so what happens if he isn't ok and doesn't make it through? I cannot even begin to think of how this can be dealt with, and I don't want to believe for a second that my life could change in such a manner so quickly. Joe is the person responsible for the greatest part of my life, that is drumming, and for giving me countless nicknames while I used to work for him, and for giving my dad someplace where he could go and feel like a kid again, just laughing and enjoying himself (most of the time). He is scared right now, and all I know is that having no control over certain things is so empty...
Outside of this specific situation, I wouldn't change a thing...
It's funny how silence speaks sometimes when you're alone, and remember that you feel...
My new studio project is that I have to design a wall separating haptic from optic (the two terms I chose from a list of several). Haptic is the sense of touch, and optic is the sense of sight, and this project becomes difficult in that it has no constraits, meaning that there are an infinite number of solutions. This wall can be anything, and exist in any environment, other than the fact that earth's rules (ie gravity)must apply. This has led me to spend 5 hours thinking of what a wall really is, and upon doing so, I discovered that typically, a wall is defined as a boundary between two things it intends to separate. Fair enough, so that basically, it is a vertical division between two sides that keeps them apart. What if, instead of it having to be like this, the wall separated haptic from optic while at the same time containing them both? The environment becomes neutral in a sense, as the wall is a living thing that becomes a cyclic contradication that is not unlike a mobius strip (a mobius strip can be made as such: take a flat strip of paper and twist it once and then bend it into a circle so that the ends meet. If you try and trace one surface, whether inner or outer, you will notice that they become one another as you travel along the strip). I have no idea yet how I am going to allow this idea to physically manifest itself, but I know that I have a few criteria I would like to contrast with an analytical series of diagrams that might allow me to understand what this wall is going to become.
I included this because it has been the entirety of my last two days, and is the thing keeping my mind from what might prove unsettling and overall hollow...
maybe tomorrow then...
