ypsilanti's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the spiders dude is often there a few days ago i was walking home and these two boys, probably about five or six, seven at the oldest were playing and yelling outside. they each held two plastic lightsabers and were shouting and making sound effects with their mouths, playing star wars, talking about killing the real Darth Maall (sic?), immersed in imagination and their own play believe world. i walked by and without even thinking about it or realizing it, there was a split fraction of a second when i felt and understood how i used to feel when i was five years old, playing star wars (not playing "Episode One" or whatever, but running around with a lightsaber none the less).. it was amazing and gone from my concsiousness before i could even really catch it. it wasn't that long ago, and never really will be. i felt something similar but way more focused and less ramshackleing today when i went and saw the new film Spider Man. having spent all the time in the world as a child completely obsessed with spiderman cartoons, comics, ideas, ideals, everything.. it was strange to have a film surpass nostalgia and become some sort of history. really new and totally a part of my past life. and a fucking brilliant movie, too! i give it all my stars. tonight i have to finish the artwork and the everything for a solo 7". the songs are called "My small heart" and "Detroit Zoo", for a label in columbus who's doing a solo series. it sounds like it's gonna be really cool. tony cavallerio from ALOHA is gonna do one too, and of course G-J jumped on the fucking band wagon. but maybe it'll still be good. 6:38 p.m. - 5.6.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
