The Dancing Trees

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be a tree. Not to be a tree at any old time, but to be a tree on breezy/windy nights, such as the current one. I look at these trees moving their hips and their limbs, and I wonder what it would be like to be a dancing tree like that. To have your moves determined by a force in which you cannot control, in such a case the wind. It's also interesting to see that not one tree dances in the same step. Each one has their own set of moves, their own style of dancing. This thought leads me to ponder what the personality is that lies within these products of nature. For example one tree may move forcefully, flailing about as if there is a point to be made or something that needs to be said. Those trees apparently need and want to be heard and seen. Now, on the other hand you have those trees that move ever so slightly, so gently. These seem to be the type that just move in the moment and for the moment. These seem relaxed and in a state of grace. Now compare this analogy with how you go about your day. Are you a forceful, flailing tree that needs to be heard and seen? Or, do you have a general relaxed way with things, and go about your day peacefully. You see, it's in my opinion that with persons that are the first type of tree, a lot of energy is wasted on unnecessary flailing about that really does the opposite of what one wishes to accomplish. Those trees break their limbs from such wild behavior, meaning that such a person creates significant amount of stress and despair that is just unnecessary. While the second type of tree may at times be too laid back, and not possess a healthy amount of urgency to move one forward in life. I feel that to gain traction and have and upper-hand to move forward and succeed, you must be a medium tree, a blend of the two types. We'll call this tree the hybrid. This hybrid is releaxed and at a state of grace and dances in the moment for the moment, but will at times, when needed, dance wildly so as to be heard when a point needs to be made. These hybrids are the trees that influence those two separate types to blend more together and create a dance that is beautiful visually and mentally. This is the dance that drives one to move forward, to inspire, and to succeed.

Yep, another ramble that most likely doesn't make sense, but it needed to come out.

In Motion

Apparently I don't have the ability to keep up with this on a day to day basis. I suppose there has been a thought funk that has encompassed myself lately, is this the re-awakening? Possibly. Of course it is 2:16am and I work tomorrow, however, late night film watching has become a regular occurrence. Tonight, The Social Network. I do not doubt any of the wins and nominations this film has received, it deserves them all. The soundtrack, which is currently filling my brain with sparks of energy traveling ever so swiftly across the highways of thought and intellectual stimulation that make up what it is that is my brain, is something truly remarkable. This is an example that can be applied to that of the Mozart Effect. If you haven't heard of this book, look into it: The Mozart Effect by Don Campbell. I can't begin to dive into that system of ideas, although it's something encountered every second of my life, it's a bit complex but intriguing and will change how you view what it is you allow into your ears.  This soundtrack has been composed with the term "intellectual" in mind for sure, because that's what this movie is about. The makings of this album pose open doors to worlds of thoughts and ideas, call them, formulas for possible creations whether it be homework, a work project, a song, a moment of self-realization, etc. These are sounds of complexity that have their top button buttoned and their tie on straight, clean-cut is the key to this album's success; clean-cut with a bit of a "fuck you very much, i'm the ceo bitch" tagged onto it. A bit of a warning though, listening to this piece at such a late hour may cause insomnia, as I am experiencing due to the amount of moving energy in my brain. If you haven't caught on, it's apparent I highly suggest viewing this film. It may change your view of Facebook. I know I'm having difficulty looking and using it the same.

I just had a pause in my writing. A good few minutes of sitting, listening, and listening to the thoughts racing through my brain. I need to make something, creating something. First I suppose I should go through the minutes just prior to entering the world of the sandman.

Expect another entry sooner than later.
