Creative or Personal


If you need to communicate with classmates for any reason of your own, comment here. If this flies, I will link a specific blog for that purpose. Remember that this is not a private page. It could be, but you would have to log in just to see it. You will continue to find a link to it to the right and down, even as it ages. Does anyone have art you would like posted here so I don't have to use these crummy professional ones?

"In the endless perfection of your absence."

That's a line from a poem by Sharon Olds. I've been thinking that line nonstop since a friend of mine died. Endless. Perfection. ABSENCE. Such whole words...

I don't know. It's a strange thing to focus on.

When someone is gone, they're gone forever...and all you have is memories left to recreate a person who used to live and breathe right infront of you...it's wierd...like you know when you're in love and all of the sudden you're hearing into these love songs for the first time! It's like the artist is just speaking to you, alone, reading your mind. And when you're grieving it's the same thing.

I'm in-tune with all of the sadness suddenly. I mean songs find you, poems find you, people find you.

And I know that "this too shall pass," but..I just can't get over the feeling that someone is GONE. And it is a simple and endlessly complicated as that. I regreat a lot of things I never got to do with this person.

I think that that's the worst kind of pain...I mean guilt is bad, and sadness is bad, but regret is this sickly combination of both.

"Sadness is, and sadness was, and sadness will always be,
Because comfort comes from the strangest of men."

Do any of you have some connection with either this line...or anything else?

Haley, Zach: great show. Everybody should see it. It is hard to keep a human face on the kid killer, but if we don't remember that he has one, then we'll always look at him as a freaks and a geek and an outcast. But he isn't. He's one of us.

if anyone wants to see a little video that's kind of cool and deals with metafiction, check this out: Cake - "End of the Movie"

'Insomnio' definitely looks like something that would be on a Pink Floyd album.

elhaam said...

it's actually the 4th album of a puerto rican band called Sol D'Menta

Have you ever had a dream that seemed so real...when you woke up you didn't know what to believe?

What would you do if what you thought was true...wasn't? And what you thought wasn't true...was?

Would you retreat into your dreams with the hope of finding a more perfect reality?

Sometimes life is stranger than a dream. And the only way to wake up, is to face what lies hidden. And you can only hope that in those moments of dark reflection...that you are NOT alone.

So today was career day.

My cell is ringing. Apparently it's my future! And I'm wondering...do I answer the call? ...Or do I screen the call and let the voicemail get it?

"Hey you've reached Haley's voicemail...CONGRADULATIONS!"

Hmm.

Decisions. Who to be with...what to do with my life. Where to go to college...should I even go to college? Choices.

And when I have to make a decision...I think that with every choice...so many other roads are left untraveled! ...And I wanna drive those roads! With the stereo loud and the sun on my back because ultimately I think it's true what they say...that life is made up of all of these little roadtrips--or do they even say that?? If not, then I'll say it! :)

I wanna drive in this car with my friends, taking all of these detours and such! Instead most people today look down at their feet and once they look up, BOOM...that's where they are.

So I've decided to look up now...to take a little peak. But everytime I do I see "what if's."

So what's it gonna be? College? Some film school? A degree in psychology??? I don't even know.

But the phone keeps ringing. When will I be able to answer...?
