Stars and ghosts

Wed Dec 9, 2009, 5:10 PM
  • Mood: Euphoric
  • Listening to: The Cranberries - Dreams
  • Reading: Le Dernier Rayon Du Soleil - Guy Gavriel Kay
  • Watching: Six feet Under
  • Playing: Neverwinter Nights 2
  • Eating: Snow! :D
  • Drinking: Melted snow! :D
Hey! So now it's snowing here, a lot! :D And here's my trip from school back to home: putted "Deadwing" CD (Porcupine Tree) in the radio, and gone with the wind! The music really fitted with the weather, to the point where when a more ambient part was playing, there was light and wind and everything was peaceful....and in a more metal mood, I was driving through stars and ghosts....Yeah, I should probably explain that part! ^^;'You see, I always saw falling snow as stars whenever I was sitting in a running car during a cold winter night. The kind of stars you see when they go at the speed of light in Star Wars. Oh, and the ghosts? The small smoke "flowing" from the road when it's really windy, as if the white ghosts of life were flowing out of the earth and disappear into the night....There's the small ghosts from the ground, and the big round ghosts looking like «giant elephant ghost» appearing under lampposts in large windy areas. Those area are frequent on freeway! :D

You go in another dimension, at an incredible speed, while your kid's eyes where only focusing on these optical illusions of leaving this world, flying in space with only ghosts to follow you by. In fact, I had trouble keeping my attention on the road instead of those «illusions»! XD Sometimes I wasn't even able to see on which lane I was since there was so much "ghosts"! Ah, I miss that from being a kid, not having to look constantly at the road and taking your time by looking at the sun, the fields, the snow....At least I knew at the time that I should cherish those moments, the driving license being only a step away from a teenager.

Anyway, I was driving and suddenly, at the softest of the songs (Mellotron Scratch), I began to be blind; the wipers didn't work at their best and a lot of flurries were suddenly appearing from nowhere.....actually, not from nowhere, there was a truck with no lights on right in front of me! I had all the trouble of getting past it, but I did. And then a lamppost just crashed live in front of me because a snow-removal truck hit it with the edge of its giant truck-shovel. And getting back home, the CD ended. So a nice evening of near-death experiences, great music and a lot of snow to play with (but not many around to do so with me). I like that. The thing is, once again, this is a bit like my life: I don't see the shit of where I'm going to, but I know I'm going somewhere. A pity most people have the illusion of it.

Talking about something else, I had a wonderful idea of art pieces: I heard a lot about this bull-crap of 2012 (seriously? Because some "wise" people who seemingly seemed to know everything predicted that something would happen now, then the end of the world is coming? A change, yes, not the end, and I've been through something similar myself so... and by the way, if I die, then everyone dies, so why to be afraid?), and it gave me an excellent idea. Two pictures, one peaceful and one chaotic, the peaceful named "2013" and the chaotic named "2010", to show how everything will be fine and that people should think about the present moment, instead of being so......foolish. No kidding, for the influenza A virus vaccine, people would go in line waiting hours for it, while there's not that much danger around that. It's an influenza: there's one every year, just be careful and think of those around you if you could put them in danger (teachers and kids for example). Not my case, and if I die, and die we shall someday, then I don't care....Pictures, right, it's a pity there's no more lines like that, but I'm pretty sure I can find some mall being devastated by consumers. As for the peaceful part, I'll have to search.

And Christmas? I bought myself the Dr. Horrible DVD and a Cranberries CD a few weeks ago, so I'll probably some shirts and/or music, but I'll probably save some money for an apartment in Quebec next year. Fender? Maybe, maybe not, we'll see. The only downside of it all is that my Converses are up in the closet for another 5 months. I just ducktaped them! XD Merry Christmas to all!

Halloween personnal record?

  • Drinking: Punch in a pumpkin
I'm just coming back from my last Halloween party. I say last, because it was the third one I had! First I was disguised as a sun for the mid-semester math association party (see posted pictures), next I had to be disguised as Waldo at my relatively new job (and of course, the cashiers were the only one disguised in the whole store), but the day went well. In the evening, I had a party with some friends at Three-Rivers where I was to be a monk warrior (last minute disguise taken from the time I used to play live Dungeon & Dragons).

It was a great evening. It ended at 4 in the morning.......after the hour setback. In fact, I had a great evening not because of the friends, the booze (punch in a pumpkin, pumpkin which of course ended its life on the street since my friend lives in an apartment on the second floor) or the nice Rockband session we had (and for the record, Rockband is still fun at 3 in the morning when most people are drunk, but the singer becomes more and more hurtful for the ears! XD), but because of the way I had to T-R.

A nice dark evening, great songs playing at CHOM (my CD didn't play at all, except during adverts), some kind of night where you don't feel the wind since its coldness force you to close the car windows, but where you know only by looking outside that it would be great to stop the car and walk a bit (which I didn't, since doing that on the freeway is kinda suicidal). And of course, the moon. Perfect for that night, beautiful, almost complete, sensual round and white moon. Weird how curves found in "nature" can be as sensual as feminine curves. Guess it's because they're both (most of the time) natural.

Oh, and Felicia Day (Penny in Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog) is in a Sears commercial. Weird. I can't wait for the sequel of Dr. Horrible!

Where to now?

So, as I said, I lived my adventure. Now is the time to get on with my life, and get the best out of it. I'll have my maths degree next December, and since the important thing in life is to do what you like (without hurting others of course! XD), I'll study Art History next year in Quebec City. I still have time to change my mind though. Anyway, that was the thing that was missing in my mind: something about art that I could live with, without being the one creating the art (cause I don't want to and I'm not able to create commercial stuff). My job counselor told me during the beginning of the year that I could study Art History, so I could work in a museum or something. Great, another degree which won't give me much things except debts...

What am I talking about?!? Art History! At least, I'll learn a lot of interesting stuff. Plus, I'm someone that people will say "He at least studied something he loved.". And what about money? Meh, if it was only for me, I wouldn't care much about that. The thing is, if I get a girlfriend and/or a kid, well I'll need money for sure. Meh, I still have plenty of time ahead of me I guess! ^^; So yeah, it's kind of a Cashback, but with art: they (and you all! ;) ) give me pieces of art, and I give them my feelings; Feelback.

I thought it would be more than that after three months away from this country, but it's more than enough anyway! Yep, I'm back, and I guess for a long while. I had my adventure, I found what I was looking for (even though I don't really know what I was looking for! XD), so now, I'll have a nice time getting up to date in everything! See you around!

And that's it.

Well, that's about it. I'm departing to Nepal on Monday, my plane lifting off at 19:40. I was very pleased to what I've found over the years on DA, some pieces were funny, others very touching. Even though I'm a man of art, I'm also a man of heart and for this I must go. I'm not sure if I'm coming back or not, guess I'll find out when I'll be there! ^^; Once again, thank you all for the enjoyment and the nice times I had with you here. Take care!
