Lights Camera Action - What Type of Movie Would Your Life Be ?

Hey ...Life is like a movie sometimes. I know mine is. It just depends on your perspective ...what will my life be today. Action , Drama, Romantic Comedy, Horror or all the above. My life lately has been a combo of Theatre of the Absurd and Cinema Verite.

I really wouldn't want it any other way. Life to short to make bad cinema. So put on your directors hats. Write that great script that will be your movie which is your life ...and yell action on the that adventure to tell the grandkids.


The last couple of days ...have been kinda slow but productive. I have been doing a little consulting for two events coming up. One a Art show / Breast Cancer Fundraiser two a socialmedia unconference - who main the thesis topic is Media Democracy...heady stuff oh I love it.

I am off to assist some colleagues on a video shoot tonight which should be a blast.

Speaking of Movies...Saw Inglorious Basterds ...a nice reinvention on a tire old topic. Not your typical WWII movie ...not your typical Taratino Movie also
