Electricity.
Laying in bed I thought about Katrina and what it did to all those people. It made me think about what I'd do if I was stuck there without electricity. Mostly I had the nieve thought what would I do with my freetime, well I'd do what I do now. I'd work on wepages and movies. Then like a cold hand out of a grave a scary thought occurred to me, no I wouldn't.
There would be no electricity. Immediately I flashed back to my fantasies of a few years ago of living in the woods to experience life, and that lead to my present quagmire. What if something happens and life drastically changes. Even Rome fell. What would I have spent my life doing. Now I know this is incredibly fatalistic, but what if.
I would have spent all my time learning and practicing this means of information delivery (web and video) that would immediately be rendered useless. BUT then my story got a nice tight little ending, a happy ending if you will. I thought about my writing. That is something that will always be useful, and in effect both web and video are just sub-elements to writing. I can once again relax and enjoy my life, becuase I know that if they apocalypse came tomorrow I won't have wasted my life. I'll be able to write for the post apocalyptic generation.
This reminds me I had a dream a couple weeks back, during the middle of a film shoot that we had been attacked, it was a nuclear attack. Then this plane crashed and it was in a bay right behind this house that I was staying at. They had jet skis. I ran down to the jet skis so I could go pick up any survivors (this was Pre-Katrina). But the people who lived there were really hesitant. I got mad at them and went anyway, then they followed the plot of the dream strayed after that in the normal muddled unlcear confusing state that dreams so often take. Oh by the way I'm moving to LA. The sooner the better! If I wasn't acting in this movie for the next month I'd be on the road next week.
This movie better be worth it.
