Damn it’s been a while again ! Somehow I feel absolutely fine about it, though I tried to post a few times in the past month, but just couldn’t find the time to properly sit and write some more nonsense on these deserted pages. Anyway, i’m not one to aim for quantity but quality, as much as I can, and so my silence in here is only equal to the amount of time I spent behind my pen and paper first, behind my mic then and behind my animation screen next, trying to put together the music video for Original Fools‘ Sick & Tired massive track.
In fact, lot of things are happening right now. 2012 is going to be a mad year, everywhere, for everyone and about everything. I’ve been witnessing a lot of changes indeed. People finally trying to change their life, and not only trying but actually doing it, unlike the past decennia/century/millennium. Whether be it a new job, a new out-of-business attitude, a new city, a new relationship, a new ruler, a new state of mind, even a new parting ways though it seemed nothing could ever alter its course ( one could type online “I <3 DMKRCY 4EVER“) …. It might not be the famed ‘shift of consciousness’ loads of ignorant believers are hoping for in these times of 2012 madness, but this might just be a prelude to something. Because in the end what matters isn’t the object of the change but rather the change itself, this flow of energy set in motion and creating things, whatever they might be. I know this is a popular proverb that one needs to ‘be the change [one] wanna see in the world‘, but the simpleness of that saying doesn’t forbid its veracity. If there’s one thing i’ve learnt in all my years wasted in philosophy, that’s the hints of truth hidden deep inside every common quotes, every cultural expressions that defines a fact or a popular belief/statement – and usually forgotten and eluded due to a dirty popularization of those same sayings. But what if it weren’t any harder than that to change the world ? What if the humble infinitesimal change one can bring to his own existence could be the most necessary thing to do ? Once again, if we’re all in it together, changing little pieces of the world at the same time, well… There’s billions of humans (and still counting !) so this could provoke a massive switch on a planetary level. And, finally, a shift of consciousness – now you’re smiling lightly, i know, half skeptical half satisfied and fully aware.
Trust me, I know words like ‘planetary’ or ‘consciousness’ or ‘awareness’ or even ‘philosophy’ are usually enemies of the fun and the hype and the usual Facebook or Twitter status – unless you’re one of those poor beings desperately holding to a ‘cool new-age attitude’, hoping to make the front page of your favorite people magazines. That said, I know most of you (those who started reading these lines by accident) probably left already past this point, if you ever reached it. And you’re right. I mean it’s your right to be wrong. As it’s my right to think you’re wrong, and vice-versa. Vive le freedom ! Those of you still bearing with me though, you are the ones that matter. You are the ones who will bring the change and the magic/horror of the mayan 2012. You and me are not chosen ones. We’re not on a holy mission. Nobody gives a shit about us in the cosmic out-there surrounding our piece of land but us, humans. Or maybe there is, but then again, they’re probably busy dealing with their own shit that goes way beyond our ability to comprehend. Anyway, let’s face it, we’re not the biggest army on the field. We’re not the headlines of the evening news. But be warned ! We’re the living organ, we’re the breathing sound, we’re the synapses enabling the flow of energy. Because don’t be fool as to think a few people cannot change everything. One look throughout history will prove to you that, in fact, it always happened that way. Back to David and Goliath, and probably before that. So in 2012, i chose my side. I stand amongst those few ones, not for the glory of it – because there’s none, obviously, the spotlights and the money and the luscious parties are on the other side, i can see them from here -; not even to satisfy a troublesome ego i keep pushing further as much as i can, though i can deny it’s influence, from an artistic point of view to start with. No. I chose to be part of the change for the need i feel to do something, to stop waiting for someone else to do something for me, and mainly, to be positive. No matter what. And here is another ‘evil‘ cliché, an ‘image d’Epinal‘ – as no french people says nowadays because they all forgot the wealth of their own language, damn frogs ! ^^ On a serious note, the sad reality is how overrated and mocked and pointed at is to be positive, so much that almost nobody is trying to anymore. Being a troll, dissing everything and everybody is much more fun and hype and trendy. It’s cool to hate – the climax being the coolness of hating those who hate, in a perfect soothing loop. Or so I see and understand when I lose myself on FB, or Youtube, or any of those places where humans gather to take a piss at each others and post their stupidity with the pride of Genghis Khan. Which is fine, of course. Once again, freedom and respect means accepting to see people taking a step into the abyss of commonness and boredom they dug for themselves. On the other hand, they should accept that some people are trying to get the world to tilt on a different direction, whether they like it or not. Say… toward a positive direction. That’s only fair play, innit ? You too can and should choose your side, take your part in this whole comedy.
So in 2012, Didjelirium is more than ever a ‘Soldier of Positivity‘, which is a concept I still hold close to my eyes when i’m evaluating my own growth. Being negative and suffering is the easiest natural human way to be. Being happy and positive takes some strength. For a whole lot of reasons, even the simplest ones : for tears fall but a smile aims up high. For eyes easily glance down but it takes some nerves to look up. For the fight is never over and we must never give up. I’m not ego-centered and self-interested enough to think I can change the world by myself, but I do know I’ll play my part and I know for a fact quite a few people around the globe are assuming theirs as well. I thank them all. I thank those I feel so close to – like made-from-the-same-mold close to – wherever they are right now. The magic of internet is that frontiers and distance are annihilated so easily, thus enabling those energies to flow all over the place in a blink of a soul. All over Earth, at this very moment, some of us decided that the world as we know can’t keep on going as it is, this whole birth –> growth –> job –> money –> marriage –> children –> death without ever thinking that there could be more to this than a pure reproductive function. Simply said, it’s not because it always been like this that it has to stay that way forever. Let’s break the chain, let’s get back to the 100% use of our brain we lost many reincarnations ago. Let’s be aware, let’s feel each other – i don’t mean necessarily in a sexual way, but that works as well as an entry-level awareness – let’s remember what we’ve always known and forgotten before we were born. You can do it, i know i can and several out there are doing it right now. That mere fact fills me up with even more positivity. The exponentiality of flowing energies, that can never be stopped once triggered. Yet, sad negative auto-punishing minds can be, anytime. All it takes is the will to change. And to change. Simply. It sounds like an evidence ? Good. But ask yourself if you’re actually doing it. No shame in acknowledging, for humans, simplicity is the hardest thing to achieve.
Thus I’m here – well, not much on these pages as you can see – but everywhere else. The music video for Original Fools is my main project I’ finalizing right now. The documentary about the Uprooted Sunshine‘s musical trip to Almaty, Kazakhstan is finally done and ready to be aired for a music festival coming soon in Shanghai, before reaching the web realm. Schizocèle, my french rap album, is getting released digitally next month (and I shall tell you more about this nonsense too !). I have several collaborations to record and push forward, with folks from around town and more around the world, mainly amongst the really supportive Soundcloud community – and I’m not just saying that cos I’m witnessing a ‘followers‘ boom on my page, stop trolling ! :p Last but not least, Original Fools is shining brighter than ever and tracks keep piling up like dirt in a gold mining contest. Hopefully some live gigs will take place later this year. We push we push we push and won’t be stopping anytime soon ! I know I’m lucky I somehow came across Damscray – one more example of this same-mold same-shit i was mentioning earlier. Liar too, who touches me in places no human ever did before through wise use of vibrations. I could name a few more here, to flatter some ego and cause some more division/speechlessness out there, but I have interest in none. As a popular word of wisdom also claims : “Those who matter don’t mind and those who mind don’t matter“. Think about the underlaying implications…
Meanwhile, because you courageously reached the end of that post – unless you cheated ! :p – here are a few treats for you to discover, or re-discover and share with those you love, those you hate but wish you loved, or vice-versa, and all the others busy being themselves. Lyrics are included in each track description, if you feel like getting a bit deeper in the whole meaning.
I won’t be posting anytime soon. I said it. Which will help you not to get mad at the lack of new posts here and, also, allow a nice and pleasing surprise when you will realize that this initial statement is an obvious lie. You’ll never know. Neither will I. Until we do it. So let’s do it !
Bless y’all ma fools and keep spreading the mad words you can find HERE !
