Part 1 - Creative [Kre] - ay - [tiv]

This is a story of a girl named Acadia...

“Welcome to the set.” Taylor said quietly. It seemed as if he was as nervous as I was. “Thanks. Where are we headed?” I asked. “To make – up and then the photo shoot. Are you as nervous as I am?” he asked. “Yeah, which is weird, because you’re used to it.” I said. “Yeah, true. I don’t know what’s going on with me. I guess I feel a little intimidated.” He said. “That’s sweet. Really sweet. Who all is going to be there?” I asked. “And what is the photo shoot about?” I finished, shoving my hands in my sweatshirt pockets. “I think us, Ashley, Nikki, Peter, Kellan, and Alex.” He said. “Sweet. Man, I’m so nervous.” I said. “So, how did you get the gig to compose all the scores for the movie?” he asked. “I tried out, believe it or not. I guess they liked a piece that I made enough.” I said smiling. “Wow, how much time will you have to spend on that?” Taylor asked.

I was still in shock that I was standing next to him. “Once we wrap up filming, I’ll go and work with the orchestra. Hopefully, I can start getting stuff put together in spare time, but I don’t think I’ll have spare time.” I said smiling. “Probably not.” He said smiling. We laughed together and he quickly opened a door for me. “Welcome. This is the make - up room.” He said. I stopped, and looked around and sighed. “Wow. How did you feel when you were first starting? Especially when you were younger. The shark boy and lava girl years?” I asked. “I don’t know. I still get nervous. Like I am right now.” He said. “Well, it’s an honor to be with the coolest werewolf here.” I said.

“I heard that.” A voice said. Alex Meraz walked up and looked at us. “You know, that’s a very bad first impression. Holy Shit, excuse my French, but you. You’re you.” He said. “I’m me?” I said smiling. “Wow, I think I’m star struck.” Alex said. Taylor nodded in agreement. “I feel the same way.” “You’re Acadia Johnson, the youngest composer, and the new composer for the movie.” he asked. “Oh guys, thanks. I appreciate it. Really, but I don’t need any special treatment. I just hope I’m going to fit in, and we’ll be able to make it look like a family so fast.” I said. “I think it’ll go pretty fast. The girls are fans, they’ve been listening to your music for a long time, and it can be difficult to warm up to Nikki and Ashley, and the others.” Alex said smiling. “Oh great. This isn’t helping.” I said. “Welcome to the family,” Alex said laughing. I looked to him and sighed. “Thanks?” I asked. He laughed and opened up his arms to offer a hug. I walked to him, and he gave me a hug. Taylor joined in, and then we sat and waited.

For some reason, the make – up artists weren’t there yet, and the rest of the cast that was coming to the shoot wasn’t there. In what seemed forever, my nerves finally stopped eating at my insides, and then they started to come back in waves as the rest of the cast I was meeting for the photo shoot came in. First it was Kellan Lutz, then Ashley Greene, and after her, another two of my favorite actors, Peter Facinelli and Chaske Spencer.

“Who’s your friend?” Peter asked putting his hand on my shoulder. He gave the same reaction that Alex did when he came in. “Shit, you’re the composer. You’re Acadia?” he asked. “That’s me, and of course I know who you are, it’s nice to meet you Mr.…” “Peter. Please.” He said cutting me off. I extended my hand and we shook hands for a second, and then the photographer, director and make – up artists came in to the room in a hurry. “Okay. You’re all here. Good. Everyone. This is Acadia Johnson. She’s going to be playing the part of Ness. She’s also the composer for all the scores in the movie. I’m sure you know who they are, but there’s Alex, Nikki Ashley, Peter, Kellan, Jackson and Chaske. We’re sorry we’re late, but get in a chair, and we’ll get going.” David said walking towards me. I smiled and extended my hand. “It’s nice to meet you,” he said before I could say the same thing he did. “Thanks. It’s an honor to meet you.” I said smiling. I walked to a free chair, in between Nikki and Ashley, and sat down. I had never realized i had just strictly sat myself down between two girls who would be my best friends. They both smiled at me. “So, how are you feeling?” Nikki was the first to ask. “A little nervous.” I said looking down to my phone, and then up to her. “Okay, I lied, very nervous. This is the first time. This is so weird.” I said.

Coming soon. What happens next?

Portuguese Sweet Bread

1 1/4 cups very warm milk 1 cup sugar
1 stick unsalted butter (room temperature) 1 teaspoon salt
2 packages active dry yeast 1 teaspoon sugar
3 eggs, beaten 5-6 cups all purpose flour
12 uncooked eggs (in shell) 1 egg
1 teaspoon water

Mix one cup of very warm milk (should feel slightly warm when a drop is placed on the inside of your wrist) with 1 cup sugar, 1 stick of unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer with the paddle attachment.


Sprinkle the yeast over the remaining warm milk (in a separate bowl or cup). Add 1 teaspoon sugar. Stir until dissolved. Set aside until yeast is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, beat eggs until foamy; add eggs and yeast mixture to milk/butter/sugar mixture.

Beat in 5 cups of flour, gradually adding 1 cup at a time until a soft dough forms. Change to dough hook. Knead 5-8 minutes with machine. Turn out onto a clean work surface and continue to knead by hand 1-2 minutes, until dough is smooth. Butter or oil the inside of a non-metallic bowl and place dough inside, turning over once so that dough is coated and won't dry out. Cover with a clean damp towel or plastic wrap, then place in a warm place, free from any drafts.

Allow to rise for about 90 minutes, or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down. Turn out, again, onto a clean work surface. Divide dough evenly into 12 round pieces and form buns 3/4 inch thich. Arrange on 2 buttered cookie sheets. Make a hollow depression in the center of each with the back of a tablespoon. Press an uncooked egg, gently into the depression. Roll remaining dough into two long thin log shapes and cut into 12 pieces (each). Form each into a thin strip, 6 inches in length. Place two strips over each egg, in criss-cross fashion, being sure to tuck in the ends under the bun.

Allow to rise again for about 45-90 minutes or until doubled in bulk [depends on the temperature in the room.] Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat an egg with 1 teaspoon of water to make a wash; use mixture to gently brush tops of risen buns. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes or til golden. Remove to wire rack to cool. Brush lightly with melted butter.

Never Lose Faith!

We never really lost faith in our culture,

but then modern society seems to think otherwise...

What big teeth you have!

"The better to eat you with!"

“The art of clowning involves much more than the slapstick and oversized shoes of the traditional circus clown. The character of The Fool is an essential ingredient of human society - a universal archetype found in some form in all cultures and in all times.” From Philosophy of a Clown by Jan Henderson

PROVOKING BEAUTY:

.beau.ty

.byuti [byoo-tee]

–noun, plural -ties.

1.

the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind, whether arising from sensory manifestations (as shape, color, sound, etc.), a meaningful design or pattern, or something else (as a personality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).

You know, this portrait provokes so many thoughts in me, so many questions, .....

but I can’t find the answers...

I want to list them all, but I won’t even try, the list would be far too long and I would never find the answers anyway, ... at least not the ones I’m looking for. You see, I live in a land with so many resources, natural and man-made, where they still call us the third World. It makes me wonder, but then they seldem tell the full truth about anything here. I just came back from the Avenida Paulista after a long day in meetings. This Avenue represents Brazil’s financial heart and probably accomodates some of the most expensive property per square metre in the World. Believe me there’s very few places on earth that can compare in wealth to this place, ... but it still has its street kids.

Opposed to this third World lie, the little girl’s beauty is the pure truth; it’s both natural and man-made, and independent of her social reality. Who can question her beauty? That we need to question is the social injustice she will be facing as she grows older in a country that invests so little in the next generation, even though we have some of the best facilities in health, education and technology, to which she will have little or no access. Avenida Paulista is as totally contrasting to her reality as one can possibly imagine and I doubt that she will ever set foot on its sidewalks. That is, if she doesn’t end up a street kid...............

Innocent Simplicity

.in.no.cent

.i.nəsənt [in-uh-suhnt]

–adjective

1.free from moral wrong; without sin; pure: innocent children.

.sim.plic.i.ty

s.m.pl.s.ti [sim-plis-i-tee]

–noun, plural -ties.

1.the state, quality, or an instance of being simple.

Can we not preserve something so precious?

I am the Change!

Can you feel it?

Can you hear it?

Can you see it?

Can you be it?

Go BIG for the REFLECTions

A penny for your Thoughts...

…magical rhapsody in blue....................

During our outreach programme in the community, Maycon couldn't understand why I wanted to take a picture of his almost magical eyes. He only let me take one picture, probably thinking I might steal some of his magic.....................

Blue is the main colour of the sapphire. Blue is also the favourite colour of some 50 per cent of all people, men and women alike. We associate this colour, strongly linked to the sapphire as it is, with feelings of sympathy and harmony, friendship and loyalty: feelings which belong to qualities that prove their worth in the long term – feelings in which it is not so much effervescent passion that is to the fore, but rather composure, mutual understanding and indestructible trust. Thus the blue of the sapphire has become a colour which fits in with everything that is constant and reliable.

It's been a year since Bernie Mac died....

He will be greatly missed by many, especially me!

Brave - Idina Menzel

BRAVE: Idina Menzel

Don't know just where I'm going

And tomorrow, it's a little overwhelming

And the air is cold

And I'm not the same anymore

I've been running in your direction For to long now I've lost my own reflection

And I can't look down

If you're not there to catch me when I fall.

If this is the moment I stand here on my own

If this is my rite of passage that somehow leads me home

I might be afraid But it's my turn to be brave

If this is the last chance before we say goodbye

At least it's the first day of the rest of my life

I can't be afraid Cause it's my turn to be brave

All along all I ever wanted, was to be the light

When your life was daunting

But I can't see mine

When I feel as though you're pushing me away

Well who's to blame, are we making the right choices

Cause we can't be sure if we're hearing our own voices

As we close the door even though we are so desperate to stay

If this is the moment I stand here on my own

If this is my rite of passage that somehow leads me home

I might be afraid But it's my turn to be brave

If this is the last chance before we say goodbye

At least it's the first day of the rest of my life

I can't be afraid Cause it's my turn to be brave

And I might still cry

And I might still bleed

These thorns in my side

This heart on my sleeve

And lightening may strike This ground at my feet

And I might still crash

But I still believe

This is the moment I stand here all alone

With everything I have inside, everything I own

I might be afraid But it's my turn to be brave

If this is the last time before we say goodbye

At least it's the first day of the rest of my life

I can't be afraid Cause it's my turn to be brave
