About me:
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Luminetik is an Animation Studio that Produces and Creates their own intellectual properties. A current teen franchise for both feature film and video games will begin with a short called Kuriocity. I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN YOUNG ADULT NOVELS BY OTHER AUTHORS FOR FILM PRODUCTION & VIDEO GAME PRODUCTION.

Our website is:

Luminetik

Production Trailer showing the production process can be seen here:

Luminetik Trailer

The star and lead of the film is a character known as Alex featured on her own My Space page...www.myspace.com/alex the supehero. Here is a taste of her story.

Surrounded in a world filled with technology and driven by pain. The sky above me burns with a horrible chemical from a war driven society in the distant past. Why? What is this place? Cybercor...Hmmmm...is this home? I have no idea where I came from.I was created and genetically engineered by a famous scientist... without a face. One day...he disappeared. A sudden departure leaving behind an unexplained mystery... Abandoned with no memories. I began my journey to find him and find my identity. Something about me is different from those around me. It seems I possess extraordinary powers and abilities beyond expectations. My question is...how do I have these abilities? Who am I? What am I? Only one person can answer this. I must locate this scientist to find out the big picture. Otherwise, I am completely lost. Why leave me alone without my identity? Am I friend or foe? What is the intent of my existance? My emotions confuse me. Emotions are a new thing for me. I don't even know why. I just feel things. Things I don't understand. Why does all this matter? I must be human. What happened to me and my memories? How does one end up like this? I have met this group of people who want me to lead them to their destiny. I am told, that "The destiny of this girl will save the destiny of a world." Cybercor? I give them a blank stare as I look around me. What is there left to save? I see a world torn in half. Destroyed by it's own ego and exploited expectations. I don't know where I am or who I am. All I want is a simple answer. What the hell am I? Superhero? So they say, but I don't believe. I don't even know my identity. I just want to be a girl, just like any other girl. I want my life back. Can you help me?

Thanks so much for being my friend, Akiko!

I am stopping by to say "hi" and to remind you that in addition to MySpace, you can visit with me on Twitter and Facebook. I also have a personal blog on StockValues.

I write mostly about farming/gardening and stock/bond investing, but also anything else that rattles my cage. Please stop by when you get a chance.

Had a thought while driving home and I wanted to share it. Hope you don’t mind…

When we truly let go of past hurts, hang-ups and disappointments and choose to live in the moment, in the now, in the PRESENT, life truly can be a GIFT.

Hope you liked this one. :)




Also, if you like these, shoot me comments letting me know, join me on my Facebook page and when I send you a link to my website once it gets finished next week, be sure to go it and sign up and I’ll send these to you there as well. Take care

Sometimes when i look around, all i see is misery, despair, frustration and pain...

Then, i close my eyes, take a couple deep breaths, RELAX...And ask myself, "WHAT IF all I saw was what I WANTED TO SEE?" Then, I open my eyes. I see the sun, I see the blue sky, I see my girls smiling back at me, I see life...

And then, lo and behold, I see nothing but OPPORTUNITY...

Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)

Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)

The trick is to stay focused on what you want to happen and let go of what you do not... cuz if you keep seeing things as they are, convincing yourself that you "have to" because that's reality, then it will always be your reality. want to change? it's as simple as changing the who, what, how, why and when of what you look at and FOCUS on... DAILY :)

Tankism #25 Happy Father's Day :)
PS: see if you can "see" the picture below. It's pretty cool...

Failure is the best part of success. They are like yin and yang; you can’t have one without the other. So learn to celebrate your failures. Truly successful people even say they are successful because they have failed more than anyone they know. They keep trying and each time it doesn’t work, it’s just a learning experience. So, go out there, Fail, Learn, Succeed. Fail, Learn, Succeed. Say it with me now, Fail. Learn.. Succeed!!!

Put it this way, you CANNOT get hung up on when something doesn’t go your way. If you stay fixated on the failure, then you cut off the other two steps: Learn and Succeed. Fight the temptation to dwell on the failure with EVERYTHING you’ve got. Get excited about failing! Then Learn, Then Succeed!!!
