real time/boxing
real time
my brother was an actor. what he liked about acting - being onstage with an audience,etc - he could not get from going to mass cattle call auditions for tv and film roles in nyc...so,he moved to rhode island,he teaches yoga, music with children, storytelling....
real time
10 years, i had an idea for a story...i thought : this could be a movie. i could picture it in my mind, over several weeks the story unfolded, new expiences became new images...
then i realized: i'm not a filmmaker. i could care less about actually making a movie. a lot of standing around, conferring with and figuring out who knows what!!?????
i like to be in real time
babym, i want you now!!
i can't get into internet dating.i want to know someone, go walk over to their house, and get it on.
i'm talking to you, and then i want to kiss you...
it's kind of like boxing.
here's my skit, with sean:
"my name is daddy underpants
i like to wear my pants
and dance
i'm daddy underpants>'
this was my training song.
i'd sing it over and over.
there is no beauty to boxing. it's not a thoroughbred race.
the other night we saw the saturday hbo fights.
one mismatch, 6'1" paul williams versus a ringer, 5'9" underdog. of course the underdog lost every round, got his head pounded, his nose broken, his eyes cut, his already dumb brain dumb'd somemore.
the announcer said he was 'courgaeous'.
it was really a mismatch, and the loser got the shit best out of him.
the final, (headline?) match was also a mismatch. mayweather (pound for pound the best fighter in the world) vs blharim?? from argentina.
the argentine slugged it out for the entire 12 rounds. he even won the last round. but he wasn't a very well trained fighter.
all he could do was swing swing swing, take a punch, swing swing siwng.
only 5% of his swings hit mayweather, a ridiculously low ratio. mayweather threw fewer punches, but around 1/3 his the argenitne.
in this mismatch, nobody called the argentine 'courageous."
there were comments that the winner, mayweather, was a coward because his moves and legs were so good at evading punches, keeping him away from trouble.
that brings us backto real time. is it aobut courage??
the first fighter, the fighter who got his brains bashed as a showcase fight for the winner,was called courageous.
he had heart. people love to see an underdog stand in there, take a punishment. anytime he got a punch in, few and far between, the crowd cheered.
is boxing brutal??
it reminds of the pied piper, of the irish amercian kid's i grew up with.
it was important to be able to take a beating. almost more important than being able to give oneout.
a severe culture of punishment, the best being able to take more than anyone else.
the pied piper of hamlin. the only child who survived received as an act of charity from the piper, this gift:
the piper cut off his toes out of charity because the boy was kind and had shared his supper with the stranger.
when the piper led off the town's children, that one buy was spared because he could not keep up with the others, slowed by his injured foot.
i grew up with people like this.
"my name is daddy underpants.
i like to wear my pants
and dance
i'm daddy underpants."
______
master
we all need a master?? health dept, coaches...
in training, we need the coach to be our master, to have authority over us. experience is a slow and underpaid teacher...by the time we figure it out for ourselves, we would have lost too many matches to contend or to even be considered by an opponent.
experience is a slow and underpaid teacher.
