Inside our Boxes
As I was walking my dog tonight I noticed some things. Everyone is closed off from each other now. Each house I passed had its own giant TV hanging on the wall with a few people seated in front of it, mesmerized by the glowing screen. The rains earlier in the day seemed to have driven everyone inside, as Cala and I saw no other people or dogs outside.
People used to be more social and neighborly. Now our interactions are all digital. I am the poster child for this.
What an interesting world we live in. Time passes and people get further away from each other. Thankfully there are still dogs and squirrels.
Batman Women
Just watched Batman Begins and The Dark Knight again. What the hell is up with the casting for Racheal Dawes? First we get melty faced Katie Holmes. Then they replace her with Maggie Gyllenhaal, who looks like she took one too many to the face as well.
Are there no attractive female actors who wanted to be in Batman? Really? And now rumors that dog-faced Gyllenhaal will be playing Catwoman. How sad.
Help me I'm melting... what a world...what a world...
Anyone know where I can get some more meth?
Joshuas Basement is almost empty
I was looking in my basement yesterday for more things to put out on ebay, and realized its almost empty. All my easily sellable stuff has all been listed or ending today. This is last mondays shipment, almost 60 pounds of stuff. Most of my GIJoes were out this week.
I’ve been redoing my comics, so maybe I might try selling some of them next. I have a lot of old VHS tapes and CDs that I am going to go through as well, probably just donate them to get them out of the house. I need to make room for Tempest. :)
You may have an eBay problem…
You may have an eBay problem if driving around on garbage day you see the boxes people have thrown out and think “man I could use that for shipping”…
I think I have a problem.
Wonder Woman 1942 interview w/ William Moulton Marston
Going through the Wonder Woman video tapes I’m selling on ebay, I started reading the backs on some. Here are some excerpts from a 1942 Family Circle interview with Wonder Woman creator Dr. William Moulton Marston.
Marston was asked if he thought man could ever stop waging war: “Oh yes, but not until women control men. Wonder Woman – and the trend toward male acceptance of female love power, which she represents, indicates that the first psychological step has actually been taken. Boys, young and old, satisfy their wish thoughts by reading comics. If they go crazy over Wonder Woman, it means they’re longing for a beautiful, exciting girl who is stronger than they are. These simple, highly imaginative picture stories satisfy longings that ordinary daily life thwarts and denies. Superman and the army of male comics characters who resemble him satisfy the simple desire to be stronger and more powerful than anybody else. Wonder Woman satisfies the subconscious, elaboratedly disguised desire of males to be mastered by a woman who loves them.”
In regards to Wonder Woman’s trade mark bracelets, Marston had this to say: “Wonder Woman and her sister Amazons have to wear heavy bracelets to remind them of what happens to a girl when she lets a man conquer her. The Amazons once surrendered to the charm of some handsom Greeks and what a mess they got themselves into. The Greeks put them in chains of the Hitler type, beat them, and made them work like horses in the fields. Aphrodite, goddess of love, finally freed these unhappy girls. But she laid down the rul that they must never surrender to a man for any reason. I know of no better advice to give modern women than this rule that Aphrodite gave the Amazon girls.”
April 4, 1984
The past and the future meet again. Odd coincidences and strange numbers align. George Orwell’s 1984 has been on my netflix instant que for weeks, why then should I pick today to watch it, the same date that the story begins with.
Why does it take 21 days to make or break a habit? 21 grams is supposedly lost from the body on death; the weight of the soul? In the tarot, The Universe is card 21. All this only has signifigance because of a nick name derived from an opposite. 21 half of 42; The Answer. Again these numbers may only hold meaning for me, but there is just too much in my head to simply dismiss it all.
Time Coalesces All.
It all just feels too unlikely to be coincidence. What if you are meant to be someone? But you don’t yet know who?
“There is truth and there is untruth. To be in a minorty of one does not make you mad”
Vlog? or not to vlog
So I am thinking about vlogging. Seems easier than typing my thoughts all the time.
This is a test. Need to see where I can host them. Does it work? Here is a squirrel.

Michigan State : true story
Bobby Knight, after living a full life, died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Indiana University flag in the window. “This house is yours for eternity, Bob,” said God. “This is very special; not everyone gets a house up here.”
Bob felt special indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a three-story mansion with a bright Green and White sidewalk, a 50-foot tall flagpole flying an enormous Michigan State flag, and, in every window, a Spartan logo. In the front yard was a sign that said “Welcome to the Izzone.”
Bob looked at God and said, “God, I’m not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I won three national championships, more Big Ten titles than I can remember, and I am the winningest coach in IU basketball history.”
God said, “So, what do you want to know, Bob?”
“Well, why does Tom Izzo get a better house than me?”
God chuckled and said, “Bob, that’s not Tom’s house……..it’s mine.”
GO STATE!
