| I just watched a documentary about this film maker in Wisconsin and.. this guy seriously took three years to complete one 35 minute film. He did other things as well, worked a job at the cemetary, started other projects, spent time with his kids but.. he always came back to this one project. I know this is not how it broke down but think about it.. three years, for 35 minutes of film.. that is like, an average of... 12 minutes of film a year, roughly. If you were on a diet and only lost 12 pounds a year.. how long would you continue.. how many of us would even make it for that first year? That would be one pound a month, this guy filmed one minute a month (again, this is not the actual break down of how his filming went, just a mathematical average of how it could have went). He did eventually get it done, did a premier screening, he never became the next Spielburg but.. he finished something, which is more than I can say about most of the things I begin. I want to start writing again, but... I can't follow through. And then I start to think that.. what if I only wrote 12 words a year.. one word a month for 3 three years. Would I be able to do it? I know I wouldn't. And this guy in the documentary, after spending three years off and on working on this one 35 minute film.. he just had the biggest smile on his face, you knew that he felt so.. complete.. for a second. He accomplished this one really kind of daunting thing, yes it did take three times as long as it should have but.. he did it. And then he moved right ontohis next film, a feature length that he has kept going off and on for I think it was like.. 6 years at the time the documentary was being made. Maybe I just don't have the drive this man did.. or maybe I haven't found the thing that I am so passionate about, that I believe in so strongly that I just know I will get it done, just because I have to, and the timeline doesn't matter... I don't know... | | |
| I am going to start writing.. "poetry" again...
if anything ends up being good, it just may make its way onto here.. we'll see.
The first steps will be the purchase of a new notebook and new pens and pencils.. this hopefully will be done before leaving work today | | |

| I don't believe that I am damned to hell for being completely in love with a non-Christian. I believe I have the power to forgive myself, though I tend to not be able to forgive others. I don't believe that I will amount to much, but I do believe that I will impact the people around me. I believe there is a verse in the bible that says judge not lest ye be judged, and I do believe I have heard a sermon where a pastor said when people say only God can judge them, they are wrong and that we are to judge others. I believe he maybe didn't realize how ignorant that sounded.. or that he believed that if others judged him, he was so.. "good" that he would still be fine. I believe love is a choice. I believe attraction you cannot help. I believe that for being as insecure as I am, I am terribly arrogant. I believe that I fish for validations, not compliments. I believe that I can count the number of true friends I have on one hand. I believe people take me for granted. I believe that I lack the ability to keep up relationships, I don't believe that stems from laziness, but more of.. fear of being in the way. I believe I am to learn from the past, though I don't believe I do often enough. I believe that most films being made today, in America are junk. I believe we must be fresh out of screenplay writers, seeing as how every film coming out is based on a book, play or is a flat out remake. I believe I missed out on a lot of really cool times (the birth of punk, the New York club kid scene, the original Woodstock). I don't believe that my generation has it in them to create a really cool time now. I believe it is ridiculous to ask people to care about the enviroment when we do not even care about each other. I believe I am always incredibly misunderstood, though I don't believe that to be a bad thing. I believe I find myself wittier and more amusing that anyone else does. I don't believe the ocean is a good place to swim. I believe gender roles are stupid, but I also believe in being really stereotypically girly at times. I believe creating art is cathartic, and viewing art is thought provoking. I believe people that label themselves are asking for insults. I believe I am pretentious, without reason as well. I believed I felt better about myself when I was a big fish in a little pond, though I believe I had more frustration. I believe at a certain age you should not worry about wrinkles and make up and be thankful you are still alive and embrace that without your ego being in the way. I believe the closest thing to nirvana can be achieved on a warm spring day, listening to pop punk eating coconut ice cream. | | |
