It's New Year's Eve and a significant milestone occurred just yesterday and it did sneak up on me. On December 30th, 16 years ago while visiting my parents during my Winter break, Savage Cinema was born!!!
This was the day when I began writing in earnest and fully engaging with my creative spirit and while I have not been writing nearly as much these last few years, i remain proud of this milestone for it is still here and everything that I have ever accomplished since this day only happened because of this day.
Without Savage Cinema, Synesthesia never happens.
Without Savage Cinema, my Savage Substack never happens, especially as I am using that space as a means to re-inspire myself by re-posting previously written pieces, giving myself the confidence that what I have accomplished before can be accomplished in the future. Yes, it frustrates me that I have a few reviews that have begun but were never finished or others that I just never had the time to even begin writing at all. But, I am determined. I remain intrepid. I know that I can continue. 16 years ago told me that I could.
To that end, I doubt I would have found the courage to even try to create Savage Radio for WVMO, which then led me to do midday and late night guest DJ mini shows as well as the monthly Vinyl-A-Go Go alongside two of my DJ brothers.
My artistic life really started 16 years ago yesterday and none of it could have ever happened without your encouragement and support because if you only knew how scared I was to hit that “PUBLISH” button for the very first time.
I can talk myself out of anything and somehow, on this day 16 years ago…I didn’t.
I listened.
Thank you.
