I might just discover this weekend whether the talents of the theater business can transmit to the television and/or film craft.  This weekend I’m planning to sit down and meet an individual who developed a script from below the ground when it was less then an idea to it’s frution on the stage. If our styles come together we might just find a way to develop a project that is as lively and fun as the theater but for a whole different audience. Either way at least I’ll discover new talent and enjoy G-D willing a great show.

It’s a record know one else will want to make and I surely don’t want to conquer in this or another lifetime.  For what normally is a 40 minute ride home took over 5 hours.  Gridlock from a dusting of snow that left NYC paralyzed, making you feel that you were living through a zombie apocalypse then an actual running city.  Littered cars and trucks were left abandoned or stuck in weather conditions that their owners should have just left in park.  The evening wasn’t a total waste at least me and my son had the best dinner ever a Dunkin Donuts Grilled Cheese. Hey when you’re living through this record you have to celebrate some how and being able to find food and gas is something worth shouting for joy along with the thousands of others setting their own records of icy hell.

You want me to play a different role when the script stays the same? How am I to be believable as my role as a father who wants their child to be strong suddenly changes to a shrink? Am I that good of an actor that you and the rest of the cast members will accept this sudden change and can I actually believe the role myself? I’ll give it a try but personally I’ve given up trying to change others roles in my life and decided instead to seek a new plot line which has a better outcome.  Maybe it’s time for you to do the same for even the best actor might not help this script move forward.

How many trees have gave their life so I could live? From the life of many a script to creative ideas that give me new hope, how many trees have fallen so I could grow. Sometimes it’s totally not my fault as trees of junk mail are given in my name but other times I just throw them directly in a fireplace or even the garbage. In the end I hope I can say at least most of the trees that died in my name, didn’t die in vain.

FOOTNOTE- The computer has spared many a tree today.

It happened just for a moment yesterday and because it was so short I found it fascinating not terrifying. Business was slow and so was my creative muscle, while at the same time negative feedback was weighing me down enough to allow sadness to enter  This moment left but not without deeper thoughts on what triggered this reaction in me and how I might go down a different path in the future. When my mind is in park it can lead to reverse so I must keep it active and entertained even in silence.  Life might make me move a bit slower as time goes on but I must continue to have my mind racing forward.

I feel like a spy as I ask questions of the opposing side, trying to find the information they don’t even know they are leaking. I’m playing it real cool as my points of “curiousity” might make them believe I’m joining their “team”.  For I want to know if they will be supporting “Hillary Clinton” if she decided to run for President again or was it again? Once that detemination is made either way I’m gauging their excitement or lack thereof if she was going to get the Democratic nomination in 2020.  All while not letting them my dark reason why. It is so dark I can’t actually see why maybe I’m really just curious after all?

It’s just wrong not to count all the votes just because some don’t still have a heartbeat. We need to get out in the street to protest this unjust and cruel act.  Of course we must consider the date of departure when we decide if the deceased vote is legal. For example those that have died within the last election cycle should surely be able to cast their vote with the help of a loved one who could “feel” the way they would have wanted it to go. It’s insensitive and cruel not to give them the right to vote. Come to think maybe we should open the right to our four legged friends as well.

FOOTNOTE- This is not my actual stance but trust after what is going on in Florida recount this won’t be far behind.

I found it! It’s the last of my scripts which I would seriously consider bringing into the light .    It might not get that far but just to have a hard copy close to my hand (printing coming shortly) with my other 6 favorite scripts is awesome!  For several days I thought it was lost in a deep cloud but today sun arose and so did this script.  This script is the most controversial one I’m seriously considering producing and if it does comes out it will probably be my last.  Yet it is so terrifying in a way no other script is that I’m not sure it should stay in the dark.   Either way I’m just happy to have it back home where it belongs.
