*It must be noted that I’m drunk*
Operation bisexuality was a big failure….
Though honestly little effort was placed into the effort, I wasn’t feeling any sort of tingle in the tangle and gave up pretty early on in the game. I guess this confirms my suspicions. I am, in fact, a big fat homosexual. How disappointing! Being BIsexual would have been such a hoot. I am left with the prospect with having to really invest in finding the secret reserve of masculinity within the deep dark Fag Caverns. I can’t rely on the on the possibility of magically finding a bride and pleasing everyone in that way. Maybe I should start doing steroids or something. I’m jealous and somewhat angry that I am only attracted to men. How boring. A future full of either Tom Lloyds or Matt Hackmans. What a lottery!
Slumdog Millionaire is certainly not worth 9 dollars. Some Indian who had a really shitty childhood and takes weekly refuge in “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” wrote it in an effort to translate Bollywood into Hollywood and let us just stipulate that they failed perhaps not miserably though certainly pitifully. It’s one of those movies that people will tell you to go see out of American guilt. Over and over images of slum life. LOOK AT HOW SHITTY INDIA IS! OH MAN YOU SHOULD BE SOOOO GRATEFUL TO BE EATING BUNCHACRUNCHES!! Man, I am gunna go ahead and eat these bunchacrunches and not feel so bad due to the oversight of your scriptwriter to incorporate comedy. That whole gimmick about having experienced the answers individually was a bit of a stretch (maybe in a chuck klosterman book or something) and the steaks of being tortured were never very elevated in my mind. I don’t care that youknowwho (not voldemort) died, and I was certainly disappointed in the happy-go-lucky ending of it all. THERE WAS A DANCE NUMBER. I wanted blood. Is that so sick? just a bit of a tragedy in the end or something. I guess that this comes from a place of not having fallen in love at the tender age of 6 and not having known any other 6 year old lovers. It baffles me why Hollywoood producers/directors/writers have convinced themselves that what I truly need in my unfulfilled life is to know that true love is possible, that is as long as I have previously invested in a relationship… at the stage of infancy. Why don’t more movies deal with erectile dysfunction? That’s something that really hits home.
I talked to some high school boys who stated that it sickened them to think about gay sex. Straight sex doesn’t make me want to vomit at all, no matter how I feel about those monsters people live to sick their faces in. Is that a machismo thing? Admitting a level of comfort with the act would be to associate oneself with an undesirable rank of man? I have no desire whatsoever to return to junior or high school. What a terrible age. s What terrible ages they were. The only thing I miss about them is leading a choir in an Italian cathedral. I miss singing in that scenario. One doesn’t just walk down the street yelping, “Ride on King Jesus, no man can hinder you!” but fuck belting that shit in baritone is pretty… orgasmic? I have myself on CD somewhere and I really don’t suck at it at all. I like having secret abilities like that, except that the pay off of having them is being able to share them with worthwhile people at some point. Which I, under the current conditions, will never be able to do. As ridiculous as it sounds, I’ve been thinking that it would kind of be fun to have a talent show or something. Or at least inviting my friends to take the leap of more fully expose themselves. And I’m not talking about talking. I’m so very tired of talking. I want to dance and sing and rest in silence. These are acts that would occur out of pleasure instead of a need to flaunt feathers. I take pleasure out of experiencing the ability of my fellow man. And it must be known by all that I’ve exhausted myself attempting to flash the extent of my kooky creativity these first three semesters. This comes from a different place. To be honest, I already know that Maggie, Jeff, and I are the hottest of hot shit in that arena already. Do I have to continue to flail my arms around? No no I have a different frontier in my eagle eye gaze. Legitimacy might be a word for it. I guess that this drunken rant can be attributed to getting some. It has put me on this cocky pedestal. But hey, this is exactly what I fucking need. I’m quite ready to enact the experiment of walking around like I own the place. I’m not too scared of the reputation I receive as long as people respect me as an artist. I’ve spend two decades unsure of myself and my capacity to lead. I’m ready to revolutionize this shit. The evolution of nuts time is upon us.
I have opinions. And you’ve got to admit that when I spend enough time formulating them they are generally worth your consideration. I’m ready to unleash them, I suppose. Is anyone else on this bandwagon? Can you see me here all disheveled slurring my words? Am I succeeding at all at conveying this emotion, this impetus? I’m trying to tell you that I’m ready to push the big red button, whatever that means. I think it does mean something. It means really writing Pro/Epi and making this shit happen. It means owning everything we create starting with 24 hour theatre. For me, at least, it manifests itself in the context of doing whatever the fuck I want to. Living on impulses. Sitting in the shower is one of my favorite memories. Ever. And it happened because we agreed to forgo logic. Maybe i’m putting a definition on something that has already been in the process of occurring, but I want to point it out as something which I require to occur even as we conclude this transition into adulthood. I want to amplify the craziness within the structure of composure, if that makes any sense. I’m ready to be Nicholas Mark Marcouiller, the adult. The living of this lifestyle might not include as many drugs. It certainly doesn’t include as much stress or pre-analyzation. Adulthood is devoid of lies. Maturity is in a sexual and intellectual free trade zone. Can we make this final leap? We’re so close already, I know. I wouldn’t verbalize it all if I didn’t think it was necessary in order to take us to the next level. Can we invest in being what we’ve dreamed about being… now? The whole degree thing will happen, too (Don’t worry!). But is it unreasonable (seriously, it might be?) to ask that we concentrate not on school but on life? I know that I certainly haven’t up until the very end of this most recent semester. You might have to risk the 4.0. I’m sorry. Maybe that isn’t something worth giving up- I wouldn’t know I’ve never had it. But why would I worry about pleasing a piece of paper instead of my dick? my eyes? my ears? If I died next year I wouldn’t want you to put on a black suit and claim “oh he was such a bright student!” even if it were true… I would want you to say that I, more than most anyone else you knew, experienced everything that Earth had to offer. I would want you to admit that together we dreamed images in our brain and did our very best to physicalize them, which is the closest to true magic that humans might achieve. I would want you to take comfort in the fact that we achieved a level of confidence to every possible door. Metaphysics isn’t something beyond our reach. Revolutions start on a small scale. I don’t need to change the world, but I’d sure fucking like to try. I think we have things to say. Meaningful things. Inspirational actions to convey. I’m not so confident that our audience is ready for it. That’s my new weakness. Trust that the words I babble are penetrating on some level. Theatre isn’t our end-all format. If nothing else, amplifying the potential of our community is a worthwhile and achievable goal this semester. Let’s go ahead and have these awfully frustrating Salons. Let’s issue pamphlets or something on topics of concern. Let’s maintain a blog that we advertise people are impelled to read. Let’s fuck who the hell we want to. (These are related things somehow) Let’s spend less time on Perez Hilton and more time reading Vonnegut. Let’s spend less time worrying about the A minuses and the skeptics and the embarrassing slip ups. I’m finding productivity from simply adopting an attitude of boldness and determination. Oprah advertises this as “The Secret” of life. That if you desire something enough you shall receive it. Maybe Billy Mullaney has the right idea, huh? I’ve always known it, but the manner in which he apparently infests himself in study is admirable in this new context. The difference in my mind would be the openness and inclusivity of our approach to it. My horizons are expanded by interactions. I want as many people to confront my journey as possible. Without Tom Lloyd telling me that time doesn’t exist, I don’t think I would be so assured in my conviction that it in fact does. Likewise his stipulation that we experience everything through a human frame of reference is an undeniable truth that has direct implications on Pro/Epi.
Maggie, on this Christmas Day (okay it’s the 25th) I want you to know that without you I’d still be doing mearly pleasant agreeable things. People would think I was “indie” and “interesting”, but only because I was a safe manifestation of an intelligent, somewhat masculine homosexual. GarageBand would still be an idle icon and kites would be a child’s spring toy. Vogue wouldn’t whisper and British accents would turn me on. Just about everything I like about myself has prospered under your direction. If I could fuck you I would. Without a condom because secretly I want us to produce a superbaby. Unfortunately I am happy enough to stand back and experience this all with you for as long as I can force you to let me do so. I’m excited for you to start licking pussy and whatnot. After having said that, I must state my sincerest belief that perhaps we were created with eachother in mind. Just two days apart. Just tiny differences here and there. I think we might have achieved that magical movie friendship that Hillary Duff dreams about. Next time you’re pissed at me tell me why. I’m probably just being stubborn or jealous. I don’t want to lose you because of some silly misunderstanding.
Jeff. I can’t recall a solid (longer than a phrase or fact) memory of you before that Arcadia night which is certainly frightening considering I’m about to say this- that you have, perhaps inadvertently, inspired this whole annoying ramble. I really need you to continue being oblivious to my flaws. And really, for some reason I exhibit my most embarrassing tendencies in the highest frequency while in your presence. I don’t know if you’re aware of the change you’ve undergone recently- I think that perhaps you have and attribute it to manhood – but just know that even if none of this post makes any fucking sense spending time with you has propelled me into a higher state of being which is perhaps the highest complement one can give. I might look back at this whole 2,000 word post someday and cringe but hey… it’s making me happier than I’ve ever been. If nothing else, i’m trying to thank you for this moment of intellectual bliss and indestructibility. Isn’t this what life is about, Jeff? Convincing ourselves that our specific realities matter and influence. Knowing that our specific human connections are tangible and worth cultivating. Can you do me a favor and tell me more often whether I’m on the right track? Although I respect you as a complete equal, I also need you to be on board as my editor.
If you two aren’t on the bandwagon yet JUMP THE FUCK ON. I’ve gone crazy and it’s fucking DELIGHTFUL. You’ve already got that foot on the runner. Now just um devote the best years of your life to the possibility that we are on to something. And that this something can’t possibly occur in the way that conventional people achieve their dreams. It requires these cheesy documents.
