Futher proof I have no life is that I am actually enjoying writing these odd pieces of my mind. I guess when I burn out this will be a record of my time here.

Morbid, yes. I have been doing too much stuff. keeps my mind off of things. at least that is the theory. Got some news today. It is something I have been hoping for. I thought it was coming from one direction and it is really coming from another. I know I am vague, but soon I will reveal it. It's like when you when want some particular thing so bad and you don't get that. but you get something better. Maybe that is what is happening on the other side of my life as well. Still, I am too cynical to think that.

I read something I had wrote years ago and it was hard hitting and made me think wow, how did I think that up.

Still this coming Monday should be a good day and next Monday even better.

I have more letters to send out. There is something to be said for sending out letters.

I seem to have started a huge thing with Indie Cleveland. Came up with some more ideals on things to do for the group that will occupy my time, but be good for the community and get me some exposure. People appreciate it and I think I could use the "karma."

I can't really complain. After all, I did choose to start all these things. And for right now, I seem to be holding up. I do occasionally take a day where I do nothing, but sleep all day long. I think some of my tension is not lied up in movies, but elsewhere. Need to at least get some anchor in life and calm down a bit. Still, I have been juggling a ton of things all my life, so I am not sure if I know any other way to be.

I think and want to believe it is worth it. Anyway, too late to think straight...

Missed seeing Red. I think she was waiting outdoors for me and I was in at the coffee place, then she probably came when I dropped off the tape of "The Hot Rain" to Neal. Got to really quit scheduling two things around the same time. Anyhow, I talked to her, so I will probably see her in a week. Got to get ready for the PILOT. It is a pilot for a Talk show TV show to be shot at the Museum of Contempary Arts. I talked the guy and he wants me to come on an audition. It was supposed to be tonight, but I told them I could do March 6th. "What's your Act?" He asked. I said, "A little poetry, a little comedy and humiliting myself in front of people to get exposure." He laughed. It was funny, but I was serious. But a laugh is good, so I decided I could perform a one act play i wrote, but never performed. it will be highly controversal and get me noticed. It is called "The M.A.N." And I can't say what the acronym stands for, but it should be wild.

Did the Last indie Cleveland networking meeting last night. Wow. Tired now. More on that after I answer my e-mail. Yet, it won't be the last IC meeting. next, we will hold EVENTS which will showcase talent here and give people a chance to see who is doing what and interact with them. Probably start around April 15 (Tax Time).

Anyhow, it was a nice meeting and I seemed really presidential there, as much as I didn't want to be. But everyone appreciated the meeting and Indie Cleveland's goal of making Cleveland a movie community. Which is good.

Beyond that, I am sending out letters for "Out of Darkness" to get some sponsors for that and also get some attention everywhere I can. Passed out biz cards at the meeting with the Dark pitch on them and plan to pass out more at the Pilot taping. it will be interesting to see what kind of talent is there.

Got to answer e-mail. Got one from someone who I might want to get to know better. Of course I'd be safer just sticking to movies, but where's the fun in that?
