Carnival Culture Documentary Series
You know, it occurs to me that this Carnival Culture written series that I’ve been working on this year would make an excellent thematic backdrop for a audio-video documentary series. Fits into sort of both Travel and History channel aesthetics on a certain level - if you secularized the viewpoint a little bit. Cable television aside though, I’d be interested in working with video production groups to make this series a reality. Now that I’ve had time to dwell with the subjects and watch the themes evolve alongside modern culture, I feel like I could go back and re-frame the whole thing and have it be a very successful piece of writing. Anyway, thoughts for the future. I need to make notes to myself about certain things. Helps concretize them.

Not that I’m not living this stuff, but I’m also not (yet) living with a tribe in Siberia to learn their shamanic techniques or anything either and documenting it - if you catch my drift. Self-mastery meets travel, history & adventure.

[…] I guess what I’m really thinking about is perfecting how I want my life to go and then fulfilling it and even exceeding it. While I’m really sort of sketched out about where things like “the world” and “the economy” are going, I’m feeling pretty fine about my own life. Things are going well for me right now. I’d like to ramp it up in certain areas and take on bigger challenges, but I want - for right now - to have a stable home base upon which to do it. […]
