The Camera is The Storyteller

-

@ThaddBoii on all social media platforms. His use of camera optics, results in believable football characters, to such an extent you end up hating some and loving some. Isn't that crazy?

The only football I know is soccer, as in, “It’s a goal.” American football is new to me. I didn’t even know what a quarterback is. I do now, thanks to Shedeur Sanders. He’s the thrower, and apparently the farther he throws the ball, the happier his team, Colorado Buffaloes is.

Which brings me to @ThaddBoii, found on all social media platforms. He is my #1 go-to football falcon, because he knows the tools of the trade. Storytelling is about the script, the camera and actors. However, it’s not enough to say BareBeard is a villain, it’s how the camera captures him. There’s a reason why directors choose a close up shot, and not a wide angle. Example. The LSU running backs’ coach has a lot of haters because of how he looks, the camera brings out all the evil. Pure gutter.

@ThaddBoii is so good in all aspects of storytelling, he makes me look like a fool. I forget it’s a one- man show because he is so convincing. I even get mad at Darrell the 5 Star brat, and cheer for Jackson the 3 star, forgetting that it is one guy playing all these characters.

@ThaddBoii even did a hilarious Xavier Legette a few days ago. Whether it’s Tik Tok, YouTube or any other platform, the three aspects of film making are important because they are joined at the hip.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
