The price is right?

So a friend told me about this lil Mexican bakery that opens at 5am and since I live like a vampire I'm just winding down my day around 6am... So I ride my bike over there this morning and order some Jalapeno/cheese thing and these two little custard things... then I'm about to pay and I see something up on the menu called "Vampiro" ...its like a juice drink....its name seemed in line with what I should drink...so I order it... the woman rings it all up and NO LIE the total was $6.66... she seemed as surprised as I was...

Without saying too much....Really STRANGE things have happened to me all my life hence the monikeR... I've had a number of people ask me to tell them my true stories of the "spooky" variety only to have them ask me to stop a few minutes later ^ ^ I have YET to really tap into this in a film.... I start with HSM... BUT my next film will get into it much deeper...

You cannot have power over a thing if you are subservient too it...if you fear it... so to wield the power of darkness you can't fear it... because then you will oppose it instead of letting it flow through you... I believe as artists we should be conduit's for the light and the dark and all shades in between....ONLY THEN can you paint an accurate depiction of the world you exist in... and only then can you truly connect deeply with people...

Will your happy happy joy joy film connect with some orphaned kid with PTSD from Iraq? With your film with fake darkness resonate with some poor tortured soul was has been a victim of real darkness? Probably not.... Will your sane film speak to the "insane"? Not likely.... when you don't acknowledge these feelings/situations/emotions in your art I believe you are alienating people...making them feel as if there is something wrong with them... when there isn't... art is a mirror and if people can't see themselves in the mirror you create they feel like they are left out in the cold... outsiders looking in...

That's one of the reasons I really like animation... in my new film... the characters are not black or white... their kinda not even human.... but they vary greatly with they realness... so I hope there is a fragment of mirror for everyone... there are definitely fragments with those who tell tales from the darkside....

We all have a darkside... and we all have a little insanity.....if you acknowledge, accept and integrate it... I think you'll be better for it... If you fear it and reject it...it will end up tearing your life apart just like if you let it totally consume you.... Kentaro Miura portrays GUTS darkside in BERSERK quite awesome as this psycho looking rabid dog... its all about balance me sinks... I just can't stand happy happy "feel good" happy ending shit...Or stories and things wrapped up so perfectly....NOT in the FUCKED/LOST/CONFUSED/DESPERATE/DEPRAVED world we live in now... its just...fake art... Its one thing to be true to yourself and its another to be true to the world you live in...

On my way to the bakery I ride past a fancy ballet school attended by rich kids whose parents line up and wait in they fancy cars to whisk they kids from such a REAL place cause on the other side of the street people live on the sidewalk... on the corner d00ds slang rocks... and some raggedy lookin creep rides by with a hoodie... hey that's me! See it all... accept it all...discuss it all... create it all... CONNECT with ALL...... well maybe not all... cause a lot of people fear anything with a lil hella real darkness in it... they will be eaten alive in life by the darkness inside of them.... so why not experience it through a film first? ^ ^

Muahahahahaaaaaaaaa COUGH.... I don't how its possible but HSM is HELLA EVIL and REALLY FUNNY at the same time 0_o Kinda like clowns.... AND actually there is a clown in it AND I think he may cause you to..... DIE.... INSIDE ^ ^Brought to you by professional weirdo M dot Strange.
