โ€œAwakeโ€ (reimagined)

First time editing with imovie in a number of yrs, and it was my first time using my iphone to shoot something. But I was itching to, so here we goโ€ฆ

“Awake” was written in December 2013 (the poem debuted on Word press).

What I’m Reading…

Right now I’m reading “Killing Eve” the pilot screenplay (here). This is how I prepare myself for the marathon that is writing a screenplay. I read, to start having fun. Then by the end, when the mood is high and I’m eager, I hit the ground running anxiety be damned. Read with me, if you like.

It’s REALLY good.

Break for Anime?

This is a great time for writing, for escaping it all. And I have escapes from my escapes.

Right now, I’m penning an anime series alongside a last rewrite of a live-action feature film. But it took foreeeeeeever to get started writing it, because I didn’t really know how to structure one. I wasn’t too sure what the needed elements might be… but… funny thing… I forgot I started as an animator. I went the flip book, animation focus in high school, major in college route, before falling in love with live action filmmaking and betraying animation (my first love lol).

So I do have some idea how to create dynamic scenes. And I’ve been working on storytelling for so long now – I hope I know how to tell a good one by now.

But you know what the most surprising thing is so far? It’s fun!

It’s not the primary genre I work in, so I feel like I have alot of room to play and mess up. Do whatever.

Let it be great, or not.

Be free…

Sweet Nothing Something

Through the battle

And the storm

Through the tussle

And theย Bustle

After the shaming

And the maiming

I forgot that littleย part

Deep within my heart

That wants to hear

You’re pretty.

It’d been so long

I thought Iย misheard.

But –

There it was again.

Aย statement repeated so I wouldn’t miss it.

 

I forgot how to react.

Graces out of whack.

I wanted to respond with tact.

In fact

Relax.

But I felt taxed.

Stressed to the max.

Before my ‘Thank-you.’

Caine’s Arcade – cool little kid!

I love how LA (adians) lol – I dunno what to call em’ – came out to support him. I woulda gone too, but I’m in NY.

But the dad is pretty great (don’t you think)? Notice, he never got down or discouraged in his ideas.

But I’m thankful this filmmaker wandered in there too, this made my day to see.

Thought Lifting

A quiet that should make him disappear

With fire burning brighter than all of the gym

He’s older than the rest of them

A look that says donโ€™t mess with him

But Iโ€™m about to commit a sin

No better yet make him a friend

Still I donโ€™t know where to begin

I swear I might as well be ten

Then he looks and it’s a test

Something telling me give your ย best

Conjure up courage to kill the stress

No no no I’ll never confess

Well unless

There’s one in what he says

Just so scared to be a pest

Times up

Next machine

He’s leaving the scene

Now I’m gonna feel like a fiend

Needing that chance

Ripped from my hand

Hold up there

Iโ€™m one of your fans

Oh my words just never land

Doesn’t matter off goes Peter Pan

Not really think this one is a man

Maybe tomorrow I’ll woman up.

I try to eat organic as much as possible, moving toward a Gluten Free diet. Not there yet, some days are better than others…

3. Would you rather have the power to change the past or see the future? Why?

The power to change the past. Passion without wisdom encounters a barrage of mistakes.ย And I made BIG ones… a few I wish I could undo!

4. What advice would you give your younger self? ย Leave NY.ย It’s hype.

Don’t dismiss Star.

Pray 100% more. Spend more time with the tried and true ones.

The name of an ex of mine.

6. What song/piece of music resonates with you in this moment?

Alice in Chains – Down in a Hole (w/ Layne Staley)

The realist is murdering the dreamer, but the dreamer is a fighter. She’s still alive, it’s a war…

8. Is money really the source of all evil?

NO. It depends on how you use it.

9. Isnโ€™t the universe amazing???

At times…

10. How do you express happiness?

Spending time with people who inspire me or who I love. ย Watching movies. Enjoying the company of children. Listening to music. Dancing. Being affectionate with those I love and trust. Reading authors who I enjoy. Being around my extended families (not blood). Sharing about life with my parents (who are now friends).

11. What things in life bring you comfort? Prayer. Having my own space. Writing. Knowing people who genuinely care for me. Spending time with my parents. Exchanges about life with good friends. Having a way to make money. Having a grown up for a love – someone who allows me to contribute to him and who contributes to my life (not the throw aways). Working out. Experiencing nature. Leaving NY for any reason!!!
