Imprudent Choices Acct.

----

Spin Doctor
Because I feel theres so much on the table right now. So many beats to listen to, so much choice of rhythm and tracks. The sheer experimentation possiblity of mixes, fades and reverbs ...
Each one distinct but harmonising together.
What do I do?
I don't want someone to tell me what to do because I see so many choices, it would make me lose whatever virtual control I may already have on this decision. Its a delight to be taciturn in these matters but alas, alas, alas.

Focus
Its the buzz word for now.
At least I believe it for what I need, so I can find some sort of decent direction, path, journey, destibnation, whatever!

Class in Session
There looks to be a great class at Sentral Market soon. By Instant Cafe, I think. End of May.
Only 12 seats, RM 100 for 2 weekends (Sat & Sun) mornings.
Send in sample writing - learn how to write and develop scripts for theatre, and playwrights.
Shit!
I work Saturdays. I can't commit to it, unless I take 2 days off (both Sat's) which is a damned shame of a bummer coz I'm technically still on probation and I'm already taking 4 days off in May to go to Penang for the ToS "Screwed' production.
Shit, shit shit.

Next
Yea, the movie with Nicholas Cage as a magician who can see the possibilities of the future.
It sounds ... B - gradish.
More and more so, everytime i read or hear about it.
A mish-mash of B styled themes and popular culture thrown together with a dash of current tings and latest fads, stuffed with a boatload of hodge podge of cliches.
Bla bla bla
That about sums up my feelings.
He should do porn ... oh I dont know .... for for fuck's sake I guess.
And yes I made a pun ... :D
And I won tickets.

Warriors of Thespia.
I should probably journal out some progress on things.
But I know I'm bad at it so let's not pretend about it.
La dee la.
I'm reviewing some of my written material (scripts) to see if any of it is good enough to be re-written or adapted or just tuned up for a 20 - 30 minute piece. What kind of development cana ut use ot need in that span of time?
If nothing else, what needs to be told. Or I'll just wink about and find something to drive the play further. Its about the story, the performance, the piece, about everything in the end. But winding down to one simple note.
It has to begin and end there.

Wordy Gurdy
I like the word 'delegate'.
Its just unfortunate I dont get to do that much.

Prose
We'll go to the dreaming
In a state caught, in the nets of asleep and awake
We'll see the mother eye of the moon,
And her father's burnished copper coin, on the shoreline.
Craggy grumpy jagged shadows
Old mama's wrinkles crinkling in tune and time.

We'll go to the nation
Svelte lips of the mountains, laced with seeds
Badges of honor worn by thrushes,
Red with pride, purple of exhaustion.
We see,
We know the mother's pride,
her winking knowing eye to old mama.
Women secrets, they mirth and cackle
The father stoic, determined and boldly drawn still.

We'll go to the dreaming
Black flavour of poppies, sparkle dark on snow
You see me, wandering the silver moon,
Holding womentalk to my bosom close
Naked, 'cept the words written on skin.

It boils down to juggling time and priorities, dunnit? To be able to do all we want? I'm been pretty lousy at it of late myself, and I'm probably gonna have to give up one thing or another temporarily, till I've less stuff on my plate.

So I get what you mean, bro. To want all the world but...

Kenny M,
Hmm, calling you Kenny M, sounds like calling BOnnie M.
Oh well - I can't juggle. No seriously, I can't. Never been good at it. yes ... must give up .. hurts like a bitch, but its saves a lot of heartache and sleep in the latter days.
((hugs)) let's share hugs!

Rav'n
Uh huh .... nick cage movies, it .... its makes it so much that he has the Cage touch: everything he's in turns into a B-grade no matter how hi caliber the budget or co stars.
Kinda like The Travolta Incidental.

Hah! Screw juggling. Let's all be single-taskers and be happy being that.

Multi-taskers unnerve me. They're just so... unnatural. Or mommies.
