You did what?!?

adaptation is a good movie. but what a weird mood
gee... i maybe both ahead of and behind the curve. I feel like i am Daniel Kaufman.

EGOTIST!

there comes a point in a day
when everything is going your way,
then
Fuck.

then you start
to worry
and
hesitate.

the drifts of time, midnight arrives.
you've relived death,

again.

and the point of it all?

adapted from a book, based on an article, a chronical of a true story.

confidence is truth, and beauty and all that.
the inner.

creativity is. wee.

structure. is.

all this and more, inside.

yeah, ummm... i'm not sure.

I find that the rant and rave technique can become as passe as grunge, b-hives or blogging, and that in the near future the world will be a place where expression must be screened.

future?

is there no, non-medium? if the medium is the message, what does this really mean. what's this saying about who i am. that i can't speak these words? words are manythings. here they are a collection of symbols, combinded in a recognised maner, which we as an english speaking society have a (relitivly) shared understanding of meaning. audiatory words are a collection of sounds, which the same society can attach meaning. so, what's the big deal. maybe i can only say things with noone around? maybe i need to do this slowly.
maybe i need to carry around a dictation recorder...

the medium, the beauty or lack there of, the balance.

someone said today that i was a wise man.

then i thought about a wise man i knew.

i hope to be like him.

wisdom is often attributed to age.

i'm 19.

that's a lifetime.

attack life. but nothing else.

Name: erika

well you were right. this is a crazy blog. it makes sense that you were right, seeing as you wrote it and all.....

i am so in exactly the opposite mood tonight. instead of being confused and philosophical i'm in lonely useless practically inanimate friday mode....where everything makes perfect sense because i'm not thinking about anything so there's nothing to not make sense of. i'll comment on the thinking stuff later.

yes, you do have a lifetime to be wise. in our plenary session on wednesday (the frye like burning one). apparently at the end of frye's life he didn't have enough time left to do what he set out to accomplish. old age sneaks up on you, so it's never to early to get wise.

and i know all about having a good day and thinking everything's fine and then all of a sudden there's the tiniest trigger and it all comes crashing down

about the shared definitions of meaning.....that reminds me of stuff that was said in the same-sex marriage debate in class (just to let you know....i'm not trying to start a debate about this issue). the con side argued that marriage is defined as being between a man and a woman. the pro side argued that this was invalid because it was "just" based on the traditional meaning of marriage. i think that this criticism of the con's argument was invalid (although i'm not necessarily saying their stance was wrong) because that's the accepted definition of marriage. you can't argue that that's not what it is just because it could be other things.....all words and symbols get their authority from traditional meanings.....it's like saying you can't assume that a chair is what we consider a chair because it's just a random name that we accept. what the pro side needed to recognize was that marriage IS between a man and a woman, and they're not disputing what the definition is, they just want to change it.

i don't know if any of this makes sense, but it did in my head.
