It's January 4. 2012.

It's been a while since I blogged. To be honest I'm not sure I had much to say. I was working on multiple projects and putting all my energy into them. As a matter of fact I ended the year by giving a tribute video to my family which included photos, videos, and memories from the beginning. If I do say so myself it is beautiful and may be one of the greatest things I have ever made for many reasons. Also, I just handed off the final version of "Trilby" to the singer Mike Acerbo yesterday. He is very excited by the video we collaborated on together. I am too. It's beautiful.

So Frank: Great end to 2011. Great beginning to 2012.

When the ball dropped at midnight I was with some of my favorite people in the world dancing around like a crazy person. Having fun. I looked up at the television screen and casually said to my friend Brian, "We're in the greatest city in the world. All eyes are on us." He later told me the sentiment made him emotional... as it should in retrospect. We really are in the greatest city in the world; a city that draws greatness to itself. If this is not a shared feeling then New York is not for you. Get out.


So it's taken a few days to really get on track for the new year. I met my deadline for my latest video which will officially release at Xes on Tursday Jan 12..... at 8pm !!!!! I cleaned my entire apartment. My laundry is clean. I even went through 8 years of all my old paper work and shredded anything that could be shredded which for me was everything. Hope nothing too important was in there. :) That took A MINUTE. My favorite pair of converse have gaping holes in the soles but I'm not too bothered by it. Just can't wear them when it rains.... which I did a few days ago and now THEY SMELL SO BAD!!!!! I washed them but even so they still kinda reek. 

So it really is a fresh start for me. 

Oh I forgot to mention I'm practicing Abstinence for the time being. This is in hopes of venturing further into finding happiness. It has become very clear to me after the past two years that sex has not brought me any closer to bliss; quite the opposite in fact. Keep in mind I've been FORTUNATE enough to experience love during sex and after doing a lot of "leg work" I've come to the conclusion that making love > having sex. And to be clear, I don't find anything wrong with having a lot of sex or being a person who has many partners, because deep down we're all just trying to figure out what fuels us. We're all sluts on some level. It goes along with that age old saying "Let he among us with out sin cast the first stone." Who ever said that first... really knew what they were talking about.

So I'm starting fresh. I'm dedicating the year to spreading love, REAL LOVE, and the first person I'm spreading it to is me. 

Get into it.

  2. As a recipient of your family video Frank, I gotta tell you, it was the best gift any of us got this year—a sweet reminder of what's important in life. For me, at exactly the right moment. I loved that you used the music from the disc I sent you. I think of you a lot listening to it in the car. The lyrics are so positive, a rare thing these days, it gets my head full of sunshine and Wyatt singing in the mornings. Wish I had your camera on him last night as we watched that video for the 6th or 7th or 10th time and Wyatt said "Uncle Frank is the best uncle in the whole world!" (Jumping up and down...pumping his fists). I'm so glad he gets to spend so much time with you and if he turns out anything like you I'll be the proudest mother on the planet. Love you. XO E
