the rhythm, the rhythm




well this is the second time i am doing this that timeout thing is a pain, i even remembered to copy it but i screwed that up so i hope that i get this out. the rhythmic exercise was one i really wanted to get into and my first inspiration was maya daren and i thought about stairs and the first thing that popped into my head was Bear Hall. Graphically i had to show the back stairs, it is escape and reentry. it is also more pleasant to the eye than the interior of Bear Hall. even though jon is outside it is a beautiful day outside and he is attempting to gain entrance into a more restrictive atmosphere. it is viewed as a religion inside of these double shuttered rooms. Bear is important you must be there to make cinema magic. if you dont have a swipe access to be here 24/7 you need to recognize. my buddy falussy, the other half of J Squared, put it out there with his incredible acting skills he over did the emotion of failed access (even resorting to trying credit cards) failed access when a project is due it is no kind of fun. and leads to frantic cell phone calls on a late Sunday afternoon. Bear Hall also shows us the right way to respect and enshrine the Late Fifties shine of pale yellow paint (or is it white?) of cinder block walls. you can rise up in this inner sanctum, a big shot with a swipe card. Nothing stops you... you are focused. You packed a lunch when you take a break. You have accepted the fact that possibly a beautiful day will be wasted inside of a building of which a color i cannot remember. Jon really gave his all he threw his hat for what seemed like a mile...in both takes. i used a couple of "fight club" cuts in which he can get in. i believe in success...real and imaginary. i hope when you die trying to achieve your goals and the brain still lives for that small amount of time before the lights go out eternally ... that you don't waste it on reflection... but choose to use imagination and live on. The other halls dont have the same reverance as Bear does, i would vote for it to be the coolest named hall on campus. Leutze is kind of weird to me, as is Morton...but the Bear it is strong. you must be here to understand. Dont leave this institution without completely potentially wasting a beautiful day on the flickering fading visions of outdated monitors and testy macintoshes. someday you will reflect on these days. So we had to exhibit both (symbolically at least) of : being at the "Bear" and experiencing its wonders, or you are physically and mentally "locked out" of the activities that reside in the Bear. i will leave you with this thought...It is Ursa Major and Minor...it is inevitable...You are the Bear
