After Party

Christopher Nolan’s first Oscar win in eight nominations felt like every cinephile’s dream come true. Chills all around. What a night! If you desire more Oscar coverage head over to one of my movie friends’ sites (here is one) I have other thoughts on my mind this morning.

Humility is a virtue I certainly possess, but have not been required to exercise in quite some time (for I have experienced so few victories in recent years).

In 2023, when I wasn’t hustling my ass across every goddamned lawn, staircase and stepladder in half the city, I was lying on the floor in agony. My skinny ass lost 40 lbs. Corporate America beat the shit out of me. Excuse my french. Is still beating the shit out of me, of course. And I know it is many of you too, for I see less of you here, your place of passion. Or too much of you, alternatively. I go back and forth, as I continue having the living shit beat out of me by overachievers.

My heart was in such dire condition last year that at one point I could not drive or walk. Still am unable to run or participate in any vigorous exercise. Hence, the lack of testosterone lately (in part). Slow Tai Chi has been a godsend.

I say all this as contrast, to highlight these last few weeks of creative blogging. What a bright spot. What a revolution! It all started with a 3 day vacation to Hogwarts (Orlando) with my family back in January. A Christmas gift from my father. I followed this positive experience up with a headlong journey into Tai Chi (practicing daily) And friends I must say, it is working. As I correct the posture, as I coordinate the breath with the slow flowing martial arts movements, my heart is definitely improving.

Back in December I made a wish for a new creative fire. That wish came true. Since the new year Experience Film has gone from subzero to being hotter than a shooting star fired from a canon in hell. Authenticity, creativity, engagement – all through the blazing roof as my heart chakra opens up… All the while knowing in the back of my mind.. (fate music) the great comedown approaches. Dun Dun Dun.

And here we are cascading down the mountain. I’ve been up all night and my brain feels like a wrung-out sponge. I have waged a prolific attack this brief Emily chapter. I am now vulnerable as a result. I am out of balance. I know it. As a libra this simply will not due. Therefore, I envision the remainder of this month to be a bit slower here at Experience Film as I catch up on real life, as I prepare for the counterattack (Just waiting for that dreaded alarm bell to sound). Hopefully not too much change. Though, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

Emphasis on Hope.

Thanks for reading🙏🏼 and have a great week.
