Dylan Haters Rejoice!

PLB and some royalty shall be glad to know that I'm now reading Bob Dylan's memoir Chronicles. The book is very interesting as he recounts the days before he recorded and when he was famous and living in Woodstock. Only problem I have had with his writing is that he uses a very random stream of conscious style (like blogging). But I should've known that his book was off to a good start when he name drops Jack Dempsey. Now can you tell me who Dempsey was?

Safe and sound out west, neither feeling ill nor well right now, but I would like to take this moment to announce silent shrouds, which is my new blog and focus on poetry.The name, silent shrouds only makes sense of the MarkHeard song "Strong Hand of Love". Here is the first verse,

Down peppers the rain from a clear blue sky/ Down trickles a tear on a youthful face/ Feeling in haste and wondering why/Up struggles the sun from a wounded night/ Out venture our hearts in their silent shrouds/ Trying to ignite but wondering how


It's not Donne or Blake but a sketchbook for my thoughts. Feel very free to criticize the content as I am unsure of what I am doing. I cannot simply write by myself and think "Oh, this is great stuff!" That is the sort of thinking that earns college syudents D minuses.

I'm eager to know if my kinda loyal readers would want me to start my own blog. Also this blog would not be journalistic, photographic or like any of my friends blogs. If you say yes I shall reveal it's design. Also this may be my last post till I'm in Portland.

Find "Neverland"

I've just come back from seing "Finding Neverland". It is more of an emotional movie than an intellectual film but I think it was flawless, I am glad it was the movie I've seen in 2005. All the actors are good, espespecialy the boys and sets, music, lighting, script,, etc. are flawless. If you dispute this asseratation please comment. I would try to give it a proper review but I am afraid of spoiling the story until I know other bloggers here have seen the movie so we could have a discussion about the different story elements of the movie.

I do not think you would waste your money if you saw this film.

You're a guest, help clean up...

When making a cross-country move, packing is like leaving a friend's house and putting away your friend's toys 'cause you have to return everything to their places as they were before they came. Bu you don't want to- you've had fun at your friend's house, missing his toys and your friend.

I'm moving within a few weeks and I am packing up right now. but I am packing only relectantly cause I don't really want to leave. I don't really like where I'm living now but I'll miss my friends.

Colorado I could have enjoyed just for the enviroment but I had many good friends I had to leave behind and there are twelve other moves I've made. This is routine, revolution as lethargy (later I'll develop this portion of the post). Throughout these movements the words I consistently think of come from songs like Jars of Clay's "Goodbye, Goodnight". Sad stuff, looking at life from a sinking ship, trying to always to get a few last words, a last dance, a last song before everthing sinks. Also the the title "Running to Stand Still" constant persistent motion to arrive at a stable conclusion. So to say it hurts trying to work through all these motions while also trying to stop. It also hurts when a friend is in a "Hello, Goodbye" situation, they're trying to say hello and I'm trying to say goodbye. I genuinely despise this sort of stuff but it's part of life. I would like to one day stand still or to make a move that is my own but but that is not happening now, oh well...

Hi, I'm Eriol and I'm a blogger...

In case I scared all of you with my sudden appearence I will tell you who I am. I am invisible member of MERE IMAGE and this is a good thing since one of these days, creativity-wise I will disappear from their terrific society (if you've been waiting for me to show upin a movie you're better off waiting for John). But for now my only responsiblity with the group is to stick hypodermic needles into their hot air balloon and injecting them with sanity. Thankfully there's others who are better at being both sane and creative in this group. Pay attention to these guys and remember they're not as crazy as they might seem. Also get their Hancocks before the writing on the wall is in california concrete.
