For the Red Sea Pedestrians & DePhoMo 17 in General Mental Anesthesia

Yesterday I was trying to help my mom by changing her sheets and all I did was pull off the fitted sheet and because of the prednisone withdrawal I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. My arms were so physically exhausted I couldn’t even lift them. I could only take shallow breaths while bent over in pain. This lasted several minutes & continued happening at the slightest bit of physical labor.

It sucks!

Let’s change the subject.

Christmas is 1 day; and growing up it always confused me as to why there was a song about the 12 Days of Christmas. (I understand it now) but I thought since Chanukah is in actuality 8 days long that we were deserving of a similar song.

I wrote this some time ago, but ‘tis the time of year to share.

”The 8 Days of Chanukah”

On the 1st day of Chanukah Judah gave to me: A menorah in the shape of a tree.

On the 2nd day of Chanukah Judah gave to me: Two spinning dreidals, and a menorah in the shape of a tree.

On the 3rd day of Chanukah Judah gave to me: Three shots of Kedem, 2 spinning dreidals, and a menorah in the shape of a tree.

On the 4th day of Chanukah Judah gave to me: Four Yamulkas, 3 shots of Kedem, 2 spinning dreidals, and a menorah in the shape of a tree.

On the 5th day of Chanukah Judah gave to me: F-I-V-E chocolate coins… 4 yamulkas, 3 shots of Kedem, 2 spinning dreidals, and a menorah in the shape of a tree.

On the 6th day of Chanukah Judah gave to me: Six guilt trips, 5 chocolate coins… 4 yamulkas, 3 shots of Kedem, 2 spinning dreidals, and a menorah in the shape of a tree.

On the 7th day of Chanukah Judah gave to me: Seven potato latkes, 6 guilt trips, 5 chocolate coins… 4 yamulkas, 3 shots of Kedem, 2 spinning dreidals, and a menorah in the shape of a tree.

On the 8th day of Chanukah Judah gave to me…

8 Burning candles…
7 Potato latkes…
6 Guilt trips…
- F-I-V-E Chocolate coins…
4 Yamulkas…
3 Shots of Kedem…
2 Spinning dreidels…
… and a menorah in the shape of a tree.

This however is my favorite version of the song.

So Happy Puganukah to all my Red Sea Pedestrians out there and to the rest of you…Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanza and a general blah blah blah… don’t forget to tip your waiters and bartenders.

DePhoMo 17 - Shadow or Light

SHADOW

Nosferatu. I did the sfx & photography for this Vampire themed transmedia production.

Lots of shadow play here in this theatrical production about exorcism. I don’t always act, but when I do, I often where hooded robes! lol. (I haven’t written an entry about this play yet, hopefully I’ll get on that soon, I’m overdue).

In the warehouse back when I was in a metal band. Best time of my life!

LIGHT

Filming a scene for a movie in the middle of the night.

Utilizing multi-colored back lights for this promo shot.

Shot a zombie themed public service announcement with some of my home made corpses. (They don’t like the light).
