Reconsidering Fiscal Sponsorship

I've decided to seek Fiscal Sponsorship after all. Keep checking GRANTErinsWish.com for updates.

As for everything else, I'm still trying to get the YouTube Partners Program straightened around. If it ain't one thing, it's another, I tell you. I'll be going down to New York on Thursday and staying with Brian.

Good Night.

Happy Mother's Day/What Now?

Last month, I went to an annual reunion for my old college radio station. For the first time since my Freshman year, the place felt alien to me. I guess I've come full circle in that part of my life, and it's time for me to move on.

A lot has changed for me in the past year, and especially in the past six months. I feel like so many possibilities have opened up for me, and It just seemed really absurd for me to be there.

I apologize this post seems disconnected. I just thought I'd share that with all of you.

My Gift To The World

A few weeks ago, I read Marcel Mauss' The Gift, which I obtained via interlibrary loan. The thesis of The Gift, to quote Wikipedia is this: "That the exchange of objects between groups builds relationships between them.He argued that giving an object creates an inherent obligation on the receiver to eciprocate the gift."

For the last week or so now, I've been thinking about this new blog I want to start on. What "gift" do I want to give to the blogosphere? What will I get in return? If you you've been reading my sporadic posts from the last month and a half, you know I had a plan to do a blog called "indigenity", which would either be A.) A variation on the Grant Erin's Wish theme. B.) Blog about me attending Film Festivals, or C.) The making of my new movie. All of these blogs, however, have been done.

I'm still trying to decide what I want to do. One idea will have me drawing upon research I've done on a particular subject for the past year. But I'm not sure how much more time I want to spend on this subject. I'm not sure if I want to spend some time away from it, or just trash it completely. The other one would have me making and uploading short films on the internet. I have time to think about this, I guess.

This afternoon, I started packing up and cleaning up old files and books. Based on the stuff that's in my room, it's going to be the end of summer before everything is all cleaned out.
