ok. i think i've gone off the deep end. my brain is swimming in ideas about my thesis, but none of them actually are making sense.
i was trying to come up with subject matter. and the thought process went as follows:
1-you need a statement. you need to make a statement. what are you talking about? what are you stating?
2-to make a statement is to communicate an idea. communicating ideas is what i'm talking about. i'm talking about the fact that people don't speak. they don't speak up when it matters. they don't speak up when they feel. and they don't feel.
1-are you really in the position to say whether or not people feel? or whether or not people speak?
2-no. but yes. i am. im in the position to say that conversation is dead. i'm in the position to say that i am part of a generation that doesn't get emotional about things that are real. i'm in the position to say that i am part of a generation that cries for reality tv show stars that loose a game, but scoff at homeless people they pass on the street.
1-but, are you in the position to say that the things that matter to you should matter to the whole world?
2-why certainly. it's just a matter of convincing others of the same. or having the guts to put my foot down and say "fuck you, i matter". mind over matter, my mind over your matter.
1- back to making a statement. what do you want to say?
2-i want to say that the human experience is all about how you communicate. i want to SHOW communication in process. i want to force my audience to sit down and listen for a change. i want them to realize that they've heard it all before. that nothing's new and nothing's shocking. and i want them to take comfort in the familiarity of a perfect strangers voice. i use the word voice loosely, the metaphoric "voice" that comes across in any form of expression. i want to say, "this is me, take this, and this is you, take this as well."
1-but how?
2- damn good question.
