woke to the sound of plastic crunching near me, Its him again, i stumbled across my bed to my desk, the box full of wrapped candy seemed like the most logica source of sounds, i grabbed the box and it immediately felt heavier than what should be left over candy. mili seconds later, a gray mice jumped out and drifted to the nearest desktop clutter...

after picking up milk and towel at pathmart at 2am, i returned home began unload my purchase. as I reached to turn off the kitchen lights. i hear a squeak, unsure of the sounds origins, i pause and listened, 30 seconds later, i hear another faint squeak, it must be his brother. I focused my attention near the countertops. Another minute passes, i hear it again, this time louder, it must be coming from under stove, that's a perfect spot to hide. just tall enough to for an mice to squeeze through, but not really open enough to insert any brooms or sticks to cause any trouble. It must feel like a refuge camp down there, full of rustic stockpile of kitchen gunk. I duck at the source of my fustration. and try to find the little guy thats begging for my attention. 'AH so dark.. can't see anything"

I got up, and noticed there was a sticky mouse trap sticking out near the feet of the stove, It must have been left there for ages by mom, i figure its time to toss this useless solution. I proceed to yank it from the bottom of the stove corner only to find that it is stuck, ahhh must have gotten it self glued to the stove when mom put it in there. I tried again, and slide it out from the otherside of the stove. There i see the little gray mice laying helplessly on the gooy surface of the tray. It's squeaks again and seem to let out the last breath air through its lungs. After staring at it for a minute, I poked him with a piece of paper. Hmmm i guess i must have pulled him against the stove too hard. I turned off the lights and went upstairs to my bedroom..

inception?

i dugg up an old draft entry which i never finished writing, I realized that the reason i never finished it is because it is impossible to write about inception with a rational breakdown. Given its complex plot and subplots, i became lost in my own words.

After finishing up freelance at 1stavemachine. I managed to find some downtime to watch the much talked about movie Inception by christopher Nolan, I picked a local theater in the bronx, where surprisingly, was offering reduced movie tickets every thursday. Not a bad way to spend 6 bucks on a thursday afternoon on a well known british director. Christopher Nolan is an interesting director. And I liked very much his previous effort "the dark knight". He seem to have a knack for offering insight to the unfamiliar and the strange. A good selling point for most people since it can offer some distraction to the mundane. I was interested in the emotional dynamics in his movies, and the dark knight had plenty of it. When you begin to understand and identify the logic behind the joker by his own words, I think as a director, you begin to hit a sweet spot in story telling. There is much to be said about the his version of batman, as it works on so many levels that reflects the conflict of our current society. A society that produces illogical individuals that dwells on the statistical nature of chaos. Masochistic individuals with an obsession of delivering justice. All characters with a dual purpose that answers the question of why. If the dark knight is an exercise in explaining the explicable. Then Inception is the scrambling of the answer in which we seek. Inception attempts to cascade our existence in to multiple versions of cohesive worlds. Each worlds with the same possibilities and outcome. Which for me was the heart of the movie. Inceptions idea of a dreamstate within a dreamstate is the question that I do not care to answer for. Inceptions dreamstate within a dreamstate is not a compelling place to be..."
