la blogotheque creates beauty.

everything i have seen on la blogotheque has been beautiful.
putting artists out in the streets of countries like brazil, france, and spain just creates that raw breathtaking sound that envelops la blogotheque's takeaway shows.
case in point:
johnny flynn.
absolutely stunning.

merde.

there they stand; ignorant to their own menacing nature.
engaged in seemingly mindless chatter while their body language speaks a different story.
arms akimbo. toes tapping. eyes wander to trees, clocks, anywhere but straight ahead.
the present is not sufficient as they look toward some more enticing future encounter.
i see them in their little friend circle.
you know it.
the circle people seem to automatically, perhaps magnetically, create. as if it is biologically required for survival.
seeing it i steer clear. i forgo the judgement circle for a friendlier shape.

life's (NOT) a journey.


if i hear the words "just a small town girl" blare out of another cell phone, radio, tv, or computer, I may lose it.

enough with the journey. its just enough. stop believing. thanks.

splice

splice: obsolete Dutch "splissen" - to split, separate.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what is the catalyst of separation?
are we a species akin to loss, to brutal separations?
does it perhaps start at birth, with the notorious cutting of the cord?
is that why we cut the rest of our cords?
relationships gone sour.
marriages crumble until all that is left are those irreconcilable differences.
friendships run off the rails.
spli.ced.

why does it scare us to delve into deeper conversation than the occasional, "how's it going?"

because it does.

we all fear being exposed for who we are. or who we aren't.
perhaps exposure begets loss. separation. the chance of being spliced.
