“Your love grew on me like vines, tangling your way into my heart and into my bones. Your touch sprouted flowers in my soul and your voice planted stars in the sky. Please stay mine. Where in 10 years we can wake up together, have a cup of coffee, dance in our underwear. Let’s be fearless from the world and explore it every opportunity we get. Let’s conquer the face of the mountains and have picnics in the middle of the flower fields. Let’s travel the Atlantic and Pacific and cuddle in the jungles of South Africa. We’ll introduce ourselves to the wildlife and make friends of all different cultures. Let’s cuddle in bed before work as long as we possibly can and play video games until dawn. Please stay mine. Your love grew on me like vines, tangling your way into my heart and into my bones.”

This is probably going to get quoted in every publication just because I said it. And I’m not even saying anything. I’m not talking about my films, I’m not talking about my life, and I’m not talking about the world. And yet, the media will print it simply because I said it. And at this moment in time, I bet there is an artist around the corner of this hotel, on the street, with a mind far beyond ours, but we will never listen to him simply because he has not appeared in a movie. And that is what is fucked up about our culture.

“But if you willing to try, then I’m willing to leap
Out of the window of pain and fall in love at your feet”

This song perfectly describes my relationship with Devin.

Memory

Together As One ‘09-‘10 was one of the most fun rave events I’ve attended. Devin and I were rolling on 2 and a half good ones. To make this short, I remember being completely gone with Devin at the DnB tent, dizzily seeing ravers all around me, and having Devin slowly inserting another roll in my mouth. Those were the days.

There are times

when I scroll through my dash and I come across a post/image that doesn’t appeal to me. Sometimes it even makes me question why I’m following the idiot. Isn’t tumblr supposed to be a networking site with pictures and resources reflecting and/or reinforcing my interests (in anything material, intellectual, informational, musical, visual etc)? Logging on is supposed to make me comfortable knowing that I will be scrolling through a dashboard of similar taste, right?

Wrong.

I brush my shoulders off and tell myself to get over it because I don’t want to just be exposed to, for a lack of a better word, stuff that I will enjoy. I want to be exposed to discomfort, confusion, annoyance, awe, difference, and unpredictability. Because in a way, it kind of adds to the fun. Don’t presume I’m some loser applying this logic to only tumblr, for I actually use this concept to help me get through the real world. Even though I (may) come across ‘stuff’ that I do not agree with, I still tolerate through attempting to understand. All thanks to the reminder of keeping an open mind.

I’m feeling extra mopey because today’s culture is too fragmented artistically and rewards individuality above all else so pursuing any kind of artistic/musical career seems particularly fruitless.
Post-modernism sucks, and it’s not going to change because of technology, the internet, etc., unless another world-changing, world-unifying event happens; an event that equates in size to WWII, and its impact on art, music, and literature.
Anything that is new or cutting-edge is just going to be continually swept under the rug and thrown into its own category or genre, with its own separate, unique following and fan-base like it already is.
Blech.

I want a friend to engage in an intellectual, informative conversation on the Los Angeles Riots that occurred 20 years ago. Bonus if our conversation would date back to the other riots prior to the ones in the 1990s.

But I do not have friends like that.

I have a white, valley girl accent that’s subtly mixed with a New York accent (which I’ve picked up on from my dad & his side of the family).

Ok.

But on you will go
though the weather be foul
On you will go
though your enemies prowl
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak.

On and on you will hike
and I know you’ll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.

You’ll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You’ll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life’s
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.

Oh the Places You’ll Go, Dr. Suess
Amigos

Here at school, I absolutely have no friends. I have met three individuals who are potential (good) friends, but each of them either have jobs, belong to other social cliques, and/or surround themselves with idiots (believe me when I judge them as idiots).

Back at home, I have about five friends tops. The situation above is similar to this because each of them either have jobs, go to school, party wayyyyy too much, and/or ends up with us annoying each other.

I’m not going to look inward and ask myself the reasoning behind this because that’s not how “friends” work. Friends are supposed to happen out of fate/karma, in my opinion. Sure, I’ve actually taken a look in the mirror and have tried to figure out what’s wrong with me… and believe me I came up with a list. However, my conclusion has nothing to do myself. I don’t care if you disagree; my conclusion is that there will never be someone who will mutually meet me at my level. There will never be someone without ignorance, immaturity, insensitivity, irresponsibility, impatience, parochiality, stupidity, etc. Don’t yell at me because I’m not saying I do not have any of that because there are days that I apply to one, two, or maybe all of the above. My conclusion refers to the reality behind the truth.

The truth is that every one is too different. Or maybe I’m too different. And I will never know how to feel about that.
