Ecstatic Circles

Where has this song been my whole life?

  I look at projects like these, and I think, "Would that life could be twice as long, and I could try twice as many things, and make art that took hours and hours, and still read books and write books and scribble down poems in the margins of everything, on every napkin, and would that there was time to be in love, time to travel, time to cook every meal, time for chickens, time, time, world enough and time." 

I love everything about this project. The intricacy, the skill, how thoughtful the portraiture is. I'm trying very hard to avoid saying I WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF THIS FIRST, but it's not going very well so far... http://365luckydays.blogspot.co.uk

The title of this post is a collection of many of my favorite words, all put together. The page it links to is no different.

Our friend and collaborator Dugan O'Neal is a part of OMG Everywhere - a nonprofit founded by music video pros that hosts free filmmaking workshops for kids.  They recently finished a week long filmmaking summer camp where the kids reenacted Dugan's "We Can Make The World Stop" video.

It can be done. Intelligently, deservedly, without cruelty. Critics (self included) take note!
