tree

Media_http1bpblogspot_lgndg

watched tree of life this afternoon.
what i can say is that i am confused.
what i take from it is not necessarily the idea...
but this is how i understand it,

at some point the lady narrator speaks to god,
'who are we, god?
and what are we to you?'

this is at a point in the film, when malrick explores various imagery from all over time and space. graphically and with aid of the music, illustrating how small we are. how minuscule our individual lives are... we are busy with all this stuff that distracts us, making money, watering the garden, stressing about our children, cooking, cleaning. while the universe moves and shakes, and time becomes something irrelevant in the universal game. and we keep on thinking that what we do, and who we are, is important. we justify our daily activities with the strangest motivations, 'people need to eat', 'who will put the clothes on your back'.

i was in awe of that film, each screen shot became an individual art work. the movement of light, and the presence of it in the film, renders the whole movie timeless. even though the movie is set in the 50/60's it feels like a dream landscape.

and i've realized once again what i love about films. a good story with amazing cinematography can transport you to another world. helping you remember things that you've lost. and helping you forget things you want to loose.

damm i miss hamm

i miss mad men
and don draper.
the production of season 5 started this week.
with jon hamm directing the first episode.

i am totally blaming mad men for my unrealistic ideals.
having to apply for an internship in a branding/marketing company seems ridiculous.
all i want is don draper as a boss.
i want to work as sterling cooper and not at some silly Johannesburg firm.
also working in the 60's would be quite fly!

this was the first snap released from the set. 
its so weird seeing these two all laughing and chilling.

super boring post i know.
but oh the obsession.

self-portrait

Albrecht Dürer- 1500.

i rarely like self-portraits.
or renaissance paintings.
but this one seems so intense, something mystical.
especially like his logo. seen on the left side.

a discussion society not a sex club

i want to beat the beat generations drum again.
escape from this world.
howl at the confinements of fucking technology.
the endless ability of people reaching you.
telling you about 'how they are doing'.
i don't fucking care. you fucking hooked up machine. 
be on the road. again. 
experience a new sexuality.
making love because movies made me do it.
deny the powers of the faux ruling. 
we are all consuming all using. all fucking the dollar.
take drugs. deny my virtual existence. 
i was convinced that i should sell more shit to people.
build more buildings. 
brand more bullshit.
but now i'm coming out of this haze. 
this clutter of junkspace.

and i'm angry. and i have no time.
but i'm addicted. 
and not sure how to escape...

"Now that I'm nearly the age that Ginsberg was that summer, I can see what he saw: that so much of the hectic yearning and anxious industry of young people is an effort to cover up a hole in the world."
