The road home…

I just got back from a weekend in Vancouver where i got a lot accomplished… except for my schoolwork… now i’m fucked

took the public transit bus to downtown…. but because it get’s in at midnight… all the buses have long stopped running….. but the 35 minute walk (while listening to music on my palm zire the whole way) gave me a lot of time to take notice of my surroundings and think about a lot of things…..

*The Scientist - Coldplay*

i want to make a film short….. (not for anything… just make it for myself)
he steps off the bus (without actually seeing him get off the bus… but standing on the street from a side view as the bus pulls away towards the spectator (although you never see all of the bus, only the wall of it)…

he starts walking… with his head down distraught… he bundles up from the cold… walking through the streets, with slurry cam and perspective shots intercuts crossfraded with clips of some events of the long day…. ie: leaving people behind, break up?, i dunno…. shots of the signed turning from temperature to the time…. looking into store windows…. noticed the people on the other side of the street as they briskly walk… noticing so many churches… dentist shops, and other quaint buildings and sights he’s never really noticed before….

eventually he gets home and it’s so good to be home…

blah blah blah lbah lbah blah blah blah blah blah~~~

but seriously… it gave me time to think about a lot of things….

moving forward….

life should be an experience….. not waiting for things to happen, but making things happen….

understanding other people is key to understanding situations…. understanding how to resolve situations…

i need to figure out what exactly i want to accomplish in the limited time i have left in this phase of life… 3 months… but do i want to accomplish in the next 7 months?

from where i started… to where i am now…. where do we go from here?

learning korean is very difficult… but i love the sound of korean….

we cannot judge people based on the culture they come from… and we can’t condemnn someone because they are from a particular culture…

culture is individual… it takes a lot to understand an individual’s culture….
however, human behaviour is not so unique… understanding is the first step….

Come up to meet you, tell you I’m sorry
You don’t know how lovely you are

I had to find you
Tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets
And nurse me your questions
Oh let’s go back to the start

Running in circles
Coming in tales
Heads are a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing
At numbers and figures
Pulling your puzzles apart

Questions of science
Science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart

Tell me you love me
Come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start

Running in circles
Chasing our tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it’s such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard

I’m going back to the start

—————————————————————————–

nobody ever ever said that things would be easy…….
but seriously…. i dont think i thought things would be quite this hard….
and damn.. things have been hard….

3 months is approaching…. after three years…. it’s finally time to part… seen through many good times and soo many bad… most things left unsaid… but some things discussed… but our time is ending… and lives part… paths diverge…. but friendship still persists…

now… i’m so fucked….
i have two assignments due in the morning… and a midterm the next day….

it’s going to be a loooong night…..
long week… long month.. long term.. long year… long life…..
