Brain Freeze: the Movie
Posted Sep 27, 2002
Arrrgh!
I wait for the moment to pass,
but there is no passing lane.
The coming relief I hope for,
is stuck behind an eighteen-wheeled
trepidatious expectation far behind me.
I can see it in the rear view mirror
of my mind.
I'm stuck on a narrow edge of
a mountain lane and a half highway
to the same old thing.
It cloverleafs into itself
just as my headlights and wipers fail,
so that I am slowing to the honking,
hoping I don't die in a collision
with myself.
It is so strange to be so lonely
in such a crowded brain!

I don't know anything.
Posted Sep 8, 2002
I have run into flashbacks of my life occurring in other people's lives.
I have no idea what to tell them or what to do, because I didn't know what to do when it happened to me, and I don't haven't learned much in hindsight.
Sometimes experience is just a scar.
You can't really tell other's how to avoid it, particularly if it was an accident.
I know how to avoid the circumstances that led me to my accidents, but I cannot advance this knowledge to others, because until I had the accident, I didn't know how it felt or how it happened.
You just can't convey some things with words.
"Be Careful" is just not enough, sometimes.

Triple X the movie
Posted Aug 25, 2002
Went to see Triple X with the spousal unit and the daughter tonight.
I was prepared to try to like it and I did.
But all in all, I think he should avoid being indoors in the next movie. It makes him look shorter.
And I think that this movie would have benefited from far less dialogue and a lot more music!
Really liked the car. Would have liked to have seen more of it.

Just a thought....

Alternative Theory of Relativity
The closer a relative is to you, the less likely you are to do what they tell you to do. Unless they use reverse psychology, which you are likely to suspect that they will try.
This leads into the areas of chaos and uncertainty. The more chaotic things become, the more uncertain you and your relative are that the right thing will be done for the right reasons. If the right thing is done for the wrong reasons, then a balance is achieved, however tenuous. If the wrong thing is done for the right reasons, then a balance is needed, soon. And any free radical, such as, say, your brother-in-law, will be seized upon to facilitate this.
Which leads to the unified field theory and string theory. As relatives, you are committed to a metaphoric playing field that was agreed upon before you were born, by people you had no control over, who became, at least momentarily, unified. Until you reach the age of reason, or twenty-one, whichever comes first, they can string you along with any number of hypotheses and fallacies. Thereafter, you can use the same stringing technique to inveigle money and, later, if necessary, free childcare out of them.
Which leads to game theory and the four color map problem.
No matter how long you play the game on the unified field, you can never be sure who won, because, unless you are a candidate for the Pirates of Penzeance, you have and will have more than one relative.
Thus, the trophy will most likely be awarded by one or more obituarists. Many of your relatives will not be aware of your death until the obituary hits the family newletter, meaning they won't have attended the funeral. They are not likely to attend your grave, either, because the cemetary's clerk has gotten one of those Hewlett-Packard color printers and has taken the second digit of your gravesite, say, 21, and overlaid it with a darker colored 'T' on the map...
