Happy Anniversary Baby!

Today marks the 10th Anniversary of when I asked the love of my life, Nancy Brown, to be my girlfriend and she made the biggest mistake of her life. It's been a wild, exciting, curious, furious, magical and majestic journey so far.... With Marriage exactly 1 month Away. I couldn't think of anybody better to spend my downtime with. I love Nancy Brown! with all my heart.

Today, 10 years ago, an event happened that shook my foundations. This world that I had built for myself, in my heart and in my head, was shattered and destroyed. Replaced by something unknown. Going from heartache and an everchanging world to something tangible- the beginning of something static. Alls it took was one kiss and a few intimate evenings (no,not sex...) and I was hooked. Our chemistry was rewritten and recoded only to fit with eachother, both figuratively and literally and from that moment you become two parts of a whole. You know you meet the right person when they inspire you do great, meaningful and ambitious things. You know because you can feel it, you feel it because it is real, and it is real because it has always been. I gave my heart out to Nancy Brown in complete vulnerability and she reciprocated by doing the same, since then.......I havent felt alone in the universe, flying through space on a biological earthship. I just want the world to know that. I want people to know that there is a force which violates our natural order......it allows me to deny my genetic programming.... Love. Ive found it, cultivated it and it has grown into something far beyond comprehension and conception...... and thats not even the tip of how I feel...or maybe...just the tip tho wink emoticon

From 2005 til now!

Interesting article about cinematography and movie visuals

"Every Frame a painting"
I'm paraphrasing but I have heard this mantra iterated and reiterated in just about every film class or film study class I have ever taken. Kurosawa did it, Kubrick did it, and Hitchcock DEFINITELY DID IT. Lately I have become a big fan of my Boy Nicolas Winding Refn doing it... but I digress....
I stumbled on a few article pertaining to the subject and if you fancy yourself a film connoisseur like myself, you may enjoy this....although if youre a film buff chances are you already knows about this (cough cough... CITIZEN KAIN, Battle Potemkin.....) either way.... enjoy (I love any mentions of Akira Kurosawa because he is my favorite director of all time son)

1st up...... STANLEY KUBRICK 
(after a brief aside about Akira Kurosawa....)

If you don't know about it him...you should. His films are marvelous and his influence is heavy in american pop culcture..... from A bugs life, to Star Wars, to Eastwood Trilogies, and even a hint of that Ghost Dog http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Kurosawa
