Note to self

Life long learning is something to be maintained. A open mind and heart can help. Positive actions, kindness, prayer, love and meditation can be key elements within this world.

Inside/Outside

It's a battle between what I wish and How it is...It's confusing between What I want and What I need...It grows unclear between that which is desired...and that which should be done...Time grows unclear between past present,now,and past future....all the temptations of retreat grow stronger,as the drumbeat reminds you forward....maybe everything does grow then go away-?-

The D Is Silent !

Saw Quinton Tarentino's Django Unchained yesterday. His delivery is consistent. I liked how I "fell" into the movie and started to believe the characters as they "were"...that had me forgetting their other roles within other films. The compositions within the frame were well arranged. The music was effective. The whole experience was a lot of fun. Large crowds were at the "big conglomerated multiplex'-"the audience was into the movie-even had a few {of my ol favorite }screen talkers. It seems lots of upcoming films from the trailers have very similar Scary Movie Part 1 Billion story lines. I also noticed that many movies are relying on 3-D,special effects, and various other techniques. Could it be true that many Holiday movies attempt to reach the audience that  doesn't want to talk to their own relatives and friends so it is a diversion to go to the movies? I thought the experience was fun!

Music Box

Sang and watched 2 movies at the movie house that kind of opperates as a art temple for film. Very holiday theme to the max = a lot of fun. I like the open audience participation. Spending good time with great people always feels good. A coffee house named Bad Ass Coffee was a treat as well ! Long live Art!

Flight

Saw the flick at the loveable Vic's Brew & View...spent some laughs at Toons on Southport with some friends-I'd hope everyone could have as much fun with their friends!!

As I type this-YESTERDAY !

Yesturday in my travels I came across some art gallery moments. Aron Packer is still going strong. He recognized me after not regularly seeing one another from years back. We had a real good little conversation about how are lives have changed and it felt good to go down memory lane a bit. I hope to visit many upcoming art openings at the gallery. The conversations continued into music and the banjo-I come home and talk some more banjo with the great Mr. Anchovie at 27th street over the phone. Chicago's Documentia and other galleries have some more work up for dreaming over and purchase. This and many other adventures happened yesturday as I type this!

A different soul who happens to go by the name of "Freed" played a couple of songs yesterday and introduced me to others in his world/from his world-what a experience!!

From infront of 4 sale 4 lease

Yesterday another artist and his friend purchased a painting of mine-while looking at another painting he said ahh a self portrait-I said yes-he said sometimes it takes a artist to see a artist-...MAYBE-the painting is added on with symbolic distortions.?!

Others

I've met some great people recently. YAMS is a cool artist who even taught me about some artwork and artists that I didn't know about. Illavision's "Bazooka Joe" took some great photos and the world could be a better place when he finishes that photo creative documentary that he has ideas for.
