I love this entry! I hope 2008 is going well for you so far…my personal slogan for the year is “be positive”

Yeah, at Fred Meyers the other day I overheard a manager tell stockers with huge swirling eyes, “You should see how many boxes of cherries – just cherries – we have in the back. There’s hundreds. I’m serious.”
Ugh?! Valentine’s Day is one of the few holidays I celebrate. It’s not that bad!

As someone who is painfully attempting to secure funding for my next documentary, it was inspiring that a ‘successful’ (in my opinion, at least) filmmaker was having the general trouble of getting rejected in apps and in festivals (I went 0 for 10 this year in that category as well…*sigh*).
I hate for your problems to buoy me out of a funk, but they did. I own a copy of your shorts collection and I’m sure that quality work in the vein of this stuff is quickly coming soon.
All the best,
Jordan

Well, let’s face it, New Years is really just another point on a seemingly infinite continuum. A continuum that goes by us at a speed that is impossible to measure. Like a clothes line that runs off in two directions – one stretches out behind us and the other in front of us – upon which we hang the laundry of our lives. It’s a date and nothing more that allows for beginnigs and endings. It’s a day to perform artificial respiration on your soul – out with the bad air, in with the good. Choose any date that suits you and make that your point for new beginnings, your new year. But what ever date you choose, celebrate it with abandon.

I spent New Years on a cold wet rock across the street from the big “Gaycation” party (wait, no, HUGE “Gaycation” party), ogling some of the largest women I’ve ever seen with full beards and gold lame swim bottoms, gyrating. Oh, and I spent it with a total stranger. Oh, and not making out. We just remarked casually at this and that, and then got cold. Pretty rad, huh!? Aren’t you jealous?
Had I known, I would have texted you a kiss on time. You’ll just have to settle for being my Valentine.
