Unbeknownst to most at the time, there is always a singularity of moment, of change that alters one’s life so completely that a chapter ends and gives rise to another. A lot has changed in the last few years for me. Therefore, many chapters have begun and ended. The theme has mostly been me combating this growing up and maturing into an adult phase. I despise it so much sometimes. Then when I think I have a firm grip on what my future might hold, life tosses me sweaty palms. Consequently, I slip and fall landing in a new paragraph in a desperate search for a fresh topic sentence. Only recently I fear I’ve fallen completely off the page and am on an arduous journey back to my scripture in search of a title for a new chapter. Yes, sometimes my metaphors tire even me.
I’m always wary how much I share here for who knows what creatures are peeking in, gathering notes, only to one day surprise me with a book of how I am perceived by others that ultimately devours my ego, sends me spiraling into oblivion, and leaving the viewer ingrained with a terrible fallacious representation of my self. Don’t dwell on words typed in a single moment of pain, joy, or spite. These are just thoughts, and if you know me at all, you’ll know my thoughts are like the wind: sometimes strong and forceful, sometimes calm and gentle, but always fleeting.
Since beginning this entry I’ve changed my mind on its path numerous times. That’s the beauty of art. It’s an undiscovered country. I typed “Unbeknownst” and started on a path that ultimately led to this. Art is not anything, good or bad, until it’s shared. I just want to thank three people who make me want to write publicly and make me defend the sanctity that is myspace. Sonja, Wendy, and Rene. My sincerest thanks. 🙂
Current mood: indescribable
Currently listening: Its Time by Michael Bublé

“my thoughts are like the wind: sometimes strong and forceful, sometimes calm and gentle, but always fleeting…”!!!
i had to re type that to pretend for a second i wrote it.
DAMN!!!
great blog! funny thing about that exposure and public sharing of feelings…i woke up this morning and wanted to delete my blog from last night.
but it’s best to just leave things for the big book of narcissism people will write about us later.
miss you!!!!:(
I’m glad you didn’t delete it for it was that blog that inspired me to grab another beer and write this one.
Wow. No problem. You are totally welcome.
Ditto.
It’s ACTUALLY being tested in a small laboratory in the Arizona desert. Listening to Michael Buble may result in one typing “unbeknownst”…. directly followed by a winning scrabble score’s worth of beauty.
I miss the conversations we used to have after drinking, trying to sound sober. I have fallen so far behind on blogs, photographs, and music that I have become that friend that doesn’t call because he’s been such a flake he’s not sure there’s anything left in common with his artistic self. I’m going to do music tonight, thank you Dean, and if I can stay up past 9:15 perhaps I’ll rekindle that ol’ blog flame!
Thanks buddy.
