Walking the streets
Walking the streets of San Diego tonight... the first time I've seen people literally sleeping on the streets in rows...one right in front of the bank. Crazy.

Richard Linklater and watchin lots a movies
I just watched Richard Linklater's SLACKER
I liked it for the most part. I think its a kind sit around with your friends and talk through it kind of movie. Laugh at these parts kind of movie Lets talk about what they're talking about kind of movie.
I've seen waking life, which is a really good great movie in itself and for what it is. I've noticed though in all of Linklater's movies he seems to have this formula down. And wanting to be a film student, an apprentice I'm going to put my mind to it and watch me some movies. And talk about these movies. And go full blast on what these movies are talking, saying to me. going down. going down for the enjoyment. going down for the critique. going down to learn. going down to feel good. going down to imaginify. going down to come back up again. going down for the whole experience. but going down nonetheless. So here's what I gather from Linklater. What his thought process/ production/film making schema is...
Richard Linklater
based around conversations, and odd characters, compelling characters
the outsiders' point of view, lifestyle is being touched upon
the camradery inside of that
the scenario- the questioner, or the non-suspecting person who just happens to be the ear, there is always someone who doesn't know. the newbie, the person who has to be told
Art infused, Semi-grunge culture, frivolous living, Poor bohemian lifestyle
college kids, eccentrics, dwellers, passerbys, weird scenarios, careless conversations, rants, thoughtful persuaders, homeless, naturalists
Stripped Down. Things happen naturally, Everyday living, Everyday talk. Anthropological look on grunge American youth Culture
" Hey how's it going?"
"I just got back from Dallas"
"Dallas, what were you doing in the hospital?"
Just think
"I'll probably go back next week and dance on his grave"

Back to Basics
Hi Everyone,
it has been a lllllooonnnnggg time. I am talking to myself here. Her. It has been a long time. But its good to be back. Be back thinking about making. Thinking about going. Thinking about creating. Thinking about being ok. Thinking and Not thinking. Just beeing in a space that feels comfortable and sometimes thats what is needed.
So it's Christmas time and its defintely about being happy and having fun and good gracious thats just what Im going to do. Have a good time and put my mind down to the grind. Put it down and Put it up.
I have a video here of a thesis in making that I have been putting my mind and efforts into. It is not a cohesive mass yet that I feel is ready to be out in the world yet but there is no harm in sharing my thoughts and the effort that I've put into it thus far.
If anything I hope that you can grasp a feeling of possible impossiblility...anything is possible. Whatever you feel and from that go on to shape shift the world your story into what you want it. What you see it as. I believe thats all I have to sy here other than the product that you are about to see is a collection of people of experiences of dreams after the fact. Here over 30 interviewees are selected randomly without previous notification. They are then taken to a secret location and given a topic having to do with dreams. Alone, they will press play and talk for two minutes until their time is up. This is what they had to say.

Why does the Caged Bird Sing: Maya
Caged Bird
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
