2015

Opened up my new year with a journey, just couldn't stop my feet from making a footprints..
Meeting new people, getting help from old friends, all I knew that those things made me happy, being a hippies, relying on a backpack for a long time, and a little of money, but some how I survive. Of course I do, I stood between my friends. We had fun like there was no duty nor deadline..
But I forgot one thing, I forgot to close up my problem. I opened all that door, and left it over as I never enter those room. I drifted myself into a society that never know me as a whole person so I could pretend that I never knew those problem and no body will reminds me about that because nobody knew my past..






Freedom is always something that I want, want to be, want to live in it..
I was looking for a home for such a long time, long journey, until I realized that I don't need one, there are always a kindness of stranger, a street to be sleep, free cigarette, a floor to be dance..



So I continued to travel, just ride, followed the blow of the wind..
Backpack could be a symbol of my freedom, I could go anywhere, everywhere, but home, because I don't need one.. I had everything that I need inside it..

I made a long way run, changed from one person to another person, and that wouldn't be a problem, because they didn't knew me, I was all alone after all, inside the faces of stranger..





HARD TIME, HARD TIME, RUSHING BY..
BLOOD, SPLASH, WOUND
I was out of oxygen, hard time, tons of problems, came by. It felt like I didn't faced a lot of big problem  for such a long time, about four years I guess..
I screamed, but no one hear
I cried to sleep each night
Became a completely robot
Doing what I had to do without knowing what I need to do, how to fix up things, and make a choice
I felt completely empty
I heard people talking, but I didn't knew what they were talking about
I ate and drank, but I didn't knew how they tasted

I was the only one who didn't laugh when someone threw a joke
I was the only white between black, and the only black between white
How lucky those who could became a grey
I didn't even knew was God is real or not
I didn't knew who to blame to
friends, family, stranger, or simply me
Mostly I chose myself
That women who stood behind the mirror suddenly became my worse enemy
I tried to kill her, scream, and cry to her, told her how stupid she was
But she was the only one who understood me, the only one I could talked to at that moment, about my duty, college, money, family
Every pictures and moments became polaroid
I got sicked of it, where were all those colors?
I didn't knew where to ask
So I chose to ignore it, even I knew it wouldn't work
But I kept reminds myself that
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger
And I had a faith that there would come a color rain that filled all this white and black with colors
It was a little weird, but I found friends, or at least those who could shared some colors and told me where to find color right when I was stopped to believe that there are colors. Thing one by one clear, and it did happened a color rain. At the same month, May 2015, my lives got colored.

Maybe I would never knew how colors means a lot in my life if I never lost it..
I was deeply wound, but I survived..
There is no light without darkness
There is no laugh without cries
I found an oxygen
I breath
Breath, baby, breath..
Things went back to almost normal
I never knew anything that completely normal
Everything are absurd
Even life itself




   



Those colors kept raining...


One day, I met a person. We talked a little, something I didn't knew at that moment, that he would change me..
I believe that people don't have to owe each other, we are a completely free subject, we don't need to attach to other, we could stand by ourselves, ot at least me..
I don't need home, world is my home, I keep searching an edge of freedom, where I could be anyone and anything that I want..
I lost my home, no wonder..
I didn't loose it once, but many
Some because I was different, some because I wasn't fit to them, and some I just simply left them...
I believed that I would find a happiness through a freedom, without anywhere to belong
Just me, myself, and I
That little talked led me to know him more, he was so different from me, his culture and the way of thinking..
Until I realized that that little talked turned into a two months talked, a non-ending talked, and I enjoyed it, simply because he was different from me
He got me thinking about my thought
I loved him, but I left him
I couldn't possessed him because he was too gorgeous to be owned and caged
And I would stopped loving him if I own him

Those freedom led me to a dead-end, I found no happiness, there were no happiness inside it
I felt lost without a home, a place to go back to
Perhaps I aint willing to be free, I just thought that I am. It just the illusion that I built, a bullshit to make me still happy without a home when actually I was screaming to be home and not to be free..
I told all of this things to a stranger, then he said "You should change you perspective about what is a home, is it a person, community, or place. If you don't have one, make one. You have something that called brain. It's something that built up the reality around you. It's the one who has completely freedom. No one could limit another's mind. You're the owner of your brain and you're the writer of your life."

It was true, anyone could caged somebody's body, but not they mind.
I choose to change
I left a thousand of thing that I owned
I even left myself
Something that I did four years ago
That completely changed they way I lived
Well, in my perception, to be better
Then I tried it again
I will never be something if I never break away from who I am that day

I cried when I left them for the very first time, till I stopped
Weird things happen
I found myself right when I stopped being who I am
I got nothing to lose because I had nothing left

End of December came
All those little pain, memories, laugh, teardrops, thoughts, steps, wounds, bloods, sounds, stares, people, imaginations, words, every little things gathered and build my 2015..

Rekonstruksi Realitas Dalam The Truman Show

     The Truman Show merupakan film yang mencerikatan tentang bagaimana seorang lelaki, Truman Burbank (Jim Carrey), yang sebenarnya lahir, dan tumbuh dalam pertunjukan televisi. Pada akhir filmnya, Truman berusaha untuk mengetahui batas “panggung” pertunjukannnya, dan keluar dari pertunjukan televisi tersebut. Pengambilan sudut pandang kamera dalam film ini juga menggunakan sudut pandang kamera tersembunyi. Sepanjang film juga ditayangkan iklan (beer, coklat) untuk memperjelas posisinya sebagai pertunjukan televisi komersial.   The Truman Show secara tersirat juga menggambarkan bagaimana realitas yang ada di sekeliling kita, sejak kita lahir hingga tumbuh dewasa, merupakan hasil konstruksi yang dibuat oleh orang-orang di sekitar kita. Kita memercayai sesuatu ketika banyak orang yang juga percaya akan hal itu. Seperti yang dikatakan Christof, “we accept the reality of the world with whick we’re presented. It’s as simple as that” [ Scene ketika Cristof menjelaskan Mika, mengapa Truman

Komentar terhadap Paradigma Naratif

Rangkuman Paradigma naratif merupakan salah satu teori yang ditemukan oleh Walter Fisher di mana manusia dipercaya sebagai makhluk pencerita, dan pertimbangan akan nilai, emosi, dan estetika menjadi dasar keyakinan dan perilaku kita. Manusia cenderung lebih mudah terbujuk oleh cerita yang bagus daripada argumen yang bagus. Menceritakan kisah juga merupakan esensi dari sifat dasar manusia. Lahirnya paradigma naratif menyebabkan pergeseran paradigma, di mana sebelumnya masyarakat secara umum lebih sering menggunakan paradigma rasional. Keduanya seringkali dijadikan pembanding dan untuk membedakan, di mana paradigma rasional seringkali dimaknai dengan logos sebagai logika, dan paradigma naratif dengan mitos sebagai kisah dan emosi. Paradigma naratif memberikan sebuah alternatif dari paradigma dunia rasional tanpa menegasi rasionalitas tradisional. Fisher juga menegaskan bahwa cerita, atau mitos, terkandung di dalam semua usaha komunikasi manusia (bahkan yang melibatkan logika) kare

Arranged: Menghidupkan Tradisi dalam Masyarakat Plural

Perbenturan budaya, dalam konteks positif ataupun negatif, dalam kota metropolitan menjadi hal yang biasa terjadi. Film Arranged yang ditulis oleh Stefan Schaefer menghadirkan fenomena ini dalam bentuk persahabatan antara Rochel Meshenberg, seorang Yahudi Ortodoks, dengan Nasira Khaldi, seorang Muslim keturunan Suria. Brooklyn, New York, menjadi latar belakang dari berlangsungnya hubungan mereka. Film independen asal Amerika yang diproduksi oleh Cicala Filmworks ini membuka narasi dengan menunjukan bagaimana Rochel dan Nasira yang bekerja sebagai guru baru di sebuah sekolah umum menghadirkan identitas yang berbeda dari guru-guru lainnya. Identitas Yahudi dan Islam yang dihadirkan sempat dijadikan sorotan oleh murid-murid dan kepala sekolah mereka. Persahabatan mereka pun diwarnai dengan bagaimana mereka bercerita tentang tradisi yang dimiliki masing-masing, hingga masalah perjodohan beserta dilemanya yang dimiliki keduanya. Rochel sebagai Yahudi Ortodoks harus menentukan pilihan atas
