You may have noticed that we have randomly added you and wondered who we are and why we have taken a sudden interest in you. ( Cineaste and You.. A beginners guide... )
We try to choose people that seem like they would be a good fit. So far we have "chosen wisely" as the film goes. We have just had one person take some sort of odd offense to being added (which we take as inviting people into the discussion. If they don't want to be involved, they just don't have to add back). That one person behaved in a psycho-way (I later checked the age and realized they were very young and probably at that time in life when drama is fun and a part of daily life. That's not something we want in the slightest. So I just deleted their comment (to save our readers from any negativity) and they kept coming at us with different accounts. Geesh!! We just wanted to meet some hip people and talk about groovy films. Dat's all. Lol
But like I said, if we see someone with common interests and or an icon that we think is interesting or thought-provoking, we check out bio page or read a few of their public entries. If we come across someone that seems like they have a killer personality, funny things to say, something quirky or new to bring to the table, a witty way about them or somebody that one or more of us relates to we add them. If they add back, then YAY!! If not, one of us will notice after a little bit of time and just remove them, no harm no foul. All of us that write this blog are artists in different ways. Three of us are musicians, Two of us paint, One makes music-videos and short films, One of us dances, we've all dabbled in photography and sculpting. And we are all bound together by a love or film and art. We generally seek and add those blogs/people in which we can see an artist's spirit. Anyway, WELCOME =)
I shall endeavour to be More Interesting from now in, in that case. ;) My LJ fluctuates between daily posting and long hiatuses and (as you probably noticed) its contents also vary in interestingness depending on my mood and what Real Life throws at me.
But, in any event, I look forward to hopefully participating in some discussions in future. :)
Naw, just be yourself. Everybody is interesting in their own unique way (especially our 'chosen ones', or so we feel). You know what we find interesting? The little old man at the corner shop who's always so deep in thought that it looks like he walked in from another place in time. Or that kid that always draws his stick figures with 6 limbs for some unknown reason. Or that 41 year old mother that claims the night light is for her children but it's really because she is secretly afraid of being alone in the dark. A million amazing people who are beautiful in billions of tiny ways. We just wanna reach out a hand to whatever small percentage we can and say "Hello! How's life going for you? I've had some shitty times but it's getting better. How about you? Seen any good movies?How are you today?"
Even if the answer is "I haven't done a thing all damn day", that would be fine because it's the truth and that's all we ask for. Truth or creative story-telling. We'll take either one ;)
