Rethink the unthinkable
Have you ever been having one of the most enjoyable dreams, you know the one of the ones with the vivid visuals, excellent ambiance and a totally amazing plot and then...

All of a sudden you *magically* wake up?

Well you think to you self dammit I was enjoying that and then you think well maybe I can get back that very same dream if I just quickly go back to sleep.

Let me tell you it rarely works.


Which brings me to the point of this post...

In the words of Fredrich Nietzsche,

"What one ought to Shun is found Attractive"

I have this to be very true. Consider that statement one more time and you will find that it is actually the truth about almost everything in the world. I will not go into all the things that you should shun but you find attractive because I might miss one in my haste and...then I would have all of you permnantly attached to my ass.

It is safe to say that this is one of the truths of the world.

Philosophy has, once again, began to immerse itself in my brain. Through the readings of Nietzsche and Plato, Peck and C.S. Lewis to name a few. I am trying to convince some of Machiavelli 's works to find themselves a place on my bookshelf; however, they have been reluctant to leave the e-shelves of Amazon.com without a transfer of monetary funds to the above mentioned money grabbing corporation. I am also interested in reading The Art of War, purely for the reason that it is quoted so much. I want to know what all the fuss is about.

I have a feeling that I am going to get back into artistic nudes as well. I have a small book of them (Nudes: Indexxi by Lidia Carbonelle) I picked up amazon but I would like to expand my collection- some framed wall art and a collection by this Austrian artist would, really, be awesome. I am especially attracted (maybe the wrong word to use here) to black and white artistic nudes; however partial color saturation is amazing. Some of the pictures are absolutely beautiful, in an extremely non-sexual manner.

So I will finally update everyone, who reads my small contribution to world, about my plans as a filmmaker.

First off- I will probably and *hopefully* not return to CR. I will work for about 6-8 months and then I will depart for the wild blue yonder of film school.

The three schools I am considering are:

#1 Academy of Arts University (in San Francisco)
#2 Brooks Institute of Photography (in Santa Barbara & Venture)
#3 Vancouver Film School (in Canada)

Note: I think it would be really cool to go to NYU; however, I really don't want to live in New York City.

They are in that order for one reason and one reason only to help me choose one. I am really considering at Academy of Arts University.
