New Stuff and old musical intonations

I am in a movie. Its called "Hairspray". I filmed two long days so far and saw stars galore! John Travolta, Christopher Walkin and Queen Latifa to name a few. Dressed in snazzy 1961 era garb and my mess o' hair cut into an appropriate style i have been in 1/2 dozen scenes at least and am pretty sure I will get called back again for either late today or for early tomorrow to do more filming as I am a continuity player which means I need to be in several concurrent scenes to make the time flow though the movie work correctly. Queen Latifah had the most beatiful skin I have ever seen - it literally glowed and was almost as incredible as her warm and genuine smile. I got one of those from her and was in awe of both her personable flirty nature and her love of life. Very inspiring! Walkin was as creepy in real life as in every movie I've ever seen him in. Travolta was in a great mood all the time I saw him and treated the backgound performers well or rather as equals. Full of smiles and jokes and simply one of the gang. Also impressed with him. Both Walkins and Travolta were in drag which was kinda funny and wierd at the same time - travolta kept shaking his huge (padded) arse at the people in my general area and let me tell you - that was a sight I will likely take to the grave with me and will certainly become a staple within my nightmare's realm.

When things look bleak I think about red tornados...

yes - when things look darkest - as they sometimes do - I think about how bleak they could be if I were a robot incapable of feeling or any type of sensation at all- if I were a character like DC comic creation the "Red Tornado" I would likely be a very unhappy person indeed - Mind you capable of fantastic feats of weather warping and of course 'tornado' abilities, but still a robot and as a robot I would have no h'human' feelings - no sorrow - no pain - no anguish - wait a second - back up here ... hmmm I think I may have totally missed the point here. On second thought I want to be a robot ! Yes! Yes indeed-do! A robot would be perfect for me and in fact a super powered robot would be even better - just think of the fun and frolic I could have zipping across the sky and spinning like a top- whenever I felt like a tattoo I could simply pick up a can o' spraypaint from the hardware store and voila! A new design on my steel alloyed shell - who could ask for anything more - no more pesky feelings to get in my way - no need to sleep - or eat (except for the occational can of motor oil that is)
I am reminded of an old Chinese proverb I remember hearing in my youth that goes like this:

"...no mountain is unclimbable... no height unattainable... for him who wills
himself weightless."

I remember hearing that this Chinese man died quite young - slipping from an ice cliff and plummeting to his death on the icy rocks below.

Ironic?
perhaps it was...
A fitting death?
it certainly was...
