Ask and you shall receive

Oh, Viggo. My morning cup of coffee goes so well with you.

I am thinking of you this morning after I read some of the Quotable Viggo section in Viggo-works. I've often said in the past that, one wish I have before I die, was to meet you in person. Yes, very lame and loser-ish. But I can't help how or what I feel. Well, I've had that now. One wish completed. I talked to you, and you talked to me back. You briefly glanced up at my face (probably looked at my teeth, argh!) and then you pulled me aside gently by touching my elbow to answer my question of "Would there be a wide showing of Good in the U.S?" I know, it's lame but I had to ask that. It kills me when your movies does not get a wider audience, especially a worthy movie like Good.

My one wish came true, and I will remember (I hope so) for the rest of my life of that night with him. One wish amongst others, but this one is one of the most special one. A moment of light. A moment of innocent happiness. I thank my lucky stars --one in particular.

My Personal Viggo





Ahah! Finally with my own hands, I captured the image of my man. It's not great but to now look at him and to be able to say, I did that is really something. I've got so many things to say about my encounter with him, but for now, I'll digest and savor in my own way and dissect every moment and relive with such relish. The experience is mine, all mine, for now. What a man, he truly is.

Quotable Viggo

It is a constant, but worthwhile battle to try and make the most of doubts and not be overwhelmed by them.

From Me To You

Hello Viggo,

I have been neglecting in keeping up with your posts lately, for that I apologize. In fact, I've been slacking in my duty as your devoted fan of late, to the point that I have not even bought Appaloosa on DVD although it has been out for two weeks! I haven't forgotten you though. I'm still checking percevalpress and Viggo-works.com for your news and updates. I still think you are the most incredible human being and your insights, your analysis, your artistic expressions, your humanities are fantastic and beyond comparison with anyone.

This is just to say that you still are my number one. And yes, I am still crazy about you.

End 2008 With Viggo's Message

The man know how to say the right things at the right time..as always.

Here's wishing all creatures on this earth luck, love, and good health in winter and in summer as we go into what most people like to call 2009. Of course, it is not possible for every being to live lucky and healthy lives all at once, but we can be loving. There are choices we can make, from moment to moment. We can join ourselves and others, choose to see the ties that unite us, feed us, make our lives what they actually are. We at Perceval Press certainly thank you for participating in our journey.
A special Happy 100th Birthday wish to the Montreal Canadiens - Joyeux Anniversaire! To all fans of San Lorenzo de Almagro I suggest that, now that we have spoken our minds about the perceived misfortunes and systemic injustices of the championship that closed out our centennial year of 2008, we look to the unfolding present, heads high, and get on with life. Aguante Cuervo!
