Something that gives me strength in the times of weakness.

Invictus
-William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

I wanna run away
never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
no more lies
I wanna shut the door
and open up my mind…

Unlike most filmmakers, I never dreamt of it as kid.
I desired to communicate, via writing, painting, photography.
Later came film-making, A skillfully liberated medium.
I want to make films… that mirror reality … that touch lives … that make a difference.
… that entertain and elevate one to humanity!

“In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? Park on driveways and drive on parkways?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can the weather be hot as hell one day an cold as hell another?
When a house burns up, it burns down. You fill in a form by filling it out and an alarm clock goes off by going on.
When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this essay, I end it?
Now I know why I flunked my English. It’s not my fault; the silly language doesn’t quite know whether it’s coming or going.”

Time Bomb by Jesse Greene [Burn Notice OST]

Come to me
the moon is closer than your eyes
I can barley see through the cracks
light shines out my scars
Sirens scream in vain
I have already died
a million times inside
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could stop me now
My love does not depend on anyone or anything
It will never die.
I’m ticking like a time bomb
soon to blow away
I am not you
you are not me
but we can still play
I could say I love you if only for a day
My mind sunk this ship I am drowning in
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could stop me now
My love does not depend on anyone or anything
It will never die.
