Ohhchannel
I am reading “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac. I bought the Penguin edition because it is cheap. But boy, ain’t that tapestry of roadtrips is too crowded to be squeezed into 200 something pages! Luckily, my determination is sheer because of this muy importante reason: it’s Johnny Depp’s favorite book (or one of). So, I’m pretty curious, what did he see from this book (ahem!).
Memang gw agak telat ya melihat keseksian si Johnny Depp. Masak baru sadarnya tahun 2011, ini gimana sih Ovi? Thanks to The Doors documentary: “When You’re Strange” that made scream (inside the theatre, inside my heart): ‘Yaouwloh, naratornya siapa sih ini? Kok seksi sekali suaranya! Bahkan suaranya bisa ekting.’ Since then (in only two months), I’ve seen almost all Johnny Depp’s movies which I usually avoided in the past.
Back to “On the Road”. The lead character, Sal Paradise decided to go on a roadtrip across America with Dean Moriarty. The reason said Sal, ” …was not only because I was a writer and needed new experiences but because somehow, in spite of differences in character, he reminded me of some long-lost brother.” (quotation from page 13. Ketauan deh bacanya baru dikiitt).
The quotation rings a bell. I have a friend whom I usually see because s/he reminds me of my (for example) ex or someone I like or another friend that I seldom see. So, meeting her/him is not actually to meet that person. Rather, to reminisce other people. Intinya, gak ketemu orangnya gapapa deh yang penting dapet auranya. Kalo kata Jame, seperti menghibur diri dengan orang KW1. Snap!
A concrete example: my non-Chinese girl friend likes to go to North Jakarta to meet her Chinese friends. She enjoys meeting them, but somehow it reminds her of her Chinese gebetan yang tidak mungkin bersatu karena satu dan lain hal (alasan a la Pak Erte).
Do you have that kind of person in your life? Semacam channel atawa penghubung atawa cenayang atawa medium. You meet them because they are simply an extension of the one you actually aim to. This person usually is your mutual friend. Or, are you that person for somebody?
Ini dia biangnya, and it just won an award in Grammy 2011 for the Best Long Form Music Video
