Film Casting! Apply now!

So you wanna be a star, huh?

Stephanie Mae Bell* needs applicants!

[location is probably somewhere in the U.S.]:

"
I am needing to fill 75 extra positions for a film.

You will make roughly $100/day and shooting will take aprox. 2 days depending on what happens.

If you have never been an extra make sure you show up on time as doors will be closed on time and you will be turned away if not on time.

You will need to fill out your information and get a portfolio started, it was free but because we are sending this out to so many people and we need to qualify who we work with we will charge a $1.99 fee for the coaching call and for setting up your portfolio on your own site, which we will set up as well.

You will find out more about this shoot and other shoots around town here:

Call me if you have any questions.

Heart of the Old and New

This is a response to warped4lyf-Lara, author of PsychedeLARA. I could have posted this as a comment in one of your entries, but I opted to post this here instead. I didn't want to look for one of your blog entries where I could fit this into, and it's a personal view anyway, plus this is additional blog entry :'p

I thought about your fondness for the old. Not people, but stuff. That also made me into thinking about my fondness for them. I also like some old stuff -- architecture, films, automobiles, planes, furniture... (I also have collections of stamps, cards, comics, even food packaging.) However, I realized that it wasn't just because of the quality of the pieces or my bit of fondness for nostalgia. It's in the integrity of how they were made. It's not actually these things per se, but the process that went into making them that draws me in, and more importantly the people with the skill and heart involved into making these pieces. Or masterpieces.

You know I never wished to be someone else (and I don't know how to answer that "if you could be... who would you want to be?" question) but I have wished, and still do, that I were somewhere or "some-time" else. I have always felt that I do not belong in this time, that it's not ready for me. (Or I'm not "ready" for it.) The things I have seen and the things I believe in are not things that many people I've met would accept or understand. Of course maybe I'm wrong, but meeting people like you makes me think that it's a vision that's not entirely hopeless.

Ever heard of James Gleick with his book Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything? I haven't read it in whole, only excerpts. Check it out.

What about a "resource based economy"? You could start on the pages of The Venus Project. See if it resonates with you.

Have a nice day =')

You're cool. You're weird. And that is good. =')

When I say "NRN"

It's only an abbreviation meaning "no reply/response needed".

So, what do I mean when I say, "NRN"? It simply means that if you're thinking about replying to my message or comment because you think or feel that I may feel bad about you not responding, then you don't have to worry. We're cool ;')

But if you really feel compelled, you're very welcome. We are cool ;')

Sometimes, however, I would very much like to "hear" a response from you. Mostly, I want people to think and analyze, I want them to see what's possible, I want them to be open minded, all without losing ethics and morality, and your response will let me see what you thought about what I said. Or if you thought about it at all.

Thank you ;')

I am a Jedi

Yesterday, on my 29th birth anniversary, I took my oath in the Temple of the Jedi Order to become a real Jedi*.


This is no joke. This is not a mere fanboy or role-playing activity. This is me taking my path towards my destiny.

I am now a Jedi Padawan, a Jedi Apprentice. An apprentice of the Force.+
[+For 6 March 2009]

*In the Order of the Jedi (Canada) though, I became a member on February 14th, to graduate on the same day in 2010. However, unlike in TOTJO, I as yet have taken no oath nor performed a ritual for membership, training or apprenticeship.

Farewell, FrancisM

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti was born on this day in 1475. One of the greatest artists who ever lived. It's also my birth day, but a full celebration seems inappropriate (though I don't really celebrate it).
This morning I woke up with Wowowee on TV, the host Willie Revillame asking everyone for a momentary silence, and a sad news:

Francis Durango Magalona has passed away.


My niece Gelan was here and she pushed the volume of the TV up several times, complaining there was no sound. That was funny. But thinking about it now, I realize that Francis M's creations will resonate through our universe (no, really), I imagine, for countless millennia. The silence will not be absolute, but an emptiness will be felt.

See some of him here:

Man, you know in our high school band, we enjoyed jamming with your songs the most.

Pareng FrancisM, you are now one with the Force ;)

Thank you for all of your gifts.
