Me Tarzan: You Be


This Friday's Video Entry can be found HERE

"I hypothesize that in order to be excellent at something you must first pick yourself up and DO something." - The Hutchings Hypothesis



Dear You;
Are you happy?
I suppose that’s not the most normal way to start a letter but then again what is normal to
us? That’s a human condition. Still, are you happy? To be honest, these past few days I can’t say that I am fully aware of what that means but I’m working on it.
Sidebar: “To be honest” – what the hell does that mean? Shouldn’t people be honest in ALL their communications? Pff!

Anyways, so one of the definitions of happiness according to Macbook Dictionary (shut up, it’s still a viable dictionary) reads, “willing to do something”. I don’t want to do anything. Which is funny for reasons you and I know all too well. You know what’s equally funny? Go and do a search for the word ‘excel” and you’ll see, to “be exceptionally good at or proficient in an activity or subject”. So... happy means you have to be willing to DO something and to excel means to be exceptionally good at what YOU ARE DOING. it’s hand it hand it seems.

You remember when we used to do things? Grab the camera, make stuff, spend forever editing? Editing. Good grief yes, editing. You were right I’ll give you that. But it was fun. Left room for excellence. And in the very least, we we’re doing. And doing is the first stage towards being excellent, right? I hope you’re doing stuff. I hope the stuff you’re doing is making you happy. And I hope you’re doing it excellently. Who am I kidding , is you. I’m doing stuff. Not just the advertising but ACTUAL stuff. Been prepping some of it secretly – look out for that soon. I’ve also started the second blog I was telling you about, Me Tarzan. I can finally throw my… thought experiments and varying hypotheses around. You know me. And yes B is for Stealing stays, it’ll be my… creative outlet. Well more so.

I don’t particularly KNOW where I’m going with this – and you know how uncertainty thrills me beyond compare – but I just had to write this. So yesh, here it is.
Be happy. Live Excellently. DO. STUFF.

Me Tarzan. You List

--> I’ve been listening to SKYFALL since the radio edit dropped on Thursday. It tore through me indeed. But somewhere around Friday evening [maybe earlier], I realised that while most people were loving the song for it’s Adele/Bond value, for me it was an actual plea to Heaven. "Please, let the sky fall already." I had had enough. I wrote a short piece for my [name: classified] project and while doing so, I asked myself, “what would it take to make you happy?”. I wrote it on my phone.. Here now is the list. What would it take to make you happy? 1.               ACTUALLY seeing God I remember, the days leading up to the surgery thinking, what would happen if i went under and had some kind of Divine Visitation? What then? If I sat down to it, I can almost rationalise every faith experience. Almost. I think about how many times I was supposed to be dead - literally - and I think, it had to be God. Of ...

Me Tarzan. You 2025

I don't know if you're watching. I don't know if you care. I certainly don't know if blogs are sexy anymore but ... here we are. It is March, 2025, and like Carrie Bradshaw, I too don't fully know what I'm doing. Which is hilarious when I look back on my old posts and still didn't know what I was doing. This is and election year in my country. I have a lot to say. Maybe even videos to produce ... but I also have nothing to say. It is 2025 and I am apparently 43 and I've appropriated that one song to say, "nobody likes you when you're 43" because ... really.  [hums to self: "the state looks down on sodomy" hahaha. ah that song was good, wasn't it?" I didn't intend to come here now with word vomit; probably later I'll have something actual to say. Probably I'll exchange procrastination with discipline and RESUME my bloglike ways because it used to be FUN. Circumstances... not so much, but blogging? Yes. Anyways,...

Me Tarzan. You Preacher Politics

                                  Valley of Decision by Christafari. Appropriate me thinks. On the night before the American election, while walking towards the taxi-stand, I became depressed by religion in politics. Actually, I became depressed by the thought of RACE in RELIGION but since that flowed into the political stream, one can say that I was sorely depressed all the way around. Here’s why: A prominent “Father of the Faith” so to speak, sat down with Mitt Romney. Now, tradition has shown that he’s the kind of guy that Presidents and Presidential hopefuls go to at some point in their careers, so it should come as no surprise that Master Mitt and the “Father” wold meet. It is said, that after meeting with him, though he didn’t give an all out public endorsement as other members of his family seem to have, he did advise the [Christian] public to vote according to Biblical Views/Beliefs....
