I already typed it and its only 5 am... I'll just leave it in this format.
kureejii eshi: well this dream was making films... and i was shooting the films and it sorta became the cool thing for everyone around me to be in my films... suddenly there were more then enough people volenteering... but it didn't feel right... i'm big on the people's motivation for working with me and even though i could do all these projects ive had on the back burners it didnt feel quite right
kureejii eshi: so i went to visit one of my friends... she lives in philly now with a boyfriend and roommate
kureejii eshi: and so we are sitting around and talking... drinking a bit too... and we start getting loud... im drunk and i lose control of the situtation in the dream...
kureejii eshi: we start talking about how things should be done because of the passion of the moment and basically we all start having sex... i guess... i was hazy and flashing in and out
kureejii eshi: it was like someone had a blue strobe light on and i was only catching the occasional still image as the light flickered
kureejii eshi: so the next morning im waking up and i've my friend in my arms... and there is a camera which has like a gift tag on it which says play me...
kureejii eshi: on the tape is her doing a confession of her feelings for me, as i preview it her boyfriend over hears what she said and begins to hit me
kureejii eshi: i spin out and crash into a stero knocking over a big speaker which i pick up and hit him with... he falls bleeding and as i turn around i see her there with the camera filming it
kureejii eshi: she walks up to me, still nude, holding the camera to her eye and mouths the word passion then kisses me
kureejii eshi: scene fades to black and time skips ahead
kureejii eshi: we're sitting in her apartment and have people over, we're are drinking cheap wine in the plastic gallery cups and eating cheese on crackers as people walk through and look at the ruffled sheets, the damaged stero, the video playing on the tv, and her boyfriend...dead... proped up in the corner
kureejii eshi: my friend approaches, wearing a red latin style dress.. you know the kind where the trim goes down longer on one side then the other... and she has on her arm this tall girl wearing all black with a broach with a crying clown on it...
kureejii eshi: after introduced the girl tells me her stop story, how she was beaten by her father and raped by the 'friends' she turned to for safehaven.. how she had always wished to be a painter but her hand cant be steadied... she goes onto say that she wishes to give herself over to my work because she cannot bring herself to make her own work anymore...
kureejii eshi: from further talking it becomes clear that this girl wishes for me to kill her.. and color falls from the scene
kureejii eshi: all the background characters fade to amorphic black blobs as the scene becomes black and white... a loud smash as a vase with 5 red and 1 black roses in it crashes to the ground breaking on impact... it must have been close because i feel the water slash up against my legs... im staring down at the vase and when i look up its just my friend, the girl, and 5 cameras pointed towards us
kureejii eshi: the girl hands me a rusty dagger... the kind with bends in it... and when i blow on it the rust flakes away... I hold it as if to stab her and thrust it down towards her chest but stop just as the tip brushes her skin and watch as a small singular drop of blood runs from the wound down around the curve of her breast and fades into her dress
kureejii eshi: she is trembling in shock at the realization of what she nearly had me do and falls to her knees and wraps her arm around my leg
kureejii eshi: she looks up mortified and i hear her speak as if saying two things at once "why did you do it" "why didnt you do it"
kureejii eshi: she asks me again and again both at the same time and i don't know how to answer her
kureejii eshi: i look over towards the cameras and see my friend crying... she nude but clad in a shadow with her head tucked towards her knees...
kureejii eshi: she says to me "i have a headache, why dont we stop for now" as she crawls towards me
kureejii eshi: and then i wake up
