I'm trying, really.

I actually am working on an honest-to-goodness actual "blog." Well I'm trying to anyway, it's hard to focus, especially with all the pretty things on Tumblr I have to look at. (Who knew that there were so many strange looking skinny girls?)

Actually I have 4 in the works. Blog ideas, that is. Are any of them anything worthwhile? Probably not, but I'm still cracking away at them. One day I'll get around to finishing my series of in depth examinations of all the Disney Movies. (2 out of 50 is pretty good, right?).


yeah, yeah, kevie, why don't you stop talking about it and just do it already then?

Awesome.

Have I mentioned that Disney/Pixar is making a live action John Carter of Mars? Or that it's directed by Andrew Stanton (a Bug's Life, Finding Nemo, Wall-E)? Or that the script is by Michael Chabon? Or that it's starring Willem Dafoe? Or that the music is by Michael Giacchino? No? oh, well, I think it'll be pretty good.

FIND ME:

I'm all over the internet, and because of my unfortunate similar shared namesakes (The Amazing OTHER Kevin Peterson, the artist or my Cricket playing counterpart) I'm not quite as easily "googled" as others. So:

Today: May 8th.

Today is a day that at one point was actually an important day. A day that meant a great deal to me. Now today is just simply a day.

Alright fine.

So, here we are. It's come to this. Due to the demands of two people (one especially pushy!!) I'm going to update this regularly now. Not that I haven't tried to start blogging on a regular basis... I have dozens of half-written blogs, all ridiculously outdated (did you know Obama is President, now?) and another 50 or so ideas written in my idea notebook (iPhone), one day I'll get around to them. The problem I have is that I'm a notoriously self-concious writer, I never like anything I write and I'm never quite "finished" with it. The only things I actually finish writing and turn in are assignments for grades and even then those assignments are never done, they're ripped from my hands! After which I spend the weeks or days or hours waiting for my paper (which I've convinced myself is a failure) to return.. only to look at the high final grade perplexed and confused, convinced that it must be some sort of mistake.

One of the reasons I've latched on to Twitter is that it's so much easier to get all my blog ideas out of the way without having to worry about actually writing sufficient content (it is called micro-blogging after all) the downside being any idea larger than 140 characters is truncated or abandoned in an attempt to not bog down my feed (or my poor followers, they already suffer enough by following me).

I labour so much over everything I write, not just school work but texts, Twitter Posts, Status Updates trying to make everything "work." 9 times out of 10, if you see me on my phone, I'm generally trying to make the same damn Pocahontas joke work despite the fact that nobody is going to understand it besides me. So, anyway, where was I going with this?

OH, yes.

So, this is what should have been about my fantastic Geology class and my AMAZING field trip to Cave Of The Winds, down in Manitou Springs, Colorado, but I forgot my camera cord so therefore I have no pictures and therefore no visual aid to go along with my blah-blah-blah. So, this is what you get.

So what I'm going to need to actually keep up with this, is constant nagging, so (you know who you are) keep pushing me! I can't promise it'll always be good (or that it will ever be good...) but it's a start. Give me topics! If you have a stupid animation or comic question you need answering, ask away. It'll give me incentive to keep going. ALSO, help get me to start doing more art and I'll throw that up here too.
