(Dream #End) + the Bruno Dumont quote.

I was in the backseat of my uncle’s old GMC suburban on the Fahaheel’s Highway, my cousin was driving, can’t remember who was sitting in front, but I was in the back. Suddenly the sky is darkening, guess what? Alien attack!!

We were on the way to…

*stops writing because his food just arrived*

*36 minutes later…*

We we on our way to Sabah Al-Salem, where my uncle lives, so we had to take the Messial-Sabah Al-Salem bridge. Just as we saw the bridge, a robot that has a cubic body, probably 3 meters on each side and 4 long octopus-like arms (probably 10 meters each) fell from the sky on one of the cars at the traffic light on the bridge, I saw electricity and smoke coming out of it. 2 arms had the car in a grip, 2 on the floor. Then suddenly it jumped to the sky with the car, and it disappeared from sight. We were shocked and horrified in the car. What was going on? We had no idea, and we couldn’t move anywhere else because we were already on the bridge. I was thinking that this is the end of the world, then as we stopped and the traffic light strange birds started coming from the sky. They looked like something between a crow and a parrot. Like a black parrot with a giant beak. Those birds were like kamekaze pilots! They would falls from the sky on the top of the cars and break it with their beaks, leave a hole in the car then die. My cousin takes a left to head home very fast that the cars starts spinning, then head in the right direction again. One of those birds falls on one of our tires, my cousin stops the car and we run towards the building next to the Naif chicken. Groups of people stop their cars and start running towards us. Space ships start landing on the ground, they looked like those from the latest War of the Worlds film, and I hear like a voice over in a film someone saying “Operation Destruction! Operation Destruction!”

*Think he has nothing more to say*

Today was our 4th and last performance of “The Railway Children” … finally some time off and no more rehearsals for a few months… just the regular weekly classes…

*adds something to the post’s title*

A few weeks ago, I finished reading Projections 12, from the Projections series, currently reading Projections 10, and the last interview on book 12 was with French director Bruno Dumont, former philosophy professor, and something he said that got stuck in my head… he said…

“I studied philosophy because it demands an intellectual outlook on the world [...] But I soon discovered that philosophy was too subjective: it lacks heart, it’s over-intellectual, and I found that it made me cut myself off from the everyday”

To a certain extent, I do agree with this… specially the “over-intellectual” part… I’m not ditching the whole history of philosophy or anything… and it’s more interesting that such a statement come from a philosophy professor…
