Perils of assimilation

If only life came with subtitles.

Peel away the skin, and this is what you get:

I love art. Seriously, I can stand in front of a painting for hours and not get bored. I love Rembrandts and Vermeers, Magrittes and Picassos. There is this one Magritte painting that I want to recreate in real life so badly. Just gotta find a willing participant first.

But I also love works by Alex Grey, which L. introduced me to, and Robert Venosa, whose work I saw at Entheon, and just blew my mind.

One of my fovorite of Venosa's works, Asrtal Circus, looks like it's painted out of water, and each time you look it's different and you notice the clever things he did. I kept coming back to it, it's just so mesmerizing. The conceptual art he did for the movie Dune is amazing as well. Perhaps that film would have turned out as something other than crap if Venosa's work hd been used. I loved his depiction of a crysknife.

Alex Grey depicts bodies on an astral plane, sometimes stripped of their skin and powerful. Apparently, L. got to meet him at the Entheon event prior to the one I went to. It's like a spiritual Body Word exhibit (I've only seen pictures of that, though. The museum was closed when I tried to go).

I just recently discovered "I'm too Sad," a series of portaits of people crying. I love it because sadness is pure in a world where nothing is pure at all. Sometimes the photos seem too posed, but do you really take pictures of yourself when your sad? no, this requires some planning. Do some of these people force themselves to cry just for the collection? And if it is real, how do the subjects feel after being recorded at their most raw and vulnerable.

Bill Sullivan's series of people at Turnstiles is something I've been trying to capture for years. His photos turned out much better than mine, of course, considering he doesn't use disposable cameras. Capturing the faces at a point where they don't have to be in any societal role, and just themselves is so elusive, and even with the lack of a role to fulfill, they are all following the same route, the same path and from that one point scatter into the spheres of their lives. Sullivan's elevator series is also delightful.

Little People -- you just have to check it out. tiny and clever.

Razor Apple covers NY graffiti, and my favorite, the Wooster Collective, covers graffiti and subversive art from all around the world. It's awful how the graffiti in EC only lasts for a few days. The city simply can't allow any art to marr its precious reputation.

I've posted these links, have fun.

Problems

One of the problems I have encountered within myself is my desire for what isn't with in my reach. Distance only increases my hunger for it. I don't lt this consume me, which is the most I can really do, and I concentrate on within. The universe always balances itself out. That's one thing I'm sure of. That mantra saves me a lot of worry and stress, though it does cause me to brush off many things as unimportant.

See? Blessing and curse= Balance.

Everything is Janus-faced.

EC blues

Ahh, the serene banks of the Chippewa river... one of the few reasons I am still in Eau Claire.

I detest how I cannot study what I wish here. I have to go through bullshit and drudgery before I can do any actual scholarship. I LOVE to learn, and I really don't feel like I'm learning anything here. I feel like my grip on the french language has sadly slackened, We're not doing anything significant in English, and I don't even bother to show up to Math.

I want to study medieval literature, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens, I want to dig into Plato and Keirkegaard, Kant and Hegel. I want to STUDY. And I just can't do that until I've gotten through the pointless 100 and 200 level classes required. I am so fucking jealous of the Shimer curriculum. I want history and philosophy and religion and languages and even science! I should look into other schools that can offer me intense acedemics, not necessarily Shimer, but somewhere. The big problem I run into is money. I can't afford a private school, even with loans and financial aid. But if this IS what I truly want, it'll work itself out. Things tend to do that.

This week has been surreal

I can't believe how quick this week has gone by. I had a crazy time, which I'll get around to writing about in the near future. I have never met so many great and crazy people all in one place (not including Dave's place, of course).

Snapshots:

I ran into this one guy I had briefly met over the summer strumming a banjo and wearing a large farmers hat outside of the IIT building. No joke.

Almost missing and missing my connections, which was less than ideal, needless to say.

Meeting up with people heading in the same direction and hanging out the entire way.

Barbequeing at IIT, with Grill Master Adam at the helm.

Discovering that there AREN'T any quiet places in Chicago. Period.

Wishing I could stay longer.

The Bean.

Emotional turmoil.

Sex, drugs and Socrates: guess which one I participated in.

Getting a personal bass guitar performance.

Getting angry at public transportation and drunk people.

Paying way too much to feed one of my addictions.

City thoughts

Time in cities does not operate the same as elsewhere. It is swift and nonlinear, like the city itself. My mind is like the city. Cobwebby and chaotic, it is patches of history layered upon itself, the cracks creeping along the surface. Despite the chaos, it has a structure to it, flow of people and streets. It has a schedule, like the El, not nessascerily on time, rickety, old and somewhat dangerous, but it gets there. There is a similar structure to all things that flow: rivers, words, time. It is born from chaos, tumbling wildly, cycling through itself, swift and violent. But it FLOWS ON. It moves forward, subject to gravity and physics. It is finite and infinite at the same time. We all flow, we are all infinite and finite.

Self-expression

I am perplexed by my inablitiy to express myself. Around some people, I do not talk a lot. This is not because I have nothing to say but because I think whatever I say comes out as inane drivel or if it is significant, it isn't worded the way I want. So, I keep my mouth shut. I realize this unnerves some people, as they are accustomed to hearing chatter. But my heavy clay toungue lies inert in my mouth, unable to communicate. I want to communicate what I want, surely, but I just can't. I'm worried by this. What I want to say comes out in my writing, only a small fraction of which ends up on here, my poetry and musings. I usually carry a small notebook on me for such occasions that I need to write, which I have forgotten in EC this week.

Moving out

whoa...so I guess I'm getting kicked out of the house completely in the fall. My mother told me to pack up my books. I consider my home to be where ever I keep my books, my constant companions. And if my books aren't here, then this is not my home. Scary because I have so much unfinished business in this area and a few best friends I am not willing to let go of. At least I'll get to spend Thursday with two of them.

Comparisons

I look at where I was yesterday morning and then I look at where I was this morning, and I want to cry, because I find it harder and harder to believe that Sunday morning existed.
I look at how much trust my parents have in me, and I hate having to hide my life from them. But they wouldn't like who I am, where I've been and what I've done. Parents want to protect their children from the world, and children protect their parents from the world they live in.

Fuck you, Stirm

How am I supposed to annotate objects? What the hell? And we're supposed to have 50 objects, when I doubt I have that many objects in my room aside from clothes and food. I left anything that didn't represent me anymore back home. I have plenty of receipts, does she want those? What I have so far:

Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
the Vagina Monologues notecard
Three plays by Noel Coward
Chant and Be Happy: the Power of Mantra Meditation
Antibiotics
Drafting Dots
The mystery keys
a Protector's knot
a scarf
a sarong
a teabag
a water-damaged dictionary
a collage
a poloroid of Adam in a Goodwill
one of the pictures from my ceiling
a program
half a cigar

33 more objects to go...

Damn, I want to travel

I just got done reading Pizza Boy's travel journal from his trip to Europe and Turkey, and wow. There is so much he's seen and experienced that I only dream of doing. I am amazed that he trusted me with this journal, and the whole Eylim situation. He is an amazing person whom I'm glad I'm friends with. I've been obsessed with travel since...maybe forever. I've always had a need to escape and see the world, I've bought shelves worth of books on backpacking the world, made countless fruitless plans. But now, it's no longer some longing desire, I NEED to travel through Europe, India, Asia, Africa, South America, and Australia. I'll come up with the money some how, and I know I can do it for even cheaper if I couch-surf (Lucy, you should join the network). I have random friends from around the world, perhaps it is time to pay them a visit in their home country. I know with rent next year it will be hard to stay afloat, but I can do it. Money is evil, but the world comes with a price, be it innocence, experiences, or le mauvais argent. Lucy has gone to France, and Anne to Spain, and I truly envy them. It sounds so amazing, I know I have to go.

Staring at strangers

I simply adore how I can never remember the things I must do for the next day, such as homework (French HW specifically) or some sort of meeting. And of course, I ignore it once I do remember. Oh my mind, what are you doing to me?

I really wanted to go talk to the guy that was staring at me today. He looked like he had an interesting story to tell. You never know when people are watching you, listening to what you're saying, writing about you. You will never know until you go over and ask them, or even if you recognize yourself in a paragraph. What are the odds that one reads the specific description of themselves by a stranger and recognize it? No, wait, don't tell me the odds (CoughDavecough). It is odd how much I find myself panicking when I think someone is writing about me, though I myself write constantly about anyone around me and what I think they are like. I never go and ask them about their writing. Maybe they want to speak to me too but refrian themselves as I do. There are so many people that I want to engage in conversation, but content myself with watching and eavesdropping.

I am a memeber of the Couch Surfers' network, which I completely forgot about after a year. No one has ever requested to couch surf with me, so I pushed it to the back of my head. I updated it for EC now, hopefully Ems won't mind strangers crashing at our place. Yeah, I doubt she'd be ok with that. But I like the concept of a community of travelers who can share their stories with you so long as you lend them a pace to sleep for a night.

I need to memorize my new monologue, do my math quiz, and write the English paper that's due Wednesday. Please remind me, I know I won't remind myself.

Nap disturbances are unwelcome

WHAT THE HELL!!!???

WHY must they dribble a basketball for 3 hours???
3 HOURS!!

My nap was quite unpleasant because of those fuckers. GIVE IT A REST!!!

People don't get it.

When one is depressed, everyone tells you to smile. But what they don't get is that smiling makes it worse, it masks what you feel and you feel more awful lying to yourself.

How to fight loneliness?
Smile all the time

Shine you teeth 'til meaningless
And sharpen them with lies

And whatever's going down
Will follow you around
That's how you fight loneliness

You laugh at every joke

Drag your blanket blindly
And fill your heart with smoke

And the first thing that you want
Will be the last thing you ever need
That's how you fight it

Just smile all the time

-Wilco

It's not easy being Green meme

1. What quality about you makes you stand out from the crowd? I don't really stand out. I'm quiet in large groups, but In very small groups I'm quite animated. Oh, and the spaghetti thing.

2. Which muppet can you most relate to?I didn't see too much of the muppet show as a kid, so I really can't identify a specific one. I hate Miss Piggy though. Ego-centric bitch.

3. If you had to paint your whole body one color what color would it be? A deep soul blue.

4. What is your favorite green thing? Maple leaves in the summer.

5. Do you believe that green M and M's are aphrodisiacs? Bullshit. Chocolate is an aphrodisiac, not the stupid green coating. hey, you know what I miss? The tan M&Ms. I don't like the blue ones, they seem so unfriendly.

6. Have you ever eaten frog legs? No, but they are sold at the Milwaukee Bastille Days festival. So in case I get a hankering for some grenouille, I know where to go. Ya know the triplets from The Triplets of Bellville liked their froggies, so why don't I?

7. Is there anything frog-like about you? My personality is kind of toad-like. It's ugly, yet fascinating so you just keep staring. Yeah, I know that toads and frogs are different, I'm not a moron.

8. If your loved one were a frog would you become a frog too to be closer to them or would you keep hoping they turned human for you? I would except them as what they are. If I loved someone, I don't expect them to change for me, and they wouldn't expect me to change for them. Nothing wrong with trans-species love. Trans-species sex is kinda wrong.

New links

I've put a few new links up, such as:

The Sneeze- the site that literally made Lucy pass out from laughter. The 'Steve, Don't eat it!' series is priceless.

Galiza Hoje Fotografias- beautiful photos

Bags in Trees- is a collection of photographs of bags in trees. I like that I'm not the only one who takes photos of quirky, weird and mundane things.

Life in Still Mode- beautiful photos from Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. I especially like the Statue in the Caves series.

Keys

I walked to Blockbuster today to find out some clue to who owns the damn keys. The card was registered to Janet Wolfe, whom I've never heard of. There isn't a Janet Wolfe registered at Eau Claire, so I e-mailed everyone with the last name of Wolfe, hoping maybe one of them was related to her. I just got an e-mail back from one of them, saying that he had lost some keys during football camp, and that his mother's name was Janet. Hopefully, he'll come pick them up tonight and maybe we can solve how the fuck they got into my desk drawer.

Keys???

I was looking for a movie that I brought up from home (El Espiritu de la Colmena, which I haven't seen yet) when I came across a key attached to a light thingie and a blockbuster card.

I don't own any keys.

WHOSE IS IT???

I don't know where it came from, the only people who have been near my computer desk are Lucy, David, and April. This is a mystery. I know it wasn't there at the beginning of the year. Is it Emily's? Why would she keep a key in my drawer?

Here's a picture:

Those poor pancake-less bastards



Guess what? There are NO IHOPs in Vermont.

No pancakes for them.

Thursday, March 01, 2007

I would not be surprised

If somehow a pool table ended up in a tree outside of Dave's apt.

I still want to eat you

Medusa's Daughter

I stop
The white fish swims in my teacup
Swimming in a sea of faith.
Words in my favorite song I’ve never heard before
Drinking from the bottle of smoke,
I lay my head on the pillow that weeps blood

I think I owe you some kind of death.
Animal of my mind wildly sniffing out the path
that I sit in the middle of.
I draw silver snakes out of my mouth,
I am Medusa’s daughter.
Words flicker on the edges of my vision
and shrink from my coming.
