Life is a strange thing, and if you don't agree then you're not really living. Why do we find ourselves drawn to art (film, music, images) that presents a sort of normalcy that simply does not exist? Does anyone honestly watch a romantic comedy and think, "hey, my life could be like that!"? On the other hand, the terrifying and incomprehensible Inland Empire often reminds me of the way my life really feels. Out of control. In a world where most people struggle against nature to keep things simple by striving for conventional success, this is a movie about losing yourself to a world that offers much more if you have the strength to face it.
This is what I want to use this blog to discuss. The things in this world that are so overwhelmingly confusing for me to simply let go. Every day I find myself struggling with questions that keep me from being productive. I figure if I'm going to do so, I may as well write those thoughts down. At least this way I'll have something to show for them.
This blog is not going to make me seem like a normal dude, so if you want to think of me as just an everyday man I suggest not bothering with reading it. On the other hand, if you don't like my thoughts or disagree with them, I'd really love your comments. I need to work this shit out, man.
