Monday Rouge

Mondays can be fun days - a question of your mindset, really. Mine directs me to see duties as stepping stones, not as burdens. Nothing can be as heavy as the mind, anyway. Keep holding on until the new winds come because they are going to come, mark my words on that.

The colors of the rainbow are truly shades of human life. Nothing is black nor white on this damned but beautiful planet Earth. Doesn't matter how hard governments and the 'hateful eights' trying to set us off against each other, they can not win this game. Love conquers all.

Faith is the greatest help when all seems lost. To trust God's plan is the hardest, yet most fruitful action one can take.

Staying warm, healthy, and calm are the key moves for the upcoming 3 weeks as our sweet and smart Vedic-astrologer /Kata Fodor/ told us. Sometimes in human life, we all have to wait, hold on tight to what's bright, keep the positive mood rising until the changes come! Preparing and planning can go on, yet the doing part has to wait.

Travel, I miss you so much! Lake Balaton, how dear you are to me! Material things can be so comforting but when you have to live without them, that's when you turn to the inside with more effort. No day goes by wasted.

Karma, Bones, Amnesia and Flames

I was out and about on a renovation with my friends, so sorry for the absence. Now back at it, writing - editing - preaching. Just the usual stuff and thangs I was born to do. 

As you know, I am always eager to find some good and new music for writing inspiration - MOD SUN is one of those lately. He has a strong and cool voice, the lyrics are emotional and we all totally can relate. Hats off for the raw and open style. I hope he won't change and grow a big face. Enjoying the sound and tunes of his songs. The drums waking me up even better than morning coffee.

What can one say about karma? She is a bitch, indeed. Yet, she gives you exactly what you deserve. No more, no less. Hard to accept? I think we have no other choice. To decide wisely comes with age and experience. Have to live life instead of watching others living it. You all are unique with going through hell and coming back, day after night.

The past is the past, the future is never granted - what we have is the present, whether it is a gift or a bag of the shaft. Make the best out of the rest!

Life never asks 'are you ready or not?' - things happen either way. Reactions count. Better be born ready. This is how I'm breathing in and out. Seeing the big picture is difficult at the hard times, yet that keeps me going forward. Each day has the potential. 

Love moves us from one step to the other. My little heart is full of that kind of love. I feel everything. Hell yeah, both a gift and a burden from God. Yet, being strong enough to have been carrying it around for over 37 years now. I still burn for you all.

Orsi Nagypal on a gloomy Saturday

Hats off for 'Nyitva'! Loved how raw, funny and true it was. Orsi Nagypal, you did it! Wasn't expecting this kind of entertainment quality from a fresh Hungarian movie /I know, I know - shame on me and let those stones coming/ from 2018. Thanks so much, girl! Respect.

Nyitva/Open - made me think about how we humans are built up in our relationships, especially when Love is involved /the Love between lovers/. This movie drew a bloody true picture of our basic instincts and nature, yet the soul and the heart were not lost in the game. Nicely put down, fun characters, I think it's fairly easy to relate. Oh, and a tricky ending. Well done!

Milo Ventimiglia went 44, since when??? I know, little obsessed lately about ages, tell me about it! Me turning 37 maybe has to do something with the case. I'm aware of how this role is just a role, yet interesting how human life changes through the decades. I enjoy the evolving, constant learning, even teaching from time to time. 

Saturday going nicely so far, preparing for the big news tomorrow. Nah, relax! Nothing like that! Work-related was about time.

Melissa McCarthy has my heart. And my midriff. /or any other saying to tell how madly she can make me laugh anytime/ I wish I can work with her on any movie she chooses! Hats off. Queen of Laughter.

No Time To Die on a Wednesday

Joking, as I usually do. Busy is a good sign that you did not give up when others most expected you to. I often tell people the importance of human birth but today I'm gonna go easier on you. 

Duties and rights, we are all familiar with them. Parents - if we are lucky enough to still have them around - require a certain mindset, where you have to understand a great deal of good and bad inheritance they got to bring into this game. They did not get to choose, same as us. We have to work with the cards given. Trust me, it can be done.

Daily decisions lead us to the place what we deserve - karma, fate, however you call it - unbreakable laws of nature. We all should be much more careful about what we think because that is what makes us say and do things. Sometimes we just can not stop before the thunder and lightning, other times we are more patient, filled with that precious compassion. Guided by the light is always a better answer.

Looking around in the world makes me want to pray, cry, shout, laugh, cuddle, dance, walk away - so many feelings and thoughts running in my veins. 2021 Met Gala - just have seen KK's completely covered up in a black outfit; 2021 TIFF is on with so many great films and actors; wondered about the fact that most celebrities misunderstand the meaning of the word 'sexy'. Some of the nowadays famous women say foolish statements out loud like 'weaponizing beauty' and calling it 'most dangerous and powerful'. I believe intelligence has nothing to do with going cheap. You don't have to reject anything from what it is to be a woman, yet you can walk the path with class, dignity. I can not look up to a woman who 'wins' hearts with her bodily complexions. 

One has to write, even when all the neighbors are doing their very best to ruin any tiny spark of mastering the day. What I've been experiencing lately is people going wild /being polite, not saying 'crazy'/. I am nearly amazed by how selfish these humans can be. Fair advice to you all: try to live in your own house with your own rules. Rental flats are no longer my thing. Official. Period.

Bloody Monday, Bells Ring

This rental flat has only one huge pro: I can hear the bells ring right now (noon) from the church nearby. Thank God for that, uplifts my moods like tons of coffee beans and dark chocolate! Just kidding, nothing can beat those! Or is there anything? You are about to find out! Human life is full of surprises! ;)

Getting in late for 'Peaky Blinders' but still, a show I like and reminds me of how survival and success meant everything. Now it has changed for the better, yet a good story is a good story. Violent? Hell yes! Creates wild emotions and disturbing thoughts? Bloody yes! Sometimes it's just to wake up the thing in me, the tool I need to write in inky, shady mode again. Scripts are there to finish, aye! .)

Shorts on the VMAs: why do women wear less and less? I think it kills the fantasy part totally. When I come across another 'see-through dress I feel bored. Never been a fan of cheap things. No easy women. When the 50s/60s trying to look 20s/30s it's just sad. I encourage all to be more natural, beauty can be shown through dignity and dressing up classy. I'm aware it's a competition of the looks too, yet makes me want to cry how hard they all try to be the queen of topless. Or better to say 'The Queen of Sale'. Low life.

Need a positive ending. Mondays are there for the taking. It's up to you, and you only, what to use them for. My way is the high way. Haha, not. It just rhymed and I love to crack a joke (or two).

Confirmed to be Dead

As we all are from Day 1 aka birth. Nobody is skipping death, sooner or later it is going to knock-knock*, right? What we do with the time given matters the most. It's definitely going to be shorter than what we might expect from it /or in extreme cases like mine - longer/.

What's social media and can it truly be a tool to reach material success, connections, new friends? What are we hoping for? Is there anything to gain, or just the pain? Are we using these online platforms to do good, or is that totally impossible? Tell me what you think in the comments! /here or at @katathenomad on Instagram/

Everybody wants to leave some worthy legacy behind. But what it is truly? Who is the real you and what lives long after you've been gone? I can tell you my way - how you made people feel about themselves and everything around them, what they have changed in their lives because of you, what you made them believe in. This is going to stay forever.

No worries, death is certain. Be happy and do your duty nicely while you are alive! Human birth is not a joke, you have to do something more with it than just eating-sleeping-mating. Come on, you know exactly what I mean! Learn and teach, go further than anyone before you has ever gone!

Turned 37 on the 8th of September. Being a WW1984 is more than I've ever thought it would be. More pain, more gain. Still being here hurts like hell but there's a reason for everything. I trust God and His plan. There's a secret behind His will of keeping me around. I believe.

/*that was one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life/ 

Thank You, Coverfly Team!

Feeling extremely lucky to be able to learn from the Coverfly Career Lab. Joined a little late but so great that all the sessions are still available for me to watch, and all the workshops (notes and guides) are there to download and fill in. Excited to get to know me from this angle! A piece of useful advice or an awesome story, each guest tells something which helps you go further in your screenwriter career.

I think we - writers - are always halfway inside our world but to be able to share it with others is learnable. 

The /Feature/ Film or TV Industry is also there to do your research, to get to know others, to be visible for those who are on the same page as you.

To show the world what moves you, what are you excited about, what do you want to tell/share/teach - this is a writer's job. People love their sight that's why motion pictures and TV shows are so popular. Projecting emotions and relationships, stories and drama they are familiar with - to write these, this is our job.

Nowadays humor also ranks higher than before. Darker the better.

Human life is important, the company we have is even more crucial. Let's find each other and do great things!

Once again, I am overjoyed to be a part of this Coverfly Career Lab! Thank you: Mitch, Namrata, Geoffroy, Mithra, and all the other amazing humans! .)

True Fearlessness

True fearlessness - what does it mean? What do we fear the most, anyway? I think death has some powers over the material minded. Because we have no conscious experience from the 'afterlife'. Those who have faith - have no fear. /Or much less fear, if you are still facing some doubts about that./

Human life is short. We can never know how long this ride is but most definitely shorter than what we want. So how can we prepare? What needs to be done before the curtains fall down?

I have simple answers to that. This whole Covid-19 pandemic has taught us the hard way how our lives can be in great danger anytime. We honestly have no idea of the variety of material diseases, mental and physical illnesses, bad intentions of other human beings. That's a fact. So, what can be done? How can we turn the tides for ourselves? I believe the only solution is trust. Having faith in God's plan for us, and doing the right thing while rumbling here.

Not so easy to do, I am aware. People constantly try us, situations make it even harder to react patiently, our great plans collapse in front of our eyes, all we can hear is bad news, both the present moment and the future seems hopeless. It's only our mind. Better make it our friend, or else we are going to be in even greater danger.

True fearlessness to me is pure faith in God. It doesn't mean you are not going to have a bad day anymore, no. You are going to fall again. But the strength is also going to be there to stand back up and walk again. This is what faith is. And eventually, there will be no falling down.

September Child in Megalopolis

Being a September Child is fun. You get a variety of colors, smells, tastes, and sounds of Mother Nature before she goes to sleep. These are her final weeks of dancing in the autumn breeze. When you sit down outside with a heartwarming blanket and say your private goodbye to the hot days and nights. Summer is gone, fall is here. Your soul needs to prepare. September days are the best to walk around your town or hike a few more in the wonders of Mother Nature.

The thought of Francis Ford Coppola at age 82 is having a 'dream project' to make is relieving. If he still has something to say and show which is his 'dream movie' to shoot then I'm not late from anywhere. Wish I can be a part of making his 'Megalopolis'. Huge fan of his art, hats off, and fingers crossed.

Happiness is a state of mind. When your life seems ruined that's the moment you have to stand up for yourself and walk tall again. No matter what has happened, you owe it to your real self to continue the journey. Make the best out of what's reachable for you! Never give in to self-pity and pampering the ego! Human life has to be so much more than just you.
