Weekend Blitz
It's been a busy month, just started my summer job (doing monotonous-office work - gotta pay the bills right?) and I'm taking summer courses in order to catch up with my credits. Picked up a few mags on my way home and came about this interesting article in Adbusters - Journal of the Mental Environment Issue 84, by Stephanie Bailey on "nihilism / optimism".
Yet another blog posted a copy of this piece, do check it out.
I haven't created any artwork lately because I'm still in the process of gathering creative flow (that's my excuse). Who knows, I might be going through a lazy phase or maybe I need a holiday from the city life...
A question that keeps repeating itself in my mind is: What da fuck is Art nowadays? What is the significance between the culture clash between Western society and Northern Culture? Is there even a culture clash? Seems like it's all blended into a mixture of glorious non-sense again.
Long live the egoist.

Terminology: Kaw
Just to clarify in the context of my blog, "kaw" is not the sound of a crow but an expression saying "eh" or "u know/" or "ya"
Learned there's a movie titled Kaw, a movie about killer crows.

It 's been three years since...
I've spent the whole day doing my errands that I almost forgot about today. It has been three years since I OD'd, suffered a heart attack, died for a time unknown, [blank], then woke up feeling like I just got up from the morgue - that stupid december 19 night... Shit, time flies. It wasn't exactly the best experience in my book, nevertheless it's a lesson learned. "Cheers to Life and a F*** You to Death!" Wonder if that's what Jesus was thinking when he resurrected?... Most likely along the lines of "ouwaah, kaw"
I guess I'll die another day.

The Legend of Ayaashauu
This is one of my fav' legends growing up. Hearing about the witches with the pointy elbows use to scare me as a kid.. not as much as the eduum uushtekawn (disembodied dog head) lol
If only I didn't have such a short attention span, I would give Trad. Storytelling a shot too.

News: Hell on Earth's Top Ten
Top Ten Ecological Disaster areas around the globe... (green.sympatico.msn.ca)
http://green.sympatico.msn.ca/article.aspx?cp-documentid=740007
Guess what's no. 6? James Bay, Quebec! This is what I've been trying to say, Hydroelectric Power isn't the cleanest form of energy there is out there (despite their efforts in their latest attempts/ ads on TV). I would know, I grew up in that area. Not only did it affect the environment, it also affected the people, the Crees/ Iiyiyuuch on a physical, psychological, emotional, and on a spiritual level. I am always weary to drink from the tap, or consume fish from the river whenever am back up north.
Disrupted Harmony only breeds Chaos and Confusion. I couldn't ignore this article, and it's pretty much just a general summary of what the true details are. The photo links in the link above only has limited photographs, the rest is yet to be published. People need to educate themselves more on where their energies they utilize on a day-to-day come from. Take what you only need. Leave the rest to replenish itself. The northern 'lifeless' wilderness are nothing but. They are filled with life, people and natural splendour!
Can't help but it just reminds me of dense sadness on a collective scale. Most people try to ignore it but the feeling is must too strong to deny. Iiyiyuuch are stronger than we seem, its just the matter of digging deep within to find the strength and courage to keep on striving through this reality. Modern Civilization is the both a blessing and an awful curse. I hope it crumbles under its own weight like any other past 'great civilizations' in history - rebuilds itself anew, learning from the mistakes of the past - for the next generations to come.
Iiyiyuuch, a literal translation is: simply human. If one human suffers in one part of the world, there is a butterfly effect rippling on the other side of the coin. This was my 2-cents and random mental rant on something I read during my afternoon break and commented on. akuuda, muujiktaa, buutheejaa!

Sonnet:
When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has glean'd my teeming brain,
Before high piled books, in charactry,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripen'd grain;
When I behold, upon the night's starr'd face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love; -- then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
When I Have Fears that I may Cease to Be, John Keats, OldPoetry.com
