I write. I have no time to waste. From desperation came our film Uncle Louie. No money, untested talent but goddamn, two awards and selection to the BNFF.

no time for this nonsense. Open your ears and rub the shit out of your eyes. It approaches with the force of a locomotive.

Uncle Louie was selected to the Columbia Gorge International Film Fest. With a zero budget we captured far more than we had hoped.

And nobody gives a damn whether education in USA stinks. They say they do, but their actions speak the opposite. Students are being ignored.

It's time to get out of the way and find a quiet place to sit in silence and without distraction. Sit firmly and say nothing. Ignore birds.

For those of you who think you are going to live to a ripe old 80, think again. You don't know nothing. And you can't stop what's coming.

What would you do if you found out that you were dying within the year. How would you deal with the fear? How would you dismiss the demons?

The shank of the evening has fallen upon us. Run like hell.

Three days after returning from the Buffalo Niagara Film Festival, I was informed by my doctor that I was dying. Now what. What do I do now?

[joe izzo @mangelli_izzo]

Stop whining and take care of our kids. They deserve the adventure of learning, to fly with dragons in pursuit of truth and beauty.

[joe izzo @mangelli_izzo]

It's true. Education is breaking down. Only worse. Nobody listens. Everybody's bored. No truth. No expression. No fun. Fear rules.

Ronny The Limo Driver has 38000 followers. Howard powered his celebrity and made it easy. For the rest of us, don't give up and write daily.

My doctor informed me that I will not live out the year. The C's been at my heels for 11, so I've been lucky. But not lucky this time. Entre

[joe izzo @mangelli_izzo]

I hope to make it a benefit for the Bill Wilson House and present them with a generous share of the revenues. They depend on donations.

[joe izzo @mangelli_izzo]

How valuable experience. Our first film festival produced many great nuggets of sarcasm and ridicule. Next, San Jose Premiere of Louie.

Listening to Iris Dement. Damn she tells the truth when she sings how Easy's Getting Harder Everyday. Each and everyday.

This morning when we left Buffalo it was snowing. I thought we had landed on the moon during a 1000year winter. Yikes!!!

This morning when we left Buffalo, it was snowing. Being from California, I thought we had landed on the moon during a 1000 year winter.

As the mysterious cowboy said in the Big Lebowski, sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.

In flight to Buffalo NY. Can't believe it's happening. Going to the Buffalo Niagara Film Fest. Life's a comic book reality.
