Yesterday I got stopped by a cop for going 49 in a 35 ((of course in Collegedale)). He gave me just a warning, but he gave me some other disturbing news as well: He told me that within 10 days of residency here in Tennessee you have to get a TN driver's license.

This I added on to the other statement by my regional Bank of America teller that "you really should get a Tennessee account, it would be convenient, since Washington is on another system."

But I don't want to change my license or my bank account, because that means I have to admit that I plan to be here a while, that means I have to admit that I am a resident of the state of Tennessee..

I get it fates. I know what you want me to do!! But I'm not taking your subtle hints just yet. I don't want to. The Northwest is where I will end up, I am convinced, and I pray.


make sure to love some Margot and the Nuclear So and Sos ++==

IF C.S. LEWIS WASN'T DEAD I WOULD FRENCH HIM

bear with me my dear dear friends.
CS Lewis is rocking my world today.

He is SO logical and so reason based. haha he makes my soul immensely happy. He lays no blame no guilt. He shows a Christianity that is relevant and beautiful.


READ HIS BOOK: Mere Christianity.
If you are struggling, it will give you hope. pure and simple.

"Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He had begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.." (p. 147, Mere Christianity)

The first half is, 'Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling' -- which looks as if everything depended on us and our good actions: but the second half goes on, 'For it is God who worketh in you' -- which looks as if God did everything and we nothing. (Phillipians 2:12)(p. 149)

One has a glimpse of a country where they do not talk of those things (morality, duties and rules), except perhaps as a joke. Everyone there is filled full with what we should call goodness as a mirror is filled with light. But they do not call it goodness. They do not call it anything. They are not thinking of it. They are too busy looking at the source from which it comes. But this is near the stage where the road passes over the rim of our world. No one's eyes can see very far beyond that: lots of people's eyes can see further than mine. (p. 149)

-CS Lewis

What CS Lewis does not say is this.. in Philippians 2:16 it says: so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe

warriors

Life is inevitably a box.
We are constantly boxed in my our narrow minded perspective of things.
From how we got messed up at birth to the experiences that taint and jade our perceptions how how life should be.

+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+

True there are walls. That is to keep the ones who don't long for something out. Keep the posers in their place. But what if we didn't acknowledge or believe that those wall could stop us?

//||\\//||\\//||\\//||\\//||\\//||\\//||\\//||\\//||\\//||\\//||\\

What if we see our parents as a place to jump off from? A place to stand and see things in a new landscape?

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

What if we see our past challenges as a double dare from the fates, that we will NOT let this make us who we are?

.:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:..:.

What if the lies that the world and tradition have told us could be broken?

What if we didn't see things from the perspective or do and don't? Rules and regulations.. but tried to create more love?
tried to create more peace?
tried to reinstate integrity?
tired to do what we feel in our gut is good and true, despite what the world, our box wants us to believe?

What if people were truly not judged by their achievements,

-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->-->

What music they listen to and what art they appreciate?

JLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJLJL

What if people weren't judged by their culture, their religion, the color of their skin?

##%##%##%##%##%##%##%##%##%##%##%##%##

By the clothes they wear and the image they project, the amount of girls or guys they win, the things they create? ..

What if they were truly judged and valued by the content of their characters?

Why then we would be the true liberals : )

some new work .:.

my session w. Mr. Roche -->

Aaron Roche // Same /// We'll Miss You More from Sahale Jensen on Vimeo.

life abundantly .:.

How do we love life more?

##1 // create an undying ability to be happy in EVERY circumstance.

happiness that does not wilt.

##2 // seize the day, boys ((or in my case girl)) haha




##3 // preserve relationships that enrich life. encourage us to be better.

""Life is too short to procrastinate and too long to settle.""


NEVER settle

No matter WHAT you face you can get ahead.
there is no win/lose. its win/learn which = win/win
never be afraid of failure.

##4 // study more Confucious

""At 15, I had my mind bent on learning. At 30, I stood firm. At 40, I had no doubts. At 60, my ear was obedient organ for the reception of the truth. At 70, I could do what my heart desired without transgressing what was good."" - Confucious

##5 // be places that fill the soul

##5 // .:. create a home. a place to be with some one special or even comfortably alone. a place with the pictures, the books, the movies, the music, the teas.. all the things that make life rich.

P.S. (psst..) home is not a place. that is what you call a house.

The 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso said that, "Peace must first be created within ourselves, then gradually expanded to include our families, our communities, and ultimately the whole planet."

I think the same is true for everything. Build that home inside of you first.

##6 // laugh more. take yourself less seriously.



##7 // listen to greek wisdom

Delphi became the site of a major temple to Phoebus Apollo, as well as the Pythian Games and the famous prehistoric oracle.

Supposedly carved into the temple were three phrases: γνωθι σεαυτόν (gnōthi seautón = "know thyself") and μηδέν άγαν (mēdén ágan = "nothing in excess"), and Εγγύα πάρα δ'ατη (engýa pára d'atē = "make a pledge and mischief is nigh"),[8]

KNOW THYSELF & everything in moderation

##8 // always create more than you destroy.

today

I am very happy : )

Happy VALENTINES to all my boys // past&&present LOVE YOU!! : )

Fiume Night 17 _ Jess Chambers, part1 _ Wellington, june 2009 from vincent moon / temporary areas on Vimeo.

film

I see a lot of film on my horizon..!

I've been worried and worried about my future. It seems like I always had a plan, a door that would lead to the next opportunity, but lately I had, had no idea what to do with myself. Now, I feel like I am getting back on track.. at least with opportunities.

GRADUATE SCHOOL

--grad school is up in the air because I don't want to be in debt when I get out. A mentor and acquaintance filmmaker, Mr. Mike Ott, suggested I check out Cal Arts. They are known to be very liberal and they also give degrees in dance, writing, fine art, and experimental animation. They also are outside of LA a little, giving some space and room to breath. The only problem is the price tag: $35,000 a year.

MAKEWORK

--The MakeWork grant is great. There are not many cities offering that much money up front for starting or continuing a project. I feel like it is an opportunity that is definitely worth looking into and working towards. I could get all the equipment I would need to shoot as many music video or promotion work as I wanted! Would have to get a day job though.

AARON ROCHE

--Just did a promotion for my friend Aaron Roche and may end up doing his CD art for his new album coming out. He is laying exciting plans for his new tour that will be laid into action after his album is released! He said that they will dive into a North American tour and maybe a European tour! Exciting! I will be graduated and free by then and maybe if I can get my stuff together can tag along to document and do film work for them on tour.

SO -- this is what I really really want to do. On a large scale. Take off with bands and do film and promotion work for them or live sessions! We will see. One door might seem open but I know that I will end up where I need to be to do the work I wanna do. Its just in my veins, pumping in my heart.

weary

Today my soul feels exhausted.
I don't know. Its a satisfied soul but I feel like its been fighting.
Its been through quite a battle.
Time is what I need. Time to heal and recoup.

I thought about innocence. A lot people think I'm innocent and probably naive. I can't say agree with them. Sure, I'm innocent, but I'm innocent by choice. I know the alternatives. I know what could be.

I've thought a lot about the value of accountability. Being able to take responsibility for one's actions. I haven't experienced a lot of things. I don't do those things because I want to only be accountable to actions I'm comfortable with. There are two worlds out there, a reality were people see you by what you are accountable to and a fantasy world that assumes it doesn't matter.

Last night, I went to John McLeod's sculpture show. I felt like I shouldn't be there. Like I wasn't allowed, like these were friends on loan to me and now I have to give them back. Like I had no right to be there.

I had so much fun though. I knew half the people in the room and respect them and felt loved and respected by them in return.

Its stupid. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her.

Mia Bergeron is someone that I don't know except through shadows of what I've heard, but she seems like a really interesting and nice person.

She is suave, she is a woman, she paints, she is really pretty.

I remember seeing those girls at the bar at Mudpie and feeling inadequate.. now here is what I wish I was. I have always painted and loved painting, if I were to do anything other than film, it would be fine art. My mom is a painter, all her friends are painters. I could be a Mia, but I'm not. I'm passionate about film, like she is passionate and talented at painting..

I wanted to go up to her and shake her hand and introduce myself and talk about France and art and working as an artist in Chattanooga, but I was stung by her. Immensely heavy hearted, hurt. I shouldn't be here. I shouldn't be hovering. The only problem is I'm really not, and its not my fault.

I just have so say.. so that you don't think I am emo or something -- I know I am amazing and that you will never find another Sahale in the whole world, if you were to search and search. I know that I deserve that room full of smiles, but its hard to deal with the falsehoods, the half truths and even more -- the honest truth. To any one person I could be of no interest, I could be just like any other girl, but to one person I could be everything. Please don't confuse me with that girl, because I will believe your beautiful lies.

Not everyone will see what is special in me with Mia Bergeron's roaming the earth, but its so hard when someone makes you believe that they are that person, that one person, only to find out that you weren't that person to them.. or the feeling of your heart on blocks as the person they seemed to be disappears. I know its partially my fault for falling in love so fast and not guarding my heart but its so hard to trust them after that. There is nothing I can do about that reality. I'd like to believe that just because you are dating a person doesn't mean they are that special to you, ..but if I say that I have to say that I probably wasn't anything special either.

the sstteeppss

Last night I helped with re-shoots for The Steps. I didn't know whether to be happy, excited, terrified, or downtrodden. In the end I decided to be none of those, haha, I decide to just be myself. I don't know why I have such an issue with revealing my whole personality to people.. maybe if someone rejects the bare bones of who I am, it would hurt more. But it turned out to be really fun. I realized how completely blessed I am to have the friends that I have in my life. Noah Collins, Beth Dickson Neuhoff, and John McLeod are totally kindred spirits, which is really hard to find in the South, especially at Southern. Some how I don't really enjoy hanging out with people my own age as much. Before this summer I felt 23 and after the events of this summer I feel really, really old. At least 30. haha

Noah and I sat in his super, super warm car. ((man, he cranks up the heat!!)) and talked about musical endeavors and listened to Animal Collective really loud. We laughed at my stupid stupid jokes. I don't even think they are that funny. He is easy to be friends with.

Beth and I sat in her car after we were done shooting, talking till 1:30 am!! haha She told me stories of her youth and we traded ideas. It was comforting to talk to someone who understood where my heart was coming from. Beth is Catholic, but seems chill about her faith, like me. She goes to shows and drinks some wine with her meals, like me. I think that when I am 50 I will be a lot like her. She also is good to talk to because she respects my faith. We seem to value things on eye level. Life seems crazier when you hear it from the depths of someone else's heart and give them piece of your heart as well. So many sweet, sweet moments and at the same time so many sad, sobering things. You really feel like you aren't the only one.

I saw John McLeod on the re-shoot for the first time in about a month. He had been in New York working on a puppet show that I had helped shoot some footage for. He asked me about my school and filmmaking endeavors and recommended some good ginger ale. I missed his laugh, so I told a few corny jokes to hear it again. He looks intimidating but has the softest heart. He is a sculptor and works with marble, metal, and wood. He is genuine. He would do what he does even if no one else cared.

Everyone else, of course, were really good to see as well.

This summer took a really big chunk of my life, it was good to have it back again.

I really enjoy being on set and working. It's a kind of completing feeling.

Like everything in life is in its place.

picked up the most amazing book today::

"The sins of the flesh are bad, but they are the least bad of all sins. All the worst pleasures are purely spiritual: the pleasure of putting other people in the wrong, of bossing and patronizing and spoiling sport, and back-biting, the pleasures of power, of hatred. For there are two things inside me, competing with the human self which I must try to become. They are the Animal self, and the Diabolical self. The Diabolical self is the worse of the two. The is why a cold, self-righteous prig who goes regularly to church may be far nearer to hell than a prostitute. But, of course, it is better to be neither."

-C.S. LEWIS "Mere Christianity"

THE secret LIFE of Jack White

mind blowing

in high school, this interview single handedly shifted a lot of my paradigms.

this is one artist that I have always envied and respected

From "A White-Striped Trip: "Get Behind Me Satan"

Interview with JACK and MEG WHITE

Terry Gross // NPR's FRESH AIR

GROSS: This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross back with Jack and Meg White of the duo the White Stripes. They have a new CD called "Get Behind Me Satan." Jack sings and plays guitar and other instruments. Meg plays drums.

The new album is called "Get Behind Me Satan," and there have been, you know, a couple of biblical references in your songs over the years. Were you brought up with religion?

Mr. WHITE: Oh, yes, heavy duty, but not to the point of, you know, like speaking in tongues or anything, I mean, but it was in the air for sure. I appreciate it as well, you know. I like looking at life through that at times and I wouldn't consider myself sort of--you know, I just like being in touch with God, I think. You know, I think that's sort of important. I think when you're a creative person in any kind of art form, once you finally admit to yourself that you can't create like God creates, it humbles you and then you can be free to explore the beauty of that creativity I think, you know, and I think when you look at it with God in the picture as well, it sort of frees you up I think.

GROSS: Do you see your musical abilities as some kind of gift that you were given?

Mr. WHITE: I suppose it's more of an opportunity to me that, you know, a lot of my friends, being musicians, you know, they all have that opportunity and I suppose what you do with it is sort of--to me, it seems to be always out of respect for the people who came before me and, of course, God who came before everybody. And, you know, it's just the idea that when you look at the creation of the world or the universe or anything like that, I mean, anything a human being can create seems to just pale to comparison, you know. It feels like, you know, out of respect, you have to be humble about it.

note! you can get transcripts of all NPR programs with Factiva Database! available through most libraries!! awesome.

Lulley, lully, lulley, lully,
The faucon hath born my mak away.

He bare hym up, he bare hym down,
He bare hym into an orchard brown.
In that orchard ther was an hall,
That was hanged with purpill and pall.

And in that hall ther was a bede,
Hit was hangid with gold so rede.
And yn that bed ther lythe a knyght,
His wowndes bledyng day and nyght.

By that bedes side ther kneleth a may,
And she wepeth both nyght and day.
And by that bedes side ther stondith a ston,
"Corpus Christi" wretyn theron.

Corpus1 by sahalemarja

an epiphany .:.

Part I .:.

Today in Issues of Physical Science and Religion we had some more presentations from people in the class about some of the books that they have been reading and few of the presentations struck my most definite interest. A couple ideas started to form in my mind. One was related to a presentation about the book called "The God Who Is There" by Francis Shaeffer. The presenter said that the author seems to emphasize a need to be in the world and know the world thoroughly.

How else can we know the context for truth?

What that means is: the most consistent warper and tester of truth is history and culture.
We CANNOT deny the profound effect of events such as World War I, that sweepingly changed view points, the arts, theater, philosophy.. how can we deny that it must have also had a profound impact on theology? And if not theology, at the least very way in which we look at everything in world, which would include what we consider to be the truths of our theologies and philosophies.

An example is the changes in art because of events. Art is a mirror of society, of what is going on in the minds of a generation.

First look at this example of post impressionism, a movement of art before World War I ::

Post Impressionism - 1910's //
George Seurat's "Un dimanche après-midi à l'Île de la Grande Jatte"



Next look at this example of Dada art that was a reaction to World War I::

Dadaist Movement - 1916 to 1922 //
Otto Dix's "Stormtroopers Advancing Under Gas"



In the art you can see the reflection of what society was thinking about.. and at the same time where they started to place their value and how they started to rethink the world and reinterpret truth.

No wonder theology and truths can be twisted and warped. We must understand the world to understand the underlying principle of how it has changed, why it has changed, and at which points babies might have gotten thrown out with bathwaters, and where truths may have been added that are complete fallacies.

FACT: Truth can be gained through fallacies
FACT: Those fallacies that proved that truth are often used in and of themselves as the truth
but that doesn't mean they are true at all

Many theologians or evangelicals are ready to make you believe tradition is truth --> rather than a reflection of cultural changes -- and many liberals, on the other side, would make you believe that culture makes faith irrelevant. That doesn't mean it is true.

Immersing yourself in culture and understanding it from the inside out informs your faith, because you know why culture has come to the conclusions it has and you can see either the truth or the lie in it. You can really see whether you agree with it or not.

This is also why I see a desperate hole that is so perfectly filled by God. If culture is so chaotic and how we see the world so prone to change.. to what measuring stick can we calculate truth? Something that is consistent and unchanging and filled with love. Something like the God I've come to know.

//|\\//|\\//|\\//|\\//|\\//|\\//|\\//|\\//|\\//|\\//|\\//|\\//|\\

Part II .:.

We watched Citizen Kane the last night which is considered a classic classic film.

Really really well put together. Almost flawless in my mind.

It explores the nature of love.

TRUTH = loving others will add love to the world.
TRUTH = if you love others they are free and safe to love you in return.
TRUTH?= i should love others so that they will love me??

The movie's point seems to be that this is not true.
YES, if you are loving, others feel safe to love you.
YES everyone wants love.

But Mr. Kane was always left empty because his focus and his truth was --bottom line, loving himself.

"A toast, Jedediah, to love on my terms. Those are the only terms anybody ever knows - his own"
-Charles Kane

In his youth, Charles Kane was unable to make choices for himself. At the beginning of the film, he is taken from his parents and sent away to school never to see them again. Later, he comes into a very large inheritance and has to bear the responsibility of this large sum of money, again, without his consent. As Charles Kane finally comes of age and is in charge of his own life, he tries to control everything and everyone in his life and does things purely out of pride and out of self love.

however, HE NEVER DOES A SINGLE blatantly EVIL THING IN THE FILM
but that is the very problem
instead he does something much worse..
he warps the truth of love

Susan: What's the difference between giving me a bracelet or giving somebody else a hundred thousand dollars for a statue you're gonna keep crated up and never even look at? It's just money, it doesn't mean anything! You never really give me anything that belongs to you, that you care about!

Charles: Susan, I want you to stop this.

Susan: I'm not gonna stop it.

Charles: Right now!

Susan: You never gave me anything in your whole life. You just tried to bribe me into giving you something.

Charles: Susan!

---

Charles: ...Whatever I do, I do because I love you.

Susan: You don't love me. You want me to love you. [She mimicks him] 'Sure, I'm Charles Foster Kane. Whatever you want, just name it and it's yours. But you've gotta love me!'

[Kane slaps her.]

Susan: Don't tell me you're sorry.

Charles: I'm not sorry.

-lines from Citizen Kane, 1941


what a film to wrap your mind around

Mr. Kane agrees with our view of good and evil, but he agrees only because that is what people expect and perceive as love and that is how he can get them to love him in return. TRUTH! yes truth but the truth of his love is hollow and meaningless.

Love is a change of heart. Love is a change of the way we see things.. the way we desire things. I can't imagine ever being happy living like Mr. Kane, I don't think he was either. Seems like he got and did everything he ever wanted to, but at the end of his life all he wanted was to be back with his family on that farm that we saw during his childhood, playing in the snow.

by the way. the cinematography in Citizen Kane? AMAZING! way ahead of its time and stunningly gorgeous. compliments to Mr. Gregg Toland

cold war kids

with colleagues such as these, who needs friends?

Reaching chapter 11 in my physics book, "The Elegant Universe" by Brian Greene. I found a startling and beautiful camaraderie between me and the scientists mentioned in the book, something inspiring and human about the search for super strings.

I can just image a young Dr. Brian Greene, having just received his doctorate in Theoretical Physics, excited about the possibilities of the string theory. Sitting a the Institute for Advanced Study, near Princeton, NJ. Working and working late nights, in collaboration with other experts and respected scientists in his field, to figure out the answer to the vast and basic questions of the universe.

It must have been such an exciting time in his life! Doing what he loved doing, and being on the cutting edge of research at that time. Sitting and crunching numbers that could determine what we know about how the most intricate things of the universe work. ... Now I'm not saying that mathematics sounds like the most exciting fun ever and I definitely have a distain for how confused it always tends to make me, but imagine being good at it! Having a talent for mathematics and being skilled enough to use math in a way to do such important work!

I wanna feel that way about what I end up doing and I definitely I want to work like colleagues such as these.

"Morrison sat at the computer with his finger hovering over the enter button. With the tension mounting he said, 'Here goes,' and set the calculation in motion. In a couple of seconds the computer returned its answer: 8.999999. My heart sank. Could it be that space-tearing flop transitions shatter the mirror relation, likely indicating that they cannot actually occur? Almost immediately, though, we all realized that something funny must be going on...

We had gotten the wrong answer, but one that suggested, perhaps, that we had just made some simple arithmetic error...

We needed to do another example...

Once again, we huddled around the computer and set it on its way. Seconds later it returned 11.9999999. Agreement. We had shown that the supposed mirror is the mirror, and hence space-tearing flop transitions are part of the physics of string theory.

At this I jumped out of my chair and ran an unrestrained victory lap around the office. Morrison beamed from behind the computer. Aspinwall's reaction, though, was rather different. 'That's great, but I knew it would work,' he calmly said. 'And where's my beer?'"

-The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene, pg. 276

whining about dining

the Sahale and Tim restaurant review idea
(mostly his idea) --> but I'm stealing it! because I was really excited about it
I want to smell the smells, see the sights, and taste the tastes of this little oyster
called Chattanooga //

Sahale is going to go to all these resturants::

http://chattanoogapulse.com/the-pulse-dining-guide/

((well except the fast food..))
and write a review of the food to be posted here..!

PLAN&&ADVENTURE no. 2

exposition:
SAHALE + the classic burger
is a loving loving relationship
and that love will lead me to discover Chattanooga's best burger.
ALL the burger's of Chattanooga reviewed? you bettcha! with stunning Olympus Digital photography to prove it!

be prepared .:.

->->addendum::
expensive resturants will get the appetizer treatment.
restaurants with meals $15+ will only get their appetizers reviewed, for the safety and welfare of Sahale's budget..

->-> 2nd addendum
I have no idea how often I'll get around to all you new and shiny restaurants.
this experimental project may not bear its first fruits so fast haha
in other words: patience with me, dear friends

this weekend.

This moring I sat sideways in my chair, acutely aware of the strong smell of cigarettes on my jacket. I enjoyed the smokey scent but I wasn't as sure that my classmate in World Religions would agree with me.

This weekend was for Digital Butter at Rythm and Blues. I had never been to Rythm and Brews before. It was a pretty sweet joint, although I wish the type of music that usually comes in there matched its indie and quirky interior. I got my dance on. My, as usual, sober dance.

This weekend was for watching an old fav show. Watched a marathon of Friends. Forgot how funny some of the writing is! Felt homie when the snow was floating past my windows.

This weekend was for learning how to play one drum beat. Maybe I can prefect it and add on another. Cheers to being a someday drummer.

This weekend was for random thrift store runs and finding outfits that smell like your grandma. This weeked was for seeing strange southerners at said thrift stores and shamelessly people watching.

This weekend was for graphic design photoshoots and running around the back streets of Ootelwah and for seeing two foot icicles.

This weekend was for remembering my childhood obession with Moomintrolls. And my late summer nights ((in the northwest the sun can last till nine pm)) reading Finn Fairy Tales till I fell asleep.

This weekend was for appreciating all that I have and wishing for nothing more. Pondering my hopes of the future and practicing delayed gratification.

This weekend was for feeling like Chattanooga is becoming the NYC of the 60's. Feeling like I am a part of something big that is about to happen in this city. ((hopefully that and I'm not catching a false vibe))

This weekend was for thinking and being excited about attempting to be a part of this maddness of Chattanooga.((tenatively)) haha
