I ❤don’t need to be convinced, but I enjoy the attempt, er, reinforcement.
Descending into Atlanta is a very natural feeling. Trust me.

Should have listened -posted from cottage by the creek where I'm still depressed

I am currently 18, but have been a runaway since I got my license at 16. I was homeless and living out of my car for the last two years, aimlessly traveling the US whilst living off my considerable savings and completing my highschool Diploma online. I woke up one morning on the bank of lake Pontchartrain, watching the silhouette of some dead tree streak across the increasingly blue daybreak. I was 17 then, and i realized that morning that my high school peers woke up looking at ceiling fans. I will never regret this life, I never have. This video resonated with me in such a profound way.
shared dis wit da homies
I was skeptical or never founded a good moment to watch 2001 space odyssey for the last 10+years i hugely enjoy Kubrick's films but i never knew how to approach 2001, probably most unreal experince finally getting to see it, i feel likd putting it off and finding a perfect timing for it payed of but thats because this is timeless classic movie that will stand in time for centuries, every single frame is a master piece, i just wish to knew how people felt watching this in 68, not to diffrently from me probably
Watched this for the first time after that video by Horses dismissed it by name. I can't say why that video made me feel unplaceably icky, but this video felt remarkably healing after watching it. Perhaps it's that both videos essentially agree on almost everything, but the Horses video ends on a question this video has at least some kind of answer to. Less cynicism is nice I guess, I've had quite enough of stemming from myself without a video essay to grind me once more back into the dirt. I especially related to coming back to my own creative works after burn out followed by a long break. It was strange seeing my art with the eyes of someone who wasn't predisposed to hating it. I could still see all of the mistakes, but I could see how good it was too.
You brits are something else. Somehow, yall manage to be, simultaneously, contemptuous and irrelevant.
Imitation is inevitable. Everything is based off of everything
I'll be 56 this year. After watching this video I bought the movie.... Great flick. Everything is just spot on. I didn't think a kid's flick could tackle such dark subjects without being sappy, which it doesn't even attempt to do. Instead it makes fun of its own sappiness, which, strangely enough, adds to its depth. Definitely worth the watch.
Personally I wanna make a village with the homies, at a distance that society is still easy to reach. Far enough that it’s cottage core, close enough that I could make my way to a grocery store.
This might’ve watched this video about 30 times. Your philosophy is very soothing. Thank you!! I look forward to your video’s.
The answer is Big Butts in The Hood. There. I fixed the thumbnail.
I think you were thinking about nature as an escape, but you're still you going out there. When Thoreau went out into the woods, he gave himself a purpose and actually lived off the land. He farmed, fished, and I think he even built the cabin he lived in. You went out to do a hike and all you seemed to do was complain about the situation you had put yourself in. Maybe you're a masochist?
You should write a book about that nasty couple. It worked for Roald Dahl.
Nothing permanent.
thank you for this video, and describing the beautiful humility of language learning that made me start my own journey :)
It must take a lot of flower bulbs to spell out 'centipede dong'. 🤔
I feel so lucky to have such an appreciation for the beauty of this movie at such a young age. Still deciding if it's my favorite movie, but I know for sure it's the best movie.
This is my favorite video on KZread.
I'd have to agree wholeheartedly. Some of the best editorials and commentaries have arisen from this film more than fifty years after it was initially released.
This video is epic. Thanks for sharing the journey so introspectively. Also, you seem to be a good writer now. The structure and unfolding of this story were very well done and your poems of insight were relevant and impactful. Keep on truckin man.
I just watched it and figured maybe it was some kind of visual showcase for its time. There were cool parts but i don't see the need to revisit it. Tbh, i want a three hour montage of the early humans learning tools, building fire etc.
In my eyes you have made many beautiful things :)
2:26 i’m 20. i had to read _into the wild_ a couple years ago in highschool and ⋯ yeah i hated it so much i assume you’ll get into it but it’s SO BAD I HATE IT
Thanks for the video and the words, I eco a lot of them. As a 45 year old man who just recently discovered David Berman and who also finds himself in a strange and dimly lit place, I have been seeking out all things Berman lately. Being a musician and music lover, I am not sure how I missed this extraordinary body or work until now. I have not in my life, until now, loved an album as much as I do "Purple Mountains" and yet, I can hardly even listen to it. I could speculate as to why, but I'm not sure I would ever really put my finger on one reason. It breaks my heart over and over but I have never felt anything so real.
Bro just wrote the exact book he needed to write but in youtube form
it brought me an unexplained amount of joy to learn that 4:17
Can confirm the book rules.
Real shit!
This. This is the beautiful thing you've made. I am totally engulfed by your story. thank you for the time you spent living and being you.
"Viddy well" LOL
Well you did it
i had the dumbest thought as you were wrapping up: “damn, this guy should be a writer”
me: make me cry exurb2a:
i think about this video weekly
I just wanted to comment on your little 8+ mini explanation on 2001. It is, in my opinion one of the best movies of all time, I did not see it in the theater, maybe because we were poor, and my family was not going to budge on a movier like that. I still kick myself when I think about the splendor of it all, I totally get it, even if people/friends scratch thier heads and go, "in a dumb guy voice"...."Huh"??? I don't care that some people don't understand Kubrick and his masterful direction, I am 64 years old, and once in a while I get out my DVD and watch, and enjoy, and amaze at how this film will be taken in the future, I am 100% convinced that some UFOs and alien beings are real, as I have had three daylight sightings and one at night, and even have a bit of the , now standard experience of a possible abductee. Thanks again for a well done video.
It is by far the greatest film ever made
It's frustrating to me that not everyone has to know this. Maybe it's because to me, life is always like living in the woods.
Sounds like the answer was a hut in the woods. Just not forever.
Enjoyed every second of this
I'm not sure whether it was intentional. You were in a writing crisis idk how many years ago, then you have written this 45 minute video. It was funny, interesting, and beautiful. Congratulations on your success in writing.
It's because of 2001 that one of the main reasons STAR WARS got made . John Dykstra was working for Douglas Trumbell on 2001 and inspired John Dykstra make the stop motion system used for the STAR WARS trilogy among other sci-fi movies .
Still in the process if finding some semblance if a self i could call mine. Walking a different path and still trying to muster the discipline to stick to an ephemeral goal. I'm comforted to the core by your content of knowing, witnessing vicariously the discrete wins of the day-to-day. IDK but more than just entertainment for an ADHD culture this content and most of yours resonates for me. Thank you.
Stfu im doing it
this exurb2a guy kinda reminds me of exurb1a
My Friend, you are an amazing writer. I genuinely love everything you have published here and I enjoyed the Ocelots, too. I take comfort in your thoughts and am grateful that I am not the only one going nuts all the time. I did a similar thing after watching "Into the Wild" in the Philippines. You are a real man in the same way he was a real man. You've got the balls to say and do it. I really appreciate everything you published and look forward to every new video. I hope you will laugh when I say that you are an inspiration to me. Thanks Mate!
This is low-key on of the best videos you've ever made... because it appeals and is relevant not just to your regular audience, but most people in general.
