I never gave much thought to the purpose of a soulmate in my earlier years. Perhaps, I was focusing too much on being at the next place instead of the place where I currently was.
I’ve always been excited about the future. Imagining what will happen and how great things will be. I think this can be attributed to my personality as a “starter.” I believe there are three types of people in life: starters, middle-people and finishers. 
Over the years, I have clearly learned that I am a starter. It goes to explain why I like writing. I love the concept of taking something out of nothing and solidifying it. It explains why I am always interested in who wrote a song or play, rather than the performers who are singing and acting. Also, why when I used to play video games, I would get so frustrated when my character died for the first time.
You see, being a starter has it’s advantages, such as having visions and creativity. But it has cons as well, such as not completing a project to its fullest or getting too comfortable when things are going well.
This is why starters need middle-people and finishers. Vice Versa.

For the past couple of weeks, I have begun to write blogs for Scout’s College Football News website (affectionately known as cfn.com).
If you are an Ole Miss football fan, like SEC football or simply like to hear someone tell it like it is, check out this blog periodically. Here is a link to the what I’ve written:

Peace, and Hotty Toddy!
I realize that I didn’t place the website for the film festival where Mr. Holloway’s Toy Company will be shown:
Crossroads Film Festival 2010
Information on my film and other films at the festival is on this site. Be sure to check it out if you are in the area. You will be the bomb if you do so.
No one uses the ol’ “slip on a banana peel” routine anymore. Used to be that a stunt like that would serve as a pivotal point in a plot.
Same thing can be said for rotten vegetables being thrown at a stage performer. You may see it now, but it used to be a monumental, emotional moment for the character who is on the receiving end of the fruit. 
A performer on stage. Exposing their naked soul for all the world to see, only to have it splattered by running tomato juice.
Come to think of it, how many artists expose their soul these days. Plenty do, but you don’t hear about them as often as you should. Why is that?
Maybe we’ve discovered everything as humans that we can at this point, and are waiting on a new awakening of sorts. But in the meanwhile, it is difficult to open ourselves knowing that we only experience the same results over and over again.
Pain can be numbing after awhile, but so can happiness for that matter. Fruit comes from the earth, maybe that is where the new awakening will come from as well.
Hey, all. Make sure to check out the premiere of the film I wrote/produced last fall, Mr. Holloway’s Toy Company, at the Crossroads Film Festival in Madison, Mississippi. The showing is Friday, April 16th, at 7:00 P.M. 
The film was directed by Amile Wilson and stars BJ Johnston, Libby Mille and yours truly. All of these people are good friends of mine and it was a pleasure working with them.
Here is a link if you want more info on the film:

The film will be shown at Madison, Mississippi’s Malco Theatre.
Support the art of independent filmmaking. That’s my motto.
Peace.
