Currently:“Lovesickness”
I met Perfect.
He was walking up the street as
I was walking down
With a girl who wasn’t his girlfriend
(She was out of town.)
Wandering into the night, looking for jazz
His unsuspecting smile
Malleable as we met eyes
In that odd chance
Love. Broken love.
And if Perfect loved me back
He would only let on gently
And recoil at his slip
Though I *might* wish
He’d take off mine.
And if Perfect wanted to hold me
The way I dream daily that he *might*
Well then —
Much like me he *might* be
Sentenced to a semi-melancholy life.
Every mark upon his map
Connected with my constellation
And upon seeing his journeys
I almost cried, because
They were my own.
And he *might* just take me
As I am.
And yet, in this instance,
I’m not sure:
Who is the slaughtered
And who is the lamb?
7 Days Away
On September 4, a film whose promotion I’ve put a lot of myself into premiere’s at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia and online. It’s been one of my favorite volunteer projects of all time; I have learned so much from the project and everyone involved.
It’s going to be uniquely awesome moment when we hit play in Atlanta because the whole production has been uniquely crowdsourced under a nonprofit entity and will benefit 5 charities supported by the original cast of Firefly / Serenity. I pass along for your viewing pleasure the trailer for Browncoats: Redemption:
It’s been an honor to be a part of the promotion surrounding this film. It’s been an honor to meet the people who made it actually come together and literally feel their excitement at every turn. They are people who have done something amazingly innovative and I have gotten to know them for the great humans they are and the greater ones they endeavor to be.
I am lucky.
We have a much longer journey ahead to reach our goal of 32,000 donations for DVDs. I hope you will partake in the moment that we have been so very much looking forward to on September 4th at 7PM eastern daylight time by watching the film via live stream at http://BrowncoatsMovie.com and donating to the charities in exchange for a copy of the DVD. Thank you.

I helped get the word out for Tracy during the “I am Free Enterprise” video contest. Yesterday, we found out she came in second meaning a $30,000 reward for her business. That will probably mean more amazing bags and more promotional opportunities during the summer. How awesome! Go, ONA, go!
