I miss you, Coachella.
I miss the beautiful people.
I miss the endless amounts of great music.
I miss waking up to the heat.
I miss starting my days with whatever alcohol I fell asleep next to.
I miss the feeling I would get every time I entered the gates.
I miss smoking weed while…

The post below is a very thoughtful articulation of why The Social Network is not entirely the zeitgeist movie it has largely been lauded for being. Why, you ask? Because it doesn’t survey both the pros and cons of technologically-mediated communication. The film’s primary flaw is that it does not once give credence to the potential (and proven) benefits of virtual formats of...

Love Poem
homunculusone:
Beyond watching eyes With sweet and tender kisses Our souls reached out to each other In breathless wonder And when I awoke From a vast and smiling peace I found you bathed in morning light Quietly studying All the messages on my phone

Indra's Net
“Imagine a multidimensional spider’s web in the early morning covered with dew drops. And every dew drop contains the reflection of all the other dew drops. And, in each reflected dew drop, the reflections of all the other dew drops in that reflection. And so ad infinitum. That is the Buddhist conception of the universe in an image.” - Alan Watts
Demons

Lucidity is the state of mind to which I aim
Enough stimuli to jolt my synapses and ignite my mind aflame
Ideas and creativity surging through my veins
Is it so wrong to aspire to live a life poetic?
To metamorphosize experience from direct to symbolic?
Let the hands of my imagination
Mold this clay of raw perception
Solidify it into visions
Too sublime to be called my mind’s mirror image
Senses...

Cine Institute in Haiti
Cine Institute, Haiti’s one and only film school, was demolished by the recent 7.0 magnitude earthquake that ravaged the island. Luckily, several cameras were recovered from the rubble, and film students at the school are now using them to document the destruction for the world.
It is times like these that should serve to remind us of the democratizing potential and power of media. It is...
