I haven’t posted anything here of late, but no, I’m not dead
and I’m not in a coma. Just busy, and working at (emotional) load limit in
several directions. Bouncing deep into the overloads on intellect and
perception as well, but for the first time in a quarter century it’s the emotional
that hit limit first.
This fine work of womanhood is totally how I envision Ms. Catherine Omega Winterwalk in the story "The Care and Feeding of Unicorns" |
Been writing a lot on what started out as a story that rapidly
turned into a book, ‘The Care and Feeding of Unicorns’, the synthesis of
the emotional content of the Omega affair of a few years back. To full tell
that tale has put me into places I had yet to go in my quest to know myself
well enough that no one can take advantage of me by knowing me better than I
know myself. Seen some deep introspection these past weeks, I’ve got several contract
crews working in Escherville. Some of ‘em are using dynamite, and Blackwater Security
got nothing on my battalion of mercenaries protecting them while they work.
With that underway I’ve also been watching the current
political circus as the momentum of the last fifty years is in the process of
running headlong into the walls of reality. The dis-quality of the major
players is shredding the camouflage and covers of so many low level collective
entities it’s really not funny. It’s like seeing Wall Street and Madison Avenue
stripped nude to naked and not knowing their clothes went away, watching them
walk around buck nekid still doing business like the tailor who sewed the Emperor’s
new clothes had taken them on for customers. Yea, there’s a few who aren’t that
bad to look at, but damn… denim and sackcloth would do wonders for the rest of ‘em.
Side note: I’m planning to vote Libertarian this cycle. A
third party president couldn’t be any more of a threat to the national welfare
than what’s top of the ticket on the other two. The same constitutional checks
and balances are in play, and a third party potus would of necessity have to be
a consummate negotiator to get anything done, to negotiate from a position
solid enough to make anything happen would require recruiting the people
themselves to the cause, ergo, that potus’ best option would be to be as
transparent an administration as possible and recruit the best of the other two
sides into their cabinet.
The other two parties, divided and all but disgraced by what
split them, would be unable to hide their partisan bullshit and old boy/girl corporate
commitments in the face of a potus not part of their machine who could and
should reprise the old FDR fireside chats of years gone by to give the American
People his side of the story set in a political soap opera waaaay to steamy hot
for Brazilian TV. All they show is sex while the perversions where the political
meets the corporate make a thirty head Viagra saturated pansexual orgy on an
indoor kindergarten playground look totally tame by comparison. All that might
require by way of clean up would be soap and a garden
hose running warm water, maybe a supply of ice packs and some anesthetic hemorrhoid medicines for those
the victim of bad aim or overly enthusiastic.
Sheeesh… sorry about that. Didn’t really mean to load you up
quite that heavy. Anyway, no reason potus can’t put a paw down on Zuckerberg’s
farm* just like the rest of the world. *(aka facebook… seems I remember the farmer
who owned the farm whence was set the cute little kids’ story about Charlotte’s
Web shared a name with the facebook founder).
THINK about who you’re gonna vote for… this one may wind up in the history books like the fight between Augustus Caesar and Mark Antony did. All serious folks, this one will mark history even more than electing President Obama did.
Other things are in the works as well, but for now they’re
not ready for prime time, so… I share back to the internet universe a couple of
pictures found there, and take it back to the other machine that does not get
connected to the devil wire to go back to work.
Catch ya'll later...
That... would be me on the right... |
Rough ride, huh?
ReplyDelete*chuckle* Rough? That's what the dog said when the gravel arrived. What's proving far harder than I'd anticipated is filtering me out of my characters... not the same lives, not the same motives. Close, but not the same. Such filters are, of course, a work of introspection. You got to know you to know what you'd do as opposed to what they would do.
DeleteYes, that's the difficulty. And sometimes your characters surprise you. I've done enough writing to see that. :)
