'm a dancer, visual artist, and martial artist located in Boulder, Colorado. I'm originally from Vancouver, BC :) so I actually miss the rain! I'd love to talk to other artists and I would love feedback on any of my albums!
