Last night I struggled metaphysically deep in my head.
As I slept I could feel my legs floating right out of the bed.
Then they fell as though they failed and up went my head.
Bending me backward the strangest thing.
I could only imagine my ears had sprouted wings.
Then their efforts were thwarted I fell lifeless again.
Realizing what was happening was a most brilliant feeling
unfortunately it also meant the end of the dream.

The beach
Twice in a week I've seen this beach
It is steeper than any reality
Sand slides to the tumult
Rogue wave after rogue wave
Washing over everything
First it was a beach vampires called home
They tried to bite me and into the water I dove
Next I fled the festival, the forest, found a city
rundown railroads telephone poles
The waves kept coming
Bigger splashing I held onto what we'd built
to keep myself from becoming another piece of silt
Receding receding ripples to the horizon
the view from the top of the beach
best summed up as everything
water sand people poles wires factory
we stood there standing as it all went still
It is steeper than any reality
Sand slides to the tumult
Rogue wave after rogue wave
Washing over everything
First it was a beach vampires called home
They tried to bite me and into the water I dove
Next I fled the festival, the forest, found a city

Bigger splashing I held onto what we'd built
to keep myself from becoming another piece of silt
Receding receding ripples to the horizon

I don't even do that much, but the weight of the world looms heavily. The urgency of everything is becoming daunting, yet I continue to blog. Given the vastness of this web I would not even know if someone took a swat to the lower half. As i hear the content around me being generated in the form of keyboards, minds, eyes, all in rows, all at machines, we are more connected to each other than ever and still we feel alone.
What is the solution? Where are our problems? Do they make it to this conceptual space? Do they manifest in the real world? Is our perpetual ignorance the only thing that keeps us from losing our minds? Our ability to shrug it off, drink it away, satisfaction comes in so many different ways. I guess everyone deserves a break, understand that the greatest a flaw in our consciousness is its limits. I feel its capacity every day. We have tools to listen more, to compress our files, condense our being to kilobytes, share the lives of other things. A live feed of a bird in a nest, a baby's first steps, a litter of puppies from birth until death. The wisdom of the tweets of the elderly. Our future's past is all here. This blog is gonna be an antique. Translated a thousand times till it loses its rhymes, I hope you all stay oblique.
A high wire. That's where I am. Balancing. So many things feel fatal so many distractions will lead to the fall. Nothing but practice, nothing but the external and internal balance will guide me safely to the other side. As I cross the wire I become a memory. Should I fall, no one will share my death with the world out of respect. If I fall, please show it to everyone. Show me tumbling and gaining 9.8m/s being sucked to the only place I can call my home. Watch as it swats me traveling 30km/s through space. Calculate the time I had to have my last, slow, meaningless thought. Put my last words in my mouth, make sure they're someone elses. At least I didn't starve.

Fresher Audio and Film
Now that emo day is behind us, I've managed to produce a couple of random things this semester so far. First is my CMP (Creative Motion Pictures) 222 groups' first movie ever, first time using a bolex and film, at least for me. I came up with the plot on the spot because quite honestly I didn't just want to shoot two dudes at a table. Apart from our little mistake (we left a red ND filter in the camera and that's why I reduced it to black and white) it turned out quite nice, Gabe and Brian did some very smooth camera work, and I got to play my favorite character!
Second thing I finished today is my first ever audio story for CVJ209 class about the famed Hofbrauhaus beer establishment. Check it

Young Love
A year molded around the nape of your neck
fall turned to winter
we outside
and then to spring
where are we going?
where do you want to go?
To love - To be,
your dreams to catch
the world the cage
-to die, but for a moment to live
If only for a moment
IN YOUR EYES...
