My Old Track & Field Days

Watching the #Olympics reminds me of my old track and field days. Way back when, my events were the shot put, discus, and javelin (I even learned a little hammer throw from Leslie Coons).

In 1999, I went to Cleveland, Ohio for the NATIONAL AAU JR OLYMPIC GAMES and later took 3rd place in the San Diego USATF Regional Junior Olympics Track & Field Championships at Balboa Stadium, SDSU, in 2002.

Even though shot put was usually my best event, I think I miss #discus the most.

H.A.N.

Women need the art, poetry, music, and creative safe spaces more than the men. #period

I turn on my car to find two lights on the dash. On the right, the check engine light and on the left, the empty gas tank light. As I roll over the bumps in my apartment complex, the gas light dims and disappears for a few seconds. It lets me know that there's still a bit sloshing around in there. I open my g-mail to find an e-mail from my ex. The air around me began to fizzle and my heart paused as I read. It lets me know that there's still a bit sloshing around in there. <|3

Live Painting III

Here is my third live painting. What is interesting about this instance is that the girl painted here didn't appear until the end of the painting. I had painted the girl very quickly at home (it's not very clean) and then applied a new medium I've discovered that allows you to essentially erase paint. So, I painted the entire piece in one color so the figure couldn't be seen underneath. Then I let it dry and packed it up in my car for the show. At the show, I proceeded to paint the background in several layers. I was even allowed to spray paint a bit. And then half way through, I began to expose the painting underneath. People were pretty amazed at my "performance" and kept questioning me about what I described as a "magic trick". Only one person knew what I had done. :) Anyway, I think I will reclaim this idea. That is of the girl as a guitar. <|3
