I'm part of the world's most ambitious experiment yet; a hypothesis of freedom and equality evolving day to day with millions of interchangeable variables. I've only begun to understand the phases from my own perspective and it'll take the rest of my life to wield this small parcel of knowledge from different vantage points. I pray I'm not caught in a national psychological gulf, a cultural limbo where everyone is either waiting or just not ready. If so then I'll let it be and hope my babies can see a country filled with definable directions, none close to the apathy-product that is Generation Unknown resulting from four decades of intense ideals, activity, and mind bending/expanding/shrinking drugs. The supernova that was the national character is dimming a stage now filled with conservative hawks, pussy democrats, and inactive masses. Has this new war set a fresh act in motion? I came out of my pitiful existential rut without christianity or suicide. I've found that yes, everyone is an island but beneath them flows a sea of influence and above them a sky of possibility. What we do with our pens, our hands, our guitars and drums and brushes and voices can be that one pure drop in an ocean of obscurity. We cannot come from a generation touting world wars, psychedelic revolution, civil rights, and rock 'n roll and go into the future empty handed as have the yuppies of the late 80's and 90's. Technology cannot be our new demi-god, culture must be preserved and illuminated and changed. It's hard to be brave in this new world of anonymous flight and the only way to help it is by having unprescribed fun, I've found. I'm far from starting and others are way ahead of me, so I'm taking the rest of this year to plot my escape.
