no (way)

the way we were
the way we are

...the certainties of common sense and natural attitude to things... being the presupposed basis of any thought, they are taken for granted, and go unnoticed, and because in order to arouse them and bring them to view, we have to suspend for a moment our recognition of them.... M. Ponty.

the essence of (your) conscious


currently reading Merleau-Ponty

Reflection does not withdraw from the world towards the unity of consciousness as the world's basis;
it steps back to watch the forms of transcendence fly up like

sparks from a fire;....

je ne peux pas dormir.

black and blue partout


















*Although this picture doesn't do it much justice and was taken before it fully blossomed, but just look how happy I am!

After much thought, writing, dreaming, gathering inspiration and babbling about
the significance of a black eye (for over a week)
--it's visual appeal and stigma--

...plus, this whole Temporary thing you may have noticed I am thinking a lot about recently...

Ladies and Gents,
I have tapped into my masochistic side.

I decided that it was a great idea to use my body as an art piece. A sort of painting per se.
MON VISAGE
as the canvas, yeah??
*(refer to Marina Abramovic's Rhythm performances)


I spent all night giving my eye repeated attention
and now

I shall make love to my black eye and wear it not like a scarlet letter, but like a
golden prize.

My friend Airon recorded some of the performance on my shitty sony camera
which I shall upload very soon.

sweet dreams,

Lola

intellectual intercourse











I don't see a shield


Nan Goldin Nan one month after being battered 1984







1. a swollen bruise caused by a blow to the eye
2. a bad reputation
3. an unfortunate happening that hinders or impedes; something that is thwarting or frustrating
4. a material i've never used before.
5. my fist, the force
6. punch, repeat
7. translucency, opacity, transparency
8. the temporary
9. bruised birthday

DeerWolf, not to be confused for (Deerhoof or Deerhunter)
is an up and coming band who are "un-categorizable" but said to be "pretty influential."
Not much is known about this band yet aside from the fact that it is a pseudo-side project for

The sound is difficult to pinpoint but gathers inspiration from
American/ Soul/ Rock and Roll/Gospel folk + a little Ziggy Stardust.

They are currently traveling and recording a demo as they
make their way in a tour van through Atlanta, GA onwards towards SXSW.

keep an eye out, more updates soon.
