Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.

Tape Generations, a video project by Johan Rijpma
… I worked on this project for about 6 months. I tried many different compositions and then made a selection. A single composition could take more than 12 hours to develop/breakdown. (the spinning of the plate was done by hand, turnin the plate about 0,4 degree’s every 30 seconds, this meant i was standing in the wind and the rain for hours watching the tape “grow” and watching the sun come up/go down)
Too much consistency is as bad for the mind as it is for the body. Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are the dead.

Practical Wing Chun Siu Lim Tao 4/6
I just graduated my 4th part of Practical Wing Chun’s first form, Siu Lim Tao. Every graduation for me has been a great achievement in terms of recognizing the progress I’ve made through working with my skills. It’s sometimes very hard (if not impossible) to observe your own progress and development when you yourself are in the middle of the process. That’s why these papers, even though just papers, are for me worth a big deal.
I’d like to thank my Sifu Veka Rounevaara for having the patience to teach this unbelievable art to me and specially Sigung Wan Kam Leung for developing this system for people to learn.
I Bring A Life Of That… To An End
I want to say so much,
but sometimes words aren’t enough,
sometimes our tongues can’t dance or tap
a rhythm that can express all that’s within them
for at times, in a word can live
not just a thought, but a metropolis
and if not magnified, they’re dismissed
as just vowels grouped with consanants,
But..
I’m not a simple person, but I don’t think anyone is,
an ant constructs a labyrinth without ever really knowing it,
and a spider forgets it’s artistry, and it’s the one who’s sewing it
So here’s to not knowing the supposed growing vastness
and being one of many ants, victim of death and taxes,
and to the tapestry likely sewn due to all of the actions
of us people, and being fine without some purposes to back them
See, I feel cursed at times,
cursed as the disconnected,
it’s as if, to my own life, I must remain objective
Like every frame, of every second, dancing across my eyes
are just that, a show, and to my soul they’re merely televised
And I’m stuck in this theater of the senses and cognition
forced to view this life pass, like a projector full of pictures
I want to fall in love, feel some connection with another soul
but maybe in another life, I think, if ever at all
There’s so much shame involved in everything I’ve done
they say mistakes make you who you are, but, I liked who I was
So here’s to the future, and here’s to you
maybe you can learn from what I’ve done in this pathetic human suit
But, maybe, with a chance,
We’ll begin again

Molotov Cocktail, a project by Sachin Teng
Molotov Cocktail – Simple & Destructive, a project by artist Sachin Teng is absolutely stunning both in idea and rhythm dynamics. Check it out here.
If parents really love children they will help them to be courageous — even courageous against themselves. They will help them to be courageous against teachers, against society, against anybody who is going to destroy their individuality.

Still in Thailand for a week.
I’m sorry for all the non-blogging for the past 3 weeks but I’ve been off to Thailand for the past time. Still here for a week and then heading back to Finland to enjoy the rest of the summer.
I’ve been to Thailand for three times now and the beauty of this land and the amazing attitude of the local people always strikes me. I’m currently at Ao Nang beach in Krabi, Suratthani and arrived here from Koh Phangan three days ago. I will now depart from my friend for 3 days and head back to Bangkok today to do some shopping and get more experiences for the rest of the vacation.
Cheers!
