inspiration
film ideas come to you in the strangest of places. I only have to look so far as my daily experiences with fedex, or perhaps inspired by my general intake of the world around me.

Wow. I dig on someone that is not even INTO the internet. Like I could say anything I want about her and she'd never even read it.

I was afraid today and I am wet right now. My eyes hurt from 3 hours of chlorine exposure. I am proud of myself...
I slid down the nice little slide into the pool with no problem. Then someone suggested standing on the top rung of the ladder and swinging with your arms to kind of jump onto the slide and go down with more force.
No problem.
Then Tom and Joe Small both jumped right fucking off the slide from the top going into the pool from 8 feet above.
Problem.
Fear.
I couldn't even do it. I somehow got brian to do it by power of suggestion and after he did it he said "that was great."
To which I replied "sorry, I didn't really do it!"
and then he got all mad!!! so I felt bad and I did it. THREE TIMES. I was only scared the first time but damn what a rush. Reminds me of Patrick Ederle's house when we dove off the roof into the pool in 1996. I conquered the fear... I felt so good...

Bad Day - Animation
Gonna record some more audio soon. I have to find a second narrator because we kill the first one. Never killed a narrator before so this is new territory. I'll keep you updated.

Salmon for breakfast. Is this weird? They had this spread for us at work this morning so I tried it. A Bagel w/ salmon. Pretty good.
Reminds me of a month ago when I thought Iw as ordering a salmon dinner when I took Rosanna out. I some how ordered an appetizer so my dinner was a bunch of crackers and some salmon. I was crying.
But today was good. It was yummy. A little weird for me, but yummy.

I was just pretending that I was playing the most incredible game of bingo in my life.
We are converting data from the old MS Works tape library system to the new Xytech database. We already converted Master numbers 5000 - 5100, plus all the elements that we used to create the masters. I made a sheet of just numbers from 0 to 5000 and went thru it to circle all the numbers we had already converted.
4017.. YES.. (circle it) 5023.. YES (circle it) about 100 tapes later I was getting loopy so I started to pretend it was a bingo game and every number that was called was one I got to circle.
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW... if only bingo were really this easy / fun.

Out of space and time.
and the boundaries in my mind. - Vida Blue
Staying in town this weekend was the best idea in the world. Originally I was gonna go to Chicago, then I was gonna go to Grand Rapids. Come Saturday I didn't feel like driving anywhere, and I had an urge to catch Vida Blue here in Detroit.
The show was nothing short of fantastic. Exploratory jazz music always opens up my soul. Plus they played old pop favorites, John Lennon's Jealous Guy, Pink Floyd's Dogs, Steve Millers Fly Like an Eagle.
Sporting members from Phish, Allman Brothers and The Meters, this band has talent. Don't take my word for it, check it out yourself.
Sunday I slept until almost 5pm and then Cheryl got me up and made me come to a pool party. Girls in bikini's shortly after waking up is a good, good thing. On the way to the party I went to Kinko's and printed out two copies of The Next Breath so I could do some more red pen revisions. Another 3 weeks and this script will be in pretty good shape, which is good 'cause if my next audition goes well I will have the main female role cast and shooting can begin. I'm already throwing out ideas on where to have promotional photos taken. I better see what Paulie thinks he wants to do.

I love this time of day.
The calm before the storm. I know in my mind there is a great thing on the horizon for me. Mentally, spiritually and eveyrthing else. It all falls in to place as I put the wheels in motion. I am about to acheive incredible things. My antipication matches only my passion.

Rain is so nice.When it's warm and it's raining, it is my favorite time to be outside.
Lennon said it best in the Beatles' "Rain"
When the rain comes,
they run and hide their heads.
Might as well be dead.
When the rain comes.
When the rain comes.
When the sun shines,
they slip into the shade.
And drink their lemonade,
when the sun shines.
when the sun shines.
I can show you
that when it rains and shines
it's just a state of mind.
I can show you.
Rain.
I don't mind.
Shine.
The weathers fine.

The Day After is too close to what could actually happen then I would really like to see. I guess it's a necessity. Here I've been thinking lately that current world events have given me more fear in general than what other generations would have had to deal with. I caught a Portugeuse version of this film (transferred from a wonderful VHS English version) I am so glad I was not the generation that saw this in middle school or I would seriously be a fucked up individual.
WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?
That is the topic we shall discuss. Too bad I'm the only one in this blog so you're just gonna have to listen and you can just forget about giving input or expressing opinions. This is my blog, bitch, so just sit back and scan those pixels with your bloody red eyes and your one handed typing. (eww. get off my website. No wait, I take that back I didn't mean it that way. Help, I'm stuck in a parenthesis!!!!!)
"What the hell was I thinking," I cleverly said as I spun around to meet what would be my destiny on a platter.
"Nurse!" I cleverly screamed as she looked at me with a look of scientific fascination and pure disgust. I winked and thought it might turn into a proverbial phermone laced blunt kind of a night.
Little did I know that I would soon gaze into my fluid soul and find treasures. The image on the water stares at me. I look deep in it's eyes until the wind breaks up the reflection I stare at. I will call my new friend reality. Reality knows that I seek attention. I cannot accept this now but if I stare long enough at the fluid reflection I will realize that I am alone.
