Arrivals and Departures

Grand pops is in town. Just flew in over the week and I'm still guessing it's for good. Good so, he's been away for a while now and everyone's missing him much. 84 years young and still going strong - that's my grandfather.

Sitting down with him over a coffee and a slice of chiffon cake, I'm given a brief glimpse of what the world was like when he was around during the World Wars and Martial Law. His memories are almost as fresh as the day it happened. It's amazing how someone can recall so many details; names, places, events, quotes... kinda makes you wonder how much can a person's mind really store throughout his/her entire lifespan. For you forgetful bums, take fuckin note!

I'm slightly inebriated after watching Wanted... literally and visually! 2 cans of Red Horse Strong Beer and a visually visceral visage of violence and voracious veximilitude (made that up) can only be taken in so much. I think it's not out yet but I'm gonna spoil it for you dudes... Angelina Jolie dies!!! Not before you're given a good glimpse of her (or the stand-in's) rear-end view :D good times!

My cousin sister's sweet sixteen just passed by yesterday. I got her an Irvine Welsh mind-fuck book titled "If you liked school... you'll love work." Messes with your mind from the title on... I don't know what's it really about but if it's Irvine Welsh (ref. Trainspotting), it's bound to be a good read. Happy 16th sis! Now here comes the fun part of life in trickles... hehe.

I'm up to my neck in readings but it's all good considering my lit teacher's have got totally opposing opinions about the idea of lit. One's a male idealist in his early 30s and the other's a female liberalist who looks like the lobbyist of both Burger King and McDonalds put together! Photography is slowly taking shape in weeks... not shots and school's been good so far.

It's funny how much a little issue such as reading or the idea of authority can blow up to immense argumentative proportions (as I'm proving to be true right now). Why can't people just accept the fact that we live in a world, and age where choices are no longer determined by the satisfying end, but by the complex economics of political and socio-pathological need to satisfy? Did that make sense? I dunno but who gives a shit? Rising oil prices, natural disasters left-right-center, political instabilities, social abnormalities... who can ignore the fact that the world is shrinking day by day and we're all tadpoles caught in the middle of it all? It's disturbing to say the least... there's no such thing as absolute freedom anymore. I think I'll pack it all up and become a monk... wait, isn't there some socio-political religious hoo-hah going on in Tibet? Dammit! Can't a man get a break for a few minutes in his little sane island?!?!?!?!

Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks freedom and independance is bestowed... there's no such fucking thing! We all have to live according to the rule of survival and that's the motherfucking truth! Fuck it... I'll just have another cold one and watch as the world fucks itself on its own... I need a stick.
