Thank you for your fabulous words. Yo...Wow Kevin! Thank you for your fabulous words. You just proved to me without a doubt that there are others in the world who want the same things for their creative souls. It can and often is a great struggle to maintain a sense of personal worth in a world that places so much value on money and tangible goods. I have no choice but to be who I am and now I celebrate it every day. Still don't pay all the bills but now focus on what I love the most and have total trust the rest will work out just fine. <br />My boys are awesome young men, 19 and 23. I raised them as a single mom on my Faux Finish business since they were young and the challenges we faced have tempered them into such beautiful souls. They are very supportive me and Manos is just one more crazy thing their mom is doing. They listen and smile indulgently.DebbiesManoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281568498044694351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543930816445561229.post-6327554666302418782013-09-13T07:46:18.473-07:002013-09-13T07:46:18.473-07:00Hi Jackey,
I first came to your site only yester...Hi Jackey, <br /><br />I first came to your site only yesterday after seeing the MST3K Manos episode again and wanting to learn some background information about the film. Your blog has provided that information in spades, but I've also become very intrigued by the personal recollections you've shared. Not just the memories, but the way Manos has brought some things full circle in your life, helping you reconnect with your father and other cast members, meet so many great people who were entertained by the previously long-lost film, and find opportunities to share your artwork. I'm also inspired by the way you keep focused on your art instead of pursuing other careers that, while they might be more financially stable, could be soul-eroding. You're right in that you don't so much choose to be an artist as art chooses you. It's a drive that needs to be fulfilled, and to ignore it will leave you feeling emptiness. I do hope that you're able to put your Manos experiences together into a book. The full arc of being a part of this obscure movie that became infamous and led to so many positive things in your life is such a great story. And if it can help pay the bills a little bit, even better. :) Thanks again, Jackey, for sharing this part of your life on your blog. I do have one question, although I hope it isn't too personal. You've briefly mentioned your sons before. Have you shared much about Manos and the related family legacy with them, and what is their perspective on it? <br /><br />Take care,<br />KevinKevinhttp://www.spacethecomic.comnoreply@blogger.com
