Plano East and Flower Mound Marcus June 31st game. East wins.

I spent my time by the Marcus team.  Needless to say, there were tears shed by the team members after the game, I felt emotional for them.  After the game, Christy Tumilty, Marcus head coach’s children came into the dugout, with little tears and sniffles.  They asked their mother why the girls were crying and why they were sad.  She told them that they were sad because it was over.  And one of the little boys said, “Well, it’s not over forever.”  She agreed and said, it was just over for now. 

After the game Tumily told her team that she was proud that they had come this far.

John Darrouzet Lawyer/Screenwriter and way interesting person

So today we had a screenwriter come in and talk to us. His name is John Darrouzet. 

He said that when he taught, people never wanted to discuss their own fear or private worries or their dreams.  So he had them watch movies and pretend they were collective dreams.  The reason he talked about dreams was explain the connection with dreams and how they help us solve problems and make decisions.  He learned this through studying Psychology. 

I thought about High Noon, but did not bring it up because he was talking.

This old western was shown to me in a Philosophy Class I took with Nick Braun a few years ago.  The main character is a named Will.  Nick pointed out the name and what Will, which had a double meaning, had decisions to make.  Was Will strong enough?  A person’s will.

 At the beginning of the class he asked us what are favorite movie was and I said 3-10 To Yuma and explained that I loved that the characters were faced with hard decisions and they changed and grew throughout the movie and with the relationships.

 He thought it was interesting that I brought that movie up and later said that that movie was the basis for what he and his partner at the time wrote, which later became the movie The Contract with Morgan Freeman and John Cusack.

 This link below is interesting.  It is a blog of Darrouzet’s in which he too talks about the movie Nick Braun had us discuss.

Sarah Renfro at Dan’s Silver leaf (Photo’s by Elizabeth Padilla)

Walking into the place I heard her voice.  Not only was I suprised to hear such a mature beautiful voice coming from someone as young as Sarah, but the words to her songs really moved me inside. Afterwards I asked her for the name of one of the songs.  It was called One Wheel, if I remember correctly.  It was beatiful.  She played a few instuments, but there were times where she played her voice.  The range went from one extream to another.   Sometimes it was, what I guess people mean by “bedroom voice” at other times it was like a yodel.  You can listen to a few songs on the link below..

Monday I got back to Denton from Houston.  I was exhausted after class.  Sarah Renfro was going to perform at Dan’s Silverleaf in Denton, TX, though so I figured I had to go take some photos and check her out.  She lives in New York, so I knew I probably wouldnt see her anytime soon.  She had performed in Austin a couple of days before.
