hey ink,
did you say bipolar?
hmm. have you heard charles schwab?
the man who got himself millions of dollars
in steel business back in early 1900's?
he was rich for a while.
but he didn't save.
he spent all his money, all his energy,
all his happiness,
then he got bankrupt.
any similarity?
Warm Regards,

Hey buddy ink,
about loneliness.
somewhere in new testament, jesus said
"world will hate you, for you don't
belong to the world.
if you do, world would love you."
on last valentines day evening,
i worked on my stuffs all alone
in starbucks.
it was tough, especially the time
when all the others enjoy their
valentine dinner in fancy restaurants
across the street.
my blogs? nobody reads it,
nobody visits it, nobody comments on it.
why? cuz i speak of the truth,
the truth that they don't like.
if i say what they wanna hear,
they'd love it.
my friend ink,
this world do not know Jesus.
churches?
somewhere in old testament says
"they worship God with their mouths,
but their minds are far away from Him."
in my understanding,
those who seek the truth
need not, should not go to church.
all they need is to read bible
and follow its teaching in lives.
Jesus, unlike common notions,
is a rebel. he said,
"do not think i came to give peace on earth.
i did not come to bring peace, but a sword."
(matthew 10:34)
"you suppose that I am come to give peace on earth?
I tell you, Nay, but rather division"
(luke 14:51)
if you read bible yourself,
you'll find many things that you'd never
thought you'd find it there.
back to loneliness talk.
myspace.com/huhnkie
there, you'll see this lone guy lol
but i chose to be lonely.
cuz i got just way too many works to do.
besides my day job as a miserably
underpaid computer programmer,
after it i came home and study things,
write things, edit things, watch things, etc.
hey, if you write, why not write screenplays?
i'm a startup indie director/producer,
so i may use yours for my future movies ;>
anyhow. here in los angeles, countless
writers, actors, directors arrive each
and everyday with their hollywood dreams,
from all around the world,
from all walks of life, be it 10 year old kid
or 70 year old retiree.
i once had a roommate you came from cuba
to become a director here.
he hated his day job as a waiter and
often felt depressed cuz his career
as a director wasn't going well.
but he moved on and kept working hard,
day and night, during the day as a waiter
in a restaurant, during the night
as a director/editor.
what is your dream, ink?
Hello literary spirit called ink ;>
i really love your poems.
it's anti-verbose, airy, crisp,
and genuine.
"ending my life would be such relief."
i'm there with you bro,
that's how i feel every night.
by the way,
if you mind my 'polluting' your blog space,
let me know-- i'll stop ;>
ok. so why do i feel that way--
these days, my life is such a hell.
during the day, i go for that
miserably underpaying computer programmer job.
when i come home, i work on the movie
that i'm making.
making movie sounds pretty exciting, huh?
well, if you're doing it surrounded by
pretty actresses, it should.
but in this project i'm doing now,
i'm doing it in absolute isolation.
there is no one. zero. around me.
writing, acting, filming, directing,
editing and what not, it's all by myself.
why am i doing this?
i just wanna make a record to myself.
one feature length movie that involves
no one but me-- i liked the idea.
as good as it may have seemed,
as painfully as it actually bleeds my heart,
as you beautifully wrote in your poem.
hey, do you like mustard in your sandwich?
hear what jesus has to say about mustard:
"The kingdom of heaven is like
to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took,
and sowed in his field:
Which indeed is the least of all seeds:
but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs,
and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come
and lodge in the branches thereof."
(Matthew 13:31)
this is what keeps me going.
look. i am absolutely nameless.
nobody knows me. the last film
i ever made is like 5 years ago,
when i was an undergrad in
midwest college, specifically
the univ. of wisc. madison.
i took a video production class there
and made a 10 minute short film
and that was that.
will i become famous with this movie
i'm wrestling with, everynight with
a pack of cigarettes?
honestly, i don't give a damn.
why? money, women, fame means
absolutely nothing to me.
well it'd be nice if it makes me
enough money so i can quit my day job.
but other than that, it doesn't mean much.
once i thought,
"why should i be making films?
what is more worthwhile--
making already happy people happier,
or helping people in desperation
get back into the track?"
well. i chose to do both.
my film is a comedy.
it definitely has comic elements in it
but it's not all about laughter.
if it were, i wouldn't be motivated
to go thru all the shit that i'm
going thru every night, every weekend.
since my day job is 8-5 m-f,
the banker hour job,
i only work on filmmaking during weekday evenings
and weekends, the kinda time
other people would hang out with girlfriends,
family, friends and what not, to relax.
in my life, there is no relax.
no family. no friends. no nothing.
only work. this is why i'm pondering
the same kind of suicidal fantasy
about that 'permanent vacation.'
sorry to be verbose but
i feel like you're my friend
with whom i share things happening in life.
Friendly Regards,
--secretary
