It is very important to live by a large body of water. The closer to one of the greats, the better you'll understand. I would imagine that the experience is very similar to one who lives by a great mountain. Therefore, I retract my previous statement. Here's a new one:
It is very important to live by a large natural entity.
Natural, key word.
To say more on the subject would take days, and that is not a time frame you internet worms find acceptable. So instead, we'll continue on.
Here's some fanciness to pass the time: ta da
Rather fitting for a worm, no?

Well Plaid
When all is said and done, you'll realize that you should have had more fun. The rain has stopped and reality sets in, so I present to you a lovely treat. Always one to never disappoint, Wes will continue to amaze you and your loved ones with acts of clarity through a veil of confusion. Do not delay, this I must implore.

I like your spots
Released today, waiting for your purchase, is Fantastic Mr. Fox , in various formats to suit your tastes. A lovely film, I only hesitate a moment to acquire this version, for surely it will be given a Criterion touch, no? But if you can't wait, it's out now and I do highly suggest that you at least find an opportunity to watch it!
In other news,
I grew up on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, as I would watch it every Summer since I had come across it in my grandfather's small collection of films (on VHS, no less). I still watch it every Summer (not on VHS), or try to at least. Should I be critical about this slight remake? I don't think so and I look forward to this one. Although I must tell you that I have dibs on making the science fiction equivalent.

see you see me
That last post was full of gravy, as I would say. And that doesn't make much sense. So here are a few things you should make an effort to catch before you miss them.
1) The Ghost Writer. Classical cinema, quite superb. Perhaps you'll read the book?
2) The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. This has a limited release in the US. There's word that there will be a Hollywood remake, so I assure you that you'll want to see this version before Hollywood pisses all over it. Perhaps you'll even read the books?
3) The Sun.

The persistent dream is, whether welcomed or not, a haunting one. This is where you divert your attention to your drink, or the waitress, if we were speaking in person. For you are all too familiar with that dream.
The events may not repeat exactly, the persons involved may change their faces, even actions and places will change. But it's the same dream. It is, because you will always feel the same after you awaken.
Okay, so maybe you don't. Perhaps you have lost touch with your dreams, with your subconscious. Perhaps I have just gone mad. But I assure you, it's only a Monday morning and I am not drunk.
In my youth I excelled at what is called 'lucid dreaming'. It was quite a joy to participate in those fantastic worlds shaped by, and yet not, myself. Nightmares were non-existent, for I would turn the whole ordeal into a game. I could recall events as clear as the day we walk through. Each night would commence with a "what shall we dream of tonight" thought and off I would go. If I did not enjoy a certain dream, I would pause momentarily by opening my eyes and close them to find myself in a more pleasant dreamscape. Such control, how wonderful.
But I can freely admit now that I participated too much in such acts. Drugs were not my vice as I grew up. Dreaming was. My sense of reality was warped, as I could not differentiate between an actual or a dream event. To the mind, events can appear real, even if they are not. I did very little to try to separate the two worlds, and now I obsess over the mind. Our perception of reality is but an amalgamation of thoughts, continually changing as our senses detect the world around us. An ever-changing view.
But I don't want to get off topic now.
So for as much lucid dreaming as I took part in, I did also frequently have dreams that I could not control. These dreams were not too different than my other dreams, so I thought nothing of it. Until you keep having the same dream.
Let's be clear here. This repetitive dream, is not a dream, but a world. A double life? Who knows. But each time this dream occurs, I notice. It changes, it grows, there's development and there's death. I only find myself in that dream, unable to change it. Just a visitor, only temporary. When it is over, I awaken. Not happy, nor sad. There is no remorse or feeling of content - I just am aware of my existence. I just am.
This persistent dream, you do have it, yes?
What sticks out the most about this dream? In mine - it is always raining. It has either just stopped, or it's about to begin, or it is currently. The smell of it, the cool feel of it, and the total silence as all await the first drop.
I know now why I am happy when it rains, it's like a dream to me. That dream. Forever haunting.

you have to care for it
to keep it together.
How about this rain? Wet wet wet. And moist, when it's not. But a little squealer hovers over my hands as I currently type and keeps me somewhat optimistic. He can fly, or so is lead to believe.
Honest.
I am not going to show you any flowers, so sorry. It's terrible of me, but I just don't know what to show you, so I'll show you what other work has kept me busy. Please do let me know of your opinion on the matter. Perhaps I will see you there? Let us meet! I'll be the one with clubs.
The ever random gallery has been updated. If you happen to be near, and would like for me to take photos, please do let me know. I am always looking for interesting events, or even the not-so-interesting (for those can be quite exciting) events to capture on film. Oh yes, on FILM.
I have one more surprise for you. Check the film section. Well, it's a surprise for those of you that haven't already explored my youtube account. I figured I would make a home for it here. Oh, and this has caught my attention, so I will share it with you as well. Enjoy.
Let's stay up to greet the sun.

cement shoes
The rains have come and current times have caused me to crawl back into a safe place. Here, I will be brought comfort by past enchantments. Here, I will remember the good times.
Rain has that affect on me.
Flowers, if you have not forgotten, will be on display. That is, I'll post a sneak at what I've been doing this entire time with the project. I'm still up in the air about whether I should keep it in black and white, or in color. They are flowers, and those are wonderful to experience in color. But I'm bad at coloring things digitally, which is always a good reason to try coloring. In the hopes that I will improve that feat, I will try, but I'll keep them to myself for a while. Pity, you.
Notice the zazzle link? When I am really distracted, or trying hard to be, I'll make something and throw it on there. Occasionally someone actually purchases an item or two, so I must be doing something right. Not much up at the moment, but I have neat things brewing. You are all welcome to buy stuff, don't be shy. Also, any funds that do come in from there will go straight towards my projects. It's a win-win situation, such joy.
In other news, there is still time to submit to NYFA . If it suits you, then by all means, wear it.
One other event that is accepting submissions that you may like is near to me. Not personally, just geographically. RoCo has an event that is, although young, rather loved. Create a work of art that is no bigger than a 36 inch square area (that is to say, 6x6, and preferably flat. Yeah, I know, silly restrictions but that's life), and wait to see if someone wants it (unlike your child).
Does my humour escape you? Probably.
It sure is exciting to know that you made something that some stranger will find enjoyable. It's a satisfactory feeling.
New photos up this weekend, some are quite lovely that it breaks my heart.
What's left of it.
Funkstörung - Disconnected, is the album of the day. Search for them and enjoy the beauty they created, but know that they have split up.
That's life.

drifting sideways
Occasionally, when tunnel vision takes hold, one needs to reaffirm their reality. Fortunately for me, there is a giant to assist with this matter. It looms over me and has caused many a moment's hesitation to startle me back to, well, the start.
But you can only rebuild a foundation so many times before your very bones are used for the mix.
So let us move on to the next step. Let us, very much so, continue.
NYFA has opened up for March its Fiscal Sponsorship application. Deadline is at the end of March, so don't delay, apply today! I learned quite a bit when I first applied (and "lost") and am a bit more traveled since then as well, so I'm optimistic on my chances.
Well, one needs to stay positive.
NYFA has changed the application process to a quarterly submission type rather than the bi-annual one of before. More chances? More applicants? Better? For us, yes. Maybe. Did I mention that it is free to apply? And they most certainly help you, even after the process! They're just that nice, ain't it swell?
In other news, the Streaming Festival has made available it's March program. A collection of music videos by Nukubus, they are sure to please all who are as open in mind as music videos are in structure. Not that I have seen these videos, yet, they will be part of a weekend program I will cherish alone.
For those of you that do not obsessively track my subtle updates, I have linked to a few of my films so that you can view and mock at your leisure, and added some links as well to guide you about the paths I take in this digital world. This web I weave is getting most intricate, I do sure hope it turns out swell.
New photos to be up at some point. Of what? I do not know, but I have 8 rolls of film to develop. There should be something of interest within those canisters.
