When I breathe out fast and deeply I wheeze immediately.
It’s been like this for quite some time. Although I think
it is worse now. I am in Los Angeles and I find myself part
of a newly growing movement. It seems that the people that
I have aligned myself with (all aspiring filmmakers. musicians,
publishers and other creative positions), all adhere to the
philosophy of helping each other, community and trade. Now,
I didn’t experience the 60’s or any other community
driven time period in history. So I don’t know if this
is important and new or if I was just not apart of it until
now.
I must say that it is FUCKING AWESOME though. Coming from
a place where it’s all about not being a part of anything
except making money and shopping, It is UNBELIEVABLY FUCKING
AWESOME. It is the story of the prince who left his kingdom
to find truth. Believe me there is no way for me to escape
the allegories...A nature of our world today.
I feel like I am part of an early Seattle/Alternative scene
and I know it is going to BLOW UP! Only because everyone is
working together for it. The TOGETHER part being the only
way it can happen. It is not that many people doing it with
me right now, by this I mean people I know....and we can always
use more. But the philosophy rings true. And the fact that
I just got to be apart of it makes me humble and gracious.
It is true that I am looking for a job (ie. PAY) and I will
get one cause I need one. What I want is a job in the arts
that I love. However, I need to prove my worth first, until
the it will forever be for free. (although the point is I
want it to be free).
Back to our “movement”. The time we are in is right
after the end of the old and right before the beginning of
the new. Call it the coming of the age of Aquarius. Call it
Post-Britney. Call it the proof that technology eliminated
the large steel bars of distribution. Call it post 4 year
old kids being force fed speed (ie. Adderall and Ritalin)
What feels cool (and what saves me) is that I am helping
to cultivate the underground that will sincerely change the
world. [it needs to be noted that even though I have yet to
see Waking Life it seems to be the only major artistic achievement
in a long while] So what if the nation I live in can only
be said to be the greatest because it is better than most
others. “Just cause your better than shit doesn’t
mean your good”-Kyle Markley. So what if I feel demons
in the souls of people everywhere I go. So what if there is
no god(at least in the way of religions), we are ushering
in the Age Of Aquarius!!!!
I believe the crash of the internet boom is ending the feeling
money is all that matters(as wishful as it sounds). [For all
you reading this in the future, know that trading stocks on
the internet was as common as brushing your teeth] But now
there are real people and real artists who want real things.
Who have the benefit of being jaded by the media and by the
world. What is a REAL thing? Ummmmm Love, community, helping
others, getting point of views across without thinking about
the advertiser sponsoring it. It is pretty much like everybody
has been doing things the hard way. and we finally might be
realizing that we should/can do things the easy way. By this
I mean, working together accomplishes things quicker. Yes
everybody has said this but now I think people are actually
really doing it. A friend of mine wondered to me about human
nature. The fact that we stay in hurtful relationships, the
fact that we smoke cigarettes, the fact that we do things
that we now hurt us but keep it up anyways. I believe in Macro
= Micro and the fact that human beings independently act in
this way obviously will be mirrored in our behaviors as a
group. so, HEY EVERYONE LET'S STOP DOING THINGS THAT HURT
US...okay preaching over....
I am part of the generations called X and Y, and we were
ridiculed for being slackers. But the irony and he symbolism
is such that X and Y equals LIFE. In the future this coincidence
will be what makes future generations not believe the stories.
We may have been lazy but time will tell that we just waited
until you older generations stepped the fuck off long enough
for us to correct your HUGE mistakes. It is these two generations
X and Y (with the help of our younger friends) that will preserve
life and again make life prosper. It is we who sees through
the bullshit. And who will ultimately lead to the end of the
bullshit.
My background? I am still living off my parents (ie they
pay for my rent and give me at least $200 a week [a generously
low estimate]) I was raised in a place that is as much a cartoon
as Bugs Bunny. And most of my peers from there are content
to stay in the enclosed fairy tale life of nothingness that
our parents created. I have NOT traveled the world (Bahamas,
Vacation spots in Mexico, and Montreal being the extent of
my journeys). And I have not really even witnessed the horrible
poverty's and tragedies of the world. I myself am pretty innocent,
which doesn’t mean I do not do drugs, or smoke, or drink
or have other earthly desires and addictions. Believe me I
do. I only am saying that I am inexperienced relatively(i
think).
The world is constantly burning with energy. If we took a
second to look we would see that earth is identical to the
sun. Energy burning until it is no longer, be it hot flames
or roaring seas and animals. And that is Fine as long as the
energy gives life, right? You answer cause I don’t know.
I used to care about philosophical issues but I realized they
are the same as religious ideas. They only tear people apart.
Instead of bringing us together. So, FUCK IT! I know that
I want to help people and be good (good meaning, not hurt
others). So what else is there to discuss ? The truth is I
really did once care about being famous while I was still
alive or being historically celebrated after I am dead. But
now I don’t . i want to do good work, be able to support
myself and those who I love (read: immediate friends and family),
and be able to make a difference for the better in those I
have yet to meet. Do I care about being celebrated in a media
I am going to help change and correct? Not really. No Not
at all.
You see we are at the point where the media is irrelevant!
Politically Correct is going to be a thing of the past. Not
to say it was not important, because it was. But now our generation
can go beyond i to the truth. You see, we had lies in our
culture which perpetuated stereotypes and so being P.C. definitely
leveled the playing field. But now we can go ahead and step
out of the safety mechanisms and embrace truth. And I will.
And We Will. It is really exciting really. So lets get FUCKING
EXCITED! LETS GET FUCKING CRAZY EXCITED!!! The time is now.
And we will have a blast making it happen.
