All I Want for Christmas....




Good Afternoon!!! Merry Christmas Eve everyone....I guess I should start out by saying that this last week has been a bit awful for me and my family.. Last Wednesday I had to call 911 to have my father taken to the hospital. He was feeling dizzy, disoriented and he was slurring his words...First thing I though was he was having a stroke....It took them almost a week to figure out what was wrong with him....Found out that he has been having mini seizures and that he has had a mini stroke in the middle of his brain....He has also been diagnosed with Sundowner's....Meaning he is agitated and irritated at night...It's also a sign of dementia....So things aren't too happy right now....He is being released from the hospital tomorrow morning and then we will see how things go from here on out...He's still my dad and I love him a lot but I hate seeing him like this....There are a few things that have gotten me through this time...My mom and her support....She is my rock...My best friends and sisters (Trudy and Danni)...They have been there for me always....My new co-workers...Believe it or not they have been very understanding....And this man....Call me crazy but just the sight of his smile and the sound of his laughter has helped me....


His laugh is one of the things I love about him the most....How can I not cheer up when I hear it....So if I could say one thing right now it would be Thank you to everyone who has been there for me during this time....Thank you to Jeremy for making me laugh and smile even when I didn't want to...Anyways...I guess that's all for now...Merry Christmas to everyone....Hope the new year brings you everything you ever want and more....Me, I just want normal again....It'll get there, eventually.....Lots of Love to you Jeremy...Stay Safe wherever you are....Until Later....Jeremy's Flame, out...

Dear Jeremy





Good Morning!!! Such a great day it is today too... I just took my final exam in my Introduction to Producing class and passed it with a B, so this makes me happy....I have to admit that I never knew just how hard the producers job was until I took this class...Now I understand and realize just what they do for the film industry...If it wasn't for the producers then movies wouldn't get made...Okay now onto what I need to say to this man above in the pictures.
Dear Jeremy,
As this year comes to an end I have been taking stock in everything in my life and how my life has changed in the past few years. It's hard to believe that just 2 years ago I had no idea what I was missing in my life. That is until one day I was at school waiting on my mom to get out of class. I had brought my computer with me and several movies too. So I popped in a movie and sat and watched it. That movie was The Hurt Locker. I was amazed at this movie and how good it was. Then to realize that a woman had directed it made me even happier. I do remember watching The Oscars the year it won, didn't really pay much attention to it at the time though. But I did that day at school. It sparked something inside me that I had thought died a long time ago. My love for the film industry. I had acted in many plays growing up and had loved it but my real passion was behind the camera. I didn't have a role model that I could look up to until I discovered Kathryn and you. You made me sit up and take notice of something that had been missing in my life, Kathryn made me realize that I could go after my dream. Since that day I have been on this journey to becoming a director and it has been an amazing journey too. There were times I just wanted to give up but I didn't. Because I knew that I could do this and I will be out there someday. The two of you are my inspirations and I just want to say Thank you. Thank you for inspiring me to go after what I have always loved, movies. It's funny really, now when I watch a movie I watch it with a different set of eyes. I see things that I wouldn't have normally seen before. Yet, I still enjoy them, maybe even more than I used to. I actually follow certain movies from the day they are announced to the day they wrap, just to see how the progress is going. All this is because of you and Kathryn. All because of a movie entitled The Hurt Locker. I will admit I am a fan of yours and have seen pretty much all of your movies. I have my favorites and there are a few that I didn't like, but I still own them. And yes, I have watched Dahmer. Creeped me out, but it was a great movie. I have seen Fish in a Barrel and honestly that is the most chaotic movie I have ever seen. I laughed all the way through it and loved every minute of it. My mom even laughed. SWAT made me cry at the end, because I know that the original script Gamble doesn't die. Loved Monkey Love, Ingenious, The Hurt Locker, Avengers and Age of Ultron. Although I think my favorite movie now has to be Kill The Messenger. This one really showed people that you can wear many hats and wear them well. So please accept my thanks as just that, a thank you for opening my eyes again to the wonderful world of the movies.
Sincerely
Dawn.
I know that he may not read this but I felt the need to say it all again. Just in case. Anyways...Lots of Love Jeremy....Stay safe wherever you are...Until Later...Jeremy's Flame, out!!

Long Time No Hear...





Good Morning!!! I know it's been a long time since my last post and for that I am truly sorry. This semester with school has driven me crazy. I am almost done with classes for the semester and I will be glad for the winter break. I just turned in my final project for class and it was a bit on the interesting side to say the least. We had to turn in an original story created from a piece of music. Well I chose my favorite piano music to base my story on. We had to create a schedule and a budget estimate for it too. All in all I have learned that I do not want to be a producer. I thought the director's job was going to be challenging and it will be no doubt but a producer's job is way more involved than what I expected it to be. So kudos to the producers out there. You have one heck of a hard job. Without them the movie wouldn't be made. Getting things ready for Christmas and trying to work and go to class has been a bit on the stressful side for me this season. But things are getting better. I get to relax after next week and get some much needed R and R. I can't believe that it's almost Christmas. Where did this year go? My year started out pretty crappy. We were struggling to find out how we would pay all the bills and living off of basically nothing. Then in May both my mom and I found jobs at the same place. Been a great few months now and things are finally looking up. With winter break coming up I am going to do nothing but sit and relax and work on my script. Really would like to get it finished before the middle of next year. On the upside I have gotten to see Jeremy a few times this year and that made my year even better. He looked great on the Sinatra 100 birthday celebration Sunday night. That made my night. Even if it was just for a few minutes. Now I hear that he might be recording an album. Guess we shall wait and see how that turns out, I know I'll be buying it when if comes out. On the TV front. Agents of SHEILD winter finale was last night and talk about a great end to the last few weeks. Not to pleased that they killed off Coulson's love interest. It was nice to see him happy for a change. But I was very glad to see that Coulson finally got his revenge on Ward. The way he killed him last night was perfect. Although he didn't stay dead, he came back as the evil Hydra Death God, or whatever you want to call him. Now we have to worry about him and Lash. So next March 8th when the new season starts should be interesting. Until then we will have Agent Carter coming back in January. Anyways....Guess that's all for now. Again I am sorry for not posting until now. But life does get in the way at times and you just have to deal with it. So, Lots of Love to you Jeremy....Stay safe wherever you are babe...Until Later....Jeremy's Flame, out.

Merry Christmas and Many Warm Blessings for a Wonderful 2016!!!
