The human condition

There is nothing more "it's all an illusion/ all life is a state of impermanence" than the Man City story. Crisis is when the truth overpowers the illusion. Go easy on the Man City fans. Their pain is unbearably real. It will feel like death. It is a collective ego death. It will illicit depression, grief and anger. It could have happened to any one of us at our clubs. It's too easy to say they are deluded. When your very sense of identity is under threat, when the past is revealed to have been a lie, your very sense of self is shattered and you will do anything to cling to it, fight for it. This happens to so many of us at some point in our life - the job, the relationship, the status, the external evidence that gives us a sense of value, will, at some point be challenged and bring upon us a crash in self worth and value. This is part of our journey here. It's why we age, why we lose, why we die. Everything is in a constant state of decay and loss - on the outside. The lesson is you are really here to focus on the inside - which never grows old, depreciates or dies. The Man City story is not new. It is very much part of the fabric of this world. When it happens collectively - to a fan base, a nation, a community, a culture, an ethnic group, a religion - it feels like the end of the world, because it really is the end of the world, the external world, the thing we have looked to for our sense of self and value. It is a death. A grief. A loss. But it is also the greatest tool for spiritual growth and expansion and I don't mean religion. True spiritual growth. The power that exists within you - not outside you. The delusion we accuse Man City fans of, is their ego death rattle. Give them space. They are, at some level, fighting tooth and nail to stay alive. We should not be cruel to them. We should be kind. Let them work through it. It is, after all, a catastrophe. They are football fans like us. We all love the game in the same way. Every one of us. It is such a beautiful game because of its simplicity and because of its wonder. Because of its universality. The stars in the game will come and go. Clubs will rise and fall. But the game will live on. Enjoyment in their demise is ghoulish. Be careful, it may not happen to your club but any one of us is one step away from it happening in our lives - the diagnosis, the job loss, the accident, the "out of the blue" circumstances that force us to look inwardly. The theft, the "bad luck", the changes outside our control. We are all on a journey of surrender and no life is free of it. I feel sorry for Man City fans. Truly sorry.

Man City & its fanbase learning what money can/ cannot buy. Like a narcissist on their death bed suddenly seeing the truth. You can buy/ manipulate to win status, trophies, influence. You cant buy love. The beautiful game is built on love. We all forgot that. City more than most

Making "Two Kids"... such a joy. Summer of Love. This is not official behind scenes... just my own clips. #twokidsfilm

My feature film "Two Kids" has officially wrapped. I'd let it go... surrendered and by some miracle I found myself with the money and the most wonderful team around me (crew/ actors/ insane location set up) in the Summer of Love 2026. The film is love. Can't wait to share it.

Things come up on my shuffle and I think... Damn this is good. I check to see who it is and then find it's my teenage son. He writes beyond his years open.spotify.com/track/5mTBd…

Cannot wait. Announcement in a few weeks. This was my view. Summer of love. Yorkshire. (click pause). #flicktease

With current project, yet to he announced, I am going on a magical journey of musical discovery... youtu.be/hWj0qXr6N4o?is=3d8M…

“Qué me pasa doctor?” (‘What’s Up, Doc?’) de Peter Bogdanovich nunca pasará de moda. Todo en la película funciona a la perfección. Todo. Una de las mejores comedias norteamericanas de la historia, que sufrió la habitual ignorancia de la temporada de premios precisamente por ser una comedia alocada y tremendamente comercial. La película protagonizada por Barbra Streisand y Ryan O’Neil fue un enorme éxito en 1972, con más de 65 millones en la taquilla solo en Estados Unidos, convirtiéndose en un fenómeno de la temporada. Esta escena es historia del cine.

Hello #London Its so good to see you again. I've missed you

With the greatest crew having a wonderful time in deepest Yorkshire... manifesting all things good for our project with the #eclipse

“Nobody will hire you.” TOOTSIE (1982) 89 Candles 🎂 today for the 2-time Oscar winner DUSTIN HOFFMAN

Mike Nichols had Robin Williams and Nathan Lane nail the scripted version first, then let them cut loose. That balance is why THE BIRDCAGE (1996) never falls apart. The improvisation feels wild, but the film’s precision is always holding it together.

The final 15 minutes of THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY (1966) are Leone at the height of his powers. The Ecstasy of Gold pulls you into the cemetery, then the film keeps tightening the tension until the Triello delivers one of cinema’s greatest payoffs.

It was written around 1975, but it wasn’t released until 1979. I can’t believe it’s been almost 50 years.❤️
