my last wish is that you complete my short film. unfortunately(or maybe quite the opposite) i did not leave any creative leeway in this regard. all that is required is to use the last clip from the camera found near my body at the end of the short film on my computer. please do this and show it to the ones that should see it. this is all I have left to say...
Love,
Aaron
the reward for good work, is more work

notes of events

thursday morning I flew out of Burbank Airport at 7am after just 5 hours of sleep. Could not seem to organize my luggage or thoughts the night before. growing confidence that my producer has organized competently for the adventure ahead. after hauling gear bags through the airport, meeting up with the rest of the crew and driving from Salt Lake City to Park City, UT we filmed our first key interview with the director of programming for the Sundance Film Festival(the guy who picks the films). My body needs rest before it can train so I will not worry about missing any runs today. Satisfied to get organized and rested for some busy days and nights ahead. Woke up to blue over head and white covering the ground. Found a market and picked up some fresh organic foods to eat. I don't mind being the only one on the crew that isn't satisfied getting by on energy drinks and pizza. With a fresh menu and a good 12 hours to adjust to the altitude(7000ft) I went for a 5 mile run on a snowed out bike trail just before the sun set. I enjoy watching the Australian Open and EPL soccer matches in the 3 bedroom condo we have rented when we're not battling traffic and the cold to film in this fantastic little ski town. The kenyan tea bags I brought are keeping me comfortable as we film and edit late into the night. Our first big deadline kept me up until 8 am... after an hour nap I got up to a great response from the client. I stayed up the rest of the day so as not to upset my internal clock and keep some semblance of a routine. It snowed almost all day. After getting a good sleep I got up and went for another 5 mile run through the neighborhood. The roads were icy so I went carefully over some rolling hills. The crew is co-operative but need some spark.

consider this...

the sum of electric charge in the universe has never changed. all energy and therefore matter is 'borrowed'. one theory is that the universe is made up of just one electron charging back and forth through time(quantum electrodynamics).

when the suffering is worse than the dying... the 2nd law of thermodynamics proves that the amount of entropy in the universe always increases. when two atoms react and energy is cast off, there is always energy lost. meaning that the overall count of organized, manageable energy is always decreasing.


 a seed is the container of potential. is it a leaf, or a is it a whole tree, or a flower, or a bee, or a seed that comes from the fruit of that tree? Is the seed the same as just another seed or is it all of things?

Smile when you run.

Clue # 243: it's easier to climb up then it is to climb down.

Nature is starting slow ending fast. Easing your way into it. Running far and slow to become quicker.
Science is burning fat rather than sugar by running below your anaerobic threshold.
Nature is running barefoot and strengthening the body against gravity.
Science is iron transporting oxygen to cells from the lungs. Vitamins and minerals assisting I'm the break down of sugars metabolically.

Science tries to overstep its bounds in helping overcome nature by attending to outthink it. This is not possible. Science is only the understanding of nature and a map to how we can live in harmony with it amidst our industrial lives.
