I finally watched Don Verdean. Didn’t like it as much as I thought I would but Jemaine was a delight. He is also very sexy but his character is a punk so he doesn’t get the girl. It’s okay he’s won my heart. 😋😁🕺🏻

Back in the saddle/did you miss me/sequel

Same taste, different package! Playing in the sandbox, sometimes you get the urge to eat the dirt. I think it's ok in moderation. Anyway, we're back folks. Straight from the oubliette comes the voice you're dying to hear, it's the one and only it's me. Brain decided to switch to ON mode so here we are. Ego depletion and so forth. Let's get right into it.

I watched the movie Don Verdean last night. There was something about the pacing that inspired me. Like Bukowski, the idea I think with this movie is that every scene and sentence is interesting as a standalone piece, regardless of how it fits into the overall plot. Bukowski called it the JUICE. Often times people struggle with a lack of familiarity in their stories, the formulaic shit people are groomed to watch and read from infancy is what sells, same with pandering to entrenched beliefs. An easy to follow act 1/2/3. Music, dialogue, and camerawork that tells you how to think, that forces a narrative. Snarky clapbacks and quips, inclusivity, explosions, violence, swearing, drugs, food, rainbow squishy ASMR slime, sexy sex, ring the bell, salivate, stimulate. I think this is why people generally lack the patience for movies or stories that don't lead to big satisfying conclusions that scratch the itch they've needlessly let intensify. Dan Brown said that story writing comes with a promise of a satisfying end, that you and the reader sign a contract that states that if you give me your attention, I must submit to your expectations of what constitutes a good story (basically equates subversion with cuckoldry). I disagree, it's this handholding bullshit that narrows our imaginations. True, you shouldn't have to contend with a springed spider jumping out at you in every book, but you shouldn't let your assumptions get in the way of an experience that will likely broaden your horizons more than something formulaic will.

Nothing motivates me to write more than other writers (because they are shit). - Bukowski

Don Verdean's a comedy made by the guy who did Napoleon Dynamite, which also suffered critically (albeit less, especially in hindsight) for the same reasons. While you can say the humor isn't quite your cuppa tea, or you don't get the references, and that's fair, there's honesty to it that you don't see in most movies. Examples: The music doesn't swell up at emotional moments (there's almost no music if any that I can recall). At first glance, judging from the silly attire and zany characters/evangelical setting you'd think these people are all caricatures of grifters, trying to fuck each other over, but as the movie goes on you see the humanity in their motivations as the characters are laid bare. You even see Don's subtle cry for help briefly in one scene, the chapter and verse hanging on the door of his mobile home.

James 1:8 - Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

There's one less than subtle scene where Don says to himself that he only wants to bring people to Jesus, that's why he does all this, but you don't even need that, you see his world, warts and all. He lives in a mobile home despite having his own ministry. He has an understanding of history, referencing Bacon's fabled stash in Nova Scotia. He knows the historical areas around Israel. He understands the laws that gatekeep archeology. You think to yourself watching it, man this guy is really putting a lot of effort into a grift like this, he's not keen to step it up with Boaz and make tonnes of cash, so what keeps him going? He's either one of the most Machiavellian parasites ever, funneling his talents into running an evangelical ministry to get his ego trip (this is possible, but doesn't fit with his demeanor, and really doesn't seem like much of a payoff for the work), or he actually thinks he can run a positive psyop. It's silly but believable enough for a comedy.

So going back to motivation, I think I see where freewriting and a lack of formative training can lead to quality. I want to focus on the JUICE, and from there honesty should bubble forth.

Apparently, I forgot to post this one. It is very religious, which is a bit of a put-off, but starred Sam Rockwell

Afro Nation Portugal was the Celebration of the Summer It’s a music lover’s dream – a three-day music festival set on the luscious beaches of Portimao, Portugal featuring the hottest African artists. A fairytale of 20 something’s came to life last weekend at the 2023 Afro Nation music festival. The roster of talent included megastars Burna Boy, WizKid, Arya Starr, Aya Nakamura, 50 Cent and Davido. This year, featured a new stage dedicated specifically to the sounds of Amapiano artists and fans with vigorous energy deemed the “Piano People Stage.” For any appetite across the landscape of African music, guests could have their musical palate satiated with each set, deep bass thump and swoon of the beautiful voices of African crooners. Photo Credit: ritasxs for Afro Nation. Day One: A bumpy start, an explosive end The festival began with a magical performance by Portuguese-Cape Verdean artist Soraia Ramos, who set the stage ablaze donned in shimmering purple while delivering sweet-sounding Portuguese lyrics met with crowd-pleasing participation. Soraia was later joined by soulful Cape Verdean singer Lisandro Cuxi and the duo set the temperature for the third installment of Afro Nation Portugal – filled with enormous talent and even bigger fandom. As the momentum rose, fans were soon met with silence on the Main Stage as the technical team worked to troubleshoot sound issues that were likely compounded by the blazing temperatures creating a sweltering environment – including the hottest temperatures of the three-day festival. As the schedule lagged, interludes and artist introductions faded and Golden Circle ticket holders — whose access boasted front-row views to the Main Stage, a private VIP bar and bathrooms and limited food options — were sent elsewhere to explore while tech issues and artist setups took place. Photo Credit: ritasxs for Afro Nation.Many guests carried their excitement to the Piano People stage, which provided nonstop vibes throughout the festival surrounded by a variety of food options from some of Portugal’s favorites. And – if you opted for the VIP experience – you could trudge through the deep, white sand to get lined up in the Afro Cuts booth or dolled up in the Afro Spa. The entire venue, which spanned the length of Praia da Rocha beach, was designed to keep festivalgoers drinking, dancing, and feasting. Later in the day, Nigerian singer Nissi, took audiences to new heights with new single “Higher.” With this performance, she stepped out of the shadow of her superstar brother Burna Boy. Shortly after, Ayra Starr came out and performed her deeply personal single “Toxic” and hit singles like “Bloody Samaritan” and “People.” And the the main show came. With no introduction needed, Burna Boy appeared leaving fans clamoring to grab the closest spot near the stage. The crowd rocked to his newest single, “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” followed by Dave’s “Location,” “Last Last” and a crowd-pleasing rendition of “Ye.” It’s impossible to truly appreciate an artist as massive as Burna Boy without seeing him perform live. His smooth voice and commanding posture held audiences captive. Day 2: Wizkid dominates The second day began with the same fanfare without delays and “as many” technical issues. Artists Caminoh and The Compozers, who didn’t make their expected performance from Day One, were added to the lineup. Ms. Banks kicked off the day with her edgy style reminiscent of American artist Meg Thee Stallion followed by Victony, who stopped several times mid-performance to complain about ill-performing microphones and even made a full stop to chastise organizers for providing faulty equipment and for not allowing artists to do a sound check. The show proceeded with Ghanaian artist Black Sherif reenergizing the crowd, performing hits including “Second Sermon.” Nigerian star Asake brought a renewed vigor as he hyped up the crowd with an ambitious, attempted crowd surf that created a viral moment for the fest but left fans bewildered and concerned for the artist. As the Main Stage heated up, the Piano People Stage continued the never-ending party when singer and dancing sensation Tyla took the party to a new level. A noticeably different vibe from the contained Main Stage — DJ Charisse C, Sir Trill, Moonchild Sanelly and many more kept the temperature elevated and bodies moving nonstop. Photo Credit: ritasxs for Afro Nation.Wizkid concluded the day by taking his time to deliver hit after hit, including “Ginger,” “Essence,” and Drake’s “One Dance.” He began center-stage on a massive platform and came closer to the audience with each song, which was met with uncontainable excitement. As things heated up, “Big Wiz” tossed his jacket into the crowd and briefly stopped his performance to convince a male fan to give the jacket to the ladies as intended. Moments later the show was again interrupted by an overzealous fan who Wiz had to instruct to climb down from the camera tower with the threat of concluding the show early. Day 3: The grand finale The next day, festivalgoers slowly filled the beach to party through the conclusion of Afro Nation Portugal. The Main Stage was buzzing shortly after the gates opened with Rotterdam, The Netherlands’s artist “Mr. Magic” Nelson Freitas. Next, the Kenyan band Sauti Sol brought their eccentric, vibrant fashion and smooth sounds which set the vibes nicely for South East London singer/songwriter Gabzy who left the audience smitten. Next, when French singer Vegedream began performing his resounding voice could be heard throughout the festival. One by one, festivalgoers were drawn to the Main Stage where they remained for Nigerian Afropop singer Fireboy DML and his intoxicating tracks “Peru,” “Vibration,” and “Sere.” Shortly after, French artist Booba shifted the mood with a bottle of Hennessy, auto-tune and relentless swag – getting the crowd ready for global entertainment icon 50 Cent to take over the show. Photo Credit: ritasxs for Afro Nation. With much anticipation, crowds lingered near the Main Stage until hearing the blaring voice of none other than Tony Yayo introducing the “Candy Shop” rapper. As he performed hit after hit, 50 stopped several times to admire the Afro Nation crowd. With thousands of 20-somethings rocking to early 2000s classics, 50 had a moment of clarity. He was now admittedly an “old school” artist. Despite his declaration, the crowd was thrilled to rock with the legendary artist and encouraged him to continue to dig into the crates to celebrate his impact on Hip Hop. As his performance concluded, fans swarmed to the Piano People Stage to catch South African DJ Uncle Waffles ahead of the festival’s concluding headliner Davido. As Davido joined the fest for the final performance, it wasn’t lost on him or fans what transpired in these iconic three days. His smooth, inspiring set concluded a festival so important to the artists-providing a global platform to amplify their music and to once again cement the position Afrobeats and its variations have in the music industry. The unique power of African artists to galvanize music lovers from across the diaspora – from more than 120 countries in the case of Afro Nation – substantiates this fast-growing genre as a powerful force. For festivalgoers – Afro Nation delivered a cultural experience devoid of division based on nationality or language with the sole purpose of unifying people from across the African diaspora through one common interest – the universal appeal of African music. https://www.okayafrica.com/afro-nation-portugal-recap/
