my freelance dream...

I am trying to get back into the writing for the information process. If my world was completely as planned I would be writing for a magazine or on-line information outlet of some sort. I have done my part and have received the pay-check for writing, life sort of got in the way. I have kicked life in the stomach and said "we have but a short time on this planet" so go fuck yourself. All that being said and done, I need to start being serious about all of this so here I go.

occupying

I love the idea of people running around stating their case and generally making a ripple in the ocean that is corrupt politics. I also think that in order for us to be heard we need to decide on the things that matter most, come up with say 3 to 5 (at the most) demands that would make the world better for everyone. I know that sounds like I'm trying to exclude people but I'm not really, in order to get a foot in the door you got to have a good sales pitch. Once you are in the door you can ad any number of things to the point you are trying to get across. I don't know maybe I'm being silly and not thinking of the big anarchist mantra of "destroy then rebuild" but I have always said show me a revolutionary coup, I'll show you the dictator that followed. I hope that this amazing world wide showing of support and tenacity will lead to some change in the sad world we live in. I really hope so. I also hope that we can live in a real democracy not the one we live in now where there is truth and happiness for those that have, and ridicule and desperation for those who have not. Somewhere and somehow their has to be a livable medium for everyone so that the bit about the pursuit of happiness becomes obtainable to us all.

Why oh why..

Does it need to be like this! I watched a really good movie today though... Harmful Insect, Japanese made in 2001 directed by Akihiko Shiota starring a very young and cute Aoi Miyazaki. I have been waiting to see this movie for years and wasn't disappointed in the least. I love the ability of Japanese movies to show us that being young is not at all the same as it was when someone my age was. It's hard now, I wouldn't go back for any reason. It's all about a 13 year old girl and basically the horrible things that happen to her. I admit to being a softy, so I will admit to crying. This isn't going to be the run of the mill review, I don't want to give anything away. That is how I went into watching it, knew I had wanted to see it 10 years ago and being able to today was the highlight, that and the little bit of rain we got. Ok, not much time before bed but now that I have my google account off of lock down I'll be here more. toodles.
