shake it off..

ok time to shake off the general malaise and mind fog that people generally feel as the weather gets colder. winter is no longer approaching (since winter is no longer happening for me this year) and i am flung back into summer vibes and modes. time to embrace the reality that i am in rather than floating through days with my head in a bag.

in spirit of a period of feeling rather blazé (and i know i am not the only one) i havn't been listening to any music, nor have any desire to. i guess it's not such a strange thing... a lot of people have no concept of music.

there is just too much out there. its good to just close your eyes and shut your ears from the world for a bit. and then coming back with a clearer mind.

a real post is coming shortly...

i am so sorry..

i'm terribly sorry for the near month long abandonment.

i have indeed travelled a half day in the future. slightly longing for a not-so-distant past that seems to exist simultaneously, but in a dimension beyond myself.

i've been losing myself in a state of limbo and forgetting any sense of time only to occupy my mind with games and puzzles.. played to the eternity until i indeed became a...



there needs to be changes on this site for me to continue writing.

back to the Future?

after a disorienting summer in Montreal, i've decided to travel back to the East to complete ventures i was only beginning to delve into when i left.

in all technicality.. it is currently Wednesday afternoon over there.. making them a good half day in the future.

not only that, but i am somehow convinced they are the future and currently functioning to represent the future - hovering within anxiety, forth coming potential and possibility.. being in this country (CAN) and environment my entire life, i feel i have learned as much as i can from this place at the moment.

going away in all curiosity, i hope to discover and learn from the emerging Contemporary Chinese Culture and at the same time recognize a sense of hybridity and identity in our globalizing world of Internet and technology.

what role the Arts will take in the vastly modernizing and rapid speed economy? what will the kids do? how will they approach life, how will they deal..? how will the world deal? how will i deal..? in a place where independent endeavors and creativity just starting to be given more openness to.. the new freedom will be liberating for the people now able to build their own world and identity.

please feel free to send me material to share and exchange with people over there.. to perhaps inspire the new emerging generation of artists in a country where the youth are rapidly discovering a new world of contemporary creative freedom and thought.

(please read back to older posts from January onwards to understand where this is all coming from - recent posts have been lulled since coming back to Montreal to documentation of events and fragments of discover.)
