Hey NON, serves them right for making a festival honoring films about CANS. Sheesh, a festival to recycle aluminum cans, glass and plastic is better. OR whatever the heck Im talking about here. lol
Hi Cmiyer, here's a joke about crying. I may have posted it before on CS. It goes:
A man at work complains to his co-worker that he cant find a date. His co-worker says "Thats because you need to be a modern man. Women these days, want a modern man. A modern man is in touch with his feelings and not afraid to cry. Why look at Adam over there, he's a modern man."
The co-worker asks Adam "Hey, did you cry last night." Adam: "I sure did" The co-worker: "Were you alone?" Adam: "Heck yeah, why do you think I was crying?" lol
Hey Cat, I agree.. we are sometimes Darned if we do, and Darned if we dont. We can sometimes stand idly by and still get accused of things, we didnt even know about or do. Sheesh.
As for me, I noticed with each year, comes age.. and with age comes another year. lol ..and then comes, that I dont know what the heck Im saying, like now.
Abagail, you have a dog. Dog's are great dishwashers. I let my dog clean my plate and then put the plate back in the dish rack.. ready to go.. clean as a whistle.
Oh, Abagail.. you're information is not useless.. very entertaining and interesting and helpful. Some years ago, I thought my ex-GF saw me as useless, but then one day, she needed to borrow my credit card. WOW! She said, I was a great hero to her that day. Next day, she broke up with me and left me in debt.. but ahhh, I was a hero for one day. Yeah!
I've been in and out of the video, TV, advertising, special events, scripting, coaching actors, acting, theatre, short movies and so on for many years. I can honestly tell you, it takes a lot of money right now to get a movie, even a short movie released nationally or enough to recognitions away from just one's hometown.
I once did a tv show a week, then it went to every other week and it was tough to get it all together...but I managed to do it for some years. It is not easy to do a movie.. you need to get together sponsors, investors such as executive producers, producers, perhaps directors if you yourself dont do it, many writers or consultants to help you get the right audience appeal, scenery, rights to shoot here, shoot there.. scripts.. actors, lighting, camera crew, editors... make up, sound engineers, locations scouts, film distributors.. electric crew, communications crew, wardrobe, legal rights, business licenses so that the government or state gets their part.. and on and on... with tiring amounts of hours and hours of work and very little rest or sleep... and still there are no guarantees that it will all work.
Every year, Hollywood rejects many great movies.. that we will never know of. Some with big name actors. Just some will never see the screen or video market.
However, regardless of the gambles and downsides, we love what we do, and we keep beleiving. I still have plans for a short movie, which friends have been asking me for, for some years now... but I will do it when the time is right for me, and no sooner or later.
I hope YOU have great success in your venture. No matter what has happened to others... YOU can always make something great happen.. if you just keep faith and keep believing in your project. I truly wish you the best! I wish you great success!
Im an animal lover too. I dont like to see or read about such things... but several years ago, my work was missing a technician and so they sent me to connect some wires at a major meat company near town here.. and I had to wear protective helmet with shield and gloves and boots and coat.. I had to go right through the middle of everything happening.. and I just kept my eyes downward.. until I got to the small operating office where I did my work and got out of there as soon as possible. Unfortunately, that place made me feel sick that day. Strange, when I was a kid, none of that got to me.. but now it does.
Just my two cents here, err okay 5 cents now with inflation, lol.
Anyways, NO MATTER what you felt in the past or now... the day you encounter the ONE who truly captures your heart.. then all these kinds of thoughts and talk will be thrown out the window.
All the second guessing or the "this is what I want is to be single" or all that stuff.. will out the window when REAL LOVE comes a knocking and melts your heart... and all the disappointments of the past or uncertainties of the past.. will have all been worth it.. when you finally find great love and happiness.
Keep hope, keep faith.. Life is for living and loving. Dont let your heart and hopes die. Keep positive.. and I wish you and everyone here great happiness and smiles every day.
Hey Market,, rumor has it.. that because more and more people are becoming so vain in the world.. that YOUTUBE may be soon changing it's name to METUBE. lol
Hey Market.. Im not ED.. but anyways.. I know how the world evolved.
You see, first there were the Flintstones.... then Mr. Slate hired Fred.. and Barney moved next door.. and the next thing I know.. here came Gilligan's Island and Seinfeld.
Whew! Yes, I actually went to college.. eh and sometimes I went to classes too. lol
I was twice a judge on singing, dancing, musicianship talent shows, but never on literature. I am not so qualified in such areas, but I know what I like, and I know what sounds good when read. Your poem flowed like a song.
Interesting deep thoughts here. Many years ago, I worked with a guy who asked me "Am I in your world, or are you in mine?" He added "What if earth, or perhaps our universe is simply a grain of sand in bigger place?" Very deep, but yes, I think we all second think many things in our lives when met with challenges and obstacles. It all tests our faiths and convictions.
Thank you Aus, for the blogs exchanges. You're profile has my part of the world blocked from emailing you, and so I thank you here in this comment, for making this evening entertaining, interesting and a joy. Have a great night or day!
You're not alone on this problem. I can see all videos anywhere else on this site and on any other site on the net.. except on the blogs here.
I can hear them, but can't see them, again this only happens on the blog section here. It was working, and suddenly one day it stopped. This has been going on for about two weeks. So, I no longer worry about it. I post music videos after my blogs sometimes anyway, or sometimes I just post the LINK and that works better for me and perhaps for others too.
Just thought I'd let you know, you're not alone on this, and my computer is new with all programs on it new too.
RE: Buyer Beware
Hi 444Joy,I dont know about you, but I know for certain.. "Someone somewhere is thinking about ME"... The Bill Collectors. lol
Stay hopeful
