i dont get much of a chance to buy records all that often. But my mum gave me an Eric Sati retrospective for my 15th birthday and i listen to that alot. Friends of mine by The Zombies is the best pop song ive ever heard unless I count the themetune to Faulty Towers. Most music I hear on the radio just sounds like bad versions of pachelbel.
Well, I was lying in bed slowly coming out of sleeping, and this voice in my head told me to go back in; to not quite wake up yet, but just to stay in that in-between place. So I did. I slipped back down and stayed in the halfway point. Then I was standing on the ocean. I saw a blur come around, from my right side to my left. It was a hand putting something next to me. When I looked closer I saw that what the hand had put there was a little SEA TURTLE. I looked up to see who had put it there, and there was this MULATTO BOY looking at me, smiling. I picked up the sea turtle and put in my hand and it turned into a BUTTERFLY. And then it turned into a BLACK SPIDER. It kept turning into a butterfly, a spider, a butterfly, a spider. It would pulsate between the two. I put my hands around it to grasp it and blood ran out of my hands and fell into the sand. Then as I let go of it, the blood rose up from the sand and turned again into the butterfly/spider. It hovered about a foot above my hand, and turned into a little ball of light. So that whole sequence repeated two or three times: it would land back in my hand, turn into a creature, and when I tried to hold it, it would crush again into blood, and when I would let go the blood would rise back up and turn into a BALL OF LIGHT.
I pretty much understood it right away. The butterfly and the spider represented two opposing sides: all the things that I love and consider to be beautiful and gentle and wonderful, and all the things that threaten me... the things about life that I can't come to terms with because they don't fit into my nice, happy picture of the way I want the world to be. It kept morphing back and forth to show me that they're both one and the same; they're dependent on one another to exist. When I tried to grasp at either what I love or what I hate, I destroyed the very ability of being able to really penetrate the essence of either. By trying to understand it, I would just crush it. But when I let go and let it be what it was, it would turn into light to show me that both sides come from the same source. I think the vision was trying to tell me to just LIVE AND BE JOYFUL AND STOP CREATING THESE INTERNAL WARS OVER ALL THE PAIN THAT IS WITHIN MYSELF AND THAT ALL I SEE ALL AROUND ME.

Do you think you could do me a favor? My friend Brian has entered a competition on MySpace for his short film. Its about a kid whose parents are in the porn industry. Its hilarious. It would mean a ton to mean if you checked out the movie and gave it a thumbs up booyah in the box below the video.
