In Silence Wondering




Occupied by familiar oddities
Unaware of hopefulness
She prays her wisdom won't
Supercede his glory

Taken back to the days of wondering
Abreast to the magic it can bring
In a wonderers eyes the truth can behold
such entities

She's an oddity

New beginners pray for justice
When they enter the space of
uncertainty

She'll renew her faith and
save the faces of reckless creation
Today spilling out new beginnings

"I'm tired of waking up that way."

The stars breath in silence
They sparkle in my tomb

Ars Gratia Arits- Art for Art's Sake



This is how I began my day. Watching a movie is part of my every day. I have this amazing book that chronicles the beginning of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) till like 1974, and He Who Gets Slapped (1924) is said to be the studios first ever film to be released.
Silent film is so magical in the sense of the power of early imagination, there's such a freshness about it. The innocence of early creation and experimentation with film. Even the music... The pantomime is such an art; body language is so powerful, expressive, beautiful. Lon Chaney is still exciting to watch. Pure magic, pure imagination. The early ages of the motion picture are a gift.

Verklempt


There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than a thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief... and unspeakable love. -Washington Irving

Don't Mind

Hero






Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,
Don't mind people grinnin' in your face,
Just bear this in mind-
A true friend is hard to find;
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

You know your mother will talk about you,
Your sisters and brothers, too;
Yes, don't care how you're trying to live,
They'll talk about you still...
Yes, but bear this in mind,
A true friend is hard to find;
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,
Don't mind people grinnin' in your face,
Just bear this in mind-
A true friend is hard to find;
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

You know they'll jump you up and down
They'll carry you all round and round;
Just as soon as your back is turned,
They'll be tryin' to crush you down.
Yes, but bear this in mind,
A true friend is hard to find;
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face,
Don't mind people grinnin' in your face,
Just bear this in mind-
A true friend is hard to find;
Don't you mind people grinnin' in your face.

Run free

I've got to submit my application for graduation to get my Associates degree. Now I am in a place where I have to decide whether to get my Bachelors degree in film or continue my studies in theatre. Work in progress let say... Eh...

Double consciousness


Carrie Mae Weems self portrait "I looked and failed to see what so terrified you."


It is a peculiar sensation, this double consciousness, this sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt or pity. One ever feels his two-ness,- an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder.
-W.E.B. Du Bois
