Where I Draw the Line - An expanded Mission Statement
After ten years of writing against Technology abuse on Geocities it should come as no surprise that I would continue
after expressing my intent to take this little Faux Studio Commercial. Unlike many filmmakers who come to the
industry with hidden or latent agendas, courting success first and promoting their causes later, I've always been
doing this. Since I was 14 years old, I've studied technology and psychological warfare. I see horror in what
Americans choose to ignore and create my own vision in stories. Unfortunately, I didn't come from a family
that supported visions and I was often forced to live in fear and under threat (not always by my family)
if I acted aggressively (because that is what a passion for something does) , creatively and put all my skills into
play in that endeavor. I was a child who put stones in her mouth to teach herself to be an orator (after reading
about Demosthenes). I created a basement art studio in a anal retentive suburban neighborhood. I was ridiculed by both
family and friends for doing what I enjoy reading, writing, making film, drawing with the goal of telling great stories.
I'm against drugs, alcohol, sex (waste of time), practically anything that deters from mental vigor, which is something
that was strengthened by time I spent in a Catholic College, where I seriously learned nothing but perserverance and some
art. I didn't show up to class all the time. I took tests, I received A's sometimes a few, sometimes enough to be on a Dean's list, while I was also teaching at a business school, and travelling, because learning comes ez to me.
Nothing but Perserverance and some art.
Those who have seen my complaints don't think I learned that well, but storytelling is like one big complaint, isn't it?
I mean, who the hell wants to carry that ring thing into a fiery pit?
I try not to watch TV interviews, but recently watched an interview with Nora Ephron, where she talked about
women and aging.
Despite her popular success, I've found her a mediocre writer at best and someone with no intellectual vigor.
Now that's she "aging" she would like to speak representively for other women in her new book, well, damn
the whore. I gather spending so much time in divorces and marriages deferring to the opinion of someone
else of either sex has addled her brain. Some of us have not had that set of experiences and find that
this could become the most intellectually and creatively rewarding, and risk taking, time of our lives.
Unlike Ms. Ephron, if I had ever met a first lady, I would prefer to immediately forget it, sidekicks are
always hard for me to remember.
I don't have a set of normal life experiences to speak from, I have the above normal. As I see it these self-
effacing women who are losing their memory and intellectual vigor in their 50's or too horny to think about
anything but men in their 80's or 40's are feeding the need of corporations and individuals to demean women
and their ability as leaders.
Leadership isn't about doing what has been done before as good as the next or
last guy or gal, but doing what has never been done before like No One else. See you at NOON!
-----------------------------------------
November 2010, for those of you who don't know I spent the last year after the loss
of my mother from cancer in a impaired mental state. I was in shock that so much corruption,
corporate misfeasance, and corrupt individuals would just be ignored for so long, until she was dead.
