I found this man to be a kindred spirit - colorful and poetic vocabulary, horny for architecture, in community w inanimate objects. He appears somewhat fearless tho he reveals moments of puniness. A cruise of a movie and I enjoyed the ride, tho it started to drag and I saw a few roadside exit signs that would have been sufficient.

I didn’t find it an appropriate companion piece to the first two shorts, I’m having some trouble understanding them in conversation w one another as intended.

“I am cruising, currently, right now! I am cruising because I have dedicated myself to all that is creative and destructive in my life right now, and I am equally in love with every aspect of my life, and all the ingredients that have caused me turmoil and all the ingredients that have caused me glory. I am the living, whispered warning in the Roman general's ear, 'Glory is fleeting', and in that verb - that active verb 'fleeting' - there I live, there I reside, in this moment. I have dedicated myself to the idiom, 'I don't know.' And I am in love with the frantic chaos of this limitless universe.”

so much fun! I think I’ve just witnessed the most quotable movie in the history of films!! Such a stream of consciousness quality about this whole thing! The guy’s right about literally everything in life. Civilisation is the molestation of everything. The anti-cruise is an attempt to imprison us. Josh’s narcissism is indeed mediocre. An orgy does involve everyone in the room, not just four out of five people. I hope Timothy’s having a good day today.
