A musing about my artistic side

Most people who know me consider me your usual weather nerd (those who know what Rossby waves and nacreous clouds are). But what some don't fully know is that I have had a artistic side that has grown along with my science. To those who haven't been introduced to my other side, here is an introduction.

The  medium that I am most comfortable with in art is writing and I love to write poetry. My inspiration comes from feelings that I have had since I was a child and come from me observing the world and people. My poetry however, isn't of the avant-garde genre and tends to what I see as either postmodern or slightly romantic, but those could just be my own descriptions. I have been composing a four part poetry book these past four years and hope to one day publish it and call it "Creative Wavelengths", which are what I call the feelings I go to for my inspiration.

Also, I'm very creatively and educationally inspired by the culture of Japan. Though I'm not as anime obsessed as some and I draw from a wider spectrum of their culture. I find that many aspects of Japanese life are elegant and inspiring and reflect the love and acceptance that I've always wanted.  I hope to one day visit there after I learn their language and complete my meteorology studies.

Finally I live the poetic person's dream of being a hopeless romantic. I hope to find that special someone who can fill my spirit with true love and happiness. It will take some time but I know that I can find that distant paradise one day.

Have a warm day,
Justin Reid
