"If it were the apocalypse..."

 big news in the desert...started raining this afternoon which is good...I watched some good videos in the last couple of weeks...I do not often describe a movie as "stunning" but I was stunned by this indie movie...I would say it is a "masterpiece" but it is actually a "mistresspiece" since it was made by two women...namely Hannah Leder and Alexandra. Kotcheff...I might as well expose their background...they met in the third grade and were the only two girls ever to be sent out of class for being "trouble makers"..yeah buddy! sounds like my kind of creatives...ms. Leder has family members in the film industry...I don't think ms. Kotchoff does...these women starred in directed and produced the film "The Planters"...they lived-in a trailer in Palm Springs for 5 months and took 127 days to shoot the film...they had no film crew and the camera shots were always stationary...they busted ass to make this film and I consider it to be one of the best I have seen...ever...this film is about two women who have to accept one another for all their "flaws" and idiosyncrasies...and they aint small quirks...there is only one scene of violence which is when Alexandras character tries to commit a triple murder...but decides not to..."If it were the  apocalypse and I could only save one thing, I'd save my shovel."...Martha

"For an ambiguous refusal..."

I watched an almost 4 hour interview with David Choe on Andrew Huberman's podcast...It was pretty adrenaline producing as mr. Choe has some "ISSUES!"...like more issues than the readers digest...he is known for his art work...he was asked to paint the offices "Facebook" before they had much money and he took stock in the company instead of cash...he created a lot of graffiti style art which was pretty controversial...he says he is 10 years sober now but his meds failed him  in this 4 hour "extreme" interview...I disagree with much of the approach to "recovery" when I involves a lot of "human interaction"...more nature and less people is more healing for a troubled mind..."For an ambiguous refusal/ is but a weak acceptance..." Khalil Gibran ... from "Do not love half lovers.." a prose poem
