Thought of the Day, perhaps the life:
don’t give the care of your inner child over to the wrong people, to incompetent/disinterested people.
including those emotionally unavailable or detached.
You’re Welcome.

hmmm…
doing what’s cool versus necessary
my problem is not with doing what’s necessary, instead of what is best, what is cool, what is good.
(yeah, what kinda shitty world is this where what is cool, best, good, and interesting ARE NOT the things that are necessary anyway? but I digress.0
my problem is when people
do what’s cool
then they do what’s necessary, (and it is almost always, artistically, remember,
super lame, trite, and just utterly sucks (thanks, corporate mentality.)
THEN, they make MILLONS of dollars, which would enable them to again do what’s cool.
BUT…
THEY DON’T!
WHAT KINDA SHIT IS THAT?!?!?!?!
…never be ashamed of being normal, human
…never be ashamed of being normal, human
yes, that.
#selflove
selflove, not the love of others, (gods included) is the thing.
if I believed I had a lot to offer-
if I-
1. believed I had a lot to offer, and
2. was actually interested in taking part in the system and in other peoples’s basically bullshit jive-ass way of doing things…
what would I do…
that’s two questions…
ok, let’s rephrase:
if I;
1. believed I had a lot to offer and-
2. could at least “try” to do things however “I” would have them done,
what would I do…
hm, surprisingly hard to answer.
I want less-generic artistic forms
the typical artistic FORMS in which art stuff is presented…. sometimes trouble me. like, they seem antiquated, arbitrary, artificial, un-natural.
bringing to mind that quote on the wild beast at CalArts.
if you create a pre-prepared presentatio ( PR PR PR PR (wipe off the microphone)
for an audience… you kinda patronize them, you kinda remove them from the experience, prevent them from immersing themselves in it, spectaclize it.
I prefer when people are just dropped in, have to fend for themselves and figure things out, and they may indeed be confused as fuck a good long time. what’s wrong with it(I don’t care what is, nothing is.)
I felt that way in the Wachowski’s films. several of em (you know the ones) didn’t explain all that well what the fuck was goin on… more like a new experience, you’re indeed at a loss until you figure out what’s goin on, which DOES take a lotta time.
hell, learning to play music well didn’t happen in a few days. nor a few weeks.
nor months. nor even years. maybe decades.
so what.
do it anyway and start now.
you’re gonna die.
to be continued.
Belligerant Honesty
I know of people who are careful with what they say on facebook.
family.
I know of people who eventually rage and say they don’t care if someone unfriends them.
I know of people whom yesterday, over the Marriage Equality ruling, said things like “only one person unfriended me today,” or that “more than one person did so.”
50 or more people, likely more, I’ve only counted since june of last year, or maybe the year before…)
have unfriended me (since june of last year, or the year before.)
(I don’t know how many did before then.)
I’m almost proud, oddly, to say that I’ve NEVER had a problem with social conservatives on my facebook.
Belligerant Honesty, folks.
it has it’s points. particularly on facebook.
in real life too, yes.
7/16 against 2/4
nothing like 7/16 at the same time as 2/4 (that is. 8/16)
7 against 8 every two beats…. oh yeah. what kinda crazy people (INDIANS) made such music?

it’s at 23:45if you’s impatient
if you’re about to call someone “confused”…
if you’re about to call someone “confused”-
reason being that they say contradictory things, etc…
first, ask yourself if YOU are in fact the confused one instead.
people happier when THEIR needs are met
personally I think people are happier when their OWN needs are met, and THEIR OWN feelings are acknowledged and taken care of, rather than just subjugating them (almost always without their consent or even understanding (thanks tradition and religion)
yeah, rather than subjugating them to some grand larger whole, which may not have “anything” to do with THEM and THEIR FEELINGS.
it probably teaches them that
1. their own feelings don’t matter, and are bad; THEY don’t matter themselves,
2. BUT- if you subjugate yourself to “whatever”, you somehow become valuable, good,
eventhoughyouhaveandarecontinuingtominimizeyourownfeelingsandneedsandaremore-than-likelyteachingthisdiseasetoyoungpeopleoverandoverandoveragain.
PEOPLE! dammit, STOP IT!
ACKNOWLEDGE “YOUR” SELF AND “YOUR” FEELINGS AND NEEDS!!!
…
yeah, I think the world, if it ever happens, will be a lot less fucked up if we
accept that we are human and stop being guilty about it.
music to the film JUPITER ASCENDING.
the soundtrack to the Wachowski (formerly brothers) film
JUPITER ASCENDING.
I kinda like.
it’s amusing and amazing to me that I, a weirdo of harmonic tastes, can appreciate a simple
f minor to DbM major progression, repeated.
then again, Steve Reich uses exactly that progression (in music for a large ensemble, even in the same exact key)
in TONS of his pieces.
