life is a blast when you know what you're doin...



start:

reborn: journals and notebooks, 1947-1963


finish:
blue highways
scent of desire


summer i missed you. missed you so.


sin nombre, was a film that made me cover my eyes, clinch my teeth, and wipe away some tears. throughout i could almost smell the fear and desperation in the principles. one of the silent characters that resonated most with me (aside from the trains and scenery) were the the tattoos. thier integral role of identifying gangs, despite current adherence, remain a caustic mark.
reminded me of a tattoo artist that donated time and ink to cover up old gang tattoos to retired/former members.

during a quiet moment when the removal of a tattoo signifies the resignation of the main character's past- was poignancy at its best.
