Re-working the Self

Ok. So sometimes life directs you to go somewhere you didn't think you were going.  As opposed to doing a film, I did an off-broadway show. And am now continuing to write a piece for stage, I haven't written-off film, its just not seeming to work out right now. In all this writing its come to my attention that I write dialogue quite well, but I'm always alone in the pursuit, not talking. It seems to be paradoxical, and it kind of makes you feel like you're going insane. 
     The other thing this has made me realize is that, it is the way I live my life.  I say dialogue and i don't take into consideration the effect it will have. I don't do things with malice, yet the things I do are malicious.  I cast out joking barbs, without counter-balancing them. There has been a lot happening recently that has got me thinking, and convinced me for good reason , that I need to change my entire life approach because my behavior, my lack of seeing things in totality, from all angles, takes a toll on other people, also, I can never hope to be a good writer if this is the case. (Do i hope to be a writer? i thought i was just doing it.....).
         I've been hit on the head hard enough to know, now, that I must make these changes. That I must be ever-conscious. It seems like such a responsibility. But I'm glad to accept it. 

      It's incredibly difficult not to hold what you love in your hand. You have to let it do what its functioned to do, even if it seems to ignore you. Because the truth is it's not ignoring you, it's respecting, equally, the space you gave it. You can pick it up, as long as it has time to rest. Otherwise, you'll grow tired yourself.  
          how can such a sad empty feeling give way and  have such optimism in it?

Script to Screen

   I need to stop sitting on my potential.  It's not that I have no outlets, rather, I have the outlet's I'm just lacking that igniting thing. Tons of ideas, fleshed out scripts, no camera. This is an Issue.
I'm Not asking for direct handouts. I'm asking for moral support. Henceforth, this blog will be updated as much as possible as a journey about making a film. From where I am now, with a finished script, all the way (hopefully) to a screening, and beyond with other projects. 
             
                  The progress thus far consists of finally getting in contact with a friend and Gentleman  who has a production company and camera. It helps to know some people. I will keep this updated as updates happen.

Stuff and Junk

It has been 3 months since I last wrote here. I have been stranded now for days.....

      It all actuality the last three months has seen a lot of improvement. Granted LOST is over for 8 months and Michael Jackson has died, but the world keeps turning and positive strides are being made. 
      
       I began taking a film class on Tuesday. It's pretty sweet, I'm nowhere near as abysmal as I'd thought. Anycrap, I actually have to go do stuff with a scene partner. And other stuff, and probably stop by work. and pay rent. and the list keeps going.

Expect more creative things soon

Howdy Hey Howdy.

So it's almost tax time. Mine are pending. Today is payday. Im waiting on my check. I spend too much time in limbo waiting for other forces to work themselves out in my favor. This should change. And this is going to (hopefully) be a chronicle of my quest to correct that. 

                                                          -Enjoy the day!
