Sorry for the pretencious title, I'm getting quite absorbed in philosophical summer-readings.
Anyway, about that big project thing, I'm thinking it over. I was planning on basically creting a virtual person using a DA account and a LJ and slowly creating a story, using only journal entries and drawings that I would have made but signed in the name of this person. Every detail, drawing and post would have some significance in the story. So along the passing months that character would evolve and stuff. Basic "coming of age" scenario.
It could be really reat, but I need to polish everything, construct a solid story that's interesting enough to keep people hooked on it for months.
I'm still trying to choose if it's going to be a he or a she.
Both have advantages and inconvenients, a he would be easier because I know how it is to grow-up as a guy and to love (or believe you love) a girl, but then that would make him too close to me, he would come out as some "the guy I always wanted to be but never could". On the other hand, making a girl would make it hard to be credible, because altough I have realised that there aren't much diferences in the psyche of a guy or a girl, the unconscious is not the same and society puts diferent pressures on women. Also, I don't know how it is to love a guy at all, so I'd have to make her gay, and then it would probably come out as some weird pervert fantasm more than anything else.
Also, this whole deal is going to ask a lot of time on my part and there would be, like, five people who would give a damn, and I'm optimist.
Personal crap:
Buying my new guitar amp tomorow, a Roland Cube 60 with pedal set, new. I'm keeping about 75% of my summer earnings for a trip I'm planning to do in two years in Latin Europe, thinking about starting it in the UK, then moving to France, Holland, Spain and ending with Italy, all in train. Next summer I'm thinking of road-tripping across the USA, low budget: Booze and Kraft Dinner, some weed. Sleeping in the car or something. We'll see.
I went to the Montreal Jazzfest, witch is as huge and awesome as always, there was this cool jazz/funk/soul band from NY called The Boom Squad playing, they literally owened the stage, specially the signer. Next was some folk playing dude from Chicago or something called Ray Lamontagne, he was completely wasted and high on shrooms but still managed to put a good show, and we finished with some old cool bluesman, he played the best version of All Along the Watchtower I've heard since Hendrix's.
I started Roleplaying a bit, and I'm already regretting it, some of my friends are really adament about it. But whatever, gotta try new things, right?
Also, I finally got aroung to playing the original Pokemon game on Gameboy Color, that thing is really addictive, but it's a damn good game, it's sad they ruined it all with the tons of byproducts.
Recently I rediscovered Mano Solo, a great french songwritter, I really recomend his song J'veux du soleil.
Whoa! Long entry!
See ya, got some jamming to do.
EDIT: HOLY SHIT I NEED TO SEE THIS!
