The Lepidopteran Revisited ( More Shots )

The Landlord Apt. In Virulent

VIRULENT Is Back On Track

Greetings everyone!!!

A while back we were in danger of closing our production of VIRULENT. We were short several hundred dollars for the location fee for the liquor store in the shoot. Well, miracles do happen... Fernando Cortez hadn't filed for income tax and when he and his wife did they had enough to pay for the rest of the shoot.

Here is irony...

The story in general is about a liquor store robbery gone bad. We filmed on the 19th, 21st, and 23rd of February. On the 19th, mere hours after we filmed and left the store it got robbed!!! The 3 men wore masks just like the ones in our shoot and robbed only on register in the store where there were two. The second untouched register had the most cash (whew!). These three men were on a rampage. They had robbed over 8 liquor stores and gas stations in Union alone. Fortunately, the FBI was on the case and caught the three men the next day. The liquor store owners didn't even find out about it until a week later when they read about the case online. Ironic, I know but I have to give Jim (one of the owners) credit for being a real trooper. He could have called the shoot off but let us film on the following days. Although I admit that when the fake guns came out on the second day of filming he got very quiet and did not watch the robbery scenes (lol). Let's just say that it may have struck to close to home for him but what a trooper nonetheless!!!

So now we are in post-production. The editor and cinematographer, Anice Jee just came back from a birthday trip so hopefully she will jump right to it and put our film together.

I don't know how many hours it will take her to finish but I do know that we will need help.

April is just around the corner and it is tax season again. As a tax write off WHY DON'T YOU DONATE TO SAPIEN FILMS?!? It is simple because there is a donation button on the right hand side of the web version of this blog. You will be helping local talent in front and behind the scenes get recognized for their efforts.

Enough begging (LMAO) lets just do it!!!

Hugs and kisses from your humble servant and director!

Producer In Title ONLY

Greetings Everyone!
I would like to clarify Indiegogo perks for producers! Some of you think that there is work involved in becoming a producer on my project... to the contrary! We are offering the perk and benefits like getting invited to after party events and networkings ( one of which a producer from Spielberg’s camp will attend with other industry elite) for just funding our short film.
We currently just need $600 more to cover the costs of one location. So fund away but remember to drop me a line at nathanwaire@gmail.com to tell me what you did. You can also call 9088683145

Dramatic PULP FICTION Monologue Performed By STEVE YANK

I love it. This was when I first started to record monologues and Steve is a brilliant guitarist who wanted to try his hand at acting. He had a silent role in THE YARD so it was only fitting that he would give this BAD-@$$ speech. We had no mic except for the one on the camera so this is raw.
Enjoy

A Quick Thank You

It made me feel real good to know that the whole blog page was being explored. So thanks "Anonymous" (lol) for leaving a nice comment. I am switching comment moderator so I will not be able to post comments nor read them for awhile. I am not ignoring you just I need to focus on generating funds for my short film. If interested hit the link below... We have some interesting perks!

HACKENSACK MERIDIAN HEALTH Video I Helped Create

https://drive.google.com/file/d/14SyP7Z86Mjt79ttTojzrfL_XaKx7Oo-s/view?usp=sharing

This video was created to help recruit students with special needs into the lab tech training course at JFK Hospital. It took just under a week to make and I shot most of the footage except the parts where Mr. Noll is talking (he shot that himself). Mr. Noll also provided the still shots of the students in lab training. It is 4 minutes long but I am sure George got across his point.

Peppermint schanups

So I just got through drinking a Fosters beer and peppermint schanups (sp). I still can't spell it correct. The store attendant, Jim, said it would warm me up by 5 degrees. He was joking but I could not help to respond then I thought it lowered temperature. We both laughed but lets face it alcoholism is no joke and right now I am buzzing. I don't know how to spend the holidays and spending it buzzed out doesn't seem to cool. Hence, I am going to leave it up to you. I may not post your comments but I will read them all.

Looking for Fantastic

I'm back!!! I know it has been a few years since I have written a post... I was distracted by work. FYI- I never got that Lepidopteran project past the script point. The audition was a bust! However I learned from it and have proceeded to grow past this point. I'm a grower not a show(r) (lol)

Anyways here's to getting back on track. I wonder what adventures I will have this year.

BTW- Ladies I am 44 years old, single, with no children... HOLLA at ya' boy!

Starting the casting and crew gathering for my next project.

Looking for a cinematographer. Good eyes and willing to do art for low pay. Be creative.

Actors and actresses:

Bodybuilders any ethnicity and willing to wear body paint. Both men and women are welcome.

20 something female any ethnicity, athletic, capable of good and slang diction for role of Salene.

Fight coordinator for martial arts credit in film.

Female martial artist capable of Hwarangdo.

20 to 30 something males must be able to act and be athletic. If I have your resume already and used you in one of my films already I will contact you if I need you. Believe me.

Plus extras. No pay with film credit.

Two things have come to my attention.

1) My candor about certain sexual preferences. Your sexuality is not my concern and if I seemed homophobic... Apologies. 'Nuff said'.

2) If I went to high school with you and you were an actor back then or interested in film and being on set drop by the audition.

The location is CASA DE SOL in Union, NJ. Wednesday November 5th the day after elections from 10 am to 1 pm.

The Second Twilight by Deep Forest

The Lepidopteran called Straight Arrow, is The Night Light in our film. I filmed him right after I glued the mask and painted it while listening to Wu-Tang. I was humming the Underdog theme and saying to myself I "ain't nothing to f' wit" even in the morning while finishing this video and posting it. Figures, I am all a buzz so don't "bring the pain" or the city bus full of nuts (LOL). However, the music in the video is The Second Twilight by Deep Forest.

p.s. What do you think of my sword? You can look but don't touch.

Nathan Zen Sapien's Masks

Nathan Zen Sapien's Workshop

I had a few problems with the video so the final few masks are NOT shown. However, the Lepidopteran Ronin called NIGHTLIGHT will be up soon. By the way...

I decided to reveal a composite video of the art and some of the pieces that will be seen and used in the next film. The mask of The Lepidopteran is actually two masks. One is on the table and if you look close enough you can see the golden helmet part of that mask, however, the other mask of The Lepidopteran is seen very clearly in the window... Because he has a halo and some horns. ^_^  Hence, the duality of this character is seen in the two masks and two separate characters. One is mask more smoke than fire and more fire than light while the other is more of the opposite in its origin. Of course, to understand this more completely you will have to see the film. The Oracle is also revealed here as well as some of the weaponry that The Egyptian and The Viking will use in the movie. The name for the character with the white mask is also shown and I will give you this one hint; you will reap what you sow... so watch the video and no White Zombie jokes.

There will be several other protagonists and villains revealed however until the time when they are shown I hope this will keep you desiring for more info. By the way...

The Oracle is a thunderstorm at sunset and in the eyes of many a golden rose. She is a Hapshetsu class sniper which means she trained with The Egyptian and her marksmen in gunnery and throwing weapons some of which are in the video. There are also several fighting styles that will be shown in the movie I just wonder which characters will use what style??? Hmmm, I know which styles I just don't feel like talking about it right now. I will say that The Oracle will have combat training in a Valkyrie-style fighting art form that will be a composite of something new. She is also a very proficient pilot. I think she may have been hanging out with a few Vikings on the battlefield or at least making sure they were victorious in battle.

I have posted a larger version above.

Fun Stuff, Huh?!?

A tree fell in our yard from the neighbor's backyard. It took them a full six months to clean the mess up yet a year later a chicken wire fence is still buried under this shrubbery. I cleaned my yard why can't they??? BTW these are the neighbors who own stores and have doctors and lawyers in their family...

So Dorothy Has A Halberd, A Laser Rifle, & Gladiator Shoes Instead Of Red Slippers...

Not sure, however, she may call her halberd, Toto??? She is very young looking yet amongst "The Eternalness" is one of oldest. The Eternalness are a group of planets composed of kingdoms. The Egyptian, to which I call Dorothy, is a high ranking official and skilled combatant. She has a affinity for the Lepidopteran and like him is extremely playful. The joke is that the Lepidopteran is focused solely and soul(fully) on the Oracle.
I will be looking for someone in their 20s who is athletic and capable combat sequences even if dialog for this character is paramount. See you next year...

This Butterfly Has A Mean Bite...

An oni and hero, the Lepidopteran is often a misunderstood character who takes on the image of the things he has to deal with even if the things he has to deal with don't look anything like the way they actually behave.
In this timeline tale your helmet reflects your mission, hence, he is an end game character who is more dangerous than the image presented. Don't let his smile deceive you. He is the type of man who is going to redefine the term "sin-eater".

Your Love Gun..

Weapons are useful only when used effectively and your weapon is love aim carefully and with caution. Love is a double edged sword. When used by your mate it can make you stronger and more importantly when used against those who hate your friend/lover/mate can make you strong while defending your mate. Just aim and shoot. And if you are using the gun between your legs wear the appropriate hat... It is dangerous out there and this ain't the wild west!! Sometimes the lone shooter is sexual non-celebrity because they just want to be safe. I guess they are just celebrating alittle bit... Is that why it called Cele-bit?

Movie Synopsis 2 Addendum

Tron & Tron Legacy

So you are the game & , of course,  like father; like son... What no Holy Ghost.

Movie Synopsis 2

Aliens (2)
You are a athletic female who barely escaped your first encounter with this giant space man-dragon just to find out it is just one of these things in this really big space hive/colony. Big business and the military are travelling with you this time yet everyone is having a hard time staying alive except a little girl who hides in small places and has an affection Barbie who is missing a few parts. After some technical difficulties you Jetson back home without that extra cargo in the vacuum hatch and the extra visitors. Without hesitation you relax saying calmly "Get your hands off her you bitch" as your mantra.

Yojimbo
Playing both sides is easy in a town with one gun... Fortunately, you are the quickest and most skilled swordsman and the guy with the gun is a little cocky.

Last Man Standing
Playing both sides is difficult in a town where everyone has a gun... Fortunately, they are so unskilled that their Tommy guns become pea shooters in comparison to you proficiency at killing.

The Shining
Your dad's a writer, you mom is a screamer, you are psychic, and so is your finger. There is an ax at the hotel you are staying at and  red rum. Not being creative and bored can be murder when the winter comes. I think that was the first time Scatman got the ax, man.

2001: A Space Odyssey
A domino. A thigh bone. A spaceship. A computer. An acid trip. A baby. (I purposely left that hairy kid holding the thigh bone out. Too, planet of the apes can I get a drum roll or at least a hard roll with my pork.)

Constantine
So you think you've earned some horns because of some bad stuff you did and some bad places you have been. Yet, you weigh heavy in the hands of those who don't like you because they are not your equal. So for all that brimstone and lack of redemption you feel about your past you actually have a halo and a pair of wings. Excellent end to a bogus adventure to the point of no return...

La Femme Nikita
You are a punk girl. You become a government assassin. After a short while the fire is lit for a change of pace. I guess being dragged from one mess to another has given you an appetite for a different type of French cuisine.

Devil In A Blue Dress
So you are a black girl who looks white in the early part of the 20th century. You are dating the highest ranking politician in the area and doing extra curricular activities with his criminal cohorts. A new detective who just so happens to look Black has discovered your secret. Okay, you may have a problem.

Highlander
OK. This long live royal guy is having a problem finding a good mate so he is killing any potential problem that he knows will be in the way. In the end, there can be only one and he is finally ahead of the game.

Ghost Dog: Way of The Samurai
You are a black dude who thinks he is a samurai and you exist in modern times. Your lord and master is a drug kingpin who is using your confusion to eliminate the other kingpins because basically you are a hit man. Before you take another order... you should go see a therapist. Doctors orders... (Not!!! That movie was pretty good.)

Dumb And Dumber
All the critics hated Dumb and Dumber then when it became a box-office hit they hailed it as a success... Man, it is called a road trip flick. Those hardly never fail (I was suppose to say how Dumb and stupid can you be?).

Some Movie Synopsis That You Won't See Anywhere Else.

Ghost in the Shell ( animated version)
You are a woman and a cloaking android in the military being high maintenance becomes more dangerous when you realize you aren't the most unique. So after some conflict you are forced to make some Major changes to get a head and shoulders view of the future.

The Last Unicorn

An unicorn ( a horned horse) leaves its magic forest to find the other unicorns. She turns into a woman, begins to become intimately close to a man, and turns back into a unicorn when she finds out his adopted dad is the reason why the other unicorns are way off shore. His dad's magic was a hot headed bully!

The Ghost and The Darkness
Two full mane lions delay apartheid the only way they know how... Mealtime!! Yet for some reason no one told them not to play with their food.

Do The Right Thing.Race riots over pizza?!?! N-word, please.

Yentl
Before L.G.B.T., suffrage, & E.R.A. clothing was an issue.

Wayne's World
So you're a loser, live in Milwaukee, WI and are really into music. N8's World, huh!?! Except I don't have a rock band and my best friend isn't a Republican wearing a blonde wig.

STAR WARS 4, 5, & 6
So your enemy is your father, your sister is your girlfriend, your best friend who is a criminal has a dog that is also a grease monkey. Good thing your appliances can talk back to you or things might be a little strange.

Conan the Barbarian (1980 - 81)
CROM... I know you do not care if we were good men or bad... However, I am a big man and I have a big sword that I am going to use to carve my way to The Terminator and then to the gobenator!!! Hide your daughters I have a libido problem and if you do not care the hell with you!!!

Die Hard
This little piggy went to market. This little piggy went home. No offense to real cops yet lets face it Bruce Willis is going to play a piggy who gets blown up and shot at alot in this franchise and he did it without a good pair of shoes.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Even after a 3 hour tragic love/martial arts film suicide is not the answer. Just take a hold of your destiny make it golden and chop through your problems then ain't no mountain high enough; ain't no valley low enough to keep Ziyi from dying in this film, babe!

Sucker Punch
It was called Brazil and filmed in the 70s with a man in a suit and he had a pair of wings. By the way, he got lobotomized, too.

Blade
Half man, half vampire like a martial arts; leather clad Shaft for the hip-hop crowd. How could they let the writer screw up both sequels yet masterfully write/direct the TV series???

Kill Bill 1 & 2
When an assassin marries another man leave her alone it doesn't matter that you stole a role meant for a real martial arts master back in the 70s.

Jurassic Park
Spielberg must be taking good history notes. A T-rex real enough to create a new audio system and a pair of raptors straight out South African pre-apartheid newspapers. For more info see the rest of my blog. Oh yeah, there some special effects stuff... I mean those were dinosaurs in a genetic theme park on an island owned by a demented billionaire just off the coastline of some fake city. He must be like the evil tropical version of Santa Claus creating a toy franchise for Spielberg that can only be rivalled by (pause) wait that ain't so bad!!

Lord of The Rings: Return of The King.
The series supposedly ends with a marriage. Well (come on now) did you really think I was going to explain the whole thing?

Cartoon Flaws part 2: Those Darn Cats

Cartoon Flaws part 2: Those Darn Cats (And No I Am Not Talking About That Movie)

BTW - THIS IS NOT MEANT FOR KIDS.

Pink Panther vs. Snaggle Puss

Why are you pink? Aren't you both boys??? Maybe your clothes were dyed in the wash? I have that same problem all the time. I don't even mix my white clothes with my colored clothes yet whenever I wash laundry in my mom's basement there is a color mishap.

However, the cats...
The Pink Panther is silent, resilient, athletic, and brilliant. Apparently, in the movies has a passion for diamonds. Yet, that detective in those movies using his name seems not only clumsy and confused but also despite his bad French accent highly dangerous to those around him. And his Katoesque servant... cooks, cleans, a martial artists who is rather quick yet not fast enough to best the detective. Maybe the detective has a very, very, very good luck like in those RPG video games. The more they do; the luckier they become. Attacking this person is in itself a mistake. Sometimes there isn't even a need to respond. You attack the panther/detective and eventually destroy yourself. The panther/detective may not even notice.
Which brings me to Snaggle Puss. You're straight, right? I mean your sidekick and sometimes servant is a mouse... Ut-Oh! There were all those stories about Richard Gere and he is straight, right? I mean that leading man got to mess around with a (pretty) woman.  There is nothing wrong with sexuality choices just that name... So you have a tooth missing, wear a fancy hat and vest, and you're a pink cat... OK... The name is appropriate!!! Just, dude... Dude!!!
Maybe a different color???

Which brings me to The Thundercats!!! Everybody scream HOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Lion-O and the Thundercats are on point! If you are going to wear a pastel color and be a cat why not light blue? Kind of sets off your red hair (mane) and orange skin. Every girl I met in high school and college always loved The Thundercats. Maybe that Eye of Thundarra sword had something to do with it? He shouting and it is growing as he gyrates back and forth... Has anyone seen that other king I think his name was Elvis?!?! I didn't he have some blue suede shoes? I know one of his stamps has him in a light blue jacket. Not to mention that The Thundercats had a tiger who knew how to use a whip (skipping that!! This is not that type of blog.), a panther who by the way was a masculine color and the brother was the cats martial arts expert, a pair of (wonder) twins who got into way too much trouble, a rather fast and furious female named Cheetara (I think she was named after a cheetah and for all her seriousness she was a HOT blond in all the episodes!!!!!!), and damn you, Snarf! Giving household workers, pets, and characters with speech impediments a bad name. He always said his name before and after any sentence he was saying. "Snarf! (Put silly phrase here) Snarf!!" It could have been cultural or maybe he was being egotistical? Some people like and need to hear their name. Usually, you like to hear it out of others peoples mouth but maybe he was a do-it-yourself(er). Didn't he have on a wedding ring and a family back home? Know wonder so many husband take trips with the boys to get away from their other half yet without the extra help they may have to become do-it-yourself(ers) not unless they like being with those boys more than they are saying?

Well, despite the plethora of slang terminology for cats and my particular outlook on their variations in media from the cinema to the small screen one thing is certain be cautious of your color scheme. Pink seems to be an antiquated yet growing trend yet I can't stop think about Cheetara... Wait a second, she is golden and knows how to a pole (that retracks and grows at her touch)... HELLO!!!

The Ghost and The Darkness.

In colonial pre-apartheid South Africa the British had a few problems with their railroad systems; it was called The Ghost and The Darkness. There was apparently in the Savannah a couple of hunters whose household plans disagreed with industrial expansion of new colonialism. The only problem was these hunters were of the four legged type. They were lions and here was the real issue; full mane lions are pride leaders and usually let the females hunt for the group yet these two lions hunted more like the first Jurassic Park movie raptors than your average lions. One sat in the open while the other hunted the hunters stalking them. 

They also waited and watched the group pursuing them to see who staggered or strayed from the group like you would a herd of wilder beasts or hoofed herding animals to pick off those foolish enough to stray. They did not perceive the scouts or the weak any differently just the further into their territory you went the more food you became to them. Their modern weaponry didn't mean anything to these lions just that someone was dumb and stupid enough to cross their path and the apartheid system that pushed the building of that railroad itself was eventually destroyed. Maybe those two lions were a foreboding of things to come????

Anyway here are few videos some serious and some not so serious.
Enjoy.

The Fearfeul

The fearful always come out in massive numbers while the brave are seemingly out numbered. Maybe they (The fearful) are so afraid that only large numbers can make up for their lacking in both ability and intelligence.  When looking both ways be sure to look forward this Fast Daddy knows there are alot of cowards out there and they are going both ways (LOL).

The Huffing(ton) Post

I'll huff and puff but I won't blow your house down.

Eagles don't do that...

So I will huff, puff, and light'em up!!!

Where there is light; there is fire and smoke.

The restless can become relentless and relentless people are either full of fear or fearless. Which are you???

RAY OF LIGHT

Here are the lyrics of Ray of Light... Light'em up, Kids!!!!

Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Faster than the speeding light she's flying
Trying to remember where it all began
She's got herself a little piece of heaven
Waiting for the time when Earth shall be as one

And I feel like I just got home
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light
Quicker than a ray of light

Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder
Do my tears of mourning sink beneath the sun
She's got herself a universe gone quickly
For the call of thunder threatens everyone

And I feel
Quicker than a ray of light
Then gone for
Someone else will be there
Through the endless years

She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe
She's got herself a universe

And I feel
And I feel
And I feel like I just got home
And I feel

Quicker than a ray of light she's flying
Quicker than a ray of light I'm flying

Cartoon Flaws part 1

Laugh, Kids... This is killer.

Scooby Doo Where Are You???

Scooby Doo and his high friend and master Shaggy. A giant Marmaduke-looking dog who is always hungry and his similarly hungry to-close-for-comfort friend and master Shaggy...Why are they afraid of anything?? He and Shaggy are taller than most guard dogs and their trainers. They live in a van with several other people and have seen stuff others could only imagine so by now shouldn't they be a bit jaded? Oh a ghost!!! So!!! Maybe it is the Scooby snacks? Some stuff should not be ingested, smoked, chewed, touched, etc., etc., etc...

Jabber-Jaw

So you are Curly from the Three Stooges and trapped in the body of a great white shark. You walk on land and breath air and know some kung-fu... So why in the world are you afraid of anything??? You have in a lot of episodes bitten through stone hard substances to get a sandwich or a piece of cake yet a costume villian approaches you with melee or hand weapon and you run. You have great white teeth (no pun intended) bite the mess out of that fool... Haven't you seen SNL's skit about the land shark??? I guess he doesn't understand how to use his killer smile.

PEANUTS

If it weren't for that Great Pumpkin episode and Franklin only being able to breakdance in the early episodes that show would have been perfect. OK. Snoopy kissing Lucy was kinda weird. She didn't have no fur (or fer after her name) Although she was kinda mean, did wear a pair of horns on Halloween and gave bad paid advice to Charlie... And let's not forget that football thing... Kinda evil.) Yet she was smart enough to know kissing a dog is wrong. She liked Schroeder. Schroeder liked his piano. Sally on occasion sat by his piano yet liked Linus. Linus loved his blanket yet believed in that dumb Great Pumpkin. Charlie who liked the little red head girl always was fooled by Lucy (with no fer) and was foolish enough to sit with Linus in that pumpkin patch waiting for something to happen that Halloween night... Which just turned out to be Snoopy. BTW - Snoopy was loved by several groupies all named Woodstock. Huh??? I didn't know birds of a feather who flocked together dug peanuts or dogs for that matter. (LOL)

Flintstones

Barney and Fred (plug 1 and plug 2 (with no pugs dah noose(sp) ) had Wilma and Betty. Betty is synonymous for pretty... yet Rosie O'Donnell played her in the movie. Say what??? Wilma a red head all in white and constantly in tears because of Fred's antics. Fred always angry and frustrated by everything in his honeymooner-like existence including his friend who always seems to help yet makes things worse. Kinda like the friend who is never at fault yet always in the middle of the mess you are in. Barney, Barney, Barney... Your nose is too big metaphorically for someone who is just a neighbor and just your size, however, they did wear women's garments once in a while which is me not making fun of their tunics because those things wear kinda cool. How can you be stone age primitive yet be so ethnically cool at the same time? Everybody will be wearing tunics in the future The Jetsons not included. FYI - I don't have any issues against the height impaired it is just those stone cold marble-like eyes...
Like little coals or pebbles. That is another post for some other day when we can let the sun shine in.
Bam-Bam! Without the weird chef throwing spices.

You May Not Be Able To Trust The Magick

"Behold, I make all things new." - Rev. 21:5

"You may not be able to Trust the magick, however, The Magick will never fail you so Trust yourself because The Magick is all around you." - Nathan Zen-Sapien

"True... True..." - That Guy from the 90s beer commercial.

Hell In A Hand Basket

Whoever said that phrase first must have been eating through a lot of problems. Let's see... In most hand baskets there is food, drink, and stuff that allows you to eat special treats. Sometimes people around seem to lower themselves on the food chain. It seems that when your enemies begin to fail they seem to repeat their mistakes even if you don't know that they consider you a foe. It is almost as if their losing causes a repetition of stupidity. They forget that the answer is simple... Idiot stop being stupid. If you can't accept the winner's graciousness and kindness to the point of acknowledging almost verbally of leave me alone then perhaps you are something less than a loser... Maybe a treat in that Champion's hand basket. Let's face it if you are in that hand basket atleast be grateful that it isn't a casket. Don't be an idiot sometimes giving your enemies a little space is just wisdom. It is magical knowing when to leave someone alone.
You may not be able to Trust the magick around you, however, The Magick will never fail you... Although your family, friends, and neighbors will.

Are You An Archangel or a Daredevil or A Little Of Both?

Warren Worthington born with a set of wings and a silver spoon in his mouth. Matt Murdock born poor and further hindered by disability. Warren privileged yet chiding to do the right thing even if stereotypes demanded he act one way or the other. Matt poverty stricken and losing his sight however gaining vision that surpassed others. Are you a Daredevil or an Archangel?
The Daredevil has no super strength but a lot of Faith. He believes in himself enough to trust his vision that gives him power and courage that exceeds the foes foolish enough to cross him. He has fought ninjas, mutants, and automatons with sometimes only a cane and belt with a few gadgets. He is like Marvel's answer to Batman.
Warren has angel's wings but stereotypes aside didn't have to act like one, in fact, he lived a lavish lifestyle. The perfection that superseded his stereotypical good looks and wealth was his vigilance for justice despite judgments against him and the temptations (not the music group) put before him. Sometimes fighting the Good fight is just making some Good choices and ignoring the idiots around you. He was an angel by choice and accept his responsibilities that his genetic make-up dictated to him... without allowing it to become a hindrance. He became an archangel when he refused to accept the forces beyond his control that tried to define him in terms he did not believe in... Are you an archangel or a Daredevil?
I am rich on the nside and have vision. I have disadvantages that I care nothing about yet not given in to lured energy plaguing me.
I refuse to give up my halo or my horns. Are you a Daredevil or an Archangel? Or a little of both????

Twittling My Keys

I noticed a lot of people pass the time by doing different things. I twittle my keys because it is a good way to "kill" time. Nothing says Lovin' like a good smile and a decent way make time fly. Oh well, some people find it annoying... They need to grow up and be less irritated by someone walking by twittling their keys. They need to find a hobby that shuts out that key sound maybe a walk in the park may help... Grow up.

Diablo 3

Odd over the Christmas holiday I fell for the imagery of Diablo 3. Years ago, I would not have even noticed this game even though I always looked at its imagery and thought Awesome!!!! So I started to fashion armour based on the Dungeon and Dragons games from before this was available. I used some imagery from theology and some video games... so if you would like to see some early images of my armour go to my Twitter page (www.twitter.com/SAPIENFILMS).&nbsp;<div>
The latest version of the armour is not on line so it is good &nbsp;to remember my saying of why am I not golden???

Keep looking up, huh?!

Revealing Your True Nature.

Dumb and stupid will always be dumb and stupid no matter how much it wants to be something different. Why are you trying to be instead of being because you try and in the inside really are that which you believe you should be.

Ketch-up/Catch-up

Sitting in front of a bottle of Ketch-up and needed to voice my concern. Apparently, there was interference with some plans. I changed them and am now on the right path.

Success... Yeah right!

Success: It's not selling out; it's buying in!

Sometimes it's not success you want but achievement which you need and should actually receive.

Sushi with the ladies

So Maria Pagoulatos and Ileana Lopez-Vergne showed up for our meeting about The PACT. We took many snap "shots" while eating sushi. Old issues were discussed while new plans were made about future films. I purposely left the photos of me out.
I wasn't too disappointed that none of the guys showed up.

Dorothy

Athena just became Dorothy.  I know that I am the Tinman. So I need a Scarecrow and a Lion for the mascaraed.
