An Email

So I wrote my cousin TJ an Email today. I liked it so I decided to post it here for all to read. (meaning Brianne and possibly dad.)

i recall telling you that i would write you at least once while you were on your mission and this is number three already. But that is ok.

Not much going on around here. Workin hard here inside the prison. It is lots of fun. I get to yell and be mean to the guys here. Well, when they deserve it that is. No customer service here.

So I am glad that you are enjoying the work. Here is my deep thought for today.

I was always counting down the time until i had left. And I was so happy to be home. I couldnt wait to have La Frontera burritos again, and go to see a movie, or just not get up on time.

Now I would give anything to be able to go back to Chile and see the people again.

I have been reading a book called the Alchemist here at work at night and last night I read something that made me look at life in a new way.

Where I am in the book a young man is on his way to Egypt to see the Pyramids. He is traveling in a Caravan across the Sahara desert, and he has become good friends with the leader of the Caravan.

The Leader says to him one day that he doesnt think about the things in the past, nor the things that will happen in the future. When he is eating he thinks only about eating, and when he is traveling he keeps his mind on his travels. He doesnt worry about what will happen at the next stop, instead he worried about what he is doing in that moment.

He then goes onto say that this is the only real way to experience happiness. To live in the moment, and not worry about what has already happened or what is going to happen in the future. Just enjoy life as it is.

That made me think differently all the sudden. I always think that life will be so much better when my kids are older and Romina and I have more money. But I know that if I think that way, when the day comes that all that happens, I am gonna long for the days I am in right now. So I got home this morning and hugged and kissed my kids and enjoyed them for who they are right now. Because soon I won't be able to. Does that make sense?

Anyway, I don't think you are getting trunky or anything. I am not even trying to lecture you about anything. I just thought I would share my thoughts with you and maybe it will help you one day! Take care and tell the Chilean people I love em.

Love

Marc.

Halloween

Well, it has been long enough I guess. I was hoping to have finished my latest film some time ago, but life sometimes gets in the way and things take longet than expected. Anyway, tonight we finished filming all the scenes, and now I have a guy creating the music. This new film will be completly original. Everything in it will have been made specifically for this film alone. I was looking at the finished product today (without sound) and I was so excited to actaully see my thoughts play out on camera. This is going to be the best film I have made by far. Hopefully it will be out within the next week. But no promises.

Anyway, here are some pics from this years Halloween
