Up on the Down

I wake up And feel down. My heart sings While my soul burns And the fire-it feels good… I feel at peace When feeling uneasy I feel at one with myself But isolated from others. Life A strange kind Of dichotomy.

Movies That Move Me Part 3: Don Bluth Special

Don Bluth has to be one of the greatest animators of my time-perhaps of ALL time. Two of my earliest movie experiences were the Land Before Time and An American Tail-both movies he is responsible for. He has done movies, video games, MAYBE a tv special(?)… he is someone who stands with the likes ofContinue reading “Movies That Move Me Part 3: Don Bluth Special”

Movies That Move Me, pt. 2: Robocop

I first watched this movie when I was 8 years old. It had come out four years prior and my family had a Beta tape of the movie. Remember BETAVISION? If you do, take your daily multivitamin with pride, cuz you, like me, are in need of some vitamins… Anyway, the movie revolves around theContinue reading “Movies That Move Me, pt. 2: Robocop”

Movies That Move Me

Part 1: the Last Unicorn I first saw this film when I was in my single digits. I was lost in the throes of Kindergarten and as such had no real grasp of animation per se, but this film stuck with me in the back recesses of my childhood mind.

To be fair, I don’t look like a sexy beast at all. I look more like a tallerContinue reading “Eroticism is beyond my understanding”

My mind is full of soup

My mind is full of soup My will is a noodle, My resolve a pack of crumbled saltines in the mire. Life is hard But creativity harder When life and finances become dire.

My resolution this year is to KEEP MY DEADLINES!!! How am I supposed to be a writer if I can’t deliver aContinue reading “New year…”

Dreams of a God I Only Kind of Believe In

Had two dreams that at least mention or allude to God (as in Yahweh, the Christian god, or as I call him “the Bad Parent”) In the first instance, it was a fleeting mention in a doctor’s orders, which said “make time for god”. Been thinking about that one for weeks now. Never talked aboutContinue reading “Dreams of a God I Only Kind of Believe In”

Life’s busy dance

How much is weighed by fate n’ How much is wasted waitin’ How much time is lost In life’s busy dance? We have our obligations Rushing to each waiting station Too busy to relax, If only we took it easy If we were able, But life is greedy. Too greedy to let us take aContinue reading “Life’s busy dance”
