Well good evening everyone, I am a bit late in arriving to my new home today, but here I am and so happy to be celebrating my FIRST MONTH - and on the FIRST DAY OF THE NEW MONTH, with everyone here on the #IAmAliveChallenge in this fantastic community created by @ErikGusstafson- known by one and all as @Flaxz on the #HiveIsAlive and if you want to know more about who we are and how to join in our family full of friendship, fun and a great appreciation for still being alive, then please check out Erik's original post here. @flaxz/glmrrjya and don't hesitate to come on in and say hello!
So I'm a bit tired today cause I had a very late night (early morning) having a great and completely accidental chat online with a fantastic guy by the name of @felixxx last night.
Now how does a person have an accidental online chat at 3am with a strange guy on the other side of the world you ask?
Well all because of the #hive and #discord. And even though we were complete strangers, it turns out that we were both once in exactly the same place at the same time!
Imagine if we passed each other on the street and smiled at each other as we walked past!
So I say accidental, but I think that it was actually quite serendipitous and may even end up being very fortuitous!
And I'm also a bit late today, because when I did finally close down my computer about 4am, I actually checked my emails and saw a notification about a development funding contest for a genre film and since I have exactly what they want, I have spent all afternoon reviewing and rewriting my development documents, as well contacting my key creatives to get their updated CV'S to me as the deadline is this MONDAY!
I wrote this original story in 2011 and over the years, developed in a short film, then a feature length (but haven't looked at it since about 2016) but I still like it and I know that it's going to knock the socks of the box office when it hits the big screens everywhere!
So somehow I managed to get my brain into gear to get a start on it, but need to do more work on it tomorrow.
Sneak preview of the poster that I made for it a few years ago so don't forget peeps, as with all of my photos, poetry and other things that I upload here, this is fully internationally IP copyright protected!
Anyway, a few very sharp looking characters that I have met tonight on the #Hive in the #IAmEngagedChallenge and that is one very awesome @brian-rhodes who presents another outstanding way to utilise this brilliant platform we call the #HiveIsAlive here in his video @brian-rhodes/hive-on-and-up
And then there's the great #Hivean by the name of @worldcapture who authored this post about round Nr.4 of the contest series on the #photofeedcommunity about Wildlife photography is a genre of photography concerned with documenting various forms of wildlife in their natural habitat @photofeed/photofeed-contest-4-people-photography which might be a great platform for some our our IAmAliveCommunity members to join into.....
And @kalemandra wrote a beautiful little story to go with a wonderful series of unique art for you to gaze into here @kalemandra/my-spirit-duck and I think that they look like ancient al frescos in Italy or somewhere that have had many versions painted on top of each other and are now peeling off, revealing each individual layer underneath, but fusing them all together at the same time. Either way, they are beautiful and she has created magic here.
And then I met @andrianna, who like me, finds inspiration everywhere and doesn't like wasting time.
Here she is in a car creating, which serves to prove that you can do anything you want anywhere you are. @andrianna/the-road-is-always-inspiring The only thing that stops you is you.
After a long and very enjoyable conversation with a stranger last night who became a new friend on the #Hive, I would like to introduce you to @felixxx who sounds like he's a very technologically talented guy, among other things...and you can see his profile and all of the insightful posts here @felixxx
So I hope that you take the chance to meet my new friends and enjoy their talents as much as I have.
Now, I'm actually going to try to have an early night tonight, but since it's already midnight....haaaaaa 🤣
So on that note, I leave you with as always, an original photo that I have taken somewhere along the line and wish you all wonderful days and nights, safe from the pandemic and every other ailment out there.
This photo is of the 'fireballs' a fire show generated on the Southbank river walk from the Crown Casino. It looks great, feels beautiful and warm, but unfortunately claims a lot of our #featheredfriend victims as the fireballs explode out so quickly, so many of the birds flying around there are not able to divert from their flight over the flame path quick enough.
This is how I feel with so much creativity bursting to get out of me all of the time to have a massive impact! 😂
