RAINSEXYWRITING: Review of, "Une Femme est une Femme" by Jean-Luc Godard.
Godard.
The naive approach.
χάος.
What is it to challenge another's narrative?
It's making love to their consciousness. It's reminding them of their childhood.
Do you remember those sunsets beside the trampoline?
I remember carrying you out to mine and making out with you. They meant more to me than any living thing
on...
I am lost; and the world.
--Kai.

Kai's Celestial Journey To Become a Master of Tantra.
I'm listening to OK Computer right now. It's not my favorite Radiohead record but it's not my least favorite.
I made a Tantric oil last night. It was made of less than equal parts of squeezed orange juice and Olive oil. I later added coconut oil. It was invigorating. I'm hoping to make my cock bigger. NOT THAT I NEED IT OR ANYTHING WHAT NO WAIT COME BACK. I was always skeptical of quelquing. I think it's working though. There something higher than that though. I need to breathe more. Just one conscious breathe. That's all that it. It's all about consciousness. Consciousness as a verb; a happening. That and Love. I need Love. Is it selfish to ask for?
Who is thinking my thoughts?
Arctic sheets and fields of wheat.
Swing the bat.
I recall watching FLCL at Evyn's house. Haruko is coaching Takun. She says,
"All you need to do is swing the bat."
There's something so beautiful going on. Something new but something perennial too. I miss her but I've got to get passed that to get at her again. I've got to get way passed it. I have so much catching up to do and I'm not all that graceful of a runner. I have endurance though. I've been through the worst. I hope anyway. It's spring now. It's time to start caring. Time to start applying our full integrity and consciousness to this life we've been tasked with living.
You mark my words I'm going to get my fucking Grade 10.

Kai's Log. Volume 1)
The last few weeks have been exciting.
I took acid at the Color festival. It was such a rewarding thing. I didn't expect it to do much. I'm wowed.
I really need to get laid. I'm ravenous. I can't go out without having an anxiety about the whole thing. It's got me motivated to work out though. Eh. I ought not worry about that kind of thing but it gets to me. Maybe I should get a girlfriend. I'd dig a cute little hipster chick from Salt Lake. God, I hope she doesn't get married. I'll have to fucking kill her. I really don't want that. It might be easier that way though. I thought I'd meet someone at the show. Maybe I had. All in good time. Becoming a part of a social consciousness takes time. I'm glad to be moving forward.
The Torro exhibit at Urban Arts Gallery was moving. The combination of my post-Friday night self and a tastefully small amount of cannabis lent itself to a emotionally powerful experience. I cried. I wish I would have just starting balling in front of the clerk. I should have. I made a commitment to being sincere. I need to be more sincere. Previously, I had spent an hour or so reading philosophy at Barnes and Noble. Rumi and Alan Watts give me strength. Heidegger's a cool cat. I don't know where I currently stand. I think I'm moving up a stage. It was easy to just chalk everything up some postmodern ambiguity but it's more than that. I can feel it. The contemporary human soul is at the center of something very big and very powerful. I don't know what yet.
I read the Kama Sutra while I was there too. It was enlightening but I have to say is kind of a drag. I think I've felt that pain that women feel every day. That feeling of inadequacy. That fear like you're always going to be a let down to your future partner. That you'll never fulfill that Platonic beauty that lives in your soul. It's fucking dreadful. I'm way passed the suicide thing but that could easily do it. Maybe I'm not passed the suicide thing.
That previous night, A Marine expressed that I shouldn't wear my M65 parka in public because I'm not a soldier. To that guy, on the off chance that you read this: You're a fucking murderer and an invalid, castrated idiot. You haven't served anything of value or integrity. I'm sure your mom is real proud of you though. Big boy joined the Army after high school. Well done; fucking baby-killing asshole. Peace in the Middle East.
Evan was an interesting character. He had taste. I admire that. He had the most robust collection of anime torrents that I've personally come across. We watched, "For a Few Dollars More" late friday evening after vodka and a few bowls of Cannabis. It made me want to buy a pistol. Conflict is easy to manage in that universe. Maybe I should meet reality half-way and buy some mace or something. I don't want to kill anyone. I'd just like an equalizer. Eh, I can fight anyway. Being a young man is fucking violent. You're either putting yourself out there in an explicit way and risking conflict or raping yourself by not. The former is better as far as I have found.
It was nice seeing Lacie and Tyler. I think there meant for each other. Nate's grown up. It's remarkable.
I have a show on Thursday at The Pool Hall in Pleasant Grove. I'm excited. I have to figure out everything tomorrow.

Kai: How to download YouTube video using VLC.
Windows 7
Hey thur. I figure this is the best way to do this.
GUI Version (Windows)
Click Media > Convert/Save
Click Network
Type in URL of YouTube video.
command line
Start > Run...
type, "cmd" and press enter/ok
if vlc is already added to PATH then skip the next step
type, "PATH="%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN"" into the command line. This is important as it enables cmd.exe to be able to use vlc without vlc.exe being in the present directory. It's also possible to change the PATH variable by right clicking Computer > Properties > Advanced system settings.
It should be noted that the exact location of vlc.exe might vary from system to system. This is where it will be located in 64-bit Windows 7. In other versions of Windows it might just been in Program Files without the, "x86" part. It is also possible to have a 64-bit version of VLC that will reside in the standard Program Files folder in (64-bit) Windows 7. As long as VLC is installed on your computer, it shouldn't be that difficult to locate but you may have to change the command accordingly to what it is on your computer.
Navigate to the folder that you would like keep the your YouTube movie in and type,
"vlc -vvv http://youtube.com/someyoutubevideoe3f3fvcv3r --sout file/ogg:example.ogg"
That will create an ogg file called, "example.ogg" that is the YouTube video. Yeah.
VideoLAN/VLC 64-Bit Version (Windows. Archived version.):
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win64/vlc-2.1.2-win64.7z
Cygwin for all your mafk' command line needs :3
