Snap the sky


'What is the point of taking photos of sky and clouds?' somebody asked me, to which I know the answer 'that piece of cloud is so beautiful that it makes me want to scream." will not make me look any less crazier, so I gave a shrug of I've-no-idea, but what I was sure was that I certainly preferred clumsy photos of sky, clouds, streets to those of them. I hate being sentimental, or I hate showing that. When you try to decipher codes, it becomes hard to feel emotional before any stories in novels which aim to play with pathos. I cannot remember crying over anything that can be defined as sadness or happiness, which does not mean I've lost my faculty of crying. I do cry, only not before a film or someone's unfortunate family story or the 'tragedy' of the hero in the epics...anything that you 'are supposed' to shed tears for, but I'd cry reading a crazily jumbled passage seeming like some lunatic's charabia, or remembering the location of a past period but not able to fill it with any contents, or, seeing anything that is vast, the sea, the desert, or the sky... hopefulness, hopelessness, no use to define. I guess I'm just not used to it, all of it, being so real and unreal at the same time.

Seesaw

I don't get drunk, by which I mean I don't normally get drunk from alcohol for the same reason I hated napping in the kindergarten, or, sleeping at all, that being conscious is much more fun than loosing it. But the question is how much conscious one can be? Is it possible to become too aware of things that you actually find yourself loosing awareness? I'll freak out if the shape of my mind is no longer palpable. It feels like a fetus, suffocated in a place where it is in constant struggle to get out of. The frustration is that it does not know where is the place smothering it. It denies the mother that carries it in the first place, so how can it get out of the unknown? Unlocated, it is not looking for a home to go back but trying to find a home to get away from. If you get it drunk, I will still be aware of it, if I get myself drunk, it will be aware of me. Can I get both of us drunk? I don't know how.
