Y'd
Wide range o' s%$#! that I wanna do- blah blah blah- Was really getting into fiddling with video couple of years ago- haven't much touched it in over a year now. Get sidetracked all the time– with all this tech stuff in the world, it gets to be too much sometimes-- often long for simpler times, when wasn't such a wide array of paths. Anyway, I went into old weird fiddle-video that came to mind when I saw the topic Wide, and clipped the clip posted below– found I've forgotten a lot of the FinalCut shortcuts, etc. Seems always having to choose one road over another- sometimes I wish I could take them all (insert here - cliches about time (they're pretty true)). Maybe I'll get back to video soon, anyhow. Guess wide area of life involves need to choose- sometimes I put off choosing- I hem and haw over what to do for so long- that the choices disappear- which really sucks (coincidentally, sorta happened yesterday) (insert here - cliches about time & regret, etc.). I'm thankful to have choices still, whatever the case.
Minimal(ist) choices vs. wide
One way
Which way?-
It's getting(?) stale here in Doodlesville-
Why'd
I'm predicting myself.

Just now remembering Castaway- great film.

I love this illustration Andy! You always come at things with a fresh angle, so clever! It sounds like you're going through some growing pains these days. I'm right there with you about wanting simpler times back. I vascilate between being this independant woman who's been on her own since the age of fifteen, to every now and then wishing I had someone to take care of me. I mean REALLY take care of me, not just marry me. TMI !
Anyhoodle, I love the swallowing of the hurricane! When my husband was going through a midlife crisis he wrote a powerful poem called "Hurricane." Your video brought it to mind. Maybe I'll email it to you if we can find it.
Thanks for stopping by. I always say "Yay!" out loud when I see I have a comment from you :)

A pleasure as always to read and see and watch your post and to read Laurel's comments.
For reasons that I can't determine, your video, perhaps because it deals with incongruities of scale, put me in mind of Jonothan Swift:
"On Poetry: A Rhapsody (1733)
So, naturalists observe, a flea
Hath smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller still to bit 'em;
And so proceed ad infinitum.
Thus every poet, in his kind,
Is bit by him that comes behind."
I'm loving your interpretation of wide. I like to work in a series when I'm makin' art for the reasons you've stated. I start a piece and then I'm imobilized by the possibilities. If I work in a series, I can explore both options. Of course, this doesn't work so well with laundry and bill paying...you could see how you might accidentally send dirty undies to the utility company.
loooooooooooooove the idea, Andy !!!
i think you should create more videos too .... you are eating all bad vibrations on earth !!!
powerful motion ....
big hugsssssssss, my Friend !!!
happyyyyyyyyy thursday ;-))))))))))
Thanks Laurel! Always really love your comments/visits and visiting you. Know what you're sayin' about independent (where it's all on you) vs. someone else doing all the worrying for you. I guess no growing pains- no growth- unless I hem and haw too long- ha.
Peace to you and your husband.
Thanks Neil! Great Swift piece- it really sums up way elegantly what I (not so elegantly) had in mind.
Thanks Jenn! Smart approach you have with series!
(hahaha- know what you mean- I hate when that happens (I'm sure the utility company does too).
Thanks Luisa! That Beach Boy's "Good good good- good vibrations" song is in my head now.
Big huggggs to you and happy day!
So true Andy--I too am a great procrastinator, always putting things off far too long. Sigh. Still, it is indeed a good thing to have these choices still and not have some terrible dictatorship try and decide how we live (though, unfortunately, I think some Americxans would like it that way, whether they realize this or not). By the way, I love this minimal work here--so beautifully composed and simple--perfect.
