Brainwash Movie Festival-Oakland
Posted on July, 23 2010
It's really nice to have news to report! I was just informed that With Anchovies...Without Mamma was programmed to open up the Brainwash Movie Festival in Oakland on August 7th. Brainwash is an incredibly cool Walk In/Drive In Festival. When I read about the festival, I had to submit and now I am so excited to have Mamma be a part of it.
Here is a link to the site. They gave us an awesome and very funny write up. Check it out:
Half-Way, Half-Full
Posted on July, 16 2010
We are at the halfway mark to the 2010 baseball season. When I was watching SNY before the start of last night's Mets-Giants game, a headline came up in regards to the Mets season thus far "The glass is half full". I woke up this morning to see the score 2-0 Giants. My boys blew it.
The NY Mets are in second place, five games back from the Atlanta Braves, and despite great strides forward, still searching. Desperately trying to figure out what it is going to take to get to that next level, to surpass the Braves and take over the NL East. Be it pitching, be it offense, something is most certainly standing between the Metropolitans and the consistency it takes to stay on top. Man, I just can't believe it....Here we go with the Braves again!
It is something you should never do, but without fail, you always look to find yourself inside of your favorite sports club. A cell in an organism that breathes for a championship. When this connection is there, and you look to your team as a mirror, their loss becomes your loss. Deep seated. I ask myself time and time again, am I the NY Mets and what is it going to take to find a way to win? I want desperately for my team to turn it around, to inspire me to turn it around. I've looked upon baseball oh so many times as a distraction from my own personal issues, but also a reminder of what I have to do to get past. It is probably a terrible approach because it creates all too much conflict. It can be highly effective as you learn champions are not born overnight, it is not a sprint but a marathon, and also ineffective at the same time as you realize that prolonged slumps can kill all hope and thrust upon your shoulders more of the same. Frustrations, a lost season, going through the motions knowing that to taste a title you will have to wait till next season.
