I hope all is well with you and yours. I guess we're gonna just blink 2010 away, huh? From the looks of it, this has been an incredible and progressive year for quite a few Chroniclers. Not without some blood, sweat, tears, and life lessons to boot! I am hoping that we stay on this kick and keep the energy moving.
I come to you very excited because I am waiting for my editor so that I can complete the final tweaks of my production reel and then update my website with some cool video clips. Ajajaja. I can't wait for you all to see the magic that's the visual resume. I am so humbled. Recently, I went through my closets to find the footage and was so moved to physically see my progress through the years. I read several essays and journal entries and realized that I've pretty much always whined about something. Although I felt like a failing student and social reject in high school, I was never those things. I've always taken the journey to heart and I need to stop that! But as I look back and reflect on the times I thought I was the 'worst,' I was really dead wrong. I've always been better than good enough...it's so much easier for us to criticize and pick ourselves apart as opposed to poppin' our collars and being happy with who we are in every moment. So I hope that as we set goals, I hope you are also looking at the greatness that is inherently you.
So, I have even better news --- I am sitting at my desk listening to Lance Drummonds' debut album with Andre Cole's next chapter of his online book 'The Unholy Servants,' printed out and ready to go for my evening ride home!
If you do not know who these fine gentlemen are, first off - they are Chroniclers. And secondly (but really firstly), they are really great friends. I call Dre Day my 'mentor #3' because he's always willing to listen and give me great advice. While we worked on The Black Carpet, I harassed him about reading his screenplays and chapters of his book and he always refused. Well months and months later, this baby is online and ready for viewing!!! Andre is releasing one chapter every Monday during the summer. I'm not gonna tell you what it's about...I'd rather you support him on www.theunholyservants.com. :)
Lance Drummonds and I go way back to college talent shows! It's been a good little minute but after perfecting his craft and going back to the drawing board to master his songs and get them nice and crispy for you, his album 'Time and Space' is available online. Go to www.lancedrummonds.bandcamp.com . Please tweet about it, facebook, the whole shabang!
It is with pleasure that I share the good news. I know there are so many accomplishments that are hidden behind your screen names. But please, tell me/us/our family about them so that we can cheer together as opposed to always crying together. LOL.
Love and hugs,
Kris
P.S. By the time I blast the next Chronicle, my reel will be up. It's on and poppington! Tiger Woods ya'll!
P.P.S. The Chronicles of Kris web show may be back in production in the Fall. Stay tuned to these weekly messages!
