Blog 8 Current mood: weird
Category: Blogging

Ok, weird.
My last blog was so...I don't know how to describe it. I wasn't in any kind of 'save-the-world-through-my-words' mood so I have no idea why all that came out. Maybe I was bored and I wanted to stir something, emotions to make me, you know, feel something. Does that make sense? Aaanyway. So I am getting more involved in the 'Southern Gothic Production' company - not personally but more emotionally invested. Has anyone realised yet that i have an addictive personality? And more importantly do you think it will go away?Basically SGP is a company formed by Hilarie Burton (actor from OTH) and Kelly Tenney and from what I understand they are in the business of producing movies. Not just another company but its specific to North Carolina and it's growing industry. They are latching on to the booming industry of southern film projects and doing it with flair. The family-style approach, surrounding themelves with friends (writer Nicholas Gray) , fellow actors (Austin Nichols) and the occasional internet strangers (their fans who comment along..) creates a stragley safe world.

The thing that's got me is those commenters. God. Why do people have a comment about everything. Most of what these people say is positive I'll admit, because it's not going to be know to anyone that isn't a fan of Hilarie's or isn't active in Carolina's film scene. Comments means that its catching attention, and thus maybe funding and a following. All good things. But still - it's just so damn confusing why people think their opinion means something (myself included) to these stragers. And yet they take it with good spirit, thankig people for their effort is spreading the word about thier company, thanking for their encouragement and comments and indulging us with blog and vlog of all kinds! It hardly seems fair. And I love it.

Call Me Crazy, but god I love when famous people can look down from their perch of superiority (which I promise they have) and do something wild, like commicate to people they don't know and then.....make them feel special and involved. Weird.

And another thing. Its not just enough that they are keeping total stragers up tp date with the on-goings of the company but also blogging personal things about their days, opinions, starting a book club, and all round being generous with their talent to let simple people like us get to be a step nearer..a step higher.

P.s I don't have low-self esteem issues, in fact, prides a problem for me, but if these people weren't interesting or doing something special...there would be no commentaters. This blog is a blur of frusterated awe for the people involved in SGP. I am both jelous at the fun that they get to call their day jobs and also excited to see its growth to say I was their at the begining, before Hilary and Kelly were to busy, with a zillion movies in production, to write a blog or post a video. My hope is that they will growth, prosper, and develop inspirational cinema while educating us about the complexities of human understanding.

P.s.s. Fall Out Boy mentioned OTH when someone asked what their fave show was at the Q&A session last night - I nearly jumped out of my skin from excitment, and All American Rejects rocked harder than FOB ..maybe I'm just bias..but overall 3/5 for the night!

LOTs of Love, Light and Peace.....Shazz
