Motion Pictures-Neil Young






Motion pictures
on my TV screen,
A home away from home,
livin' in between
But I hear some people
have got their dream.
I've got mine.

I hear the mountains
are doin' fine,
Mornin' glory
is on the vine,
And the dew is fallin',
the ducks are callin'.
Yes, I've got mine.

Well, all those people,
they think
they got it made
But I wouldn't buy,
sell, borrow or trade
Anything I have
to be like one of them.
I'd rather
start all over again.

Well, all those headlines,
they just bore me now
I'm deep inside myself,
but I'll get out somehow,
And I'll stand before you,
and I'll bring
a smile to your eyes.

Mother Nature's Son-The Beatles


Discovering who your real friends are is a thing, it really happens, and it's really painful, but also incredibly refreshing.

The Existence Validating Shower Experience


This is the piece I submitted to Rookie mag, just for kicks or whatever. 


The Existence Validating Shower Experience
By Me

I haven’t always been a risk taker. A risk taker in the sense of immediate life choices, talking mostly with regard to experience in the fields of love or living situations or drugs or ultra-violence or whatever else curious teenage beings associate themselves with. I’ll absolutely ride the biggest roller coaster in the park and promptly scream and flail my arms, not because I am afraid, simply because it feels as though my arms will remove themselves from their shoulder sockets. And I enjoy that. ‘Risking’ no longer having my two upper limbs. Unnecessarily climbing buildings. Doing a ridiculous dance move in the middle of a city and chipping the corner of a front tooth. Pinching someone on the bootie. Sleeping over somebody’s house on a whim (though ‘sleeping’ is incorrect because the exhilaration is too powerful to still, due to the Talking Heads dance party just had). These are all things I consider to be risks, no matter how petty or insignificant they may seem, they are still things you decide on, a process during which your heart and /or other vital organs may skip a beat and / or jump around slightly.

It all came whirling down on me one evening when I was taking a shower in my home, after having returned from a week-long holiday.
I had built myself a solid routine in my home shower. And I mean solid. Extending to minute details including the direction I pointed the shower head, assuring my naked body I wouldn’t be pelted with cold water before it had the chance to heat up. I have my own exfoliating gloves and I bring clothes into the bathroom. Having a shower is an event. Every act is planned. My method of ‘wash face--shampoo hair--scrub body--rinse face/hair/body--condition hair--brush out hair--rinse’ has been scrupulously thought out. Recently, I was introduced to brushing my teeth in the shower and discovered the immense bliss it brought me (being able to dribble a minty foamy substance and not have it stain my clothes-glory) and had to learn to adapt my mechanical shower situation so it now runs: wash face--shampoo hair--scrub body--rinse face/hair/body--condition hair--brush teeth--dribble tooth paste--brush out hair—rinse.

The second morning of my holiday, I went to take a shower to remove the 8 hour car trip stench and suddenly, the universe shifted. Would the thwarting of my shower ritual truly be the end? All my soaps weren’t on the ride side where they SHOULD have been. The hair products were different. They were miniscule. Had I surpassed my growing into a behemoth human thing? The shower head didn’t even move, was I doomed to endure the tiny pellets of liquid ice?!

And then I realised, OH, THE FRAGILITY OF LIFE.
If I am so put out by such a seemingly trivial event I have implemented into my unbelievably regular and otherwise somewhat routineless life, what does this say about the nature of existence? How delicate we are! It’s actually quite incredible when you think about it. Every decision we make is like a snail crossing a fishing line bridge between two buildings. Either way we choose, the snail falls off to one side, hopefully if it’s a good risk for YOU, there’ll be a trampoline beneath for little snail to bounce safely to the ground (the snail would definitely not even survive this, I think, please refrain from testing).

When faced with an unknown shower in a strange bathroom, we are faced with two questions:
a) Do I continue my routine at home and try and reduce the amount of FREAK OUT when it’s all thrown out of whack? ie. Are small, ‘unimportant’, very structured every day events the types of things that prevent our brain hands from clutching utter insanity? Is it these things that provide a balance to allow us to do risky / perhaps utterly stupid things and feel quite liberated by it?

b) Do I stop my routine completely and attempt it all ad lib? Will this put me in more of a “LIVIN’ LIFE ON DA EDGE” frame of mind because I have destroyed the ritual like quality I had given to basically the most medial of everyday activities? Will I be able to make difficult decisions that will have implications on me for some time because I have exercised a willingness to change and to constantly be in a state of flux?

Risks are facts and pieces of evidence of our existence. They are real and they are important. Mysterious showers are important. Though baths are a great idea…

tiredandillBUTLOVINLIFE

I got an early mark from work today and went shopping and nearly bought a $173 dress, it's SO gorgeous. So maybe when I get back from melbourne or get my tax money back or whatever or actually I still need like 300 bucks from that Easter job I did. That's right, EASTER. Gee wizz guys, gimme my money already.

I've nearly listened to Clouds Taste Metallic record three times in full.

I am going to start eating healthier and doing a little bit of exercise.

Next week, I start German lessons. (ENROLLED)

Next week, I get to see Todd Rundgren--twice!!

In two weeks, I leave for melbourne to stay with my brother in the city for a week.

Later in August I am going to see Tavi Gevinson.

What I did buy however, was a super sparkly shirt from the opportunity shop for four dollars harhar.

This is what I look like after a 7 hour breakfast shift.




And also, this song is the best

RAGE

so I spoke to a girlfriend of mine for the first time in a month and told her that I was no longer moving to Melbourne and she was mostly upset about no longer having a drummer for her band and as soon as I got off the phone I received a message for another girl who I've not seen in a month asking me why I was no longer going to melbourne and I told her the reasons why and then I got this reply
(also news travels maddeningly fast)


"idk I just worry about you babe, melb would have let you do lots of music stuff you can't do here and really learn how all that works, and better prepared you for living overseas where it's harder to make mistakes and if you have real anxieties about being around lots of people that's going to make it extra hard now. As long as you're staying for the right reasons and not because you're freaked out xx also soz I'm not saying it to make you feel bad, you just seemed so determined to do it for ages so I just get worried is all, idk"

I'm sorry but we haven't even really had a real proper conversation in over a month so you have no idea what has been going on in my life lately and I cried when I first booked my ticket because I was so uneasy about the decision what I do is my choice you're not my mother don't tell me what is good or not good for me you have had about as much life experience as I have why do you think you can tell me what to do GEEZ I know she's just worried and cares about me lots and she means the best for me and is coming from her heart or whatever, but far out it makes me giant rage maybe I will buy myself an island and live there by myself with no one at all just marlon brando films and adventure time and my thermals and jay z's new record SUCK IT LYF. Jack White should come to my island too I will never get over him ever. I have so much to do in my life and I will do it all myself and everything will be great. MNMNMNM (that's me sticking my tongue out at life)

I AM READY...

...to clean my bedroom








givemeyourshoulderplz

roaring of planes coming not close enough. their space carving through the air that i am swimming in. the air that swallows me as i am lost in noise and in blur. lost in indecision. lost in abstraction. lost in solitude. content with my legs crossed, staring at a nail polish stain on the carpet made some months ago. i need to learn to not be so content and at ease with doing so little with my time. i've lost myself in the lists i've made of things to do and to be. lost and pathless.

DAT BLUE SKY

Day three familybamily

Didn't wake up till 12

Went to the beach 

Ate some cupcakes

Looked for seashells and built sandcastles with my small children relatives

Sat on a couch with Nicky Pee for several hours contemplating what piece of music we should do our anxiously awaited interpretative dance tomorrow night, we stumbled across the perfect material--Allen Ginsberg's musical interpretation of Songs of Innocence and Experience by William Blake. SUPER PSYCHED.

Now I'm going to a dinner with all of my generation at da bowlo

DA BOWWWLOOOO

I love that this is a thing...
