My weekend trip


Well even though the weather didn't pan out we still had a good time. The weather forced the gathering indoors on Sunday but it even made people even more compelled to dance even harder. The pow wow gathering brought out more than two hundred dancers this weekend and it was a site to see. I was not one of them as I could have kicked myself for forgetting one major piece of my dance gear that is crucial for dancing, my belt. I wasn't too sad because the wet weather sort of made it possible to not missed it terribly. The good news is that this coming weekend is another gathering where I will get to dance and enjoy the weekend with friends and family. So far the clouds still looms over the city today with a hope that it will dissipate by the coming weekend, friends and family are plenty when it comes to hosting an event in the city where visitors come from all over to join in the weekend pow wow. On a lesser note, "tired" is not even close to describing what we feel from our travels this past weekend, I'm a bit drowsy from all the road traveling I've done in the past week. I'm pretty close to saying that by the time of next spring, I'll be ready to start traveling by jet...and anywhere will not even be close to say where I'd want to go. So far this summer is turning out to be a good one for me, only two more months before I head back to class and after two months on break so far, I'm ready to head back. So that's my tidbit of news in my life thus far, stay tuned!

Writing again


I somehow can't get it out of my blood to write something, sometime, somewhere, somehow. I think it's an activity that I do on a daily basis, almost. It's weird. And when I'm not writing, I'm reading, something somewhere. I swear it must be something I'm proned to do. What's weird about it, is that, when I was younger I hated reading. Seriously, I never read one book when I was growing up, except Cat People. It was the only and first book I had read from start to finish. Because I loved the movie. Incidentally, if I ever write a major script, I'd re-write that one. Something about it, moves me. Maybe it's the animal instinct stuff, I don't know. Then, another that I would do a sequel for is The Crow, I would love a chance to write a sequel. Someday. I know that they tried to make it a television show and I don't think it worked. That's because some movies cannot be turned into tv shows, they just can't. They are meant for the big screen, and they should remain that way. Just like Twilight, if they ever tried to turn that into a tv show, it would lose its' value. Now to make a sequel to the Crow, it would have to be an exceptional script and cast to pull it off, I'd say. So anyone who has the idea of it, can mull it over. Like me. But Cat People, now that is one story you can re-touch and modernize. It's sexy and wild. But that's me! Right now I'm working on a script, it's sort of a love story, but more about a person who faces themselves and finds who they really are--through love. I still am thinking the acts through but hope to finish before next spring. Wish me luck! Right now, I'm in the middle of so much things and I write when I can think clearly enough, or read. Mostly I'm planning, there's so much up ahead of me. So I'm sort of researching and evaluating myself for the road ahead. This will be a huge step for me, and I need to know who I am thoroughly before heading out in the world of media and film. Of course, not to mention, I'm getting psyched up for 3rd semester, which will have me in whirlwind of work.... so a colleague tells me. I'm looking forward to it, in a weird way I love hard work and the rush of it all. I love the challenge, and this will be a challenge. This fall I head back into the Final Cut lab to work, there will be no Avid this fall. I'm happy. I guess I'm trying to slow down all the writing for now, because I may be hit hard in the fall with tons of assignments. Who knows? Anyways, I'm rambling. But thanks for the eyes and ears!
