The “Killers” might just be meant to live a short but powerful life. For as I try to expand on their life by adding new pages I found this gun drawing blanks. I guess in a sense sometimes the most powerful moments have nothing worthy adding to them. It might be sad but the “Killers” have such a powerful beginning and end that this “short” might just have to stay that way.
FOOTNOTE- Of course new powerful minds in the industry can find ways to extend such a life.
Too many times films follow a formula that becomes so routine it’s boring yet I Tonya shows us a whole new mix instead. This film has a few slices of what a documentary film feels like but adds the entertainment element in every scene as well. It tells the story of Tonya Harding in ways that only a good film-maker can take you. Giving you the full view you probably couldn’t get anywhere else. With a soundtrack that keeps the hits coming and coming maybe a bit too much. I Tonya what film-making should be “interesting” and “entertaining” not routine and boring.
**** 2017 should have won best movie of the year or at least got the Silver.
After the Michael Cohen disclosures many in the public will wonder who can they really trust with their personal secrets with a CERTIFIED CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENT 007 that trust will be restored. This agreement will be reviewed by an independent associate who will have random verification to make sure notes and tapes are disposed of or put in a 3rd party collection that can’t be removed by anyone else. These certificates will be promptly displayed in the offices of lawyers, mental health professionals, doctors and clergy who pass this evaluation. If a violation occurs there will be harsh and immediate punishment for those that are guilty. CERTIFIED CONFIDENTIAL AGREEMENT 007 because it’s time that trust be restored.
Whether it’s directing a film or a work production the key is to cover all your angles. In other words to see the picture you’re working on from the different direction everyone might be coming to the screen on. It could be focusing on the shiny object in the room everyone is looking at even if not’s meant to be that shiny or just giving the shot more depth so it’s enjoyable for everyone to view. You have to keep the viewer interested and looking in one direction looses them to walk in another. Once you’re able to achieve this goal the picture and/or project will move much quicker and give you more options to continue to move to the next scene/project.
Whatever you’re doing make some time to write. If you’re angry take it out on the paper. When that creativity muscle starts pumping give your fingers the exercise they deserve as well. For those in love why keep it to yourself and when you’re in hate let your fingers do the damage rather then your hands. Boredom is cured when your mind is exploring the content that your fingers put out. Just write because you’re thoughts need to be told to the world or at least yourself.
I’m “learning” how to be a really good person through my study of “Mussar” and I wonder if I have to exchange parts if not my whole “real person”. For some of the conditions appear to be written in a different book then the one I hold in my own brain and bones. Yes, I can become more patient but it will never fully be a virtue in my life. It’s important to respect those with greater experience and knowledge yet I can’t close the rebel chapter that has me sometimes playing to a different Harmonica. One might have to accept the difficulties in life with a smile but that doesn’t mean it won’t be for the fight against it. G-D willing trying is what is truly sought and being a good person really entails the book that is written in you rather then one that has chapters I can barely read.
When you go to some people’s houses they put out the red carpet while others tell you to walk through the stones. Of course when someone over stays their welcome those lights shining on it will start to pop but who wants to feel that you’re exhausting your host from the initial walk. I’m living in such a dichotomy this weekend where one is a trip to the warm soothing beach while the other has sharks swimming along the shore. The problem is I initially came to swim with the sharks. I just hope that stay won’t leave any bite marks.
I need more dog in my life. The love of life they express in a simple walk or throwing a ball should be something adopted in my own schedule. It’s not that I want to go up and lick others faces but it would probably be good to show others that I’m happy to see them by a bigger smile. What a great feeling it would be to feel natural being myself in my bare clothes figuratively not literally. Yes having more dog in my life would be great of course food choices, things I do with a newspaper and smells would still be on the 2 legged scale.
When I was a young man my counselor tried to persuade me to go on a comedy tour with him where I would be the butt of all his jokes but I didn’t want to be sat on all the time. Yet today I look at it a bit differently. For if someone isn’t looking in that direction and just see’s the happiness with which they bring to others by those antics as well as the jokes have a finality then maybe it’s not so bad. It’s not that I’m ready to fall down but if I do I can lift myself straight up to fall again. I guess it depends on how much confidence one achieves in their life as to whether they can laugh at themselves or just laugh at others.
The secret sauce businesses should put on all their transactions is “social”. For no matter what the business the client should feel that not only did they find a transaction but a friend or at least social aquaintance. When there is more then dollars exchanged a transaction becomes a relationship that grows in trust, support and dare I say fun over time. It can be that joke that builds over-time, the respect that a client receives no where else, a bit more extra time to think things through then is normally accepted, that extra care taken to make sure your client is happy or a combination of them all. So keep this secret social and pass it on to all the business transactions for making and spending $$ should be less painful and more fun in one’s life .
