I feel like I’ve just had a spiritual experience where information was communicated to me at a root level, data I have only begun to process. It’s as though Aronofsky understood my wordless inner dialogues and somehow translated them into cinematic language. The Fountain is a wonderful piece of art that is too beautiful to be called a film.
Outside the theater everything seemed quiet and desaturated. I moved through the supermarket, ghostlike, wanting to have a conversation with anyone at all or just sit down in the middle of the produce section and cry because some part of my spirit that doesn’t know English was trying to tell me something.

The Fountain
This in not the Greatest Movie in the World
Tenacious D is a glorious rock opera, oozing with comedic genius. Its awesomeness was evident within about 5 seconds when Meatloaf appeared as young JB’s father. The film then proceeded to rule.

New Old Job
I came to the point where I was trying to rapidly weave new segments onto the end of my rope as the anchor unspooled it in swift snakelike coils over the edge of the ship. Might be mixing metaphors there, but suffice to say the situation was dire. I sent out a flare and was instantly rescued by a passing ship.
In other words, I got a part time job at Attorney Locate, where I worked about five years ago. They offered me enough to cover most of my bills. So far it seems like the right choice. Everything fell into place just as it has for the past several years.
Each time I think “This will be the situation where magical thinking fails and my bizarre theories about the universe will be dismantled.” But I am wrong every time.
Calling All Angels
I made this comic for all of my friends, as a gift. I started to write words under the panels, but realized I didn’t need to say anything else.

Wrong Number
Every once in a while, I will get a wrong number call on my cell. Today I got three. Three different people called throughout the day, each asking for a different person: Lisa, Simon, and some other name. My phone is the Nexus of Almost Right.
Art Gallery
I had almost forgotten about this, but there’s an online gallery of all the art I created for one particular client at http://www.terranovachurch.org/gallery/
It’s hard to believe that I generated that much content, but I guess it adds up over the years.
Martial Law + Detention Centers

Here is my conjecture: Bush is now in a position to arbitrarily use the military to round up dissenters and send them off to internment camps which already exist or are being built now. And what would cause such massive dissent as to warrant such military intervention? A nuclear strike against Iran and/or North Korea.
Is Jericho just a television show or an experiment to gauge public reaction to such an event?

How to be Part of the Solution: Freedom to Fascism
Aaron Russo’s documentary, America: Freedom to Fascism is now available on DVD at his website: FreedomToFascism.com. You can also watch it for free on Google video.
While the first half, having to do with the income tax law, is debateable, the second half has very important info about the national ID card and RFID tags.
How to be Part of the Solution: TerraPass
TerraPass is an organization which balances out the pollution you cause when you drive a car or fly in a plane. For example, tell them how much you drive and they will calculate how much eco-friendly energy needs to be sponsored somewhere else in order to balance it out. You buy a pass that covers you for a year. The pass is really cheap. I got one for my car and for each time I get on a plane.
