right back into laziness

 And again I have fallen off with my writing…

To be fair, it’s been a big week and there never seems to be enough hours in the day.  I want to to break down my weekend from last week but will need to put a few “filler episodes” in between, the great thing is that I am off to watch ‘SINNERS’ again today with a connection I made over the weekend, and we know Coogler get my creative energy fired up.

I will be directing people here in the coming weeks a bit more frequently I feel i need to buffer out the posts so my big winge and cry about my trauma will be buried here amongst the fluff…hahahah just like in real life! 

Back at mahi next week too so am going to have to really going to have to get my shit together.  An early morning jaunt to the West End markets is probably going to make me feel something about gentrification especially added to the pain of losing our beloved Bearded Lady this week, so no doubt, I’ll be back at it later.

Until then

SINNERS - a review

There are classic movies for every generation and then there are classic movies for every genre. SINNERS is a movie that is both a genre and generational masterpiece, bringing to back to the screen the art of intertwining the horror story, with period accuracy. Coogler has crafted a classic Vampire film that encompasses the lore with folk tales that are cross cultural and used the painful history of the south, as well as music, as characters to carry the story along. The tale of twin brothers, excellently portrayed by Michael B. Jordan, returning to their hometown in the Mississippi Delta to forge a life of success with the help of their cousin Sammy’s talent.    Jordan’s performance of twins, Smoke and Stack,    is something to be revered as the subtle differences twins have has been brilliantly emulated on screen.   Now I also have to take a moment to praise Miles Caton* for his phenomenal performance of Sammy. The innocence of his desire but strength of ...

Happy Birthday Dad

 Tomorrow is my Fathers 67th birthday, I’m writing today because I may not get a chance tomorrow and it’s important for me to take a moment to celebrate my Dad.  About 8 years ago my Dad had a heart attack, he was clinically dead for 20 minutes and boy, was he pissed off that he had been brought back.  Dad claims he saw nothing on the other side, but my Aunt and I wonder if the reason he was so mad about it is that he did.  It was pretty scary and to see the parent, who was always seemingly more healthy, get struck by something potentially fatal, was hard.  I was in a weird mental space when it happened but managed to get my shit together (with the help of whanau) and get back to my home country.  I was home for 9months, I had to help convince him to pack up and sell our family home and he had to convince me not to stay. Growing up, our relationship was pretty solid, we had a couple bad patches but thats pretty normal.  My parents didn’t seperate till ...

And another wasted week

 I did not end up back at the movies, bummer cause i would have loved it for my creative flow, but walking around the markets with what felt like thousands of people, was draining.  Good and great to be out in the sun with other humans, but so draining.   This writing thing has fallen so far off for me, I am so disappointed in myself and also in my restraint in writing out of fear who will see.  Which is the opposite of why I started this in the first place.  And going between wanting to express myself fully to the extent I can and being so concerned with how my expression affects others is adding to the disappointment.  Funniest thing is that it is all for nothing, I haven’t directed anyone here since my 1st post and thats the only time anyone has read anything, its almost embarrassing and even writing this now, I feel like the self deprecating tone is more so.  Seriously why am I like this? Through all this time off mahi, I have done nothing of ...
