August Already?

I had ideas. I had plans. Things that were going to ready and on Amazon by August.

Reality has gotten in my way.

Again.

Anybody else?

Life in Solitary (Full Report)

(I found this under "drafts" from the beginning of the confinement. I decided to post it, despite being over a week late.) I'm trying to get rolling for production. The Confinement has me living in solitarty and getting judgemental a**ho**s judging my reaction to it. The Lockdown is not really any different to me. I have only left my house one time in the past month, for a doctor's appointment. I have a long list of people who say they are "going to," but don't. Going to visit. Going to help me with a problem at the house. And they stopped appearing long before the threat of plague was on the horizon. i have someone who bring by groceries, once a week, spends 10 minutes talking and is sometimes back for a quick visit. it doesn't equal the "hour in the yard" and interaction with food delivery to a cell in real prison solitary. A friend had two of his sons come over to spend the night, twice in two weeks. They help with chores aro...

The Right Move

-
Every so often you make the right move. It feels nice. I've known for a long time that the future of the MDJS project would be in video for YouTube and beyond. I know how to use iMovie, but it really isn't the right tool for what I want to do. Simple, but by definition it doesn't live up to the effects of what I see in my mind as the right path to take. I was getting competent with Premiere, but no longer have access to the program. For a while it appeard that Edenlive would be the right program, but I have complications with my Linux access and it doesn't have a Mac port for me to use (I don't know how to complie). I've been looking at variious editors, trying them out, leaving them for one problem or another. A new review of modern video editing programs hit my in box and so I look at it And immediately was drawn to one video editor that has a free entry version that is not a free, limited preview. This is the full program, functional with many featu...

My Unanonymous Life

I will update the blog at least once a week but might do more than one. We shall see. I'm never ashamed to say I am a person involved with long-term recovery from alcohol (primarily) and drugs (hey, it was the 70s). Thirty-four years and counting. So far. I have no standing nor do I represent AA or any of the other Twelve Step Program (there are over 70 addressing various substances and behaviors with the step method). If you don't like me, don't worry - I am just a channel for other people and their words - some of which you might like. A big part of maintaining what I've found has been to give it away. To that end, with several other people involved with the same journey put together a collection of writings from the 1940s to the 21st Century. Where there were living families or estates, we went to the source for permission. We wrote and revised through an almost embarrassing first edition to this. Which stands on its own. (Quite well, too.) Respect for the auth...
