SOME NOTES

Introduction

  Spring 2012. While working at Piada and beating Skyrim, most of my fellow peers are busy with school and their college courses. I play video games because I had time to kill and needed to decompress. Is our generation, and those to come, an era where we escape and decompress in a virtual world? It so, no wonder community is something one strives towards after that phase. Before that, we’ll go through a generalized college experience. Freshman year; second semester, I joined a fraternity and started drinking. Sophomore year; second semester, I walked onto the D2 soccer team and started smoking weed. Junior year; second semester, I left. There. We’re all caught up with much of the shenanigans and near death experiences saved for another time. But, hey what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger and/or stranger. I believe both ways are true. So, I quit Piada after two months and decide to move out to Los Angeles. Quit is a mutual term, in my opinion, as the more accurate depiction would be fired,  or mutually departed as a no show, no call will do for you in the Midwest or just about anywhere. In my defense (and a horrible one at that): I was blackout drunk the night before and fucked-up half my face when I got hit by a car in the club’s parking lot. But, hey, I managed to drive home safely that night so we’ll call it a win. Not a good win, but one where your team just scrapes by. Worked miscellaneous acting jobs for a year, really just a lot of background and stand-in work. Than worked a year at Arclight, before booking a stunt double job on a TV show called Matador. It was the easiest money ever. The show, which was on a made-up network by Robert Rodriguez (Spy kids, and a bunch of other films), was renewed for five seasons before Season One aired, and cancelled thusly after Season One aired. Proceeded to work GoT Comic Con and then at MOD pizza for a little over two and a half years while studying at UCB before moving to MDR (Marina Del Rey) and working on Abbott Kinney for the next two years with Green leaf and then Gjusta/Gjelina, doing everything from bussing to bar to expo and delivery. Enough rambling. Here’s some rambling notes. The dates have been saved. Once a note was written it was left untouched. Or I guess we could say it like they do in Fargo to add a little cinematic touch.

Life/Love? 12/2/12      13:31

What is life

What is love

Why is it that love and life are discovered in moments of vast unknown and emptiness

One must discover it within oneself first and through the surroundings of nature and peace before one can truly appreciate it in oneself or share it with others.

What is love

What is life without it

What is life without the unknown

What is passion without hope and joy

What is passion without despair and remorse

What is life without passion

What is passion without love

Without all of the above is resting peace

The known unknown tranquil serenity

How far tho is from me

And yet ever more nearer to me

The hope despair and unknown of the sea. The tides are time they come and go bringing closer the love unknown till the time when you yourself are prepared to share the vessel of your self with another before your ending beginning rest on the beach of peace

The dream in sleep

How one can weep

Until the time that we must keep

Our hopes alive to strive and thrive

My lover if not here is on the other side

A piece of my self

A soul to share

A kind of life carefree of care

Hope and despair gone in a flash

The last of life seen in the past

A memory fading ever fast

A life anew like morning dew

My love and I are ever true

If one life ends than so does another

For without the other there is no other. There is no love there is no life and as with such we end our own known strife

What do you love for

Connection

Power

Passion

Desire

Escape

Understanding

Your other soul reuniting

Filling a void that you never knew you were missing, but searching for and leading up to your whole life.

We are all snowflakes some melt together, some disappear in the air.

Chemical reactions changing, adapting, evolving ever moving all the time. The future is blinding light to the present, the past is a mirror set to repeat in circles merely adapting to the present still but ever changing state.

Think not for your self but your own, your people are only as of value as long as the past enlightenment is used for the adaptation and innovation for and of the future. Ever changing blinding
