Reasoning with monsters

I don't know if it was just me but I always imagined I could reason with monsters in movies. Wouldn't it make a wonderful virtual reality computer game. You walk up to monsters and try reason with them.

I would go, hey Freddy Kruger, I have brought two pizza boxes, my Nintendo and a shared dislike of teenagers. I would say ,Freddy you think 90s teenagers are bad. Millennium ones glue themselves to the road to save the environment and they give patronizing speeches to world leaders. Chill out with me and I will tell you all about it.

Then I would walk up to the girl from "the ring" and say hey sis, I got some onion rings and hot water bottles and towels. Tell me what he did. I'm the brother you never had. I have art stuff for drawing pictures also.

Then I would go up to a Xenomorph from the aliens movie with a goat and say look at the lungs on that thing. Then I would sing "especially for you" by Jason Donovan and I would wear my vest. Singing, "Together, together, I want to show you my love is all so true" "now take this goat and infest it's lungs with goo" and if I get one note wrong it would bite my head off.

What a computer game.

Six means something

One thing I always noticed is that the number six has a very deep meaning.

Half a dozen is 6 and many products are sold in units of 6

There are six distinct colours in the spectrum of visible light. There are six different types of quarks that make up all the atoms in the universe. Insects have six legs.

It is written in the scriptures that God created the universe and everything in it in six days then he rested on the seventh day, the Sabbath. That parable is open to interpretation. Like how long a day is in the story and whether God slows down time and stuff like that.

There is just something about that number.. I will look into how that number fits into everything.

Art confusion

The year 2017 is nearly over and one thing that has not changed is my confusion about modern abstract art.

When I see modern art I don't understand it, I see a meaningless expression. I also don't understand why it is so valuable.

I could make a random scribble on paper and get paid many thousands of bucks if I knew the right people.
It's not fair in my view because I work so hard and I get a small payment. Someone draws a wonky line on paper and they get more than my annual salary.
If the art work had meaning and was fine or showed outstanding skill then I would accept it's value. But to me, it is not outstanding to create meaningless abstract images. If I was to find out that my tax money pays for these projects then I would be angry. I don't want to be angry so I don't try to find out. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

I think that most beings that read my writings don't exist in my time. They are not born yet or made yet. If you are reading this in the distant future from my time and don't understand modern abstract art then you are not alone, I share your confusion.

Carrie Fisher dies

Well, I wrote my end of year review a bit early this year because Carrie Fisher died. I guess the last few days of the year still have history to yield. Next time I will post my review on the last day of the year. I hope that the family of Carrie Fisher are OK.

I was never a big fan of star wars but must admit that it was a big movie franchise.  It is still strange how so many VIP people died this year. I'd say it was fodder for conspiracy theorists. I just think it is a fluke. One of those years when stuff just happens.

First winter as a married man

Last month I got married to my darling Cinthya. The winter has arrived in full force, the last 3 days have been foggy and quite cold. I have a pain in the head just above my left eyebrow for some days now and I'm not sure why, I'll blame the weather.

I am left handed and have never worn a ring before so it took some adjusting but I am wearing my ring every day now. My thinking is different now because it is not about me, it is about us as a pair. 

There are some things that will never change, this blog is my blog and it is my history. All my media creations are still mine but everything else is about us and not me and her. Our time, our recreation, our life plan and our future.

This whole year has been very strange, many celebrities have died and the Eurosceptic community had their say and won the vote to leave the EU, the year is nearly over now. What will 2017 be like? I hope it will be the best year yet.
