DOV "S-S" SIMENS' View On The Congressional Reform Act of 2011

About 8 to 10 years ago I took a weekend intensive class with a axiomatic figure in the start and revamping of many celebrity careers. He is the reason I started to write. A few days ago I received a letter from Dov and I guess it is a reflections of his primary concerns. I, personally, am not into politics just the motivation behind some of the legislative maneuvers I seen which don't seem to be focused "We The People" just lining the wallets of those that have the most clout.

Below is the letter that Dov sent me. Do with it what you feel is most appropriate.

N8

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!  Why?  Simple!  The people demanded it.  That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.

I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.  This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011


1. Term Limits.

  12 years only, one of the possible options below..


  A. Two Six-year Senate terms

  B. Six Two-year House terms

  C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms


2.  No Tenure / No Pension. 

A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.  

3.  Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately.  All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. 

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.  


The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen.  Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. 

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message.  Maybe it is time. 

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!! If you agree with the above, pass it on.  If not, just delete

You are one of my 20+.  Please keep it going.

Phone. Photo. Fiction. Fun!

As usual I took a camera phone photo that I either didn't like or I knew would scare the crap out of potential career colleagues and associates so I blasted it with something halfway moody/serious but mostly pix elated fun. That's sort of how Life approaches you, right? If you take it too seriously it will pass you by and you'll miss all the joy. However, if you don't take it seriously enough some of it's best lessons will be lost on you and your full physical, mental, and even Spiritual growth may not occur.
So whether you need to focus more or take a chill pill always remember to or at least try to smile.
Ouch!
Ya' see that didn't hurt much. Now stop smilin' because you are totally creepin' out all the people around you who have never seen you smile before. ;)

Neither an Angel nor a burdening beast of the field

THE DARK LADY

THE DARK LADY

by

Nathan Zen-Sapien

The Dark Lady tightens her grip.

I feel an ecstasy that few men live to tell.

Her embrace engulfs me
Subtle fingers ripple over me.
I am comforted by the employ.
Trumpet sounds and the grass changes color.
Yellow moon replaces yellow sun.
And in this euphoric transition surrounding me
I notice.
The Dark Lady has come and gone.

And There Is No Blemish In You

And There Is No Blemish In You

by Nathan Zen-Sapien

In a field of chrysanthemums and daisies

A perfect beam of light struck my eye

Your petalled beauty enfolded me

Changing my soul forever.

Rainbowed in a chakra of lillies

Covered in a morning mist.

I looked for error.

And found none.

What could be fairer?

Nothing under our sun.

For you are the light in my eyes,

You are the fragrant breath in my lungs.

You are honor, passion, perfection...

And there is no blemish in you.

White Merlot

I have to admit that the previous post was cathartic but dangerous to confess. Far too many people do not understand the nature of, or balance between the physical and spiritual.
Right now I am drinking White Merlot. In a minute or two I will be posting two poems that I wrote between the ages of 17 and 20 something.
The only reason why I am posting these poems is because they are sorta different and leaving them in my art log (sketch book) from high school isn't doing me any good.

A Reason, A Season, A Lifetime

A friend of mine who is more worldly than me once told me that people enter our lives either for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. He was correct but the extent that he was correct at that moment surpassed my understanding of the phrase.

For the pass 10 years I have lived with what modern science has not been able to explain. It is called psychosomatic pain. Since October 2001 I have felt excruciating pain in my chest and a fluttering pain in my abdomen. For the first year of this pain, from October 2001 to October 2002 exactly, everyday it felt like I was having multiple heart attacks that were triggered by things as simple as a slight bump or irregular sound. It was horrible and I would wish it upon no one. I fasted and fasted. By October 2002 the intensity of the pain had went away. However, the mind is an incredible learner. Once trained to believe something it will hold onto that pattern for years so up until very recently I had about 13 to 17 points of "odd" sensations like residual pain in my torso. Medical science does not understand nor knows how to categorize this type of psychological defect. I have had counselors tell me that it was linked to anxiety. I have also read (in more esoteric text) that this type of pain is due to emotional "tears" or "rips" in the emotional body and mind state. Whatever it is was it was awful! Stranger than this was the small things that antagonized the pain like laughter and even crying which I effectively stopped doing altogether. My laughter didn't hurt but the laughter of others sometimes did. Hearing someone cry had the same effect but something changed for the first time in over a decade I cried. I just felt it was time. So I cried and cried and slowly the pain began to fade. 

On top of that I came into contact with a person who was an advisor, oil peddler, children's book fanatic, and glitter-junkie. She helped a lot. Our every phone conversations alleviated and mended the last few "rips" in my emotional shell. Furthermore, the oils seemed to have the same result. No more pain. By the time I had ordered my own supply of oils the pain was 99% gone and all the things in my life that were broken began to be fixed. The clogged bath tub that Drano for months could not fix began to flow again. The tree that I named Mkodi that sprouted the very hour that my brother died has for the pass 2 years has been dormant. I refused to throw it out so I kept watering it and watching if it would grow again. It did. Little sprigs of green and brown are finally emerging. I took note of one of the books she recommended (insisted) that I read called The Little Prince. In the book, The Prince takes care of a very vain rose and every night he puts a cover over it to protect it. So I covered my Mkodi with a self-made container. I can't claim that Mkodi feels anything except the warmth of sun rays and the quench of water sinking in potted Earth but I am sure as far as plants go it is glad to be growing again and I am happy because of that, too.

I am currently creating the final mask for a brief but potentially spectacular inaugural performance at the V2V festival this year and glitter is everywhere. Oddly enough I am no longer in good report or communication with this advisor. Every time we spoke everything I said to her was completely wrong to the point where it seemed contradictory for contradictory's sake. However, I have finally learned graciously the deeper meaning of my friend's initial statement about the way people come into our lives. 

A reason (the briefest period). 

A season (usually to complete a task). 

A lifetime (self-explanatory).

It is just odd that sometimes people enter and exit your life for a simple reason yet end up irrevocably changing it for a lifetime.                                                           

Mkodi In It's New Container                

                                                                                                                               

My Glittered-up Rug

Their Guidance Is All Around Us Even If We Don't Completely Understand.

ADDENDUM:
In March of 2011 I went into the hospital to get a few x-rays of my back. Turns out that my back is fine, however, the doctors discovered clots in my lungs and left leg. I will live and the treatments are working so maybe all that "emotional pain" had a physical source. It never hurts to be spiritual but I just wish that this had been diagnosed earlier.

BIGGIE - N8 - ABSOLUTELY NO COMPARISON!!!

An associate of mine texted me saying that he had seen me in the city. I replied explaining that I was no where near the city. He laughingly texted over the pic. In my naivete I admitted that that guy sure did look like me and I ask what advertisement was that photo for? He exclaimed that it was BIGGIE SMALLS and that photo was taken at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum!
DUH!
There is like J-Lo and Miley Cyrus on both sides of the guy. Then he texted me another picture. All I have to say is I think I need to lose a few pounds (LMAO-4-REAL)!!!

p.s. If you can't smile and laugh at yourself others definitely will!!! ;)

I need that suit!!!

Biggie has Miley & J-Lo in his pic and I got "Larry, Moe, and Curly" in mine...

ABSOLUTELY NO COMPARISON!!!

( STILL ROTFLMAO!!!)

This poem is not my B.E.S.T. work but it is progress. The B.E.S.T is yet to come and I and you the reader deserve it!

The second B.E.S.T.

by Nathan Zen-Sapien

I am the "B.E.S.T." and getting Better Every Single Time.

Everything I set my mind to eventually gets done.

Those who follow me are never truly disappointed

Yet always unanimously surprised.

Spiritually and mentally I am the artist/maverick, 

The creative intellect instead of the intellectually creative.

By tarot standards I am the innocent jester and fool. 

A very intimidating man.

I am taller than average.

And bigger than most. 

I am for the most part smarter and physically larger than the societal norms that we live by.

Yet, for all these qualities I have always been the second choice;

The back-up plan.

People from business partners to friends to potential mates

Recognize that it is better to have me than not,

However, I have yet to be the first choice even amongst a limited selection.

They even (thankfully) admit I am not their first choice 

Which is honestly good because honesty (honestly) is Good!!!

I can respect that.

But the real issue is do I respect myself?

I do.

And because I do 

I can no longer physically, mentally, and/or Spiritually accept being second to the B.E.S.T. in their and my own eyes.

It is a lie.

It is without redemption.

And it makes getting Better Every Single Time damn near impossible.

Being B.E.S.T. in every situation means being intolerant of other's false perceptions of you.

Don't accept it.

In fact, change it!

So every time you face the falsehoods that others' heap you;

you will know exactly what to do.

And trust me it will get Better Every Single Time.

JERSEY PRETTY or How To Create The "TRIANGLE of DOOM"

OK. I am sitting at a table read this previous Sunday afternoon and several pages into the script one of the primary female characters is described in terms that only a man securely married to his wife of 10 years would ever utter... Jersey pretty. Quote, "... modestly stylish, Jersey pretty, (she) dashes into the room..." Now, I am not originally from NJ but upon reading this phrase (of which I was actually narrating ) I could not help but to chuckle.

There was a distinctive Femi-Naziish moan.

I looked up to see every guy in the room giggling to himself as the women recoiled uncomfortably in their chairs. I continued to narrate without incident until our first break.

OK. 3 hours later and 117 pages completed we finished the reading to a mild self-congratulatory applause. That is when it happened. "What did you mean 'Jersey pretty'?!?" one of the female readers exclaimed. My writer friend who shall remain anonymous for obvious safety reasons explained that, "She wasn't bad looking just ya' know sorta...". I sank in my seat. Fortunately, my writer friend has a lot going for him. It was basically his house! It was his script! The majority of the people present were members of his writing group! Hell, I'm the biggest dude in the room and I am sittin' on his left!!! But sitting on his right was his wife. Sitting directly across from me was one of my new actresses and associates. Sitting across from her was the only female and long time member of his writer's group. It was effectively the "TRIANGLE of DOOM" and the odds were stacked against us. We were outnumbered 3(ladies) to 8 (guys) which by gender standards might as well have been 3000 to 1.

Now, in reality, it wasn't that bad. Sure there was a ton of both giggling and explaining to which none of the women in the group were satisfied. However, in the end, the point both in context and out of context was clearly made... Jersey pretty although totally HILARIOUS just ain't that great. It is right up there with Chicago chic, New York nice, and Hollywood hot (which ain't so bad if you are into high tensile plastic (LMAO)). FYI - I do know a few Californian girls who are all natural and completely out-of-this-world!!! In fact, I know a few Jersey girls who if you called them "Jersey Pretty" could easily redefine that "giggle" factor into an "OMG" sensation. So be warned fellas it is best to stick to traditional, tried and true descriptions of our female counterparts or you may find yourself in a more vicious and metaphorically perilous "TRIANGLE of DOOM".  I know. I've been there before and I am still flinching... A little.

'Nuff' said.

What A Great Year For Movie Soundtracks!!!!

Hey Peeps!

Several pretty NICE end of the year events are coming up so I just wanted to post a recap of what I think "changed the game" (hint, hint) this year.

IT WAS MUSIC!!!!

Sure the visuals were outstanding, too. Especially when you consider films/movies like AVATAR, but did you take note of the totally engulfing soundtracks that reinforced the visual dynamics in these types of picture? ATTICUS ROSS and his brilliant audio interpretation of the BOOK OF ELI, HANS ZIMMER with his emotional tour de force soundtrack for INCEPTION, and now finally Disney hips up and locks it down with DAFT PUNK's tech savvy and heart racing TRON soundtrack. 

To wrap it up, I know exactly what I want under the tree this Christmas... MONEY!!! (lol) So that I can buy these cds and own a piece of this phenomenal musical revolution in the film industry.

COOL REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY-TYPE ARTICLE by ERIC J. LEECH

5 Ways to Be Miserable

December 7, 2010 at 5:00 am

By Eric J. Leech

Misery loves company, and nobody ever said good company can’t be found in misery. There are countless articles on how to be happy, but how many of them really motivate you enough to take action? Today we’re going to throw all the politically correct, feel-good, mumbo-jumbo nonsense out the window, and get right down to the thing most people do best… making themselves miserable!
1. Follow the Path of Least Resistance
No matter where you are, who you’re with, or what you’re doing, there’s absolutely nothing you can do to improve your current relationship or situation… short of putting a great amount of effort into planning something better for yourself. But why set course for uncharted territory, when it’s so easy and convenient to follow the same footprints, make the same mistakes, and enjoy the same misery time and again. They say there’s safety in numbers, but there’s actually greater safety in surrounding yourself with noncommittal plans.
2. Live in the Past
The one thing that’s even easier than not planning for the future is living in the past. There are so many lessons to be had from living in the past, like fear, depression, rejection, and self defeat. When you live in the past, you at least know what to expect, so it excuses you from the responsibility of living life to the fullest. You should never forgive others for their mistakes, so why extend that courtesy to yourself? Rehash your mistakes over and over until they are no longer just a mistake, but a reminder of your inadequacies as a human being. Relish in your failures, and remember that any failure from the past cannot be repeated if you do not truly believe in a future.
3. Never Learn to Deal With Criticism
One of the benefits of growing up in a “feel good” society, is that we never have to accept criticism. Life is a constant smiley face sticker, and if a boss, lover, or peer offers constructive criticism, you should take offense, stick both fingers in your ears and hum the I Dream of Jeannie theme song until they shut up. You know how to do your job, love your spouse, and conduct a meaningful friendship, so why listen to what anybody else has to say, especially if they know more than you? The only time you should listen to criticism is if it’s mean-spirited and hurtful. Painful words should be repeated again and again, until woven into an inner dialogue of self pity and anger.
4. Count Your Troubles, Not Your Blessings
There’s been several schmucks running around telling people not to sweat the small stuff, and to this I say… but how can we create misery out of feeling sorry for ourselves, unless we have a long list of reasons to be? One neat thing about being human is that you have the capacity to make almost any situation miserable. Did you ever think about where the real pain from life comes from? Is it sourced from the uncontrolled variables of your job, boss, affair, or relationships? No. You have complete control over how those things affect you. There is not any one person in the world capable of hurting you more than you can. You have more control over your life than you realize, so why not make it as miserable as you can!
5. Self Improve for Life
If you’re reading this, chances are that you’re looking for answers to a lifetime of self improvement and therapy. Self improvement is an interesting means of attaining misery by implying that you’re never really good enough the way that you are. People spend a quarter of their life investing in different opinions and products to better themselves in some way, without even giving a single thought to the possibility that they are already good enough!

If You Are In Florida On Dec. 11th Check Out "THE KILLING OF JACOB MARR"

BRAD REGO of 221films and I met this Summer at a film finance conference in NYC. Brad was a cool and friendly enough dude but there was something darker under the surface. We started to talk film and he told me of his latest project which was a horror film. If you were to meet Brad or talk to him over the phone you wouldn't think that he had that kind of creepiness in him... LOOKS ARE DECEIVING!

Although I have not seen the movie the website has an indie feel to it that potentially could be TOTAL FIRE! I mean HOT!!! Below and in the title above are links to the actor's page on his site. Could the next Brad and/or Angelina be there? YOU GO SEE HIS FILM AND TELL ME!!!! I can't wait to hear you responses in the comment section of this post! GO INDIE FILMMAKERS!!! WOOHOOOOOO!!!!

MIKE BIASELLI, A MOON KITTY, & A V2VIFF UPDATE

SOME WONDERFUL NEWS!!!! Mike Biaselli is awake and moving about or at least trying to. They have him restrained because it is very uncomfortable having those tubes down his throat. I was fortunate to get this info from Mike's good friend and fellow cinematographer Jason "Jay" Glover and from reading a FB update posted by Mike's longtime significant other (aka his very loving and important girlfriend) Maria. Long story short... I cried.

Also a personal note to my closer friends ask me tomorrow (definitely not today) what moon + kitty =

I should straight-up know the eagerly awaited answer to this perplexing equation in a few hours (Ay Caramba!) :D

As for the festival, sponsors on a corporate level have through the grape vine been working on helping us reach our goals. If anyone knows businesses that would not mind having their logo on our fest Home page with a link to their site on our Sponsor page send them to www.indiegogo.com/SAPIEN-FILMS-FUND-PROJECT or contact us through www.v2viff.com 

I want everyone to be especially careful this holiday season. Drive a little slower. Let that angry dude pass even if you are that angry dude. Let that "ish" pass especially if you can't get it before the holidays just chill and catch the mega sales afterwards. Breathe in and with a cleansing releasing energy just breathe out. No more accidents this holiday season. For whatever reason, no more accidents this holiday season.

Be Safe.
