Mayor of Kingstown

Had to pick up the keyboard and tell you all how I feel about this show. Not just the writing but the acting and the atmosphere. It's most definitely a 'one of a kind' for me. Not just because I think Jeremy Renner has his reward-game solos in it, but because every other character has his/her perfect time and place. The dynamic and dialogues are sharp, the violence and the doomed fates are there to shake things up. Why did I watch these episodes (10) about America's prison system?

The McLusky family has so much to offer. Have to praise the Mother of the three brothers - Dianne Wiest, who had me crying my 'manly tears' at so many points. Her every move is a gift to the hungry. I mean, to witness such great acting is rare nowadays. The girl who plays Iris - Emma Laird - is someone the industry must keep an eye on! Kyle Chandler had his short, yet good part - he set Jeremy Renner off. Mike McLusky is one hell of a character! The touch of the dark side, the call of the wild, man apart with a huge heart. I'm hoping for more to come. Writing it in my head already.

Hugh Dillon and Taylor Sheridan did a great job on this crime drama - more of a drama to me. Bloody thriller, love story with vengeance. Many interesting characters, the business of incarceration, seven prisons within a 10-mile radius. Everybody lets their beasts out, freaks on a leash, and acts on evil impulsions. 

Racial inequalities of the American corrections system - nobody ever had a doubt, yet it is shown perfectly. Not writing as a wise-ass, we all have seen/have heard many stories about it. I believe this show can answer the questions about violence and punishment. The things we do to ourselves, and the things others do to us for no real reason.

I am aware that my readers' interests may vary, yet I have to recommend watching this show if you are having a hard time in this material world. It might move you forward. It surely gives you something, the power to stand up and change things. For the better.

What would you do if anything you start today would become successful?

There are days in Vedic astrology which are called 'Siddha Yoga Days', and their meaning is: on these days, anything you start would become successful. Sounds good? Do you want to try? Well, start something today or tomorrow because both of them are Siddha yoga days.

I love when the sun shines, it makes me feel warm and happy. My soul remembers home and I know deep inside that I have to go on. I must find the keys, must walk the path a little longer.

I've learned lately that the mind can really become our enemy if not controlled properly. Why? Because the mind always needs something(s) to work on, think about, speculate on. When the three modes of nature kick in too, that's when things get nasty. One must control the mind and give it some good kind of work. Praying or doing our 16 rounds on the Japa beads is the way. 

I like rosemary, now trying it on homemade pizza (my favorite food in the whole world)! Mark my words, this is going to taste great!

Don't forget to recycle, wash your hands and take your Vitamins!

Forget to use plastic, eat veggies, quit smoking!

Have fun with what you already have!

Fortunate Lotus

Still need your fingers (and legs) crossed for me on the 1st script I sent to the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards! They messaged me by e-mail about another week to go till the results. So, this means I am in great need of your blessings until midnight of January 31st! 

It's fun to be around. This human life is keeping me busy both emotionally and physically. The mental games, the war with the neighbors are soon to be over. The relocation plan is working again. I am a wanderer who functions best when on the move. You find me happy with the Narada Muni lifestyle. (google it if you are not a devotee)

Friends are the essence of my human existence. I like meeting new faces, talking to fresh people with an open mind. Whether the connection is faith or love, we must be serious about the associations we choose. It matters who you spend your time with, what you guys chat about, the dreams you share, the thoughts it is going to create.

I'm having good dreams, calm vibes, natural intentions to make things right. I help the less fortunate because I know exactly how it feels to be standing on the line. For me, two case matters the most: homeless people and abused women & kids. I've always been an advocate of this two. This world around us seems not to care as much as it is supposed to about them. Are you willing to do something about it? Well, I am.

your ever well-wisher soul friend,

Reasons Unknown - Get Real

Ever wanted to be seen? Ever wanted to be loved? Ever wanted to get real for reasons unknown? I did. I still do. The Killers were the channel this time what God used to put me back on track. I feel lucky and grateful. This human life is one hell of an adventure! Keep going, stay real! Who matters - they are going to stick around.

Screenwriting is a big deal to me. Plus, a lot cheaper than therapy. Every story I have sent to international competitions was born from the life I have lived so far, the goals and dreams, the rejections and sorrows, the small achievements and happiness I have felt along the ride. It's not over, yet. I'm working hard, having fun, doing my very best. 

My reasons to live? I can't do anything else, for the moment.

Find the thing, your own talent, the one that only you can do. This material world needs more real - raw - more beautiful.

Tomorrow is the announcement of results, who the winners/finalists are in the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards! OMG! I am officially so damn excited! I had that script idea 5 years ago and rewrote it last summer. Had a great inspiration, someone (actor) brought a new light into my (he)art. I hereby thank him for that. Won't ever forget! Going to say his name in my Oscar acceptance speech for sure! Fingers crossed, wish me luck! Devotees, please give me your blessings! Thank you all!

Oscars 2022

Life is a game, but what is your prize?

To win an Oscar must be nice, as a teenager (year after year) I dreamed about getting one as 'best picture' or 'best director' or 'best screenplay' - now working towards this one. Reached the level of being able to step into this game. Wish me luck, fingers crossed for the upcoming years! Needed to work hard, write every day, read every day, find my voice. Now is the time! I'm ready! Let the opportunities come!

My secret weapons: I'm always learning something new, I'm always ready to move, I was born to survive each and every punch. Material things can knock me down but the spiritual power lifts me up. No doubt about that. What is your superpower?

After Life - Ricky Gervais. I am loving this show. So funny, I kinda dig his sarcastic and bloody evil play of words. He truly says and does whatever he wants. As I learned he wrote the series. Well done, Ricks!

I had to pass the 2nd year of sobriety (back in November 2021) to stop counting the days. Now happier than ever, perfectly fine at every party, my friends and family have accepted it. Anyway, I am way more fun sober than those who need booze to be interesting. Do you want to try? Invite me in! I'm lGaspardonging for a good kind of fun!

Gaspard Ulliel rest in peace, prepare for the next round!

What melts the heart faster than a day full of smiling sunshine?

Saturday of Mid-January, staying with the other half of the family. We have a little wolf-dog here, he is enjoying the extreme wind and the powerful sun. Giving is getting, growing is listening. Evolve through the eyes of your own storm. Get it? Good.

I believe in magic, the wizardry of my own. To change and challenge people. Had to go through many obstacles lately, yet I wouldn't give it away. It's my journey, my karma - which I hope soon gets a turn into something good. I did my time - as I often say.

Today's message: don't let others kill the goodness in you! Stay strong, stay positive, endure! The pain never lasts that long, anyway. You can go through anything with a lionheart. Tested and true. I went through some deep sh*t, yet my faith is pushing me forward. It's not religion, it's pure love for God. And this love never ends. Always comes back to me.

I'm longing to go North. I can hear the calling. My wolf family is now out there, looking for me - the lost daughter. Fire is running in my veins, a part of me would never be domesticated. I am a nomad for this life. Yet, I can do perfectly fine with humans. I guess the survival instinct has kicked in some time ago.

Tip of Your Tongue

Good day to get things done. On the road is the best place for me to be. I feel free, happy, complete. New year, new roads to take. New places to visit, new people to meet. I was born to be a nomad.

Ever wondered what it tastes like to get that iconic upside-down kiss from 'Spider-Man'? I did. I still do. God knows when, hehe.

Say what you want to say, don't wait - human life is short. I know, I know - I write about it a lot. I mean, a LOT. There is a reason, though. To wake you up, to warn you in time - before Death starts to knock, knock.

Who should host the 2022 Oscars? Easy question - me. If that's too early then Tiffany Haddish. I like that woman, she knows how to be funny. Natural born comedian. We must do a stand-up kinda thing together someday - near future.

Neve Campbell - Scream (5) is BACK! Oh, my God! I adore that woman! Scream was my favorite 'horror' movie of all time! M friends back in the days said I look like her. I wish, man, I wish. There's a freedom scream is hanging on the tip of my tongue. Soon, my sweet friends, pretty soon - a matter of weeks.

Today music is the key to pushing me forward. And the sun. And the writing. And the smiles and sniffs I get along the way. Hehe.

Great Things Take Time

Sure thing, but how long?! Bet you all have been there asking this. Am I right or what? 

Time is the real enemy. But does it really matter? Time goes on with or without us. Being in our teens, 20s, 30s - it can only go forward, and when I say forward - it means fast. No warning, it just goes away. Blinking is a waste, even. That's the pessimistic - realistic way of seeing things. But my way is the optimistic - dreamer - believer way. We have 354 more possibilities for this year! Let's rock it!

Pick your goals, choose your company wisely! Set yourself off if nothing or nobody pushes you forward fast enough! No need for looking back or be too far ahead! Live in the now! Do the best you can do! 'Writers write, painters paint.'

Take your vitamins, do your exercise, laugh out loud, kiss passionately, dance crazily, sing with your soul, wear whatever feels right to you! You need to be strong to be able to help others. Period.

I feel a bonding already with 2022! Let me make the best out of the rest! 2022 is ours! We all can embrace it. Great things truly happen. I do believe in my destiny, just like in my free will. The love that we share is the key to human life. Infinity. Compassion. Generosity.

Turquoise Healing Wave

Another great Monday ahead. Well, writing a little before noon, so half of it is still ahead. Healing is always a good thing, whether it needs to be done mentally - emotionally - physically. We all have to cleanse and rebuild. Set goals for 2022. Take the baby steps towards them while the whole world is on fire. We must go forward. Whatsoever happens with or around us. There is just simply no other way. Keep going forward!

I am here for you all, and I hope I can be at your service even more. This year feels bigger - better - stronger - more. New waves are coming. New ideas, new chances, new people. Thanks, God.

Turquoise is one of my favorite colors. It creates a special sense to watch the water or the sky turn into shades of it. 

Writing ideas, scripts is my way of life these past months. Last year I did grab my soul balls and went for it, just like this new year. I have so much to share, limitless fantasy, and thoughts to help you grow with some entertainment. Stay tuned, big news ahead!

Encouragement is important to all of us, so my message today is that we all should try to encourage each other! Call someone who needs it, or just say it to a stranger, or any other way is fine! Lifting up another soul makes you stronger.

Simple Life in the Now

A simple life is a phrase many people often use without being truly aware of its deep meaning. It means you manage your human existence with less. But less of what? Is it really less, or is it even more? 

What do you want from your human life? What makes you move forward?

I believe in God which is no secret. Never was. Been lucky enough to be raised by faith. Not going to say that I've never had my 'Dark Night of the Soul'. I had. But there has always been a stronger dawn coming.

Simple life means to me that I keep my faith strong. Not blindly, not like a droid. I have questions, I went through the dark and twisted, yet I've always knew God exists. Challenges and trials. Losses and triumphs. A human being has both the happy and the sad times.

Health is a true gift from God but you have to be willing to keep it. Many of us don't understand that its our job to keep the body - our material vehicle - healthy. By any means possible, affordable, manageable.

Living in the NOW is also a task to everyone out there. The past is the past - can learn from it but should not lament on it for too long -, the future is the future - can never know for sure what is about to happen.

I'd like to start a fresh conversation about 'Simple Life', who is down to it?

2022 is Finally Here

New year, new beginnings. It doesn't mean we won't have challenges, it doesn't mean we won't have to work hard for what we want to achieve, it doesn't mean we can't evolve. What does it mean then? It means there are limitless possibilities. It means we can create a life that is truly human. It means we have to believe and trust. It means we have to go forward. It means we still can love. It means we were born for a reason and this year we can get closer to finding that reason.

I needed a few days to write to you all, hope it doesn't discourage my dear readers. I was sick /caught a heavy cold-flu-whatever/ and my mind was also too troubled to send out anything positive.

Now here I am, back at it. I do what I do best - write.

Another script is in the making! Aye!

I feel the urge to express how grateful I am for everything my dearest Friend, my Lord gives me. He set me off on a pretty tough path, yet here I am, still punching. /as Sly keeps pushing us forward/

The will is strong, the truth is by my side, all things are going well for me. I had to go through what I had to go through but it's getting further and further from me. Anything bad that is happening in this material world is so temporary. We simply can not lose it because of momentary people and things.

I encourage you all to keep your head up, grab your soul balls, and go for it!

your cheerful friend,

Kata
