an introduction

Remember when I told you kids that you can send in a post to tsilb.blog@gmail.com and it’d get read and maybe posted? Yeah, here’s the first one of the sort. It’s by some dude named Joshua James (if you read this post, you’d know that!), and it’s pretty alright.

Hey, the five people who will read this thing. I have come to you from the present day and it is filled with incredibly generic opening blogs. My prime directive is to entertain and enlighten the public through the visually pleasing medium of film and the imagination inducing world of blog writing. I’ve had but one blog before on Xanga which was regular for a time but eventually came to a screeching hault in which people new very little about me and what they did know was found out through interpretations of my short fiction. Granted I was only thirteen years old and only two of my fifteen subscribers actually read that. So I, by nature of growth and the very high probability that I could kick your ass if you attempted to kidnap or do anything to me I didn’t want you to (and I’ll only want you to if I know you outside of the magical internet universe), I shall let you know some important but not private things about myself. If you’re lucky, I’ll reveal the ridiculously intricate corners of my mind.

My real name is the incredibly generic Joshua James, according to google I am an indie musician somewhere in his early twenties with long black hair and incredibly pale and white. According to Youtube I’m many things that I don’t care to go in detail about, mainly because I didn’t bother looking at them. In reality (and according to a few Youtube videos) I am the all powerful leader of a really tiny group of teenagers who make short films. Our name, Dream Weaver Productions. Our purpose, show what can be done with a bit of talent, creativity and a badass JVC digital video recorder. They call me the Dream Weaver… and Dadddy Long Legs… and Chocolate Thunder. But mainly the Dream Weaver.

I do quite a bit for the group, mainly because I’m one of three who isn’t incredibly busy and actually wants to make a living doing this. That and the others I know haven’t quite developed some of the things I bring the table (i.e. a camera, martial arts experience, the lack of a life, etc.) A lot of the time, I do the writing and directing because we likely won’t do anything unless I have an idea and put pen to paper or finger to keyboard. Moviemaking is my greatest passion and it is something I’d dearly love to make a living out of it even if I only have a tiny loyal indie following. Ironically, my best girl friend is in love with science. Polar opposites do attract apparently.

From me you can expect to hear a lot about movies, life, love, people, understanding, the philosophical pasts realted to the martial arts and the path of self-discovering along with the utter bullshit that guys tend to talk about. Like sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. Mostly the sex that I’m not having the rock n’ roll that I can barely play. For now I bid you farewell and hope that my one or two fans had fun with this. Sleep tight and I’ll stitch a beautiful dream for you.

An-nyong-ee keseyo,
The Dream Weaver
