in the dream life

in the dream life, i wouldn’t stumble upon two of my ex girlfriends on nerve. in that life, the remains of the last one wouldn’t be in my closet. in that life, i would also want to jump from my towers of fear and face the real life. in this life, i wonder which is worse: dying old alone or believing that finding the one will make laugh louder. so, i briefly encountered a wonderful little book by rilke entitled ‘letters to a young poet.’ in so much that the elder rilke is writing to his younger […]

one hour photo

i saw one hour photo earlier tonight and i think it sorta put me in the down mood. i feel very much like robin williams looking into the lives of others through the camera. like i have no experience worth photographing for myself but i will galdly photograph your happy moments if you pay me. yeah, that’s pretty cynical and all but even when i do my own photography, it’s not about me having fun and living life. it’s a weird observance of the world in a uncomfortable detached way. as if i don’t really want to […]

some rumi favorites

advice doesn’t help lovers! they’re not the kind of mountain stream you can build a dream across. an intellectual doesn’t know what the drunk is feeling! don’t try to figure what those lost inside love will do next. ~ in the slaughterhouse of the love, they kill only the best, none of the weak or deformed. don’t run away from this dying. whoever’s not killed for love is dead meat. ~ pig72] change is inevitable, icons are interchangable ~

no time to read

i picked up a couple of books last month at borders and it’s a month later and i’ve cracked about 10 pages. it’s quite sad really because i get so much out of reading and yet i can’t ‘afford’ to find time. it’s definitely something i miss dearly and it because it’s not so easily consumable as music, it’s one of my great joys that will have to be scarfice in this time of intensity. anyway, i discovered the cliff notes of the book that i was meant to read in my 10 mins of spare cycle […]

the problem distilled

which rabbit hole will i go down? into light of emptiness or into the darkness of orange? after much good food and 3 easy drinks in front of gorgeous bartender, my cohort and i somehow distilled my essential issue in layman’s tongue. i am an unexpected father and that is why i am caught in the tension of fatherhood versus the wanderer. it may not be a 7 year itch but it feels like a 4 year disease. naturally, i can’t really complain about anything in myself because i would be a most ungrateful bastard if i […]
