I am trying to arrange my thoughts into two posts. One deals with a seventies gospel singer, a new film, and an application. The other with star trails… TubeSock is an app that lets you capture YouTube streams and convert them to mp3s. Its a butterfly net in the wind. When morbidly obese Gloria Spencer (5’3″ 625 LB, types 100 WPM) wails about God calling her home, she is referring to heaven. I don’t know where that is, but I do know something about streams. In the beginning of I’m Still Here, Joaquin Phoenix is shown as a boy, carefully climbing up rocks to the top of a waterfall. He takes the risk and leaps. In the end he is a chubby white failure of a man wading up river. I don’t know where he’s going, but I’m fighting that current too.
Me too, 3rdarm. We’re being blown by the wind, swept under the rocks, led out to sea.
