The Creation of Lions

Back when the world was still one continent, there was a band of Amazons.  The women hated the men and their domineering ways.  They chose a few to keep for breeding and invited the others to a dinner.  The women used witchcraft to concoct a potion which they gave the men in their drinks.  This potion turned the men into lions with really short dicks.  The men were confused and frightened at their sudden transformation and fled.  Later, the men got together to retaliate.  The women were over confident for they had made the male lions too strong.  The women decided that to be more evenly matched they should turn themselves into lions, and they drank the potion.  The men, fueled by vengeance, were still stronger and overthrew the women.  From then on the males forced them to have extremely short bouts of non-pleasurable sex over and over.  They were also forced into the labor of hunting and child-rearing.

Song of the day is Who Says by John Mayer!!  

It's like we both said 'I Like You'

Have you ever checked out that animated 3D porn or whatever it is? It's weird.  It's like watching animated (almost said reanimated. Haha ZOMBIE BARBIES!) barbies have strange plastic sex.  Do they know they are infertile? Someone should tell them.  But who are we to take away their bliss.  Mules are sterile but do we stop them from gettin' freaky?

I need a deep thinking movie to watch. I've decided upon Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.  One of my favorites.

Dry times are the absolute worst times.

Oh resin how you are so wonderful.  How could you just decide to erase a part of your memory. I wish you could experience both keeping and getting rid of the memory.  So you could go back if you wanted.  I think all our memories are important.  But if you have a memory of erasing two years of your life and then finding out about it then cant that be the experience that is important?

Slow progression in reverse. It would be strange to be remembering the things as they are being erased.  Jumping all around.  Telling the story.  Hey the pothead friend is Tobias Funke from Arrested Development! ^_^

I don't like fighting.  In couples.  Well not really in any way (except maybe a good rpg).  But I don't like when wives throw things at their husbands or when husbands are portrayed as idiots.  I think it's not true at all, but it probably is.  I don't want to have that with my future husband.  I want to bicker with subtle jabs at each others ego.

It's funny that he almost gets hit by a car (with the possibility of dying) and he is on his way to erase his memory.  It's interesting because it should put things into perspective for him (Joel [Jim Carey]).

Mmm tingly tingly.

I almost got to go on this beautiful trip today, but then my ride never showed up.  I was so completely sad about it.

See I'm not a party-er.  I like to sit at home.  Have a bowl.  Make some pasta or a sandwich.  Maybe turn on some Married With Children and fire up the warcraft.

I like when Joel starts realizing that he is erasing her.  What a weird realization it would be to come to and experience.  It's too bad he cant remember the experience of forgetting.  Will he? They are erasing the parts with Clementine in them. So in the parts where he is just confused trying to turn around will little blips of memories within memories come through?

Haha I just had a moment.  I'd tell you but I'll keep it a secret because I like having secrets.  Just falling around and doing the scenes and then remembering that he is erasing her.  It's an odd juxtaposition.

I want peas...

Song of the day is Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix!!! I am a Hendrix fanatic! I love his grinding guitar.  Gives me the vapors.

incredulously,
Mav

Mmmm... I want corn.

Sometimes I just sit there listening to people talk like I care what they are saying.  It's always 'he said this' and 'she said that' and 'I just don't understand'.  It'll work itself out.  Obsessing about it isn't going to change it.

I bought From Hell with Johnny Depp (my favorite actor) and I have decided to make this the movie of the week (month? whatever it is.  Movie of the time being). It's a really great movie about Jack the Ripper.  Give it a look-see and you will look.  And you shall see.

I'm on a Johnny Depp spree because tonight I am watching Secret Window.  I love it so much!  I also love the other actor in Secret Window, John Turturro.  He is amazing.

I've decided I want to learn to roll really well.  Because in the movie From Hell he rolls this black cigarette on camera and then lights and smokes it and it is so sexy.  I want to be that good at it.  It's Johnny Depp love week because I've been watching his movies and discussing him haha. I wonder if there is a commentary on the From Hell disc.  I'll have to look.  I love listening to commentaries.  Especially on quiet movies because then its really quiet too.

This is gonna be a short one because I am tired and have to get some rest before I have to work at 1230.  SHOOT ME!

Sweet Dreams,
Mav

Song of the day is Little Room by the White Stripes!!

The Red Pill

I wish I could organize my iTunes into different times in my life and I could have a "now" playlist that is just always shuffling.  It automatically adds and deletes songs and categorizes and re-categorizes.  That would be so badass.  Why isn't the word 'badass' a word yet?  It has it underlined in red on this site.  Whatever.

I wonder a lot how much time I have.  I wonder if it's already decided somewhere or if I am the one that survives. I wonder if there really is religion and say it's one where you are reincarnated and depending on how good or bad you were you get to have a better or worse next life or whatever.  Anyway. If it is like that and we just have to live here and wonder and not get to know then that is stupid.  Why not just tell us? I feel like that is a really interesting thing to think that if religion is so good then why does it keep so many secrets? To have power over those of us that want the information.  Why can't we just know we are going to have a thousand lives. Then we can at least know what we are working towards.

Sometimes I try to act like I'm all cool about actually knowing nothing about the world/social order/ religion/ afterlife thing.  I say things like, "There are just some things we just probably aren't supposed to know," and people think I am so at peace and at-one with the universal flow and importance and existence.  But seriously I question these things.  I think it's ridiculous to believe it's ok to stop questioning the world.  If we stop questioning then we stop growing as individuals in spirit and consciousness.

I think there is something to be said about the person is just so chill about the finality of things.  How many people are actually cool with being dead tomorrow?  It's a scary thing.  Because it's the ultimate situation of being thrown into the unknown.  We have no idea what happens after we die! We have all these ideas and religions that think they know what happens but no one actually knows.  They just feed us their ideas and we believe in whichever one sounds the most likely to maybe possibly happen.
But I also think to get to the point where you are really chill with finality you  have to have already gotten to the point where you see your inter-connected-ness and importance in the greater span of what we believe is time.  Which is a huge thing.  Sometimes I just feel so inconceivably small in the concept of time.

Maybe the best rout to nirvana is through music.  The song of the day is Heart Shaped Box.

We Shall Scrimp and Save

Well kids its Spring break on this end of the rabbit hole.  Notice I said this end not a particular end by which you may triangulate my location but merely this end which is ambiguous as can be. Teehee where am I?

Today's song of the day I'm gonna say it right now because it is on my mind and I don't want to forget.... it is Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce!!!
I love this song so much.  It is almost haunting.  Jim I love you.

How awesome would it be if we could recognize our peak in our lives and we can choose to just stop our lifetimes there and live there forever.

Why are we here? What is this purpose? When are we gonna start asking the scary questions like what if things really do end.  Because what is past the universe? There has to be something. But if there is nothing then it must just end.  They say the universe is expanding.  What is it expanding into? Did nothing get an infection and now this something that got on it is taking over...   And then if there is something past the universe or even if there is nothing, humans can't comprehend nothing.  We never experience nothing, ever.  It's impossible.  In our world there is always something and nothing is a hugely abstract concept.  It's a frightening concept.

Did any of you ever watch the never ending story as a kid? well all the people are afraid and running because the nothing is going to swallow them up.  Just that there is a force bigger than everything and it's nothing.

I am so glad to be home for spring break.  It's just oh so nice to be out of Oxford.  I get such a cooped up feeling there.  Hopefully I'll have more time to post this next week.

Your's sincerely wasting away,
Mav

Back in the Ford of Oxen

It has been such a long time since I updated, and I am terribly sorry about that.  I'm watching That 70's Show and Kelso and Fes just hallucinated a pink horse from being drunk.  WTF?  Sorry kiddies, that just doesn't happen.  Beer will only hurt you and make you sad.  Or kill you.
I've been home the past few weekends.  More and more I am feeling that I hate it here in Oxford and cannot wait to go back to Birmingham.  Arda likes it better in Birmingham.

Hot Pockets are so good!!  I have the four cheese...delicious.

I got new grey high tops and I love them.  I've got a little sore spot on my pinkie toe.  Donna is so uptight on this show.  She gets mad at eric for every damn thing.  And she always storms off like it is the most offensive thing ever!  And shes kind of butchy and thick anyway.  I don't know.  It's like a Marilyn Monroe kind of thick, but not as good looking. Haha. Jackie and Kelso don't need to be together.

Look at me getting all into this show.  It's interesting if you think about how tv shows are filmed.  When they are sitcoms then you can tell it's on a stage but when it's a drama it seems to be filmed on location a lot more with actual outside and stuff.  It's interesting.

Haha I just heard some people in the hall doing the christmas carol that goes like ha haha ha  ha haha ha...whatever anyway it sounded like honking geese.  Eric and Donna are gross together.

It has to be  weird to do a scene where you are sitting in your figurative coffin.  I want to be cremated

I ate too much chex.  They are just so delicious.

I'm so ready for break next week.  Every day I get excited that it's just a little closer.  It's not even like I'm doing anything cool, it will just be nice to not be here.

Song of the Day is Sail by AWOLNation!!!
I am in LOVE with this song.  It blows my mind.

I'll be updating more now.

Sedately,
Mav
