It's an adventure, Charlie!

A day like last Friday was probably just about the worst day a group of people could pick to visit a library, especially because of the fact that I'm going to a library isn't the most comforting thought to enter my head. Aside from that, it was raining, even worse, it was cold. Helen, Dino, Noel, Nick, Jorge and I traveled there with little trouble, except for the maze-like turns that presented itself on the block of the library. I found this to be quite enjoyable, actually.


Once there I found myself sort of lost as to the objective at hand. We made attempts to use the Library computadora which all proved to be inferior to the fact that we should explore on our own. The library was pretty bland except for the occasional piece of art that hung in random corners. One of the sections I found interesting was the music section which had various song books. I took a picture to commemorate this experience.


Once we had enough of wandering we decided to consult an actual map. The 3rd floor seemed to be the most interesting because it was filled with information on film, I think it was named the "video" section. There was a plethora of various historical events in film from newspapers as well as books. Most of it was interesting, I actually wouldn't mind going back there if I had some research to do for a project.

So, with that I shall depart with a video from which inspiration was spurred for my title. The ending will make you grin, I guarantee it.

"Randomness is very hard to achieve.

Organization always murders back if you don't pay attention.

-Death to Organization."

This quote is from one of my favorite movies, The Science of Sleep. In this story of a dreamland, Stéphane battles with his ability to distinguish reality from his hallucinations. Written as well as directed by Michel Gondry, this film is a vision of fantastical normalcy. A true original of his craft, Gondry's manipulation of mise en scène which translates from French to be "putting on stage" is beautifully constructed with randomness well accomplished.

This particular movie struck my fancy to write about because recently I've been studying my dreams in an attempt to better understand myself. There are so many things hidden within our subconscious that go ignored, just to be left building inside us. I don't want to keep anything hidden in my dreams. It's actually helped me discover a lot of things that hold particular plagues and has helped eradicate them through expression. Yes, very vague, I know. I guess you wouldn't know unless you try it.

This movie is definitely worth watching to those of you who don't require blood, guts or explicit sex to carry on interest...even though that's fun sometimes. =}
