The real and imaginative adventures of Dennis Spielman

Mentally: The Writing Process


The Characters! The Characters! The Characters! They’ve come alive to tell their story to me as I write.


Behind the Photo: You can’t really tell, but I have my book, The Crashing of the Heaven and Hell, on my word processor on my iMac’s screen. The idea behind this self-shot was to have various characters talk to me as I write, which I like how it turned out. I was worried about the shadows from the black coat self, but that didn’t turn out to be an issue.

Dinner with Me, Myself, and I


I’ve been feeling lonely lately, so I decided to have Me, Myself, and I together for dinner.

It didn’t go so well…


Deeper Artistic Meaning: This picture tells the tale of one cycle of depression and loneliness. In the blue shirt sitting east with the rise of the sun, we feel bright, sky high, refreshed, and ready to live. As we move toward the middle of the day, we don’t feel so high and we’re bit a more grounded, playing with our technology to distract us from our loneliness. As the sun sets, the voices in our head emerge to tell us how worthless we are and all we want to do is cut the voices.

Behind the Photo: This self-shot picture was my first time to play around with the idea of multiple selfs in the same shot. I had fun making it and created more. I did have to tell people on Facebook that I was honestly okay.

Porn for Women

To help to finance my projects, I was thinking of turning to Porn for Women. Here’s a self-shot picture of me cooking a vegetarian meal while ironing and doing the dishes. I also have a bowl full of chocolates.


Deeper Artistic Meaning: What turns on people? Attraction is so much more than appearance, but metal as well.

Behind the Photo: I brought the ironing board earlier that day. I took this self-shot before actually ironing with it. To be honest, the iron wasn’t plugged in, the was nothing cooking, and the dishes weren’t being washed. I do own that cookbook.

Favorite Finds – Feb. 23

Night Rhymers at Beans & Leaves


Saturday night I went and saw some friends in their improve troupe, Night Rhymers, perform at Beans & Leaves. It was my frist time at Beans & Leaves. It’s a cool coffee shop. They have a good set up for a make-shift stage that helps project voices. I filmed the video above for them.

Crazy Brain


This my brain too sometimes.


Did you know: There is a reply to “Liar, Liar, pants are on fire.” Come back with, “I don’t care, I don’t care, I can buy another pair.”

Favorite Finds – Feb. 16

I’m starting a weekly post of my favorite things I’ve found during the week. Let’s see how this goes.

Doctor Who Jokes

Saved by the Doctor
Are you a weeping angel?

50 Shades of Domestic Grey


I love SMBC Theater’s shorts.

Now!


Paramore’s new song, Now, has been stuck in my head. Their music video was released this week and it’s awesome. And the ending, chokes me up a bit.

Harlem Shake v.6669


I may be a bit late, but I actually learned about the Harlem Shake meme this week. I’ve heard of it, but I just never paid any attention to it and knew exactly what elements are in the Harlem Shake. They seem like a fun video to make. IGN’s was cleverly nerdy. The video above is a Not-Safe-For-Work harlem shake made by a guy I know locally for a business. There’s just so much going on.
