you dont have to wait for more instructions; no one makes a monkey out of me.

Ideas for the one shot-

Intense, to only have one shot; it adds a lot of pressure. It seems the simpler the better, the easier not to mess up. On a very fast side note I think all mess up’s are actually fate once all is said and done. But anyways, here is a list of things I would like to see in the one shots: gnomes, fireworks, Martians, dancing, giant insects, polar bears,
Animal suits in general, hysterical laughter, leprechauns, ray guns, President Bush, Dick Cheney, bubbles, fire, acrobatics, mirrors, and anything at all that is musical in any way. Ideally the one shot could feature all these things, but it might get in the way of keeping it simple. Although, there is a type of entertainment that results from the failure of complex things, not to mention the glory of accomplishing them.
It would be ironic to shoot some kind of competition where a person only had one shot- like one of those half time shows from sports game where the competitor must make the half court shot for 100 billion dollars. It be a one shot documentary. That reminds me of an episode of Upright Citizens Brigade where this kid has a chance to win 1,000,000 dollars for kids with cancer, but he ends up missing the shot- the organization decides to take 1,000,000 dollars away from kids with cancer. They give him a second shot, but of course he misses again. “Oh Timmy, you don’t want to take money away from kids with cancer, do you?” The simple fact is no one does, which makes the bit funny.

Occasionally people glow. The happiness of their souls forces photons out their bodies into the atmosphere. Positive rhythm is the happiness that makes the glow, the things they know is the happiness they show. Good film captures the glow, because what we know is what they show so you know.

Do you think there‘s an equivalent to a visual rhyme? Similar sounds, similar colors. Things that groove- you already got the idea from the last stanza so lets fit something that flows off the history into le future. A continuous link of good fitting ideas- clever transitions, respectable plot lines, interesting facial expressions… cartwheels.

I like to see things that are fun. People having fun, joy, smiling, flowers with faces on them. Quirky ridiculousness; happiness is more than a face you make, it’s a feeling too. Keg stands; I would like to see keg stands in the one shot. In fact, I would like to see Aliens doing keg stands. For the record Microsoft word, a recent authority on spelling denotes the words “keg stand” as two words, not one.

Are ducks quirky because they quack? Webbed feet and billed faces make me love awkward people. It takes creativity to break the out of the norm. Even animals make mistakes, in fact, they embarrass themselves. I like it when nature is goofy.

F: presidential debates, cheaters, people who want to tamper with the election, total slackers, Sarah Palin, bankers, bankers, bankers, people who say WWIII is on the way and theres nothing we can do about, people who don’t want peace, money for a profit in the sense of greed, not having enough hours to the day. Apparently you only sleep for a third of your life, I bet we still dream for half of it. God is love, don’t you forget it. Apparently I’ve lost the ability to brainstorm in an organized manner. In music it would be called a lack of phrasing. Anything goes!
