fly(fall

One can conceptualize vague or even specific conceptions pertaining to suicide without actually considering any sort of following through. If a doctor, or in my case, an imagined doctor, was to ask me, “Do you have suicidal thoughts?”, I might be forced to admit, “well, yes, I do, but they're thoughts, just thoughts-- details really-- most probably not my own.”


NoNithing sacred, and no curses, no jinxes in my worldview, boys. And so now I must wonder aloud with my wandering mind for picturing bridge-jumpers(fallers, better) that look like Howard Stern 'bout to land hard on their tail-bones(the paradox of landing on it seeming like such a sore place to land but not really if you think about it) or bus-jumpers coming out of dollar-stores (why were they shopping before they decided to end it all, why dollar-rama?).

My mind can fly(fall, better?). I must create and associate, but those thoughts are not necessarily always originating from a sense of loss or moroseness or explicit personalization; more often, even, they're merely delightful fits of many untamed observations; every cloud, every cloud's shadow, every shadow's contour, every contour's relation and contraster,-- but primed and re-primed ad infinitum.

Novel ideas like suicide or suicidal details, are just colours of impressions of shadows of contours of clouds ga nee no dollar stores are now: “Dollar Twenty-Five Stores” really and in my impatient opinion, they willingly and purposely distort many truths, thousands and thousands of them, mostly small and useless, too all citizens, even to the suicidally type folks (some surely leave complete with, Leather jackets. Wet-boots. A full pack of cigarettes. Invisibility. Worn Paper so soft in their pockets like cotton but forever.

my god! it's the next fucking day and I can't stop thinking about this movie.!!!

Enter The Void : Movie Review


Strangers, accidental readers, ghosts and the souls of code, above is the poster for the latest film by Gaspar Noe, the director of "Irreversible".

Not sure I wanna put too much in the review about the actual movie because it's so essential you go into it without knowing too much. I guess I don't want to reveal too much about the plot and I suggest that you steer clear of summaries, reviews, conversation and spoilers-- just go to the nearest theater that's playing it and watch it. It's new, daring, frightening, provocative and extremely discomforting. It's the most creative piece of modern cinema I've seen in a while.

Oh and seeing it high on pot helps as there are numerous psychedelic experience scenes that are both artful and very accurate.

It's not completely abstract though; there is a story but it's paired with the "Tibetan Book of the Dead" and the characters first-person perspective of being influenced by psychedelic drugs and more.

I still feel a bit rattled. I think you guys should watch it. Minus those that wouldn't watch it.


10/10


P.S., the opening credits MUST be seen. Don't be epileptic.

P.S.S., see it in a theater for full effect-- also, the pirated version online is an old 'first-cut' from 2009 but most of all, this director deserves to be rewarded $$$

P.S.S.S., it's loooong.

of smoke: E1, On A Train


In this body, the life within this body, there exists the promise and the history of smoke.

E1, On a Train: We poured into the train and I felt rough, like I could sneer and spit and piss in the corner. I wasn't misery itself but the sorry seed of it. The clouds all aboard, the cement and the sand, rotting leaves like gum underfoot, spoiling all sense of in-fashion, that is to say, my sneakers, gunmetal and clayed for the wrong-aged eyes of youth. And hurry R., while you can think: Don't retouch the bars because the hands that touch the bars are made filthy by the hands that touched the bars.
