Voila!

As I continue to study French (oh, did I not mention how I have been blowing on those old embers?) I continually find that as competently as I can read the language now, I still have trouble recalling words well enough to speak in more than one or two sentences at a time. Today, I did my best to plumb my word bank and write a poem using no reference--only words and phrases I could remember.

Now, not only is this my first poem in the French language, but it is the first poem of any sort I have written in probably a few years, that I recall. I will let you be the judge of its quality. Behold,

"Au-dessus de Toutes Choses"

by John Milton

le coeur, mon coeur
Comme la nuit, ce soir
Petite, mal, et noir
Je suis vivante,
Rien ne le dit
Mais, Je le sais
Le coeur, mon coeur
C’est un faux amis

Setting Sail Towards Tomorrow

Well, times have changed. Old ships have sunk, and new ones set sail.

Basically, the blogging will continue to be light for a short period.

I do not anticipate any interesting film-production related stories as I am putting production work on the back burner to focus on finishing some scripts and solidifying my financial situation via a true blue "real job" (You may officially address me as PC SYSTEMS SPECIALIST).

The dream has always been to write and direct, and the only hope of that becoming a reality lies in a few long shots I am pursuing right now which, unfortunately, eat up my time.

I will still pop in to lament the government or downtown Atlanta, as well as keep Friday Batman alive, so keep the site bookmarked. Also, there is a planned sequel to Yanks in Oz in the works that should be interesting, this particular adventure dealing with Europe.

Cheers,
JFM
