Roger Miller is antiquated.


Roger Miller let it be known that you simply can not change film with a kid on your back. Due to magnificent advances in digital technology, this is no longer a problem......unless you have to change your flash card.

Redheads would make horrible slaves













Redheads would have made terrible slaves. How long could one of my people have possibly lasted in a southern cotten field or desert in Egypt? One or two hours at the most before the sunburn and dehydration brought us to our knees. Then comes the whip, on top of the sunburn when you don't have the ability to move your limbs due to said sunburn. After one day I would look like a lepper dressed up like a shedding snake dipped in blood. I recently talked to a doctor about an article I had read saying that redheads feel pain 30% more than other skin tones. He said he had heard the same thing, right before he shoved a very long epidural needle into my spine without any form of anesthetic. 30% more is a lot people, and I doubt it swings the other way where we feel 30% more pleasure than most. I have yet to even bring on the temperment of my kind, we are know for our quick fuses. The lengths of our lives would have been drastically reduced by the speed of our mouths. We have enough trouble working when you pay us well, and place us in an air conditoined office with a nice view.

Feel free to cry over spilt sand.






Trail of Sand, underwater,
spilling down gray rocks
into a deep pool
of cold, blue river water.
Gentle, green moss
catching grains of Earth
for a brief moment,
before letting go
and waving the swirl
of a slow eddy.

Woodscape at dusk


My backyard bear taking a nap.


Fire, the original television


A look through time


Reflect

Illiterate at the show

I wonder what Illiterate people did at the movies before sound, when you had the read the words. I imagine that is why acting was so over the top and not subtle. Still, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, among others, were genius at conveying an emotion.
It is fascinating that body language can be so difficult to control and tells everything of what we are feeling. One reason I love being an actor is that it allows me to try on another form of body language for awhile. I get to examine, for a brief moment in time, what it is like to be someone else, not only convincing others, but quite often myself.
