30 Beats

How much do you know about what is called "transference"? What you think you feel for me is not what you really feel. What you feel are projected, redirected feelings that you shouldn't feel like feeling -- not real feelings. They're feelings from you past that you are transferencing to me...on me...onto me, but not onto the real me -- onto some idea that you have of me. An interesting contradiction. The fluidity of sexual energies and self control.
- 30 Beats
I ran out of things to watch on netflix, so i decided to watch one of the independent films that they have called 30 Beats. I thought it was going to be some romance movie, but it was really just about a bunch of people hooking up. Sort of interesting in a way, but also a little slow. Each person's hook up lead to another encounter of a one night stand of some sort. Perhaps with a stranger, old friend, doctor, or best friend. Well this quote stood out to me. I never even heard of the term "transference", but what that guy said to the girl that was throwing himself at her made some sense to me. It's an interesting concept. I wasn't able to exactly get the quote down word for word, but i tried my best. So i tried to google a part of it to see if the rest of the quote would pop-up, but instead a bunch of scientific shit popped up about love, lust, and transference. I haven't had the time to really look into this concept, but once i definitely will.

From what the quote says, i guess sometimes in a stage of vulnerability you feel lust or find yourself infatuated with someone. However, it's not that you actually really want the real them...you just want the idea of them, around you. In other words, i want to say its similar to rebounding. Is it? I don't really know. That's just what i got out of context.

I'll look into all this, and be back with more. Maybe. Toodles.
