nemultumire 0.1
Azi a inceput ca o zi de marti. O dimineata depresiv/familiara presarata cu aceeasi indispozitie moderata. 20.11.07. era dimineata zilei in care acum 21 de ani incepeam timid sa exist.
ma trezisem cu o grava sete de nimic. Am baut ceaiul, am mancat biscuitii, mi-am anagramat numele si am asteptat sa ma fac mare, sa innot cu delfinii, sa traforez cu baietii, sa alerg cu elefantii si in general sa fac lucruri care conteaza.
insa nimic nu trece de “cum ar fi daca”.
Exceptand cele 1-2 intamplari socant-amuzate cu care toti suntem datori saptamanal network-ului social - fie ca ele se intampla real sau nu- in ecuatia unei zile intervin doar 4, maxim 5 variabile. 4-5 posibile desfasurari de situatii, 4-5 combinatii de persoane cu care intri in contact, 4-5 feluri in care iti inchei seara, 4-5 emotii puternice si tot atatea tipare comportamentale pe care le schimbi ca sosetele in functie de anotimp. Variabile, nu si variate. Cu alte cuvinte, daca nu schimbi IN TINE, pentru tine nimic nu se va schimba.
Trebuia sa schimb ceva. Iar dintre toate lucrurile din jurul meu, EU imi eram cel mai la indemna. Gata sa-mi dau normalitatea pe absurd ca sa ma fac bine.
Am revenit in pat si m-am facut ca dorm pana la 1. Am inchis pisica in baie, am dat drumul la apa si am inceput cu numele.
Poate alta data.
O sa-mi pun altele. Le fac din hartie si le imbrac in material. O sa fie bine sau foarte rau.
ceea ce pana la urma e tot una.

the kind that washes your brains until it's all nice and blank on the inside.
-the main idea is to sell by presenting irrelevant information as facts of general concern, appealing to their not so innocent target in a way that tv drama does - through detective like investigations and reenactings, human tragedy freeze frames and blood chilling soundtracks; while doing a follow up story is not an implied responsibility, but a question of budgetary interests. just like the typical working girl puts on her face before hitting the streets, the media dresses up in shocking headlines, paints her stories black and blue, ties itself to the trees even if nothings' blowing, spreading panic all around like herpes. and someone always has to pay for the fun.
causes - entertainment is food for the vegetable minds and money in the pockets of those who cultivate it. While some live dull personal lives and others are born with the need to talk about the extraordinary, the news is always a juicier and more appropriate subject than family or weather. doing so, the conversation is immediately directed to safe grounds, meaning that people tend to agree with something that has already been labeled as right/wrong, true/false. this way, talking becomes an exercise of muscles more than a mental stimulation. which is comfortably nice. faking compassion, simulating disapproval, small talk goes around matters of outrageous behavior but of little personal importance like man slaughter over a piece of land in a village with a name you can't pronounce, baptized underwear, fake tits, car crashes, who our soccer players' scored with and their huge ass weddings. all as seen on tv.
-in what concerns political issues, digested info makes it easier to swallow. people are presented with parts of the facts, which gives them a fake sense of seeing the big picture. but most of them are really stumbling in the dark. that's why my grandmas' understanding of a subject depends on what news channel she's been watching.
-our innate taste for watching disaster unfold keeps us from turning our heads whenever we see a car crash. we enjoy pain as long as it's not our own. we love to experience from the comfort of our sofas'. we go on visual journeys, we surf the remote.
related mis-concepts:
drogati - conspicuous looking young men wearing hoods and large pants
manelisti - respectable gypsies with outstanding fashion sense
ecologisti - crazy anarchists who love taking their clothes off in public and hustling good faith corporate employers

mira
"It’s like opening your mother’s closet. It’s like cherry coke and a burger when you’re a fat man in his 40’s. It’s like skinny dipping in your neighbors personal jacuzzi. It’s like beating up the smelly boy in class. Like loading a trunk full of fresh cut grass - just so you could sniff and taste without anybody finding out"
- pentru ea, placerea era o sesiune deschisa, un exhibitionism impersonal, privit de la distanta. De fiecare data de altcineva. Se schimbau doar pantofii, perdelele si camerele de hotel. 20 de minute erau de ajuns. Mira iubea lucrurile care nu dureaza mult.
base jump al mintii, sport extrem de interior. Acesta este nimicul. O dezbracare violenta de decoruri inutile, accesorii nano , ochelari vintage si alte obsesesii colective: eu vreau, eu am, eu distrug, eu repar, eu sunt.
Nu simti nicio bataie in plus pe minut. Totul se produce rapid, fara ezitari, ca pe banda rulanta. La final, te trezesti cu respiratia taiata:
Eu nu contez. Eu suntem noi.

time does not take sides
oare se poate vorbi de un timp personal de vreme ce suntem cu totii logati virtual la acelasi ceas cu cuc? prinsi in aceeasi retea de oameni, de pareri (intersanjabile) si soundtrack-uri de istorie colectiva, suntem mereu pe On. comunicam pe fuga, prin status-uri. zilnic in priza. tot timpul in/pe trecere.
personal, mi se potriveste postura de a fi mereu intr-o intarziere uzuala ce imi pare gravata in structuri. frecventa cu care se intampla nu ma face sa pun la indoiala autenticitatea actului involuntar, ci nivelul lui de raspandire. interminabila criza de timp e oare, in esenta, un element ireductibil al societatii contemporane?
si daca totul e o conventie, as putea sa nu ader? ce s-ar intampla daca as reusi sa o fac?
exista cel putin 2 situatii posibile:
1. in timp, deconectarea brutala si strict personala de la dimensiunea normalitatii, ar creea un blocaj de natura social interactiva, materializat prin incapacitatea de a ma sincroniza cu ceilalti. cina ar deveni pranzul iar realitatea nu ar mai fi pe ore.
2. in cazul in care deconectarea se transforma intr-o actiune colectiva, ne vom invata sa descoperim noi instrumente la care sa raportam unitatile de timp. in functie de valorile propriului micro spatiu cultural, se vor populariza expresii absolut stupide de genul "vin intr-o supa la plic" sau "ne vedem intr-o randare". iar daca aceasta noua ordine va creea un haos uniform, tot ce ai reusit este sa transformi prin inlocuire obiectul fizic, ceasul, cu alte modalitati de masurare a timpului, pastrand insa intacta valoarea corespondenta - time itself. practic e imposibil. teoretic, se poate. as vrea sa se poata.
(totusi, avem nevoie de raportari. asa cum avem nevoie de confirmari, de supermodele si marci inregistrate. unii mult, altii si mai mult.)
remember to forget
as vrea sa aleg o singura data, o zi din an, un interval de timp a carei actiune sa o regasesc in detaliu, desfasurata pe ore, facuta zdrente sau mototolita in palma ca o foaie de hartie. depozitata aiurea printre franturi de memorie ramase intacte, murdara de pix, de acuarela, de gem, dar in deplina siguranta, in mine, fara a o fi externalizat vreodata.
am gasit-o. exista.
acolo sus, intr-un fisier , vis-a-vis de recycle bin, la stanga de constiinta.
blue paper
aproape niciodata.
nu am de gand sa fac mai mult decat pot si tocmai de aceea nu voi stii niciodata exact cat pot.
aceasta este doar o constatare.
