Once upon a Time/Things you might Need

One day,many years ago,i and my new girlfriend were walking down a
sidewalk in the East Village,in N.Y.C...A number of people had set up little area's
where they were selling all kinds of odd's and ends.Nothing very valuble,
just a total mish-mash of pretty ragged looking stuff.Just as we were about
to turn away i noticed the vendors sign-"THINGS YOU MIGHT NEED"and for some reason the phrase seemed very funny to me and my girlfriend and we started to
laugh.The vendor started to laugh too ! Because of that sign we had one of the
best afternoons of our live's.We laughed alot and we loved even more.

Movies on Dvd-"The Scarlet Letter"-1934

by Pete Holly

This movie "The Scarlet Letter" made in 1934,star's Colleen Moore,who
at the time was one of,if not Hollywoods biggest female star.Believe it
or not-this is the only other adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's amazing
and extremly famous novel of the same name beside's the more recent version
in which actress "Demi Moore" play's the story's central figure,"Hester Prynn".
Unfortunatly for Demi Moore,her attempt to give the "Hester Prynn" charactor
a more modern touch not only bombed at the Box Office-but with the critics
as well.There was simply nothing in the modern film version that engaged the
audience with the charactors in the film.So many liberities were taken that
deviated greatly from the essence of the original Hawthorne novel that the
story made little,if any sense,and the actors performances tended to reflect
the pointless screenplay by apprearing aloof,unengaged and worst of all,boring.
While this 1934 version of "The Scarlet Letter" is not perfect.It's very
entertaining and it does stay true to the Hawthorne novel.It's somewhat
surprizing that a sound film made in the 1930's seems to be in perfect shape.
There isn't one visual or sound flaw in this old film.It play's perfectly.
Someone obviously took very good care of this film and we,the audience,
are the benifactor's of thier determination to keep the film in perfect condition.
It's simply a "Great Movie" and a very respectable interpretation Nathaniel
Hawthornre's timeless novel.

Poetry

by Pete Holly


In the trunks of old car's-found in San Fransisco,
Chinese Swords and Big Thick Dragon Vase's,Red and Dragon Black
and Gold-
We lost the sword in a move but held on to the Dragon Vase-
Once as i lay choking to death by blood-
My face a bloody Battered Death mask-gasping for air !
as hands choked off my last breath of air-i died-went unconsious-
To the other side-
When i awoke the heavy body on my chest-Had vanished !
The blood ran down my face-a sharp cracking pain-where the back
of my head had been bashed over and over into the expensive-
Spanish Tile-till my brain felt broken' into little pieces-rolling around in my
Skull-Brain matter slammed into bone-
The tiles now splattered with blood-as i started to breath again-
and stars flew away-shooting away death-forcing me to breath-
And bringing me to back to Life-My head collapsed Sideways-in pain
and exhaustion-and there in front of my eye's came slowly into focus-
The Chinese Dragon Vase-broken like a skull-laying there-the sharp-
cutting corners-of Life-crushed inside my Brain-through the Skull-
To stay locked inside for eternity-a balance-force-that will not disappear-ever

LEARNING HOW WE LEARN FROM EXPIERIENCE

"A Boy in the 60's-Growing-up in Anderson,California"

by Pete holly

I remember as a young boy-i liked to go for walks along the banks of the Sacremento
River-we lived right on it's bank's.I'd walk along the river banks and through the Quiet Suberban streets of Anderson;a town of only 2000 people ! Some times i'd walk to a little store that was about a mile away.It had every kind of candy on earth.For just a nickel and a dime you
could buy more candy than you could eat.
One day i was walking around the closest block to our house and it was a really hot quiet
day{115 was not unusual in the summertime}.Not a single person seemed to be at home or
around.Suddenly,i thought of the very first time i had walked around this block about 5 years
earlier.I noticed something strange however.Even though the nieghborhood hadn't changed
at all,something made it look differant to me.Then,i had a clearity of thought.The niegborhood
didn't look the same to me-because i had changed.Alot had happened over those 5 years.I knew
most every family in the niegborhood and they knew me.I also knew all thier secrets-or a least enought of thier secrets that could no longer see the the Block the way i did when i didn't know
anyone or anyhing about them.I knew there were people who lived on the block who had serious
problems.In the 60's-even in a sleepy little town in northern California-Anderson-people had
serious problems.Some had son's that had died in vietnam-some drank to much-one of my best
friends mother seemed like she did nothing but drink all day long.But she wasn't mean or any- thing like that that-in fact i remember her being quite nice.Everyone was nice but the times were not nice-and we all knew it.Nobody talked about it.I was fasinated by the way people didn't talk about anything serious.Nobody asked questions when someone had "the Flu"."Oh yeah-
it's going around,thats what i hear"-and that's what children heard too.But i think most of us,
even alot of the kids-knew it wasn't "the Flu".It was something more serious,so we didn't talk
about it.But it was strange how it made the neighborhood look differant.That was really a
revelation to me at age 10.
