TAKING IT TO THE MATTRESS BOTTOMS

Yeah, well...it's doubtful I'd ever feel as if I have enough money to start saving a significant amount of change...so the title of this post is actually more of a joke, for those of you know who about that...
But he is soooooo HOT! See what I did there? That's a PUN! Ha!
But yeah, it's so cool. I love repaint variants. They're just so cool. They're colorful, and they're stupid in a childish/carefree/fun-lovin' kinda way. And hey - he glows in the dark!
The price on Amazon is totally outrageous; Toys 'R' Us should still have some left. I could see $55+ being within reason after TRU sells out and they don't get any more, but...wwww??
Hopefully I can get my hands on one in October, when I (finally) get money. I have $5 now, that's it. Oooooh, I'm so antsy with anticippppppppppppppppppppppppppppppation...

nature vs. beast

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (1971) is often perceived as being sympathic toward Alex, the hoodlum narrator of the story. I think those perceptions are based on the fact that Alex IS the narrator, and thus his feelings about the mind altering drugs the doctors gave him are shed more light on than if a holier-than-thou narrator would have told the story.
It's also interesting how the media kept talking about "changing" his nature and how ashamed the gov't ought to be b/c of it; I mean, nature, pure and simple, changes on its own. And since when has mankind been "natural"? Is being superficial and choosing friends based on social status and lying to them or candy coating the truth and doing anything and everything that doesn't involve genuine human connection NATURAL? Are TVs and computers NATURAL? If so, then I guess kids shouldn't even HAVE parents - they should all be left to their own devices and decide for themslves what's right and wrong. And then be put in prison, 35 years, once out kill again and then be put back.
See, THAT is the moral delemma in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE. People everywhere at the mercy of these heartless teenagers are unable to figure out a solution that everyone can agree on.
Of course, hopefully society won't come to that kind of desperation...

the unintended?

Political views will change, but the route we take to solve society's problems or "problems" will not be easily changed, if at all...

this is why people who feel threatened by Pro-"Life"rs and other dominating Christian types will make The Bible's prophecy of Outlawed Christianity come true. Solution (IMO)? Read my blog; LIVE AND LET LIVE! If it doesn't endanger you, just accept it. Crimany, why the heck is that so hard???

well, I feel like I have something to say on the matter...

...even if I am talking to a brick wall or someone who fails at understanding or agreeing with me...

This concept, I guess I've referred to it b4; people are so damn hypocritical - they always wanna "vote" on IDEAS that have NO IMPACT on the people that vote on them - abortion, gay marriage, etc.; I mean, I know some Christians think they're gonna go to Hell if they don't limit other people's freedoms, but even the ones who don't think that still act like it's some sort of gift or duty or what-the-hell-ever (no idea what the motivation is, b/c apparantly I'm not worthy of an explanation, even though it COULD damn well impact me if I ever got up and got a life...) to vote "Pro-Life" (in a dumpster) rather than "Pro-Choice"...

But whatever. Most of these old farts like W. and W.H. will be dead some day long before I am, and their opinion will be inherited by a minority. Guess I can find solace in that...

i hope i don't forget you

I remember
when my life changed; the view, the feel, the tastes, the scents
the air was crisp, the ground was cool
things were good, as much as they can be in this world
The sounds I heard made me happy; music was sweet

You were a friend to me, someone that made me smile and laugh
Someone who made me feel warm inside
That feeling intensified when you left
Now I feel indifferent, excpet when "Sixth Avenue Heartache" or some Wallflowers song plays on my system for the first time in a long while at such a right time

My all time greatest crush made me feel like nothing I've ever felt, before or since
She just about blew me off my feet and into the air
I stayed there for longer than I should have, lost and intoxicated
Now she means nothing to me, save the feelings I no longer feel or clearly remember

So it goes, lost are the ones who stay away too long, forgotten, meaningless

Except for those times when I come across a song when the air is moving just the right way, a song that strikes me like lightning

But as the time passes, those moments become fewer and farther between

I hope I don't forget you.

inception

gave blood on Monday the 6th at the local movie theater, got done watching INCEPTION at around 4:30pm Wednesday the 8th. I gotta say, I had high hopes for the film, and they were nowhere near met. my caseworker came by today and asked if anything new was happening in my life, and totally forgot to tell her about it. just got done taking a shower (about an hour ago). That's about 2 1/2 days apart from the shower before this one. I guess I'm more ambitious lately. I wrote a little less than a page of a script, like..., a month ago? I was thinking about the idea of the film/script and got all pumped up...I guess I'll be lucky if I'm not dead before I finish it. I Just ate, like...um...idk - 5? servings of peanut butter. It mighta been 8...I didn't measure it, but just one serving is more than I shoulda eaten. I guess I can't feel too guilty about enjoying (slightly over-un-cooled-down) Domino's pizza. At least it got done in the same day as my other evil. I've been walking more, about 30 minutes a day. I think the last time I skipped a day was like either sometime during the weekend or the day preceeding it, maybe Thursday...(not today, I don't wanna walk at night...all the freaks come out at night - aaaaah!).
