EPISODE X: FALL 2020
Hello People of the World;
Happy Halloween everyone. I guess. Here we are again in the fall of the year. No one is commenting on the weather of late because we may actually have some more important things to chat idly about, hey?
I hate the term “The Halloween Season”. It never made sense to me. Holidays are not a great idea to begin with. Labor should get days off regardless of a corporate-constructed holiday. You know? Plus, everyone only wants to use Halloween to be nostalgic about their youths. Which is what got us into this f*cking predicament to begin with.
As always: Stay safe. Stay home. Wear a mask if you can’t.
All right, let’s get going:
1:[ I finally watched “The VVitch”. It was fine. Kind of boring. You can tell the whole movie was an excuse for that final naked romp scene. Too bad.
2:[ Well, I am looking for another job. I found out recently that the position I had at the movie theater was terminated. I was not notified. If I was asked back, it would not be in the position I was trained many months for. These managers, cost us our jobs because we did our job too well….
3:[ I am making some progress on my Zombie Movie script. I am coming up with an angle that not many screenwriters, nor even Native filmmakers have come up with I think. The title is “An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the “Zombie War”.” It opens with the outbreak and we take up six months later in Chicago. I hope it comes out okay and once this quarantine is done, I hope to shoot it on my own….
4:[ I am really trying to get the 5th draft of my novel “A Rez Tale” completed to begin the process of grammatical and content editing to prepare for an online e-publishing. I sent it out to 6 readers, 3 Native, for the Native perspective, and 3 non-Native for an outsider perspective. The Natives never got back in touch. I guess they must hate it. Or, I’m a terrible writer. I have given writings out to friends but they never tell me whether or not they liked the writing. I think they don’t say anything because of how horrible it is. Anyways, I am really trying to get the 5th draft fo my novel “A Rez Tale” completed….
5:[ I did enjoyed Halloween as a child. We got into costumes in my later years. One year my sister Val sewed me a full Ninja outfit. I thought was pretty cool. One year, I went as Zorro. I just loved the black cape. We went all out on that with black shirt and pant and boots. My mother sewed a cape and we did the bandana mask rather than a store-bought one. My brother lent me a black cowboy hat for the evening. I felt and looked amazing. Yet, I always wanted to be Batman but was never able to put together a costume. Maybe, one day, I will play him in a movie. Anyways, I enjoyed Halloween as a child….
6:[ We cannot go back to “Normal” all after this. We really can’t. What was normal life for some, was getting gunned down for no reason to others….
That is it for this month.
Wear a damn mask.
As always, I invite you to comment, correct, or contradict anything I write here. I am open to a critical debate. Thanks for taking the time to check out what I write here and I will see you in a month. Happy Halloween folks.
Until next time, remember “I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control everything really are.”
