i think everyone on my f'list has a song that changed the way they see the world around them. or maybe something they listen to when they need reality to make a little more sense. it really doesn't have to be a song. it could be a book or painting or play, (or even just seeing some stranger's kid jump in a rain puddle while you drink coffee across the street). the song (or story, whathaveyou), translates for us some small sliver of unmitigated truth through the beige static of living. and the impact is something lasting. we take it with us and use it to help frame our experiences going forward.

i think it's just that kind of impact that effected this shot. i'm not sure it really translates on film though. and when i try to explain it, it always comes out trite and woefully incomplete.

last thing, it would be fantastic if we could get an accurate delegate count for the democrat's primary. i'm pulling for obama because i think he's unbeatable against mccain. i don't care what anyone says about clinton's "machine", it's been falling pretty flat so far. also, i just like obama's politics better. OH! and romney's little "vote for a democrat = vote for terrorism" speech at cpac was total bullshit. i wanted to punch my tv. it's like they can't give a logical arguement for half of their issues, so they have to revert to strawmen and ad hominem attacks. then again, i guess that's par for the course. whatever. i'll update later about my voting-on-super-tuesday-drama.
