So it's Monday, Labor Day Monday, September 6th, 2021. I'm in the car driving to Riley Street Art Supply in Santa Rosa. I just came home after having lunch with Karim at Habit. And we had a fun morning playing tennis, Rob, and Zonia joined as well. We played tennis at kind of Luma High School. So yeah, trying to get back into tennis because I feel like it's a very low-burst sport that I can keep myself active with. So with anyway, I'm also driving to Riley Street Art Supply to look at the things that I can use to decorate camp. Trying to consider the possibility of selling cameras that are decorated. Kind of like the way it's capable to decorate it. And see where that gets me. Maybe they'll be worth more after a foot, some hard work on it. You know, it's all based on trends that I've been watching. I saw this one guy, James and iPad. It was really cool. The iPad was the perfect surface for it. You know, these Tannik jerky, he likes the time. And I'm hoping that I can do the same. Anyway, that's what I'm going to try. Another thing that I kind of wanted to get down was a story idea that I had. It was a really short story cycle approach. So short story cycle appeared to some fog can sometimes appear to not have any kind of connectivity. But there's a few other things that appear to flow along the same plot line. What appears to be disparate characters is conflict. This one came to me a couple of days ago and I keep remembering it. And I want to record it so that I don't forget it. I think it's a powerful idea. I think I first got the idea from the TV series of nine perfect strangers. There was one couple there who was the boyfriend. He had to be not a no. He won the lottery. He was just a simple blue collar for her. He drove a catering truck. Because he won the lottery, he changed his life. Obviously from his perspective for the worst. I thought that was interesting. There could be a short story cycle that has been done. I just don't know it. It's really hard to research short story cycle. Without obviously staying on top of that wall of time. But I was thinking of, you know, there are times in one life where we have something extraordinary happen to us. And that extraordinary event paved a new course for 10 persons life. Literally sometimes closes all the previous conflicts and opens up new ones or makes the current conflict even worse. I would like to explore those in stories. Or perhaps, you know, the extraordinary event on its surface is extraordinary. But underneath that event is something, is perhaps a story that's tragic. And the motivations to avoid tragedy in that person's life lead to the extraordinary decisions or choices or just create the contrast that makes everything appear so extraordinary. The wealthy person winning the lottery isn't a story unless you can tell it in an extraordinary way. My parents for example, I believe all of this pattern where their story is extraordinary on the surface. And to empower from opposite sides of the earth, right for 12 years only to eventually become fatal. And that's a very good, that's extraordinary. However, underneath an old path or two people who, the moment they discover the existence of the other, they want to pursue that. And so the extraordinary became pursuits and everything else in their life became tragic if they could not pursue that end goal. Every day we think of our lives, nothing extraordinary is ever going to happen to me. It's not an uncommon perspective. And so to discover that it happens to someone can either lead you to believe that there are good things in the world and they happen to people who deserve it or not. But they're extraordinary, right? I mean that's what leads to fables and fairy tales. Trying to think of a third story that I knew I had come up with it just. I'll try to think right now. But I'm going to stop while I try to recall that story.
