I hope all of you had a great labour day weekend. I took the time, as I mentioned, to go to a cottage. It was very relaxing but also very motivating. I could not help but sit there and feel that I want to be able to do this every weekend. I want to own my own cottage where I can go to unwind at my discretion. Somewhere in the woods and near a lake would be ideal. I truly want this very bad. So instead of having a completely relaxing weekend, I ended up getting pretty fired up about my pursuit to act as my career. I was with friends and hitting the Brome fair, and just couldn’t help but think “why am I here?†“What am I doing wrong?†These things haunt me. If anyone has suggestions, I am all ears.
I watch Rocky for the first time last night. I always thought I had seen the whole series but quickly realized my exposure started with Clubber Lang in part three. I know the series has a rap of being cheesy and predictable. But I invite you to go and watch the first movie. This story is about a guy who never got a break and isn’t the smartest or the fastest but he has a lot of heart. This role may be the misconception as to why some people think Sylvester Stallone is dumb in some way. Well he sure as hell wrote a kick ass script with the first installment of Rocky. You can’t help but sympathize with his character the whole time. The adversity he overcomes in every facet of his life, that you can achieve anything with hard work and determination. It is truly a great film. It is also very well acted. If you have had hard times in your life, then you can relate to this film.
Just watching that film and replaying the past weekend in my mind, brought so many things to mind. I want a better life for not only my family, but my friends and my immediate family. I want to be able to devote time to everyone. I also realize I need to act to stay sane. I love it more than any possible job in the world. I think I’m going to get some copies of some films I made with friends and put them on the website.
So enough about my dreams. This weekend was awesome. My niece showed me what a true belly flop looks like while wearing a bikini. It was spectacular. Then my niece and my daughter decided to do tandem jumps which brought us the “Cherry Jump†where the girls hold hands and the “Avocado†which really doesn’t make sense and I still can’t get the reference but it was very funny to say the least. I was able to witness a projectile bowel movement from a cow almost as tall as I am (6’2â€) and a waterfall of urine from another giant cow. I saw a prize winning cow and I and I am still confused what it takes to win best cow. We saw a huge rabbit and I got a 30 minute massage for 25$ and it was quite relaxing. The kids made me go on the 1001 Nights ride (Magic Carpet) and the guy running it decided to give us the extended, can make you vomit, session. He almost won. I had to ask my daughter if she slipped him a twenty to try and make me barf. Sunday it rained all day and was wonderful as we were able to sit through a spectacular thunderstorm while eating a mammoth breakfast and spent the rest of the day playing cards while the girlfriend made incredible lasagna and all in all just taking it easy.
A truly great weekend. You are invited to share what you did this past weekend. I would be honoured to read it.
