• seriously, dallas green is amazing. i never get sick of him, and his lyrics are always perfect. i really don't have anything about me to say, but i have... WHOA WAIT, WTF? WHERE'S ALL THE HANDY EDITING TOOLS THAT WERE I COULD USE ON MY JOURNAL LIKE LAST WEEK? lame. but anyway. as i was saying. i have some things i've found. and seen. idk, in the last few days i came across/rediscovered some major beauty. 1) this woman's work by kate bush. yeah, it's from 1989. yeah, i heard it for the first time the other day. yeah, its beautiful. times about 60. i have this ... eh, yeah - obsession with contemporary dance. i think it all stems from dance being the one thing i wasn't allowed to do growing up. i've played almost every sport, took music lessons, art lessons, and had about 4 million different, short lived hobbies. but the one thing i was never allowed to do was dance. and i never got over it. i still want to dance... but anyway. back to my point. i was watching these youtube videos from this one choreographer/dance studio/dance team that i really really love. no joke, her stuff has made me cry. so i come across one called "my life's work". the description of the video was how this particular choreographer has never been a part of something as beautiful as that dance. the girl who danced it was only fifteen, and she did it so much justice. it was this RIDICULOUSLY beautiful solo to "this woman's work". everything about it was perfect. ugh, i can't describe it. i really can't describe the feeling i had in my gut. so yeah, that's the first one. 2) the movie STAY. if you've never seen it, i HIGHLY recommend it. i think i saw it for the first time like three years ago, but i hadn't seen the whole thing. and i just remember being slightly disturbed, very intrigued, and extremely, extremely confused. but i forgot about it. then, maybe last year, i saw it again. the whole thing. and i was bllllownnnn awwwwaaaaay. i immediately bought it. yesterday morning, i watched it on a whim for the first time in months. once again, i found myself blown away. there's so many good lines in that movie. its such a dark twisted film, but there's so much hope in it. i would try to explain it, but by explaining what's going it, it would give away the ending. and if i were to explain it WITHOUT giving away the ending, it would kinda lead you in the wrong direction, therefore thoroughly confusing you when/if you ever watch the movie. which i recommend you do. but i wanna post some of the good quotes from the movie... "i burned myself. - you burned yourself? why? ...practicing for hell." "un suicide élégant est l'oeuvre d'art ultime." "if this is a dream, then the whole world is inside it." "bad art is more tragically beautiful than good art, because it documents human failure." "there's too much beauty to quit." "you know, the day i did it, i took two razorblades to the bathtub. you know why? because i knew that once i started to bleed, i'd get weak. and i didn't wanna drop one blade and leave myself half done. can you imagine that? can you imagine hating your life so much that you'd wanna bring a backup razor?" "tell me i'm good. - you're good. tell me they'll remember me. - who's they? the world... - is that what you want? -...the world will remember you." the movie is so clever and suspenseful and specttaaaaacular. i could go on for days analyzing it. if you've ever seen it, come discuss it with me. 3) chuck palahniuk i've definately mentioned him before. his is by far my favorite author. everything he writes is so relevant. his characters, which always narrate his story, consistently make these comments that are not only specific to the story, but are bold, general statements about society and people in general. everyone of the books i've read by him are filled with post-its and highlighter marks. pick up something by him. i suggest diary. or be legit and read fight club. his stories are always darkly hysterical. and cynical. and so so so so well written. i love his work. its really really amazing. he just makes such interesting points. i wanna have lunch with him. but i cant picture him as someone to sit down to a nice, civilized lunch. maybe we'll go vandalize something. 4) city and colour i kinda already talked about dallas green. aka city and colour. i was listening to sleeping sickness [hence my title]. it so does not hurt that gord downie from the tragically hip sings on that song with him. 5) said the whale
