Self Taught Mistakes

We all know that everyone of us makes mistakes, we are supposed to, it reminds us that we are human. Through out life, when we make a mistake, we are supposed to learn something from it. Mistakes teach us something, somehow and remind us, there is no such thing as a perfect person or a perfect world. This post is longer than any of my others, because I made a mistake and I want to share it with my readers. If one person can read this and learn from my mistake, then I guess something positive came from this. As I have pursued my passion, for screenwriting over the past year, I made a few mistakes. You see, writing a screenplay was one of things, that I had always wanted to do and never committed myself to actually doing it. I never doubted my writing ability or doubted myself that I couldn't do it. I was just being a lazy writer. When I finally told myself, it is now or never and found the motivation and time to write, I did it. For six months I was married to a screenplay, o...

True Love and Marriage

Summer time makes me think about romance and love, or true love. Is it the sunshine that makes us fall in love or the beautiful Summer nights? The real question is will love last or is it real love? I think that the word love, gets misused and under used in many ways. Most people say it and don't mean it, or they can't say it at all. First comes love, then comes marriage, right? At least that is the way it supposed to work, just not for all of us. Relationships take time and you have to be willing to invest the time, into a relationship.

I decided to ask a few people I know, that have been married for a long period of time, what has kept them married. The answers that I have received are actually kind of amusing. I started with my uncle, he and his wife just celebrated their 42nd wedding annive...

Bad Endings

This past week, as I was brainstorming what to write for this blog post, certain things happened, to get me thinking about endings. Everyone knows everything in life has an ending, a book, a movie, relationships, friendships and life. For the most part, nobody really knows how something will end. When a writer writes, we may predict that we know how our ending will go at the beginning. Then the story line may take us in another direction, because the plot thickens. When we get to the end, it may be something we never expected, whether it's good or bad. Bad endings suck and nobody likes a bad ending, but they happen. We live and experience an ending to something everyday, in someway, somehow. If someone gets on an airplane and it crashes, that's an ending that nobody wanted, it's bad, but it happens. If we read a book and we want the characters to do something different, than what the writer wrote, it's still an ending. Watching a movie and seeing a hero die off, ...
