Does doing what you have to do lead to time to do what you want to do? Or just more of what has to be done? Do all the forms, files, paperwork, e-everything, i-podium, MP3, 4, 5, IM, updates, upgrades, lead to peace, nirvana? A clear view of a summers day ending with cool breezes caressing your soul, inspiration to create? Or is it “Ground Hog Day?” Sleep and wake repeat telling yourself tomorrow you”ll be creative. Tomorrow the bureaucratic, political, hollow tasks, distractions along the yellow brick road to the magic kingdom will be swept away by that gentle breeze and you will arrive. © Peter J.

Hmmmmm..... A would think that a real peep would be someone who could function socially; not suffering from paranoid delusions of everyone out to get them and so they must hide behind the anonymity of a "screen name" and fantasy life. I believe the Internet to be a wonderful tool but I wonder how the youth of today would measure up to a previous generation raised without the Internet and not having been exposed daily to the onslaught of every manner of vile and pernicious bullsh*t to be found in the cyberworld. And don't even get me started on television. 300 cable channels and 298 of them are useless as teats on a boar hog. Reality TV? Get serious. Oprah? Dr. Fill, er, Phil? Ricky Lake? Howard Stern? Pardon me for a moment while I expergate my lunch all over my new safety boots. <br/><br/>Anyway, I'm getting off track again. LOL As for the question of the next generation being devoid of social skills, I think it's getting that way. It's almost possible in most parts of the country to live your entire life within the confines of the four walls of your own personal prison, er, "home." You can order everything, INCLUDING GROCERIES, right on the Internet and three days later the brown truck shows up with your goods. No need to even go outside. Two beeps of the horn and a smiling face at the door and you're in fat city. How does one develop social skills with that kind of availability of services? Fortunately kids are still required to actually attend a physical classroom and do learn some social skills but they sit next to each other in class texting one another on their cell phones. {puking on my other shoe now}. Am I just old-fashioned or do I have a valid point? Who can say? Some would say this is "progress." In some ways I can agree. In other ways, I'm not so sure.<br/><br/>My best to you, sir!! If I ever get off the phone with my new girlfriend (God, she is GORGEOUS), I'll give you a call. (And she's highly educated and willing to model for me too!!!) <br/><br/>Good day!<br/><br/>Mike What are real peeps? Hmmmmm…..

I love this shot! I have heard it said that we are not who we think we are and we are not who others think we are. We are who we think others think we are. Profound, to be sure. <br/><br/>Your title, 1908-2008-1984, surely must have a bit of an Orwellian slip there, eh? Knowing you, I can't imagine it was an oversight. Interestingly enough, I graduated in 1984 and I remember reading the book in 1981 for an English class. Has it become a self-fulfilling prophecy? Food for thought.<br/><br/>The Internet is a wonderful thing but it makes me wonder how many sociopaths we will have in society as they sit behind their computers being whomever they desire and never really getting in touch with who they really are. It's so impersonal and probably producing a generation of people with no social skills. If it doesn't include a keyboard and Internet vernacular (i.e. "C U L8TR", etc.) then they will find themselves stumbling through life trying to learn how to interact with REAL people. Insanity.<br/><br/>Be well, my friend. I look forward to your next installment.<br/><br/>Mike Hi Peter. I love this shot!

A car with a scratched identity, someone's soul reflecting in the window, and ageless feminity walking by. <br/><br/>I'd like to ponder over identity question, a bit longer. Love the picture.<br/>Andrea Hi Peter, what a picture. A car with a scratched identity, someone’s soul reflecting in the window, and ageless feminity walking by.

I’d like to ponder over identity question, a bit longer. Love the picture.
