And I'm still healing. [Sep. 29th, 2011|08:55 pm]
Everybody loves you
But you're so alone
Everybody knows your name
But you can't find your way home
No one really knows you
I'm the only one.

Getaway [Sep. 13th, 2011|11:03 pm]
I'm going way down south... tonight...
Well I'll just close my eyes and everything's all right...
And though I'm really far away,
I'll make my getaway...
No one need really know that I've been gone...
One more time, for the good times,
That far outweigh the bad...

My Long Island earthquake experience [Aug. 25th, 2011|12:11 am]







Yesterday, i was sitting at my desk,
working, looking stuff up in a tax map book, using my mouse, looking at the computer screen
and I felt a wave.
hmm. wind blowing the building? no. too strong.
explosion? no. it keeps rolling.
wave
wave
say something?
is this really something?
wave WAVE
I BOLT UP.
I bolt out of my office into the corridor toward the secretary's cubicle:
"DOTTIE. ARE YOU FEELING THIS."
Dottie is not there.
John, from next office to me, appears.
I say "This is an earthquake."
The floor was moving.
The floor was moving in waves.
I could hear the building creaking.
John and I stood there frozen, staring at each other.
I dont know how I was so sure, but I knew it had to be an earthquake.
I had never experienced one.
And then I saw Andrew, who is 3 offices down, and Andy, 4 offices down, had come out of their offices too.
Andy was holding onto this door frame.
And one of us said "We gotta get out of here" and right then we all moved very rapidly for the door.
And I galloped down those 4 flights.
And all I was thinking was Don't Fall. Don't Fall.
And the building fire alarm went off just as I was exiting the building
People were looking up at the building.
We stood outside for an hour before they let us back in.



It was scary, but I am really glad I experienced it, and that there was no damage.

I will get there. [Jun. 15th, 2011|12:42 am]
Don't cry
Everything's gonna be all right
It may seem unfair
It seems unfair to me
But I still need more time
And I will get there.
This is much too important
Too important to my heart
Too important to my life
To take lightly
To rush quickly.
Questions unanswered
Things that make no sense
These things need to fade
They need to not matter
They need to work themselves out
Inside my mind
My mind it has its own way
And it feels things so deeply
And it needs its time.

Some progress. [May. 31st, 2011|11:59 pm]
You broke my heart...
I used to love you
See the light inside you
I used to dream that
You were an angel...

I used to love you so much...

Silence [Apr. 21st, 2011|11:33 pm]
And I miss you now
I have so many questions
About love
And about pain
About strained relationships...

[Tags|, ]

In 2010, bonuses for Wall Street workers
(not just brokers, executives, CEOs, but workers. That means everyone working on Wall Street)

averaged....



$128,530 per worker.

And they want to take away
public employees' rights to collective bargaining.

Third and final movie of my Aug 2010 Canadian Rockies trip. [Feb. 22nd, 2011|07:38 pm]
[Tags|, ]

 I said I would make three movies of my trip to the Canadian Rockies in August...
The third one got started, but I couldn't quite make it work.
And it kept nagging at me...
"Finish meeeee" it kept saying.
I had a free day yesterday and I finally finished it.

It is made up of photos and video from the trip that I really liked, but that weren't featured in the two other movies. I think it's some of the most stunning photos of the trip.

Last month, Travis and I went to Rockefeller Center in NYC. We did a tour of the NBC Studios, and walked all around..
I was inspired to create my own version of the intro to the TV show 30Rock, and here it is:

A little movie I made. [Feb. 16th, 2011|03:02 pm]
[Tags|, , ]

After my brother broke his arm and his leg, and was in the hospital for two weeks,
he came to my house to recover for a week.

We watched "What Ever Happened To Baby Jane"
and had some fun making some Blanche / Jane scenes of our own.
 
We planned on doing more scenes,
but then he returned to his home
and we never got around to making more scenes.
So I used what footage I had, and had fun adding music.
