Keep waking up happy but as the day progresses hate seeps into my heart and gives way to rage.A wet leaf lands on my face and it breaks my back.Body contorts with anger as my muscles flex hard, trying to burst.Speech fails me, aggression pulses through my veins, and I am lost for hours.Where does my compassion go?How does one's heart grow so dark in times of illumination?Holding myself in contempt of courtship?Do I not deserve happiness?Or is that happiness just not strong enough for the ugliness I've tried to hide inside?Making myself smileMaking myself smileMaking myself smileMaking myself..
If this world is an illusion that I stole for a day then I must make this pain..but perhaps the illusion is more a delusion.Perhaps I rock back and forth helplessly loitering in my misplaced blame.No, I am the creator in my brain.Time to rewire.
Love and respect myself.Love and respect my lover.Trust.Self Esteem.Opportunity.I'm sorry for what I've done but we have no time for apologies.No time to remember what I keep forgetting.

Nine Lives

This beautifully painful film picks at the scabs on the soul of the collective consciousness. One continuous shot, separated only by title cards, reminds us that our skin is merely a perceived boundary. This all-star cast pulls off Garcia's conversational drama perfectly; oozing pure emotion leaving you surprised, laughing, crying, etc. Each new scene gives a life lesson. Prisoners, lost lovers, all of us wounded humans yet painfully in love with some facet of life. Well composed. All the cinematic elements push the boundaries until this story reveals our discomfort in looking at reality. I may be biased (because these ghosts dragged chains very familiar to me) but painfully beautiful if you release yourself from the confines of the prison of perception, adjust your lens, and see.

My first attempt at a review for class. We had five minutes to write something that could be used for a short newspaper like publication. I'm obviously not writing for the average viewer here but its honestly how the movie made me feel.

Jeff, Who Lives at Home

Everyone should go see Jeff, Who Lives at Home. If the Camera technique bothers you, I think you should take a closer look :) Written and directed by Jay & Mark Duplass. There is always something comforting about seeing brothers come together to produce something.. Someone told me that once. These brothers are no different. In writing, directing, and their actors on screen (Jason Segel and Ed Helms play brothers) these brothers produce something beautiful. I hope to make films like this someday. Funny, thought-provoking, dramatic, a careful use of the cinematic language.. Simply put, a must see. A standard I think other film makers should strive for.
KC FilmFest BS Prices @ the AMC Downtown

It is too friggin expensive. Wish I could go. Want to see the smaller indie films that are supposed to be there but I guess I'll just have to wait for.. I don't know. How does one see movies legit these days? Redbox?! Yuck. I like the Plaza Cinemark but I heard a rumor today that nobody, at least racist old people, want it around anymore. Apparently it attracts the wrong crowd. I like it. Its only $6. I see all my movies there. Go suck on an egg old farts. Don't let 14 y/o children intimidate you. There is a fuggin cop on every corner. Though, parents should stop dropping their kids off on the Plaza as if it were a daycare for preteens. Hitting puberty in public, tryna show how tough you are etc is not good when we're talking already scared old white people. Hope the rumors aren't true.
UPDATE: AMC Theatres KC FilmFest 2012
To contact us Click HERE
Its official I guess.. I've seen the film festival advertised as "AMC Theatres" KC FilmFest 2012.. I guess they're sponsoring it or w/e but still, its too expensive for me to attend as a student so I'm "boycotting" it :)
Gonna still try to hit up the parties.. unless they have an outrageous cover charge too.
I don't want to seem like a hater, its just that I think these sky-rocketing movie prices have a direct correlation with people choosing to download pirated versions. I love going to see films and I don't want to go broke doing so. $20 a person is too much.

State of Illinois - shorting Funding obligations to agencies serving people with developmental disabilities | June 21, 2012

Below is information from a few different sources...

The News-Gazette article by Debra Pressey, staff writer
WASHINGTON — A national organization is calling on U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to investigate the action being taken in Illinois that will short agencies serving people with developmental disabilities for one month of services provided in the current fiscal year ending June 30.
"Not only is such action morally unacceptable, we assert that it is in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Supreme Court Olmstead Decision, as well as federal law and regulation governing the Medicaid program," states a June 20 letter to Sebelius from the National Association of County Behavioral Health and Developmental Disability Directors.
The organization is calling for the investigation in response to a June 18 letter sent to agencies by Kevin Casey, director of the Division of Developmental Disabilities at the Illinois Department of Human Services.
The letter states Illinois can't pay for one month of services in the current fiscal year for day programs, child group homes, community living facilities, therapies, equipment, training and individual support services advocacy, and will be deferring payments and services into the new year after the new budget is finalized.
Providers were also warned to expect ongoing delays in payment at the comptroller's office.
Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka said she will prioritize payments for programs serving the developmentally disabled starting immediately in the new fiscal year, but warned the unpaid bills to hospitals, businesses, schools and service agencies awaiting payment at her office now total $4.4 billion.

(NEW): In a statement released Wednesday, Januari Smith, spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Human Services, said some service providers will experience a brief delay in payments due to insufficient funding in the Department of Human Services budget. “Payments will be processed in 11 days when the new fiscal year begins,” she said. “Providers are encouraged to continue to provide these vital services through the remainder of the fiscal year without interruption. Service providers will be receiving another letter making clear that payment will be received once the new fiscal year begins and that this is not an indication of reduction of services but rather a short payment delay.”
