RIP Robin Williams

What could be worst way to start your morning? To pick up your smart phone to check your Facebook profile and read something maybe not so interesting, when you see something you really can't believe is true. You jump out of your bed, start looking up things more and bang! It hits you with so much force that you don't know are you able to breathe for a while. You feel how your tears are burning in your eyes, how the tears are running down your cheek and you just can't stop crying. You can't stop tears running out of your eyes.

 This morning was the second worst day of my life. I won't tell you what is the first one, because that is not the case right now. This all just feels so bizarre, unbelieveable and the most what I feel is sadness. It was a quite shock to read about it. Still I can't believe it, it's all around in SOME, but still.

It was like yesterday that I watched The Flubber or Jumanji. Or some other movie where he's acting. I can remember the lines when I see the movies. I really liked him alot. He is the man ( actor ) from my childhood, and his movie really touched me. I'm gonna be sad but I'm still going straight ahead for something. We're all will miss him alot. We lost such a great actor 110814 (11.08.2014) RIP Robin Williams, big hugs for his family.

Marvel

It's weird how movies made you feel. Or some company. It's just so weird that you don't by yourself know what is the feeling you are feeling at the time. Human mind is weird and unknown. At least to me.
I mean I love Marvel's movies, they're quite something you know. But the weird thing here is the feeling. I just don't know how I feel. I mean Marvel. That is quite something. Great movies and stuff. Well yes I have not read any of their comics but I want to. I don't know do I love Marvel or what is the feeling, but it is something big. That's for sure.

I have love spider-man since 2002, and still love it. Even I liked all Iron man movies, but for me Spider-man movies are the best of Marvel's. Those are just sonething that I can't describe with words. There is no words to describe Marvel. Is it love or is it something more, I don't know, but that is something that will last forever.

Outgoing VS. shy

Few days ago I realized that I'm totally from a different planet than my friends are. I mean, I'm more outgoing than shy. I love to be with friends. I love to chat with others. I love to go out there and have fun with friends. Yes, I do like to be by my own. I do like it, and I believe that everybody needs a little bit of time to themselvs. No one should always go around and around with everyone all the time. People needs time to themselves. We are not robots.

Sometimes I need some time to myself and when I need it, I just take it. It's simple as that. But I still love to go everywhere. Somehow I'm so bored to go alone everywhere, but then again I try to "let go" of my friends. I mean, why do I always have to go with someone, why not to go alone. It can't be that bad. Well, I tried it and it was a little weird at first, but I guess that you can use to it.

But the thing that I have thought quite much is that am I just more outgoing than my friends, or are they just that shy to go somewhere with lot of other people around. I guess that my uncle's presence has affected me somehow. I love to go out with a lot of friends around and their friends around, meet some new persons, maybe make some friends and just have fun. And what could be more perfect day than that. I don't want to go always with my uncle and his friends, not that I don't like his friends. Yes they funny, I like them but they are his friends. Yes I love to make some new friends, but when you are almost everytime with same people you can't meet new people.

And that is what I want to do with my friends, but they are more withdrawn than outgoing. Or that's what it feels like. I can use example for this one too. " Hi, what are you doing tonight? Wanna go somewhere and have fun? " " Oh hi, I can't, I'm with my other friend. " It feels weird to me that they never say " but hey come with us ". Guess I'm just used to that kind of action if someone asks someone else to go out to have fun and say I can't come. I have used to live like that. Go out with lot of people. But My friends don't do it, only they want to do is be with that one friend in that one spot and not even think about going somewhere else. That is just something I don't quite understand, why to be with one friend, why not with lot of friends. More friends and people is more fun. Why to take something so less when you can choose to take it lots of it?

And it's quite good way to meet new people that way. And it doesn't mean that you have to be friends with everyone you don't know. Only if you want to, then go for it. But if you want to just have fun talk with them, laugh with them, you don't have to throw a party to do that. There's so many other ways to have fun with lot of people around you, but when people are going to see that?

All I want to do is watch all their movies

Where to begin this one. Urm, yeah maybe I should just start writing, text will come or better way to say it: words will come.
They always come, I just have to write and keep my mind empty while writing. I can not think anything while writing because then I would forget what was I writing. I almost write here that I have very good example but no, no I do not have. One for sure is that I just get two messages for whatsapp, but I have ignore them or I will forget what I was writing. So now I am totally focused with this one. And it means that I can write listen music or watch through the car window and I can not forget what was I writing. The mood is perfect. Yes, I do have moods for writing too, if you do not have the right mood you just can not write. I have moods for like everything. Haha, well not exactly, but almost.
Just like I have mood for watching movies. And this is great
moment to go my subject: actors.

I like lot of actors, but sometimes I have these days that there's one acfor stuck in my mind and I just want to watch his/her movies all day long. Well yesterday and today there have two actors stuck in myind. Robert Downey Jr. and Rupert Grint and that means movie time all the time. Well almost, come on! Think how many movies Robert have or Rupert. Well Rupert do not have that much movies than Robert. But still. It would take days to watch all of Roberts movies.
And honestly this sucks sometimes, because you want to do something else but you can't focus.

Okay well I do not remember when I was first introduced for Robert by my friend. It seems to ling time ago. I do not even remember what was the first movie from him that I saw, but obviously I liked it alot. Nowdays actors just don't stuck in my mind often or badly or whatnot. But I think that Robert is very good actor. And he seems funny, I can't say how funny he really is because I don't know him. Or how perfect he is or if he is perfect at all. I like him and that is enough for me. Well yeah he is also good looking. But yeh I have like him longer than Rupert.
And then rupert. Well I have not exactly seen him before Half-Blood prince or Deathly Hallows. Yes he is all the potter movies but I just have not seen him. I like him also a lot and think that he is good looking too.
So yeah all I want to do is watch all their movies and nothing else, but I just can't watch day after day movies. I have to do something else too, yeh sure I like those guys, but... I do have a life. But maybe I should just enjoy the time I have and watch as much movies as I want to.

-Frankie

Lets go back to the nineties

So much memories but not anything specific. I remember how I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer and X Files. I remember how my mom told me not to watch X Files but I still did. Those were something I liked and still like. But for now Buffy is the one or that is what I think. Yet I still like X Files too, but it is way different than Buffy. The tehcnology and the costumes are the best you could make in the nineties.
Yeah..
How I miss those days, your childhood, pre school and whatnot. Oh yeah I am the kid from nineties and you can see it if you look at me very closly.

-Frankie

That is something I don't hear often

It's funny how words can hurt and make you happy. I mean simple words as " I hate you " can hurt you so much even you don't mean it. You still get the weird feeling when you hear those words. And sometimes we can hurt others with our words, without thinking or without your knowledge.

But making others is as simple as hurting. Or maybe even more simple. Go and say someone " I like your shoes ", or " I like your hair ". I'll bet that the person whom you told that is surprised and also happy.

Well I get the happy feeling after reading one message where were the words: " Omg you're the best! <3 ". That really made me happy, because that is something I don't hear often. So simple words as those are, you can make everyone happy.
" Hey girls, you're beautiful "- Gerard Way

Just a story

Let me tell you a story about a girl, girl who lives in a nice quite small apartment. It's not much, but she likes it. It's in a nice place and she likes her neighbours, though first she thought about that they are nothing but alcoholics. After those few chit-chat, small talks, she don't think that anymore. They're kind of great guys.


So her home is great, so are her neighbours.

She have friends, a lot of friends, but sometimes she feels like she doesn't have any. Sometimes she's just so frustrated about all those excuses, well of course she don't know if every word is an excuse. She wants to believe no, she wants to trust her friends's words. She's just not sure if she can always trust her friends, when they say they don't have time to see her.
Sometimes she feels like they just pretend to be her friends. She don't know why she feels like that, but it's just a feeling. She could just ignore it.

One day she have a feeling. Feeling about be broken. Not literally broken, but the way that everyone are doing things she likes to do or she wants to do. Things that she said out loud, things that are her dreams and every single one are doing them. Making her dreams come true, and what can she do? Watch them making someone else's dreams come true. She can't do anything than watch her dreams fade away. Well not all of them, but some of them. Few of her dreams came true with little bit of help. But most of all her feelings, she feels that she's broken, while her dreams are coming true by someone else.

You only hear the music when your heart begins to break...

It's over half year ago, when I read the shocking news about my favourite band. In that half year I can put happiness, sadness, madness almost every feeling you can even imagine or have. But these past four months have been great and all right! I'd hope more but that job which maybe ended today. As anything else in this world, also this depends on money can I continue the job...
But back to the main thing.

It was almost end of the week when I got in my hands the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. Metal Hammer- magazine full of My Chemical Romance! All you can dream of and then it's front of your eyes, what have you done or said to get it? Is this dream or what?, You think once or twice. All the songs fills your mind, you can't think of anything else than that what you are seeing. The magazine, only with My Chemical Romance interviews and more. This is my Christmas! And next thing you notice you're thinking is a Christmas song, because of hppiness.
 Maybe I can now have the reason why? Oh, I can't wait for that moment.
And then when you have the time to look at it a bit, you see that there's nothing, I mean nothing or anything about the reason why. And that if something also brings the tears in your beautiful eyes. Also that you know that piece of magazine will be the only one and the last one what you'll ever gonna get about the band. And that moment, brings memories in your nor songs playing in your little head, filling your mind and your heart with magic and love.
All at once in your little mind, how much can you take? How longer you can take this? Or how in the world can you deal with this again? Do you have to go through this again? How your mind could process this all? And trying to think happy thoughts and that they quitted when they were at the top of the world; the right time to end all of it.

The magazine; there's all from the very start to the day 22th March, this year, when everything ended. Everything you need to know about them, everything about their albums, videos, songs, everything and more. 131 pages is a dream which came true. And that's not all, 12 posters of them and one sticker pack. I myself don't much care about the sticker pack, but it's okay plus for that MCR package, I think.

Tears are rolling again all over my face, did I really deal this thing yet? Or is it just tears of joy? Could I ever be happy again, the same way I was before they quit? Or is it just the truth, that this is really the end, they are not coming back, or are they? They are not coming back to Finland to throw a concert. Or does truth just hurts this much that you're always crying after them, even you know it won't get them back? All the feelings are in mind again; happiness, sadness, anger, love, all the power the music gave me; all mixed together.


 
 But at least I have their music with me forever. "Your memory will carry on"- My Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade
And no matter what, I moved on with a thing and here I am. Still alive even they quitted; I don't deny that don't hurt a bit, no. It still breaks my heart, and it will be... Broken. No one can't fix it; it wont' never be complete again. 

 The magazine and some kind of case where the magazine were.

I guess you could say this a goodbye-to-the-my-chemical-romance-magazine or something.

I moved on and I'm happy about it that I really did it, I'm proud fan of MCR; or should I say a loyal fan of MCR? Well, what ever, their music will carry on. I don't know if there's anything what to say, I could just talk and talk and talk about this subject forever even no one to listen. Is it worth it then anymore?

One thing what matters to me is that I love their music forever, I won't forget them or their music, and I'm such a proud fan, I can hope till the end of the world that they'd be back some day and they did the right thing when they quitted then when they were at the top of the world.
They did some difference to this world, they change the world.

So long and goodnight.

Why do I feel like...

Why do I feel like I'm not good enough,
for anyone?
Why do I feel like I can't make this through?
Why do I feel like things won't go like I've planned?

Why I can't focus on good things?
"Why does it feels so good, but hurts so bad?"
Why he lead me off of the track?
Why didn't he said anything before?
Why did it went how it went?

Why do I feel like I don't have strength enough?
There's just questions running through my head,
Why? What? When?

There's some things that I'm done with.
There's some things we've talked through,
If you're happy, I'm happy,
Hey friend, you're more precious than gold,
Don't leave, nothing can't come between our friendship.

There's nothing more than friendship that I want.
There could be jealousness, please don't let it happen.
There's nothing more than friendship in between us.
We don't want anything more, only we want friendship.
Oh, only I want you to be the best friend,
Is it possible?
Don't leave, just stay there.

Some things won't go the way you want;
We've made through that long conversation,
We made a decision;
We'll be friends from now on, forever.
Nothing can't change that,
And I'm proud of it...

-Ronnie

Hyvää päivää or Laba diena

I came to Finland 5th of September. It was still warm, sunny, nice weather… I remember how exited I was! New people every day ,so many different names, new city, my apartment. I cannot even explain how happy I was ! At the same week I had a chance to participate (unfortunately only for one day) in the youth exchange between Armenia and Finland. Again new culture, new point of view, absolutely different lifestyle… That’s what youth exchanges are about, I wish all of you would experience that feeling !!!

After that (FINALLY) I went to see my work place. I remember my co-workers were so shy and super duper afraid of their (better then mine) English. It is finnish culture. Now I know :D It takes time to get to know people in here. You will not become friends in a week or month. You should gain their trust and take it slowly. Before coming here I heard that if you make friends – he/she will be your friend forever. I truly believe in that !

What else I want to say about EVS ? For me it is year of breaking stereotypes. But to agree or not you should experience yourself! I enjoy every day of my volunteering in Finland. And I believe that if I am here – it is my destiny. I met great people, I’ve seen astonishing places. I wish this year will never end… And I am sure I will never forget it!

If you have any questions for me feel free to ask, I would be more then happy to encourage or somehow help to make a step of your EVS path!

Elämäntyyli

Blogi-tiimi pääsi suunnittelemaan ja toteuttamaan Setlementti-lehden nuortenaukeaman. Tiimi valitsi yhteiseksi aiheeksi Lifestyle - elämäntyyli. 

Tässä heidän julkaisujaan aiheesta:

Koin musiikillisen valaistumiseni 7-vuoden iässä Euroviisu-karsintojen muodossa. Perheeni jokavuotisiin perinteisiin on aina kuulunut Euroviisujen seuraaminen ja sinäkin vuonna istuin katse tiiviisti ruudussa katsellen Suomen esikarsintoja.

Ruutuun ilmestyikin jokavuotisten poppareiden ja iskelmätähtien lisäksi jotain aivan muuta. Viisi hirviöksi pukeutunutta tyyppiä, jotka karjuivat ja soittivat täysillä. Se hetki muutti elämäni kulun. Äkkiä Gimmel, Pikku G ja muut ennen enemmän tai vähemmän intohimoisesti fanittamani bändit eivät enää olleetkaan maailman parhaita. Lordi oli vienyt sydämeni alle kolmessa minuutissa.

Noin kuukauden päästä kyseisestä tapahtumasta pääsin Suomen Euroviisu Finaaliin katsomaan Lordia livenä. Muistan olleeni koko päivän aivan täpinöissä. Fanipaitakin piti hommata.

Jälkeenpäin ajatellen siisteintä Lordin show:ssa taisi olla pyrotekniikka. Kyllähän se 7-vuotiaana vetää hiljaiseksi, kun katosta ja lattiasta lentää samaan aikaan kipinöutä.

Euroviisujen ja Lordin jälkeen musiikkimakuni sai lopullisen suuntansa. Löysin 80-luvun melodisen rockin ja huomasin fanittavani samoja bändejä kuin kavereideni isät. Tällä hetkellä kovinta on aito 70-luvun punkrock ja hardcore. Kuitenkin aina, jos joku kysyy lempimusiikkityyliäni, vastaan rock. Ja siitä on kiittäminen Lodria.

Music

This is how I found My Chemical Romance:

Welcome to the Black Parade music video.

I still remember when I saw that music video from MTV. I said: Who’s that crazy guitarist? I meant Frank Iero, but back in then I didn’t know anything about that band.

When I started Turku’s vocational school, I started to listen My Chemical Romance again.

Now days I listen My Chemical Romance almost like 24/7. Well, not then when I sleep. MCR’s music has helped me a lot.

Also I like the lyrics of the songs, there’s the point!

Sylissäsi

Sylissäsi
Tahdon olla kuolematon

Synkronoitua sydämesi sykkeeseen
sen kertoessa miten jatkaa
Opetella ulkoa
tuoksusi, niskasi
Ja sateen ropinan ikkunaa vasten:

tralala, tralalalam.

Pulkkamäessä

Käsi ylös kuinka moni haluaisi pulkkamäkeen?

Entä kuinka moni käy oikeasti mäessä peuhaamassa?

Itse olen 28-vuotias ja joka talvi odotan lumentuloa kuin pikkulapsi, sillä muutoksella, että olen nykyään iso lapsi:). Rakastan talvea enemmän kuin mitään muuta vuoden aikaa. Raitis ilma, pehmeän karhea lumi, lumienkelit ja -ukot.

Lämmintä juotavaa ja jotain syötävää hyvine ystävien seurassa.

Ikä on vain numeroita, joten nyt kaikki rohkeasti vaan mäkeen pyörimään, se vähentää kummasti stressiä, saa naurua aikaan ja ennen kaikkea mikä tärkeintä - muistoja.

Jokainen meistä voi olla lumikenttien sankari. Pulkalla tai ilman.

Young’s Lifestyle

Ikävä tosiasia, mutta polttavatko nykyisin nuoretkin jo itsensä loppuun ja miten tähän ollaan päädytty?

Ennen on vain puhuttu aikuisten ja lapsiperheiden hektisestä elämästä, eikä olla kiinnitetty huomiota nuorten jatkuvasti lisääntyvään hektisyyteen ja pahoinvointiin… paitsi nyt…

Mutta miten sitä ohjelmaa sitten vaan riittääkin ja tuntuu, että tunnit loppuvat vuorokaudessa kesken, jolloin siihen keksitään ratkaisuksi muutaman tunnin yöunet 8-9 tunnin sijaan ja taas mennään…

Kysyttäessä yleisesti nuorten viikosta on vastaus seuraavanlainen: klo 8-15 koulussa, koulusta suoraan treeneihin kahdeksi tunniksi, sieltä kotiin, syömään, läksyt ja televisiota sen verran kuin ehtii. Ja klo 22, kun on aikaa, päädytään FB:hen juttelemaan kavereiden kanssa päivän kuulumiset ja muistetaan mennä siinä yhden tai kahden aikaan nukkumaan ja lasketaan tunteja siihen, kun kello soi klo 6.30 ja bussiin juoksu taas edessäpäin. Viikonloppuna sitten nukutaan…

Itse saa olla siinä mielessä onnellisessa asemassa, että on ollut niin tukeva ja rakastava perhe, jolloin kodistakin on muodostunut turvallinen hengähdys- ja akkujen latauspaikka. Näin ei kuitenkaan kaikilla ole, harmi…

Nykyisin on muodostunut taitolajiksi rajata, hallita ja aikatauluttaa ajankäyttöä, jolloin lopputulos on liian tiivis päivä, viikko, kuukausi ja vuosi… Vuodenvaihteessa taas mietitään mitä sitä onkaan tullut tehtyä, muistamatta puoliakaan. Päämääränä kun vain on, että ”pakko ehtiä ja jaksaa tehdä kaikki vielä kun on nuori”.

Mutta ajatellaan tätä vähän: Mitä jaksamme aikuisena ja yli puolet loppuelämästämme mikäli jo nyt vedämme itsemme aina ihan piippuun.

Ratkaisu: Please, kirjoittakaa kalenteriin ”minä itse”, ”sohva”, ”tv” tms. Rajatkaa hetki, jolloin olette ”tekemättä mitään”. Arvostakaa itseänne: pysähtykää, hengittäkää ja kuunnelkaa itseänne. ”Ei ole pakko aina jaksaa”. Elämä käy muuten liian raskaaksi, vaikka sen pitäisi kuitenkin olla elämistä varten, ainutlaatusita.

Ps. Muistakaa ystävät, jotka teillä on!

Lapset

Pidän lapsista, koska he ovat positiivisia ja yleensä iloisia. Olen hoitanut lapsia todella paljon. Voin olla oma itseni heidän kanssaan. Lapset ovat suoraan puhujia.  He sanovat suoraan mitä he ajattelevat ja he ovat ihania. Lapset ovat minun elämässä tärkeitä. He ovat sitä aina.

Minulla on kolme ystäväni lasta, joita olen vaihtunut. Heidän äiti luottaa muhun. Olen jopa joskus vaihtunut heitä viikonloppuna ja viikolla. Heidän kanssaan on ihanaa eikä koskaan tylsää.

Aina kun vahdin heitä, olen iloinen. Lapset osaavat olla ilkeitäkin ja jopa joskus hyvin kiukkuisia, mutta olen silti heidän kanssaan iloinen. En voisi suuttua lapsille. Lapsilla vilkas mielikuvitus ja se on yleensä todella monipuolinen.

The Life of Young People

There are various different types of age groups (young people). This age of young people reaches between the ages of 10-28 years. In this age group there are various types of life styles. The various life styles can be explained below.

Dressing habit is one of the life styles of young people. Most young people in our society today like dressing up themselves. In this case, they have different dressing styles. For example some young people like to dress like hiphop star, rock star, gang star, model and movie stars. Int this “fashion style” they wear recent outfit in the market. The young people also have this habit of “to match”. They like matching their colors of what they are wearing.

Educationally many young people want to be educated. By education they believe they will have a better job.

Socialization is another aspect of young people´s life style. When we talk about socialization, we mean the social aspect of life. Many young people are interactive and by this they learn new languages and cultures and makes new friends. Also many young people like smoking, drinking, clubbing and partying most of the time.

Also leisure time, they have different kinds of activities that young people like to do in their leisure time.  For example, some young people like to read novels, watch TV, go out with friends, go to the beach, use the internet, go for shopping and go to watch movies with friends.

Traveling is also one aspect of most people´s life style. Most young people like to travel abroad during their holiday. By this they like to interact with other people, study the life style of another society. In fact most young people want to discover the real world by traveling.

About music; for example some of the young people like to listen to slows, hiphop and rock bands.

"Be enthusiastic, more motivated, determined ... - and time will be kind for you :) "

If someone told me several months ago that I’d go to Finland for one year, I’d only smile at it. But our future is so full of surprises, you never know what will happen in a second. But reality is that I am doing my EVS (European Voluntary Service) in Turku, working as a Youth worker in Paattinen Youth House.

Why exactly Finland? Be honest, I didn’t have a right answer before coming here. Finland is quite faraway from Georgia, different culture and traditions- life-style, strict climate. But life is a challenge, we should use all the possibilities all the chances given by our life. Sometimes life is more interesting if you put yourself to the test.

What exactly I mean in differences between Georgia and Finland? Let’s leave political and economical issues J I’ll try to explain more practical and funny things I have already faced here:

1. Taking shoes off inside the buildings was so strange for me. If someone asks the guest to take off the shoes in Georgia, it will be very impolite.
2. Women bus drivers - you will never see even one woman bus driver in Georgia J yet
3. Bicycles are not used as a kind of transportation in my country, just for fun (Hobby).
4. People are more talkative, friendly and close in Georgia. Friends like to hug to each other every day when they are meeting : )
   
5. No Hesburgers (in every corner of the street) but McDonald’s :)
6. Pircings are not popular like in Finland (an earrings for men) :)

After 5 months living in Turku I guess that I have done perfect decision choosing Finland: feeling of safety, honest, reliable people, always ready to help me and never lazy to smile, fascinating nature- maybe I found my inspiration in Finland :)

EVS really gave me a chance to get more experienced, to build up a huge network of contacts (friends), to make my life more interesting, full of adventures and surprises.

P.s. I hope rest 5 months will be more interesting for me and sunny of course… ))))))))))))

My very special EVS - European Voluntary Service

Evrything started 4 years ago when one very important person for me gave me information about this program for youth. She told me her crazy, nice, cute and interesting experience to me... After it I was hyper excited about that and at the same moment I decided when I will finish gymnasium I will do the same in my very own and somehow special country...
And here I am !
FINLAND ?
Most common questions : why Finland? why EVS? Why?
Story ...
During my last year in gymnasium I already had my sending organisation and we were searching together for an EVS project. I paid my attention to nordic countries as I might stay in there for my future studies. Also I gave priority to Norway but we didnt find anything in there... The deadline was so close - 1st of June.. And suddenly in the midle of May I got an invitation to Finland - and why not? Nordic. Possible to study. Interesting. No one can talk that kunkulunku language. Santa Clause is living there. It should be special !

The country of coldness and hills of snow! Really? Let's see and experience by myself. And here I am more than 6 months.

To be continued :)))

One of the wonderful songs I like.

I admit that the lyrics are a little bit sad and emotional. And maybe that's why I like this song, I don't know exactly the reason why I like this song, but I think it's because I can (sometimes) easily identify the "story" of the lyrics.

Dream Job/Unelma Työ

Film director & screen writer

First of all I want to be a director but I also want to be a part of the plot creating process. I could direct and write some films, but I also could only direct or write a script. In the job of a screen writer you need a lot of imagination and also you have to be patient (because you don't get financing immediately and your project can stand for many years).

In a directors job you need the previously mentioned skills and you have to be a good organizer and you have to be calm in a Panic situation . You have two days for the deadline, your main actor has a diarrhea and he/she is in the toilet 20 hours a day, the producer(s) is in your neck and the rest of the cast is unhappy with their wage, filming conditions and they yell to anything that moves.

One thing that encourage me to be a director is my idol. This lovely, imaginative, special, "nothing normal", bizarre person is Tim Burton. I hope deep down in my subconscious mind that he would see my films. And maybe even like them.

Elokuva ohjaaja & käsikirjoittaja.

Ensinnäkin haluan olla ohjaaja, mutta haluan myös olla osana juonen luomisprosessia. Voisin ohjata ja käsikirjoittaa joitain elokuvia, mutta voisin myös vain ohjata tai kirjoittaa kässärin. Käsikirjoittajan työssä tarvitaan paljon mielikuvitusta ja pitää olla myös kärsivällinen (koska et saa rahoitusta heti ja projektisi voi seistä monta vuotta.)

Ohjaajan työssä tarvitsee edellä mainittuja kykyjä, sekä pitää olla hyvä järjestämään asioita ja pitää pysyä rauhallisena paniikki tilanteessa. Deadlineen on kaksi päivää aikaa, päänäyttelijällä on ripuli, ja tämä istuu vessassa 20 tuntia päivässä, tuottaja(t) ovat kimpussasi ja loput työporukasta ovat tyytymättömiä palkkoihinsa, kuvausolosuhteisiin ja huutavat mille tahansa mikä liikkuu.

Eräs, joka rohkaisee minua ohjaajan työhön on idolini. Tämä ihana, mielikuvituksellinen, outo, "ei mitään tavallista", erityinen henkilö on Tim Burton. Toivon syvällä alitajunnassani, että hän näkisi elokuviani. Ja ehkä jopa pitäisi niistä.
