thursday...the week is almost over...the weeks have been pretty care free over here so far....i guess the cool thing is that I get to start and finish things here and then they take care of themselves...small things albeit but accomplishment nonetheless...anyhow planning to go to SLO this weekend so I'm looking forward to seeing all the peeps...other than that nothing much else has been up...back to the gym so that's good too...a lot of things i have swirling around in my head but nothing worth really putting on the screen...interesting thought when I come to think of it with the whole film thing...i guess kinda how i talk about picking and choosing your battles in life...what are things worth fighting for??..maybe or maybe not...i guess when it comes to film or any art for that matter you find some interesting stuff in the trivial things...but I guess what it represents...like what I said I didn't want to write about...wierd things a co-worker says...trivial yes and doesn't really lead to anything relavant in my mind...driving to work...can be seen as trivial as well but is an extension of something more...I don't know...I guess everything has some relavancy if you want to break it down for enough...I guess the question is if your audience is gonna take it that far or interpret it in the way you meant it to go...I'm a story teller and so I tell stories, they might be about me or someone else but they're my stories to tell and for you to interpret...and maybe tell as your own...do you tell the story with the audience mind...public speakers (comedians, policticians, etc) actively adjust to the audience...writers for live acts take the audience into mind I'm sure...so how about film...seems like it would be a natural thing to consider, but definitely not the first...the first and most difficult thing is the plot or main stroy line...where are you gonna go with this thing...to me the characters are easy because you deal with them or versions of them everyday...I'm not meaning to stereotype people into categories because I am a true believer that everyone is different in all this other stuff..but generalizations are fair to a certain extent...like how people say they remind you of somebody else...maybe it the look but a lot of the time its not..and usually its after they know you for like 5 minutes...just something similar is thousand of pieces used to put together your puzzle...I bet I could remind people of a lot of people if they got to know but then maybe when they got to that point I just like most others would eventually come out as truly being one of a kind...lost in the crowd...just another nameless face...what makes me different...how much time do you have???...and then maybe in the end you just realize in a lot of ways I'm just like you or someone you know...but just different in my own special way...a different shade or maybe a little different texture...what if everybody was some form of the color red....but each different in their own special way...maybe just a thought to push across the thought of how one of a kind each of us is and at the same all cut from a similar thread....life
