Our choices can be influenced by so many things. The real trick is knowing when to listen to others and when to go with your instinct. I have held back for a while now and I am stuck. I am currently attending school and I am enjoying it for the most part, but I am not like everyone else who needs college to become a...

Well, I have been absent from SG the past couple days, but I am back after a rather aggravating injury. My back managed to completely throw itself out and I have been laid up the past two days because of it. Don't know how it happened, but I could barely move at times. A major annoyance.
However, I did get to spend the past couple...

I am so so very sorry about your back. Thats awful, i really hope it gets better soon. And never happens again. Ech, I'm really sorry.
Primary interest: Making it to Winter break without losing my calm and not dropping the ball. Long term: Having a job i love and get excited to go to everyday. Even if it means worrying about getting my heat shut off periodically or eating ramen noodles every day.

I wondered what had happened to you...sorry to hear about that, hope you're recovering nicely. Yes, we must share a damn fine cup of coffee (& a slice of apple pie...is that what Agent Coop always raved about?) sometime...
I haven't seen Twin Peaks in ages...I wish I had them all on tape. I remember seeing it when it first aired, I was a sophomore in HS. Me & a few of my friends were all "Peaks Freaks."
Mulholland Drive would have made a fantastic TV series, too bad it was too weird for the suits...oh well, still made an amazing film...
Answer: To get published. Somewhere, somehow.
I have a writing sample up in my journal. See what you think. Be brutally honest...

Imagine a scene in a story where a man jumps up and hits his head on something. Something he cannot see. Curious as to why the sky eluded him, he looks up and tries to make out what could have been above him. The object is invisible, but he can feel it. He tries to make out the contours of the object when he realizes...

Everything is relevant to an extent.. you just have to know how to see what is relevant about it.
I really want to be in a band like Cibo Matto or Stereolab or Tortoise.

"Map the doors of perception onto and into a new metaphor - the frequencies of perception become a transduction mechanism. It's a voodoo economics of the sound waves rolling across the basilar membrane. A collabrative filtering of the input and output flowcharts guiding the architecture of the scene. Feel the fragments... The reflection on the surface of a shattered mirror is never whole, no matter...

yo. i hate genres. some ho-hum artists do fit into genres but only because they dont experiment but most artists with a truly unique vision wont allow themselves to get too comfortable with a certain medium/genre.

Although saddened by the loss of Jam Master Jay, I had a nice long weekend. On Halloween I saw Medeski Martin & Wood down at the Hammerstein Ballroom. DJ Spooky's "Optometry" opened (Spooky, Matthew Shipp, William Parker, Guillermo Brown, and Daniel Bernard Roumain) along with the incredible Smokey and Miho. Both acts were incredible and I had planned to see Smokey and Miho again on...

i saw chinatown before i was ready. it's quite deep and i couldn't follow it. i should give it another shot. i do, however, like another jack nicholson film involving boulder colorado... yeah, the shining. a damn good film. damn good

I think that violence should be censored from children more than sex. I never understand why some parents freak over some nude scene but still let their kids watch tons of gore. What kind of message does that send? It's twisted.
You're right, this site is a godsend of sorts...for anyone who is re-adjusting to a social environment, I think. I'm back in my hometown after a long absence and I feel like I'm starting over in so many way, esp. socially. I've been working on making new friends but it's hard, of course. This place is valuable to me, in that I can meet cool people quicker than in real life...but I still need to meet more people in real life...so it's not a real substitute, just a hold-over of sorts, you know? Although if I get involved in some of the SG gatherings it might become more...
So....no comment on my Mulholland Drive interpretation? Just curious to see what you thought of it...

I can't believe Jam Master Jay was shot and killed. This is truly a loss. Run-D.M.C. did more for hip-hop than possibly imaginable. He will be sorely missed.
R.I.P. Jam Master Jay. What you did for music will not be forgotten.

whoa. run-d.m.c. is like the orginal old school hip hop. i was not aware that jam master jay died tho. did this just happen like yesterday?
raven:
aww. thanx for the nice comment in my journal.
you think you're going to live your life alone
in darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
you've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
so you stagger back home and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your room spits you back onto the streets
and now you're desperate and in need...

"they"? the people who remind us of why it's good to be "different".
the story this week is true. it sucked to have my dog run over. i left out the best part. it was my school bus who did it. the dog was a nut BTW.
thanks so much for yr comments on my journals. i'm hoping to get published some day... so far the fiction is still just a hobby.
i wish i could find a good way to advertise in the boards to visit my journals for more feedback.

A new pic for you all to salivate at.
Nice contributions last entry. I didn't expect you all to put in song lyrics, but it turned out for the better. Solisis' DMX entry was most fitting. Maybe we'll have to start having the 'ol "theme day" here.
Question for today:
How do you survive?
