The motes of dust danced with such delish delight…

We handed it all to you on a plate, packaged and pristine. The blandly mass produced trinkets, the omnipresent corporate cafes, the unchallenging auto-tuned media that fills your screens and airwaves. We’ve anaesthetised you like Huxleyan Soma with all the aroma of neatness and control whilst the disorder of your anarchic nature has been pounding at your soul.
We can never be like you so we reduce you to simplicity but you have sparks of divinity. You are married to infinity. We make you fear your imperfections but in fact they are the diamond of your being and they will always offer you unimaginable variations. You have forgotten how to dream because we have removed it from your language. But there are things inside you that are mysterious and impossible to explain and if anything cannot be rationally explained then our machines will not compute. You are being watched, my friends. You are taxed livestock. You are numbers on our screens and you are seeking little other than the peaceful parade of pictures on screens, the tranquil melody of corporate lullaby.
This is an invitation. Put down your newspapers, turn off your TV’s because there is a war being waged for your minds and you’re starting to feel scared. You’re starting to forget just how free and powerful you really are. Deep inside you there is a roaring fire that is not cooled by comfort or tamed by fear; a fire that burns in all things.

Beautiful collaboration that HitRECorder scarletoak made using one of my favorite photos, Waiting.

This one is actually my favorite of the night. It’s also getting lots o’ love, but didn’t think this one would do better!

This one of mine is currently getting a lot of love on HitRECord.
Hit RECord on Halloween
What an amazing night, my friends! No one puts on a show quite like Joseph Gordon-Levitt does. Like I said before, he’s just a big drama kid trying to make as much art, and collaborate with as many people, as he can.
The entire night was a mix of HitRECorder original and remixed videos and live performances with Sean Lennon and the Gregory Brothers (amongst others), as well as impromptu stage performances via audience interaction. Joe even filmed a short film about Li’l Red Riding Hood with a bunch of people from the audience. He even had an audition for the parts. At the end, he lead us into the Halloween Parade. It. Was. Awesome.
My favorite part though was just how cool and down-to-earth he was. He really wanted us to have a good time with him. You can see that he enjoys interacting with his fans and fellow artists. It was great to be around his energy. An unforgettable night.
Thanks to all of the awesome footage by HitRECorders I keep reliving this night even though it means enduring the inevitable depression afterwards when I realize that this night will never happen again.
Here’s the collaboration page if you guys want to check out some awesome videos and photos. I’m really honored that a few of my photos are getting a lot of love, even by Joe.

What a night, guys! I’ll post more pictures later and give you a full recap, but this show was amazing. It’s incredible how down-to-earth Joe is and how much energy he has. He was not afraid to get into the middle of the crowd and hang out with all of his fans. He reminded me of basically all of the drama kids that I was best friends with in high school. Joe is basically a big drama kid who just wants to make art in any way possible. It’s so incredibly sexy.
Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!
GPOY on Halloween edition
Hope you all have a wonderful Halloween! I’m dressing up as Leslie Knope this year. I even have my blonde wig and homemade Pawness Goddesses t-shirt. Pictures to come later. In the meantime, I hope the one above haunts your dreams, muahahaha.
After class, I’m off to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt at Le Poisson Rouge. What do you all have planned?

Joe called for submissions and I answered!
HitRecordJoe (aka Joseph Gordon Levitt) was asking writers for submissions for his awesome collaborative project on HitRecord. So, of course, I couldn’t resist and decided to submit a little scene I cooked up. What did you guys think? I’m a bit rusty on my fiction, but thought this would be a fun way to get back in the groove.
