longing,
beyond what we have come to expect,
with every minor chord her heart bleeds a bit more,
trying to connect the space with,
words,
images,
thoughts,
she is still left without what she needs the most,
him.
adorned by daily rituals,
foam in coffee cup,
the walk by the trattoria,
the florist who stares at her a bit too long,
she is still not whole.
loaded with technology and communication she can almost touch,
him.
she can almost fill the void,
replacing his presence with,
his digital footprint,
but it’s not like his feet,
coarse and tender all at once.
so she is left with what she knows best,
the blood that flows in her aching heart,
and time,
which will soon change sides,
and become her ally.
21st century timesuck.
open up and say blah blah blah...

i just saw the king’s speech today and i was kinda dumbfounded by how good it was. it’s fun to see content without thinking about anything. it’s amazing how much we have invested in stuff, things, materials etc. to populate our existence. i was reminded of how much stuff gets in our way by watching this very film. a man could not get his voice to work and he stood in his own way. the scariest thing that he faced was … the radio. it made me think- what are we barraged with today. too much. i will speak from the collective we, and take the liberty in lumping all of you reading this in it! if you don’t like it- effu.
so as i was saying- in a way it’s a fucking miracle anything gets done today. we have A LOT of things to attend to and so little time to think and reflect. we just react, over and over without really seeing our reactions through. and so i censor myself in fear of not saying anything- cause i’m not doing- maybe i’m just reacting. maybe today is just a reaction to a king overcoming his speech impediment and how we must overcome our own impediments. maybe it’s just dribble.
in any case it was really nice to watch a near perfect film- i drank too much water which ruined my perfect movie watching experience.
how’s that for starters?
standing at the precipice
does tumblr have spell check?
an agency producer friend (i know, you think i’m lying, but i swear!) of mine called me a maverick a few months ago. maverick… LMAO. i’m still trying to figure out how to blog! i was looking at schofield’s twitter account today and he has 667 followers- feels way more qualified for the maverick label than me. who is writing into a void.
i’m curious to see how this new world shakes out for caviar. swimming with the big boys right and getting our ass kicked! but we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves we’re gonna unleash.
back to sunday reveries of megalomaniacal mogul ambitions.
or i’ll just settle for a nap.
zzz.

Leap Before You Look
The sense of danger must not disappear:
The way is certainly both short and steep,
However gradual it looks from here;
Look if you like, but you will have to leap.
Tough-minded men get mushy in their sleep
And break the by-laws any fool can keep;
It is not the convention but the fear
That has a tendency to disappear.
The worried efforts of the busy heap,
The dirt, the imprecision, and the beer
Produce a few smart wisecracke every year;
Laugh if you can, but you will have to leap.
The clothes that are considered right to wear
Will not be either sensible or cheap,
So long as we consent to live like sheep
And never mention those who disappear.
Much can be said for social savior-faire,
Bu to rejoice when no one else is there
Is even harder than it is to weep;
No one is watching, but you have to leap.
A solitude ten thousand fathoms deep
Sustains the bed on which we lie, my dear:
Although I love you, you will have to leap;
Our dream of safety has to disappear.
— W.H. Auden- this poem has become my mantra of sorts lately
lunch with the fellas
it was one of those magical days today. for a few minutes at lunch i was graced and flanked by the presence of 4 of our directors- jason,keith,rian,ruben(in alphabetical order). it was pretty amazing cause they all really get along. it’s so inspiring to me to see these huge talents with mutual respect for each other. and i’m stuck making commercials with them. its something i am starting to admit to myself. that i have to do this better than anyone then perhaps i can move into another screen, a bigger screen, a silver screen. i’m so grateful for where i am am but i can’t help but set my sights far off into the future and after all. i did come to hollywood for a reason. advertising was not the intention but it has been quite a scenic detour.
