Don't ask me why. The universe works in mysterious ways. And my whole week was only a precursor to the weekend in ways only now that I am uncovering.
People, actually friends, at work were showing me some pretty non-PC pictures just for the shock factor. I claimed my week was ruined as a defensive maneuver. The same friend then filled me in that my friend accidentally gave up the supposed DDS (deep dark secret) of his girlfriend's mom working there. Hilariously enough, I don't know why they were still hiding it. So many people could pick out the idiosyncrasies of the daughter and the mom that to them it was just fine to let my friend and his GF continue on thinking they were hiding something from us. Its a secret but it is in no way dark.
I got a fortune cookie saying I would try a new thing and like the results. I thought I had opened my friends by accident considering we both threw ares into a pile. I like knowing what I grabbed is mine. Mixed in by fate to be somewhat true. I only need to know if reading such things causes what it says to happen to happen. But that calls for experimentation, where as I currently like the system in place.
Later I met up with more friends to got some food at the NEW Sonic in Ferndale. We spent a little while talking to the order-taker through the menu list. If you've been to a Sonic then you know what I am talking about. Anyways the girl gave me her number and for the first time in my life I've been assertive in pursuing such things. Its an odd feeling considering that last week I was a little concerned at whether I would be able to commit to such games. Trying a new thing I am.
The next day, I came across my friend looking into space. Eventually he gave in. His deep dark secrets I now know. I couldn't see this coming. I was surprised and at the same time struck with awe at how the hell he could hold such a things inside of himself for more than a decade. Although I left with a scar from the knowledge now in in my mind, its to make his scars a little less deep. And I am fully willing to do that as a friend.

And so it takes the path of least resistance.
Work is going well. We've had the SMT line up and I've been getting good overtime.
It pays money, and I like money. I like money because having this particular IBD is expensive. And I've finally convinced myself for all of my futures sakes to diet on a much more tightened and strict list of "good" foods. Hopefully this will pay off and I won't have to go on more medications like I was when first diagnosed. I definitely have respect for many people who are able to face life changes and truly challenge them without breaking down. I've not done so, especially in these last months. Caught staring at the ceiling wondering where it all went wrong? Why didn't have I more fun when I was young?
My whole body needs to rest too. How am I supposed to get better if I ain't sleeping.
Maybe I should get to it then, instead of writing blogs.

So the confusion lifts
Why is it that everything I thought I knew about people changed. Is it because I have changed. Just like watching a movie many years later, its the same movie yet its different because you are different. It seems like everyone is doing crazy stuff again. Without logic or reason, or for that matter any connection to what was said by them just a week before. Is this what they've become. What I was? A confused individual depressed that the present to the future had no good news for me.
Is everyone crazy or has all of my craziness stacked up to this? Am I now normal in what I thought was a lame direction of life. Have I gotten out of my shell long enough to fully understand the situation that others have gotten themselves into. Some of them shrinking instead of growing like the rest of us.
As people we grow, we chase what makes us happy. We collide over interference from others in pursuing our dreams. Some hold onto what they want even though they can't have it.
Maybe, but just maybe, they'll get it.
For if dreams never came true, then we'd stop having them.
And I hope for my friends sake, that he can let go of the past. I don't want him to hurt himself. He's helped me out some, and I've helped him out alot. I don't need a returned favor, I just don't want to have to rescue him.

No divine intervention here
In all its complexities, what is known as fate, requires that you interact. No divine intervention here.
In order to be seen and known you have to get out there.

I watched the Watchmen
I'm still feeling very good after seeing that movie. In a caveat though I wish I was able to experience the whole graphic novel before hand. I had read over it in about a total of 45-minutes. And this was skimming too. Anyways that aside, the movie was great. The music although maybe badly mixed at times included a well arranged soundtrack. As far as I know, none of the tracks were original. But this does not hamper the film in anyway. We are talking about a movie that was supposed to occur back in that same year that Marty Mcfly made that trip back 30 years into the past remember. We are talking about a universe where Richard Nixon uses these superhumans to win the Vietnam war, and therefore succeed in allowing him and his cabinet a 3rd term.
This is a fantasy universe of our past, a past where the world will end. Nuclear arms tensions between Russia and the US are at an all time high. 4 Minutes to midnight being it's peak. I knew these things when I entered the theater. I could of saved a dollar waiting in line for 20 seconds but Fandango insured I get in ahead of the other 20 people. So here it goes...
I'm getting the feeling I'm tired of superhero movies. Maybe Spiderman 3 just left that bad of a taste in my mouth. I really liked the Spiderman movies til that point, as I felt like Peter Parker but this about the Watchmen. This movie may have reinvigorated that thought of being powerful against tyranny, against the sins of man for the light of justice. This film is more than just superhero movie.
It is a movie, of people placed in a situation where some are powerless, some are both powerful and all-knowing. Super villains though mentioned are missing, although this is arguable. That's where this movie and the book makes its stake. It places the viewer or for the novel, the reader, on a journey of emotions and sacrifice. Not against a specific enemy but the whole journey of moral questioning that would occur to those responsible for justice. Being a superhero is harder than it looks. They are still human, although some may have forgotten how to be human. Is it worth holding a secret of why many lives were lost to prevent complete destruction of the Earth. Is the Earth worth keeping. As many scenes from the film will show you, we are bloody, we are sexy, we are viscious, we are compasionate, and we can be emotionless.
Most of the graphic intensity te be witnessed later in the film can be some upped by a very well crafted opening credits sequence to the tune of "Times they are a changing". From WWII to the present of 1985, news items and notable events, are remixed to include the pasts first heroes. The JFK assanination shown in gruesome detail, the burning monk shown for too long. This is what happens in real life, this is what already did happen. If these things make you queasy then see this film at your own discretion, remember it's from an adult comic book. If these feelings leave you fairly quickly then, maybe you should spend less than ten bucks to see this film. But make sure you have a 3 hour gap in your schedule.
