still alive

i sorta died; i had mono, not fun at all.

in the meantime i have been working on my senior show. it deals with my latest fascination with deer, i am quite unsure why i am so interested in them. maybe it branched off my native love, i don't know. but this is what i have so far.

yep, as stated  i have yet to figure out exactly why i am focusing on deer but have a lot of symbolism (ie: the organic pattern in the painting is reflective of the antler textures, the fading triangles resemble the fading of a fawns spots, the triangles symbolize hoofs, etc. - i have a lot more)



oh also i have taken up swing dancing, started a new exercising regimen and diggin Safe & Sound: Capital Cities

tacos. tans. trails.

phew.
here is another day in my life.

open the coffee shop today; lately the morning sky has been red...sailors take warning (if there are any sailors in Iowa, ha)

devour two amazing tacos...it is Tuesday, tilapia one is quite delicious

chill on the 'beach' (aka lake shore), get my tan on with a friend

bike to the Tap for Tacopocalypse tacos...and booze; they were decent I was just spent after biking in this 90 some degree weather (14 ish miles today). I wish I had my camera on my ride, I can not fit it with my phone and wallet in my...um...shall I say storage space, but yeah, wish I had it, cause the trails are wonderful and I was less than 10 feet away from a deer!

Superfluous I know (that is me), but that was my day and I must say I quite enjoy this routine. In my down time from not working I have been trying to be more active
... side note, I have a fear of being getting too buff ...

like taking a long bike ride a couple times during the week, canoeing and might add running into the mix on the days I do not bike. I love it. It is my alone time; to vent, to think about my worries or not think about a care in the world...whatever it may be I feel less stressed at the moment and that is something.
