Dean Noble somersault/ Alaska Highway Museum

Dean Noble doing somersault and backflip at swimming pool from Dean Noble on Vimeo.




I decided to visit the pool just to do a somersault and backflip. When I got there, the diving board was not opened yet, so I just swam regularly in other pools, in the shallow wading pool, breaststroke, treading water, dog paddle, etc.

Finally, the moment came. I did one set of a somersault and backflip and then I saw that I had not turned on the camera yet. I turned it on, and did a second set of flips recorded here.

I am planning to go to the swimming pool and film myself doing flips every once in awhile. Doing something like that is good for the soul.

Like at every swimming pool, there were some sexy female lifeguards there. A lot more women will want to know me after seeing this video. I would like to score a real quality girlfriend, rather than the losers that I usually wind up with. A girl from the middle to upper class. Young; around my age, and rich.

As a coach, I would say that these flips are unacceptable. If they were on the ground, if I were doing a somersault, I would land on my ass, and if I were doing a backflip, I would land on the top of my head and knees simultaneously. This reminds me of that Bruce Willis movie where the bad guys screw up the airplane's altimeter so that the azimuth read a ground level much than was the reality, so the plane's computer landed thinking that the landing altitude was lower.
That is sort of what happened with my diving board endeavour. But as flips of themselves, they are not too bad. Not bad for someone who is nearly 40.
Martial arts masters of the Shaolin temple can do flip like this into their sixties, if they practice yoga.


I posted these videos, martial arts dance, somersaults, yoga, drawings, artwork, so that people could know me as well as I know me. Before this, I was the only one who knew for sure that I could do these things.

This is a drawing of a black and white photograph of the hotel that was once in Vancouver. This hotel was demolished over 70 years ago. An old hotel.
This hotel was demolished brick by brick, plank by plank, in a controlled demolition. I hope that CBC does a documentary about this old hotel, although only just a few photos survive.
This is going to be part of the set design for Seize The Day, as this is the hotel that the main character, Tommy Wilhelm lives in.


*************

In the original Saul Bellow novel, Tommy Wilhelm goes to a funeral on the way to looking for Tamkin, but he never does contact Tamkin.
In this version, it ends with Tommy Wilhelm calling his wife on the phone, a conversation, and then the wife hangs up the phone and it is a nice day outside.
In either version, Tamkin is not contacted so I thought it would be redundant to reconstruct the funeral scene in Wilhelm winds up not being able to contact Tamkin anyways.
In virtually every movie made about a book, fans will complain that the movie left out parts of the book. A Simple Plan, the film was totally different from the book. In the popular new movie, Twilight; New Moon, there are fans who say, "The movie left out parts from the book." Stanley Kubrick got letters like that from his movies.
I got a comment on one of my YouTube videos today, November 31, 2009, to the effect that one of my videos had left out parts from the book, and that the images seemed randomly connected. That is what the weekly movie reviewers on the News say about just about every movie.
So much so that one could say that a career in film making is not complete until you get a "your-movie-left-out-parts-of-the-book" letter.
George Lucas once said, "There is no such thing as a finished film, there are only projects that are walked away from."
He should know, in his 1977 movie STAR WARS, he left out parts that were portrayed in the Dell Ballantyne paperback novel STAR WARS which HE actually wrote! So, I am in distinguished company.

Update: I think I will try to finish this cartoon with the funeral scene ending featured in the novel.
