Zooming Out of 2012: ASK's Dec 31, 2012 Commentary

EDITORIAL NOTE:  BLOG #952

The following is a response I made to a Fellow LINKED IN Friend for a comment he made. 

What are blogs for if not to immortalize our feelings.  Therefore, this one is getting posted today so that in 100 - 200 - 500 and/or 1000 years from now, if anyone is reading this, they will know exactly what I was thinking...Thinking those thoughts, that is: 


Hi TIM:  Happy New Year to you, too.  I had to laff, as I'm a writer also (of many grades and responsibilities) about your NY ReZ-OH-lutions.  On the top of any woman's list is her diet.  But now, that I've got that under control, I'm thinking of the more quality things in life - as to WHAT MATTERS and guess what...I almost feel like an Oprah Clone, of sorts.  It's not necessary to resolve anything - what's important is to keep on keeping on and to keep calm...as lots of things can go wrong - will go wrong - not that they SHOULD go wrong...but keeping a positive outlook will help any old day of the year...whether it's a new month - a new year - or the start of a new moment! 

Have a Happy One, TIM! 

BWA: Best Wishes Always,

Cheers, ASK: Screenwriter - Author - Eventologist - Promoter

Blasting out of 2012 to New Frontiers. ASK's Countdown to 2013.

ASK's COUNTDOWN TO 2013:  2012: 

The Year of Facebook. 


So many social connections between this 1, LinkedIn & Twitter, I barely make it out of the door these days.  Too busy typing away & staying connected.  Whoever invented 'copy + paste' should get 'The Award Of The Century.'  That device has saved me hours & hours of time in which I can spend doing other things  that I put off like domesticated chores...but that's OK.  We're living in a new Day n Age.  This is not your Grandma's P.C., Boys & Girls. That's not your Uncle's Journal - it's now a Blog - of which I penned 159 entries this year.  Tht's almost 1 a day.  The Vitamin of Writers is what we could call this for sure.  On that note, it's time get ready 2 welcome in a whole New Year...1 that I hope finds U, Dear Facebook Friends & Family in a peaceful & happy place! Happy 2013 to you and yours.  Let's do it all over again next year!

Cheers, ASK:

ASK’s 7-Part Literary & Cinematic Series

I’m ADRIENNE SIOUX KOOPERSMITH, a Natural Born Writer from age 5 on who is known by my Initials: ASK.  Chicago has been my Base of Operation since 1974.  The Media (composed of ‘Fellow Writers’) has given the Titles of:  ‘America’s Premier Eventologist’ & ‘The Premier Eventologist in the History of the World’ to me; thereby, affording me with Name Recognition on TV, Radio, the Press & throughout the Web. Whereby many People are voracious Readers, I’m a voracious Writer who has penned what’s comparable to 50 B&&KS and 1,900 HOLIDATES via the Genre I call EVENTOLOGY.  

 

Since January 29, 2009, I’ve been drafting a Series of Movie Scripts (from pre-penned Manuscripts) whose Aim is to eliminate Racism as seen through the Eyes of TOYS (depicting Animals that are tens of millions of years older than Man himself; therefore, hailed as true Survivors), the Bi-Product of any Animated Feature.  My 7-Part STORY-B&&K-Series is called: 

SKiN: SACRED KINSHIP iN NATURE™

 HOW 10 BELOVED PLUSH TOYS REDEFINE RACE^©2009

 

‘iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS,’  (my Third Script in this multi-tiered Sequel) rose through the ranks and files to become a Scriptapalooza International Screenplay Competition Quarterfinalist Winner in 2010, beating out 3,164 others. 

 

LogLine #1 reads as:

 

ANTS: You can’t domesticate an ANT. Born to bug. Born to picnic. Born to invade. Born to endure. Appearing 130 million years ago to now set a Prime Example in my Featured Scripts and Manuscripts, THE ANT is the most underrated and misunderstood Insect on the PLANET.  Like Dogs, every ANT should get its Day. No longer the UnderDog, it’s the UNDERANT (not to be misconstrued with UNDERPANTS) whose Time has arrived.  Research their Activities (that’s ANTIVITIES) to see how industrious and deserving they are.  After all, look about you.  Look around. We are all ‘iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS.’ Who’s the real Pest? Let this serve as a Warning:  Watch (very carefully) where you step.

 

For the record, LogLine #2 further relays:  Meeting GiANT at the Muckety-Muck THE ANTS OF PROVANTS begin an ANTVENTURE where Mother Nature and Father Time explain 3 Mystifying Lessons that transcend every Species here on PlANeT Earth.  CHARACTANTS (as they are fondly called) is the Word I created and coined to encompass this Sphere.  Wordicologists will smile and marvel at the clever 245 word ANTABULARY (the ANT’s SLANT dealing with their Vocabulary) that draws the Reader in to this Kingdom or ANTDOM.  Aesopian in nature, iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS also inspired me to compose the ANTHEM (Theme Song which could have aptly been called ANTICIPATION honoring Carly Simon’s 1971 Hit, but quite simply put ‘ANTHEM’ fit much better).  As Two (2) Scripts and Two (2) Manuscripts integrate and merge here, iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS emerges with Valuable Lessons as to what really matters in and throughout Life. All Creatures (both ‘Big & Small’ in whatever Shade of SKiN they are in) weed their Ways through the Complexities of Ironies and Mixed Signals striking us every Day, not knowing that these will leave a deep and indelible Impression. 

 

To brand them further, THE ANTS OF PROVANTS have their own Acronym (that has become the Script’s Subtitle), a first for their Phylum in their Life Cycle of 130 million years which will be unveiled in ‘due time.’

 

To cash in on my well-deserved ‘America’s Premier Eventologist’ Title, I have boldly proclaimed ‘August is ANT Appreciation Month ^©2010’ in order to further brand their Appeal and ANTICS.  Yes, ANTS do get in your Blood, as all memorable STORieS should.

IN CLOSING: Just as there is a lot going on ‘around’ you, there is also a lot going on ‘below’ you. Below your feet.  Below the carpet.  Below the baseboards.  Below the sidewalk. Way below the concrete. ‘Down there’ in a place where few Humans have dared to venture. There are EVENTS happening ‘below’ that you would never believe are occurring, ever. Not even in a million years…if not longer, much, much longer.  iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS^©2009 is a STORY  where THE  ANTS defy any ANTAGONISTS who confront them, clearly befriending thousands of ANT SCIANTISTS ANT Lovers and Enthusiasts (that’s ANTHUSIASTS, you know) across the World Wide ‘Web’ and all Social Networks.  The Study of ANTS is called Myrmecology and Myrmecologists at large and small clearly CAN’T be wrong. 

As for being an ANT OF PROVANTS:  It’s a Picnic worth attending till the Cows come home!

 

Now, I ASK you: 

 

Can We learn lots of invaluable Lessons from the ANTS?

Can ANTS entertain ‘The Masses?’

Can We generate lots of Jobs for People by producing iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS?

Can We ANTEREST a Global AUDIANTS with regards to the Marketing of a vast ASSORTMANT of ANT Products? 

Can We have lots of FUN with ANTS?

Can We tell a STORY that’s never been told before?

 

Together, We surely can.

12-12-12: Twelve-Twelve-Twelve. The Eventological Take.

Once in a LifeTime:

ASK/CHICAGO: ON: Well, Well, Well. Tomoro is 12-12-12. We won't see anything ever like that enumeration again until: 1-1-2101. That's in 89 more years. Imagine what Facebook will be like by then! So if a Kid is born tonight, per se, s/he'll still be part of that U-niverse.

Go figure...

ASK’s 7-Part Literary and Cinematic Series

                                        

            

I’m ADRIENNE SIOUX KOOPERSMITH, a Natural Born Writer from age 5 on who is known by my Initials: ASK.  Chicago has been my Base of Operation since 1974.  The Media has given me the Titles of:  ‘America’s Premier Eventologist’ and ‘The Premier Eventologist in the History of the World;’ thereby, affording me with Name Recognition on TV, Radio, the Press & throughout the Web. This mostly focuses on my Introduction of a new and original Literary Genre known as:

 

                                       EVENTOLOGY:

THE ART OF EVENT-MAKING

ADRIENNE SIOUX KOOPERSMITH’s Campaigns For Humanity^©1990

 

Whereby many People are voracious Readers, I’m a voracious Writer who has penned what’s comparable to 50 B&&KS and 1,900 HOLIDATES. Since January 29, 2009, I’m in the process of drafting a Series of Movie Scripts (from pre-penned Manuscripts) whose Aim is to eliminate Racism as seen through the Eyes of TOYS (depicting Animals that are tens of millions of years older than Man himself; therefore, hailed as true Survivors), the Bi-Product of any Animated Feature.  In April of 2009, an Evanston Producer (after he read the Final Chapter) stated my writing reminded him of ‘Children’s Performance Theatre.’  Taking Hugh’s evaluation to heart, I seriously decided to rewrite and refocus my STORY-B&&K-Series by tackling Screenwriting via this 7-Part Series called: 

SKiN: SACRED KINSHIP iN NATURE™

 HOW 10 BELOVED PLUSH TOYS REDEFINE RACE^©2009

 

‘iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS,’  (my Third Script in this multi-tiered Sequel) rose through the ranks and files to become a Scriptapalooza International Screenplay Competition Quarterfinalist Winner in 2010, beating out 3,164 others.  The Brainchild of Mark Andrushko, Scriptapalooza will soon to be celebrating its upcoming 15^TH Year Anniversary in February of 2013.  That particular Milestone occurred on Friday, July 23 of 2010; thereby spurring, igniting and catapulting a creative and conceptual Series of EVENTS that  will culminate in a Video in the near future.

 

Taken quite off-guard, this unexpected Winner made me think:

 

“Hmmm, since only Movie Industry Professionals read these Scripts, maybe ‘ANTS’ has a chance; maybe ‘ANTS’ has merit. Maybe Hope will find its Way into ‘the Colony’ as we say in FLUANT ANTESE. Therefore, what I wish to tell you about is that:  iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS ^©2009 is the Third of Seven Scripts in the:

 

SKiN: SACRED KINSHIP iN NATURE™

 HOW 10 BELOVED PLUSH TOYS REDEFINE RACE^©2009

Series.”

 

LogLine #1 goes like this:

 

ANTS: You can’t domesticate an ANT. Born to bug. Born to picnic. Born to invade. Born to endure. Appearing 130 million years ago to now set a Prime Example in my Featured Scripts and Manuscripts, THE ANT is the most underrated and misunderstood Insect on the PLANET.  Like Dogs, every ANT should get its Day. No longer the UnderDog, it’s the UNDERANT (not to be misconstrued with underpANT) whose Time has arrived.  Research their Activities (that’s ANTIVITIES) to see how deserving they are.  After all, look about you.  Look around. We are all ‘iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS.’ Who’s the real Pest? Let this serve as a Warning:  Watch (very carefully) where you step.

 

For the record, LogLine #2 further relays:  Meeting GiANT at the Muckety-Muck THE ANTS OF PROVANTS begin an ANTVENTURE where Mother Nature and Father Time explain 3 Mystifying Lessons that transcend every Species here on PlANeT Earth.  CHARACTANTS (as they are fondly called) is the Word I created and coined to encompass this Sphere.  Aesopian in nature, iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS also inspired me to write the ANTHEM or Theme Song aptly called  ANTICIPATION which is definitively not  a Spoof of Carly Simon’s 1971 Hit.  Wordicologists will smile and marvel at the clever 245 word ANTABULARY (the ANT’s SLANT dealing with their Vocabulary) that draws the Reader in to this Kingdom or ANTDOM.  As 2 Scripts and Manuscripts integrate and merge here, iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS emerges as Valuable Lessons where weeding your Way through the Complexity of Mixed Signals and Ironies received every Day for all Creatures both ‘Big and Little’ in whatever Shade of SKiN they are in leaves a deep and indelible Impression as to what really matters in and throughout Life.

 

Today, iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS has been rewritten into two lively Scripts and Manuscripts while the Cast of CHARACTANTS (comprised of the 31 Members in THE ANT FAMILY) slumber and hibernate till the best ANTIMATION (Animation, that is) Studio is found. DORMANT is the Buzz Word here. It applies, perfectly.  After all, ‘Collective Rest’ after a hard year’s work makes a Species as RESILIANT as ANTS are.  Just ‘ASK AESOP.’     

 

Now, I ASK you: 

 

Can We learn lots of invaluable Lessons from the ANTS?

Can ANTS entertain ‘The Masses?’

Can We generate lots of Jobs for People by producing iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS?

Can We ANTEREST a Global AUDIANTS with regards to the Marketing of a vast ASSORTMANT of ANT Products? 

Can We have lots of FUN with ANTS?

Can We tell a STORY that’s never been told before?

 

We surely can.

 

To brand them further, THE ANTS OF PROVANTS have their own Acronym (that has become the Script’s Subtitle), a first for their Phylum in their Life Cycle of 130 million years which will be unveiled in ‘due time.’ 

 

And, as ‘America’s Premier Eventologist,’ I have boldly proclaimed ‘August is ANT Appreciation Month ^©2010’ in order to further brand their Appeal.  Yes, ANTS do get in your Blood, as all memorable STORieS should.

With the ‘Groundwork’ already laid and the Stage now set:  Bring on THE ANTS OF PROVANTS.  Camera – Lights – ANTion!

 

IN CLOSING: Just as there is a lot going on ‘around’ you, there is also a lot going on ‘below’ you. Below your feet.  Below the carpet.  Below the baseboards.  Below the sidewalk. Way below the concrete. ‘Down there’ in a place where few Humans have dared to venture.

 

There are EVENTS happening ‘below’ that you would never believe are occurring, ever. Not even in a million years…if not longer, much, much longer.  iN THE COMPANY OF ANTS^©2009 is a STORY  where THE  ANTS defy any ANTAGONISTS who confront them, clearly befriending thousands of ANT SciANTists ANT Lovers and Enthusiasts (that’s ANTHUSIASTS, you know) across the World Wide ‘Web’ and all Social Networks.  The Study of ANTS is called Myrmecology and Myrmecologists at large clearly CAN’T be wrong. 

 

As for being an ANT of PROVANTS:  It’s a Picnic worth attending till the Cows come home!
