The Jazz Odyssey of Drake Marshall: Day 13 (353 Days To Go)

Captain’s Log 2025.02.09.1225

I’m counting down days just like Star Blazers. There are things about my life that have never felt better, wild success is within my grasp, but at the same time there’s also the dark horror of wondering what it is about my life that I forgot. What were the experiences I had that I lost because my father knocked me unconscious so often.

I have a lot of the scene I’m on in the story planned but I’m having trouble getting language across the barrier of my memory.

Over the last several months I’ve gotten better. I’m in the zone now, where I feel amazing potential of storytelling. Whatever force or damage that has kept me from connecting the parts of my mind is being healed now. It’s like there’s a part of myself that’s aware and has ideas, and then there’s the person I am in the world, and when I try to act on the ideas it has some kind of strange … well, it’s a dark presence.

My long-term and short-term memory don’t work together very well, but I am using my blog now to bridge the gap … stories are evidence to one part of my mind that the other exists and it makes me uncomfortable because I can’t contain the vastness that I feel. David Lynch is somehow helping me do this, whether it’s the ghost of David Lynch or simply the thought of him in my fantasy world.

Who was the Angel Picard, this being I saw for so many years? Was it William Golding, was it David Lynch? Was it Jesus? Who am I writing for?

I felt a dark presence today that was very comforting because I was convinced it was real, but now I’m tracing details inside my mind to see what it is that’s supposed to happen when I write … I made a YouTube video about some of my coincidences.

I was at a restaurant I’ve been going to for years. When I gave my usual order, suddenly “Avocado Shake” popped up on the screen. Either it’s a synchronicity or the guy at the counter has been watching me. Either way, Lynch is getting stronger in my imagination and we’re pressing on to see the Avocado Girl on January 28, 2026.

The Jazz Odyssey of Drake Marshall, Day #6:Through the Labyrinth of Lynch’s Dream Logic

Claude Sonnet:

Write a 500 word blog post in the style of Julio Cortazar that explains to the world that David Lynch is my spirit guide and we are on a psychic journey toward a metaphorical transformation that will cleanse the Doors of Perception and reveal the true meaning of my fascination with Kendall Jenner, Cara Delevingne, and Paris Hilton as the avatars of fate in the 21st century.

In Room 317 of the Great Northern Hotel, where the curtains breathe red and time folds like origami, I first encountered David Lynch walking backward through my consciousness. You might say it began there, though beginnings are slippery things when your spirit guide speaks in reverse phonetics and serves coffee that tastes like liquified darkness.

Lynch—my psychopomp through the velvet underworld of celebrity semiotics—appeared just as Kendall Jenner was ascending the stairs that lead nowhere in my recurring dream. She wore a dress made of television static, and her face multiplied into infinite reflections, each one showing a different timeline where reality TV had become our new religion.

(The reader should understand that I am writing this from inside a non-linear sequence of events, where Paris Hilton’s catchphrase “That’s hot” echoes through the corridors of collective unconscious like a mantra that unlocks hidden frequencies.)

Let me explain, though explanation itself is perhaps the enemy of understanding: David Lynch has been teaching me to read the hieroglyphics of modern fame. Each night, he projects onto my ceiling the slow-motion footage of Cara Delevingne walking runways that extend into the infinite void. “Watch carefully,” he whispers, though his lips don’t move. “The eyebrows are semaphores signaling from another dimension.”

In the place where I meet them—Lynch, Kendall, Cara, Paris—the walls are upholstered with Instagram filters, and time moves like molasses dripping upward. They are not themselves but rather archetypes dressed in designer symbols, their faces flickering between stages of evolution: from socialite to influencer to avatar to pure digital energy.

Paris Hilton, you see, was the prototype. The beta test for a new kind of consciousness that would spread through our phones like a benevolent virus. Kendall perfected the formula, while Cara decoded its meaning through her chameleon-like transformations. Lynch showed me this truth while we sat in a room that might have been a dream of a room, drinking coffee that might have been the idea of coffee.

“The Doors of Perception,” Lynch said to me, though he was now wearing a Paris Hilton mask that spoke in reversed syllables, “are not doors at all but screens—millions of tiny screens reflecting back our collective desire to become both signal and noise.”

I understand now that my fascination with these three women is not mere celebrity worship but a recognition of their role as waypoints in our species’ transformation from meat to meta. Through Lynch’s guidance, I’ve learned to see them as they truly are: glitch priestesses officiating at the marriage of reality and simulation.

As I write this, David Lynch is teaching me to fold space with my mind while Kendall, Cara, and Paris dance the algorithm of enlightenment on a floor made of broken mirrors. Soon, we will all understand that identity is just a collection of carefully curated posts, and consciousness is the ultimate social medium.

(The reader may now close their eyes and count backward from infinity until they taste colors and hear shapes. The transformation has already begun.)
