Well, I had just got this automatic mail from one of my best mates asking to update my contact info and replyied with what I think is my best e-mail ever. Anyway it so perfectly somes up my life atm that I thought intead of re-wording it for you guys, I would just post it is is. Please !! im DESPERATE FOR COMMENTS ON THIS ONE!! its really important to me. here it is in its entierety
""Hi my Man!!
How have you been, its been so long since I seen you I feal guilty calling you one of my best mates! We need to hook up soon and catch up majorly. I dont know how you have been or how your life is going for you but I am most insainly happy at the moment! All my dreams and plans are finnaly coming together and I just want to stand on my roof and shout out how great life is. On the down side Im also full of a sense of forboding that this fantastic luck I am having wont last, least you know what they say, luck = 10% 90% preperation so im going to try my damdest to keep it going! This all relates to the end of my uni course really. I was studying Film and Video as you might remember and I was desperatly worried that at the end of my course I would not get a job in the film industry and spend a year sitting on my ass getting less and less into film. Or even worse, I would get a job and find out that I had not nearly enough know how, and fall flat on my face infront of everyone who belived in me. Well this ( thank god ) has not happened! While in poland last year at a cintermatographpy ( cameraman ) film festival I met this guy Called Johan ( pronounced Yohan ) he is a proffesional grip ( head of lighting on a film ) and he gave me a call the other day asking if I wanted to spark on this 35mm twenty miniet short film he was due to work on. Sparking is basically lighting assistant. Anyway, I have just finished that shoot, having spent the last week going to bed at 1 or 2 am and getting up the next morning at 5am. I have been running arround like a headless chicken fetching lights and setting up equipment! I have learnt more in the last week than I have in the last three years on my Uni course!! E.g. the director of photography ( head of all things camera and lighting ) said to me the other day " Joel, fetch me the Honka-bonka, slap in on the turtle and set the 575 HMI with ballest on it, then cover that with a 0.3ND and a 1/4 diff + 1/8 doubled CTB " and the scary thing is I knew exactly what he was talking about!! BTW film is full of stupid names for equipment like honkabonka , polecat, americano etc..... This is only have of the fantastic week I have had. While on the shoot I met this wonderfull girl called Karen. She is deslexic like me and we have so much in common and think in such a similar pattern is scary. I needed a place to crash near the film location so I was staying at her house, we spent the first night in the same bed just snuggleing and hugging ( nothing else happened) and over the next 4 days an amazing, electric sexual tension has built up between us. ON the last night at her house we lay in bed talking till 4 am and she ( kinda worriingly ) know everything about me now, there is not a single dark secrect or embarrising indadiquacy ( no im not talking about penis size!! ) that she doesnt know, and I know the same about her! Well, where not officially going out yet because she only finished this weird ON off relationship a month ago and is not sure about starting a new relationship. Im so liking her I am quite prepaird to take it as slow as she likes. I have a horrible fealying that I know her so well now that she is going to turn arround and say something like "Lets just be friends " the most terrifying sentence in any budding relationship!! Im asking her out today or tomorrow to go and watch sin city and catch some dinner at this restruant I know. I like her so much I feal like I could fall in love with her as the slightess notice. Funny thing is that having someone to work towards has made me realize just how slack I was getting with my own clenliness and motivation. Now I have someone to impress ( not quite the right word but... ) I am trying so much harder. My life really feals like its coming to gether but as I said, I could nearly cry with this background worrie that it wont last. Its funny fealing this happy and this anxious at the same time!!.
WOW I think this is probably the best e-mail I have ever written and im glad im sending it to you buddy, one of my mates that I think will actcualy give a shit and take the time to read it!!!. Please mail me back in kind because I want to know how your life is treating you!!
Lots of happy positive energy to you toooo Joel. ""
