The Other Half

Nobody likes to see you alone except other lonely people. Life seems to be more about the connections you make with other people than it is about personal achievement. At least in my industry. When the student is ready the master will appear; such is life.

recurring problems

Recurring problems are reminders of choose-your-own-reality boundaries. Conquer your problem, change your reality. Fall back into your problems and stay the same.

Churlish Requests

People don't like to spend money. But they love to get things.

I don't like to spend money. But I love getting things.

The only way to get things without money is with love.

And this is why love is the biggest con game of all.

Baby Steps

I know my strongest genres are horror, sci-fi, and to a lesser extent action, but "What About Bob?" the perversely humorous movie starring Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss is pretty damn good.

Baby steps to understanding. Baby steps to the rest of your life.

Big fan of how two characters seemingly turn into each other, sending each other from one extreme to the next. It's good to play games with yourself, and when you forget how, someone will inevitably show up and make your life hell until you can have fun again.

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone.

First Blog

90seconds in ninety seconds/why such an arbitrary number?:

1. when we die there's a supposed moment of complete recall where your pineal gland releases the spirit molecule inside your brain, and you relive your entire life (life flashes before your eyes) in the ensuing 90 seconds.

2. we live in completely automated lifestyles, the average person's consciousness is 90 seconds behind the present. to truly think something through takes at least 90 seconds.

3. if sunspots were to cause the disruption of all electrical activity on earth, it would be 90 seconds from the elapsed time of the first flickering lightbulb to complete loss of power.
