10

I now have 10 rolls in my car. I tried developing one, black and white 120, and i fucked up (again). i can't seem to line up the film correctly on the spool. ill get it.



Troy, Steak, Dorsa, and Jon came down for a little while. Eamon had a musical event featuring the likes of Tree/Soundz, Haha Evolution, Postmail, Kristen Prosen, Brian Downey and Rory Bender, and of course Jon Didier. I shot a whole roll there. give me a year.



Eamon, Jon and I went to backbone. I got a nice collection of vinyls. Pink Floyds UmmaGumma, Mammas and the Papas, a Rolling Stones one (play with fire, so good), Richard Pryor, Fleetwood Mac, CCR, to name a few.

I just got a book on remote viewing. I am interested in this as well as so many other books. I am reading too many at the same time, but at least im reading.

I just finished a Socrates project for my philosophy class. It turned out well. The fact that we are still living in the shadow of Socratic thought 25 centuries later, blows my mind. The quest for the soul.

I saw Broken Social Scene last night. It was beautiful. Eamon pointed out to me tonight that it was a day short of an anniversary the last time I saw them in DC with everyone. To anyone and everyone : once in your life, go on a very random trip with a small group of people you know, that ends up meeting up with a larger group of people you dont know. its guaranteed fun (this being my DC experience).

I got suspended from work because I missed the meeting today. I went in to work as im scheduled, at 7, and saw someone had taken my shift already. I walked out laughing.

Eamon and I jammed tonight. I need to get more music equipment. I also need to start writing again.

I have 5 rolls of film, maybe four, sitting in my car ready to be developed. I am sure that many will be good ones. Prepare yourselves!

Tires Raise Questions.

So I needed new tires. What better place to go is the tire place next to this other place that does car work. In a semi sketchy place, i park my car and wait in the one car line in front of me to get newly used tires.

I bust out the hassy like usual. i have been on a shooting rampage, and anything catches my eye ( I need to chill out.) So here I am aiming my uneven stare at these tires and i hear in the most curious tone with a hint of asshole

"What are you doing?"

I replied with the deep and philosophical with the question tone added at the end...

"Taking a picture? What are you doing?"

He said

Why?

I said

"Because I am a photographer? That's probably it."

"But why are you taking pictures of tires? Why tires man?"

The lady whose car he was messing with said,

"He is a fine art photographer."

I said "Exactly. Thank you for the title."

So we get to taking the tires off of my car. I am sitting close to the guy who was questioning my photographic motives.

Every time he unscrewed a lugnut, he asked if I wanted to take a picture.

There has never been a day

that im not in love

with you, that, and this.


with my friends, skating, and music.


with the sky, the air, and the cold.


with food, thoughts, and food for thought.


with photography.

I want in.

If music is the poetry and film is the literature, then i am the musician and the director.
Films produced entirely by myself, music made with people i personally know (eamon, david, judd, myself, troy, cary, joe, and many more) and filming just about anything. wherever i go, i film. story like, art like, realistic like, showing the true things. being a learner and an adventureer. Fuck, i want this so it's going to happen. i will make something beautiful that will inspire others to do the same.

start a housing program and work program overseas to get kids places to live and jobs to become stable off of. wowwww.

reasons

there are too many things happening everyday for me to keep track. Good things. Happenings of connectedness. Beautiful things that happen, soon followed by a pop quiz in which i must answer correctly and pass, or the test will be brought upon me again in an unpredictable way. And only in hindsight, I could possibly see it.

I'm going to go work on my hindsight.
