The PEEPSHOW celebrates EARTH WEEK / Day 3

photomarkseelen Peeps, In spite of the actions of some, there is still much to celebrate.  We are now living in a time where everyday individuals, common-place persons just like ourselves, have begun to look beyond the facade presented (and maintained) by big businesses, unscrupulous politicians, and 'the system' which sought to control free thought and speech, and movement(s).  And advances in technology should be given credit for much of the slow unraveling of a hegemony that stretches back through many decades.  The Internet (and social media) has allowed for many, who previously voice-less and thus inconsequential, to voice their displeasure and dissatisfaction at the status quo and the inequalities experienced by many in the world, save the privileged and powerful.  Information, flowing unrestricted across borders and barriers, now more clearly reveals the transactions and 'deals' once conducted under the cover of darkness, behind closed doors, or for...

The PEEPSHOW presents MORE EYE CANDY #2 / Day 5

imagetriagiovan viaathoughtfuleyeblog Peeps It's Monday morning and collectively we survived the trip back home to see the folks, as well as getting through any discomfort from probably eating too much holiday fare.  Still, getting away from the usual pace of our life allows to more fully appreciate what we do have, as well as enables a clearer understanding of the small, tiny steps that must be taken to achieve the goals we've set for ourselves at the start of this year, and just might have fallen short of completing.  If I could just stay clear of the anxieties which accompany the rush to get it all done perfectly before Santa gets here, I'll be just fine. And nothing comes close to the bliss of being stress-free, especially during the holiday season when expectations lurk behind every holly bush.  Hope everyone is just as excited as I am in getting to the close of what has been quite a challenging year, as well as looking forward to the pleasant su...
