Death to Winter. 

great job on this @kleemorgan. #YoureABadass

"Softminded individuals are prone to embrace all kinds of superstitions. Their minds are constantly invaded by irrational fears, which range from fear of Friday the thirteenth to fear of a black cat crossing one’s path. As the elevator made its upward climb in one of the large hotels of New York City, I noticed for the first time that there was no thirteenth floor-floor fourteen followed floor twelve. On inquiring from the elevator operator the reason for this ommision, he said, ‘This practice is followed by most large hotels because of the fear of numerous people to stay on a thirteenth floor.’ Then he added, ‘The real foolishness of the fear is to be found in the fact that the fourteenth floor is actually the thirteenth.’ Such fears leave the soft mind haggard by day and haunted by night."

…not given us a Spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of sound mind.

Everything’s gonna be OK

Brag on yourself. Name 11 things you did in ‘11 that you’re proud of.

no…. When “fill in the blank lists” and 2,000 people have “rebloged” the same thing… I get morning sickness. Please don’t try and be original. 

Just be original and maybe say something worth hearing. 

Sincerely, 

I need another cup of coffee.

from 2011: part one.

Arizona doesn’t have winter. so I’ll start in January…

Spring was legit. I worked at the Arizona Science Center every weekend for the Body Worlds and the brain exhibit. I thought I new something about the human body until I worked there, but the elegance of the plastination process was humbling to say the least. Those 5 months were a riot of old ladies hilarious comments on the male….. form and small children constantly making their ever so hesitant parents blush. Each group got to see the same things, but each person was so different. I had people tell my boss I was rude for making them wait in a line; then I had people graciously go wait in line for me so I could get sold out Lady Gaga tickets while I was working. (shout out to the #GagaGayDennysAZCrew …. ok that tag doesn’t exist but that was the show of the year for me.) 

Then when the ASC let me go, I started over again. Clean slate. Not exactly. I had already been seeking new clients for what was then Social Net MGMT and coming up short handed in Phoenix. So May was there, it was my 22nd birthday and what did I do?

I went to a coffee shop, sat down with a moleskine and got to work. 

When I left Grand Rapids a year before I had no idea where God would take me or if I would be able to make any money in Phoenix. But somehow I did.

When I sat down at Cartel that afternoon I came back to the designs I’d made a year before. I came back to the dreams and plans we had then. But I wasn’t in Grand Rapids anymore. I was in Phoenix. 

Where I am now old enough to go “clubbing”. Unfortunately. 

How was I ever going to care enough about anything in the dead heat of May in Phoenix? I didn’t. So I just asked friends to start filming things and came up with Pheatures.

Creating is the first thing I run to a time of recent unemployment. And I know now not to do all the happy talk in the interview and give false hope to the people answering the questions. 

Pheatures went through a lot of changes from May to November but what hasn’t changed is our focus. 

Elegant Films. 

I’m proud of my friends who have worked so freaking hard to make those films happen. To make every bit of them amazing. And for letting me phuck up so much of it. I would never have been able to be a Los-Angeles-film-producer-diva with out Ashlee and Kristine. Thank you ladies from the bottom of my heart. 

Now that the tears are flowing….

stop that immediately…. 

. ok. I’ll have to finish this another time…. it’s 730am. Tune in next time for Summer and Fall.
