we are all ANONYMOUS storytellers inventing new ways to tell ancient stories
a Fraud, a Fantasy? the new film ~ ANONYMOUS ~ opening today, explores this… the film looks a fun romp into fantasyland, never-the-less. I believe Shakespeare wrote his plays. some of Shakespeare’s tales were modern (in his times) versions of classic stories. as many already know i have adapted and intend to adapt even more of his works, those ever-classic tales… because there are no new ideas, merely new ways to present them and new generations to read, watch & experience them~snb

recurring dream of my brother brian sutherland bruce
last night i had another one of my dreams about my youngest brother brian.
in my dream, he was in another serious car accident.
at the hospital he awoke and became fully conscious
like he was before his first accident
the doctors said the second accident
knocked him back into this world
and out of the semi-consciousness
the first accident had caused.

memoirs_still in my hideaway, ghostly dreams
my eX sat up from where he was laying
on an old mattress
next to a big over-stuffed backpack
in the middle of the floor
in a cement walled room
adorned only by a small high window
with burglar bars on it.
.
he looked weary
as tho he’d been physically, and mentally, traveling
a rough, long, hard, and dusty journey.
he had on a dread-lock type hair covering wig
which slipped off to reveal tinfoil on his head
when he looked up at me.
.
his bare torso and arms were covered with interesting black ink tattoos
in a hieroglyphic and iconic style,
with a few words in various languages,
vague names, and a few dates interspersed
between maori & african & celtic motifs.
.
the body art started low on his waist,
wrapping & snaking up & around his chest and back
then splitting and traveling down each of his arms.
he revealed it was “his story”
and mumbled that the tattooing & the story were not finished ~ yet.
