with eyes closed i reached out and pointed at one of the characters provided in the book: abusive bully
write for 5 minutes
Abusive Bully
When I recovered enough to get up off of the sidewalk, I stood my ground again and stated clearly that I wasn’t going to take it anymore. Alfred just stared blankly at me. No anger. No animosity. Not even a trace of emotion. He didn’t even look pleased by the fact that he’d just knocked me off of my feet.
I wondered if he could hear what I was saying to him. If he did in fact hear my ...
the title of this blog……
December 7, 2009 · Posted by From One Foot to the Other ·
it seems that the title of this blog has finally found its purpose……
i’ve gone from one foot to the other so to speak…..from the dancing one to the “other” one that leads me down other creative paths…….
i’m astonished to feel the shift …..
i don’t know when this blog stopped being about dancing and more about my other creative interests.
i haven’t danced in a while and won’t be making any dances until i pay off the costs of the last two.
i did do a grand battement series and some small jumps in the pool last night. it felt good. but i ...

it’s monday and it’s snowing. the first snow fall of the season. this tree told me it would snow soon. i knew it last week when i took its photo.
so here’s the final version of this sketch. i think it will eventually be a very large painting.
enjoy.

like i said in the previous post, i don’t know where this will go.
but over the weekend i took out my sketch pad and pens and pencils and gave it a beginner’s try.
think i may have to get a bigger sketch pad or learn how to scale things properly. poor tree lost some of its stature in this doodle.

forgiving myself for being a beginner……

i’ve always wanted to be able to do something other than dance. express myself in some other medium. form.
so i doodle. so i scribble. so i slosh paint around my basement. each time forgiving myself for the mess i make and the total silliness that results.
i write and it feels right but to skilled writers it must sound like nonsense. awkwardly constructed and just bad.
i paint and it does not feel right but i do it anyway.
i doodle and i know that all i’m capable of is squiggly lines and cartoonish flatness. not even good cartoonish flatness.
anyway. that’s why i ...
