Our Bodies Remember

If my body truly does remember everything that’s happened to it, I think this is what it would have to say:

“Laying in the warm sun feels nice. Cool breeze. Too bad you won’t remember it”

“The fall from the 3rd story window did not feel good. I don’t care if you thought that bush would break your fall – it didn’t”

“This is a new place to live but you’ve become a lot more conservative with me. You would find out that girl has smooth skin if you would only touch it”

“You were in a fight today but only your heart feels bad”

“You tried to run fast but there were others there who were faster”

“I feel like I’m building to something good but there are too many people around”

“Pressing through these crowded hallways reveals neither pain nor pleasure”

“That watch is too tight”

“It’s good to see you breaking out of your shell”

“Man, the foot is in pain but I know a tetanus shot will fix that discoloration”

“I am strong”

“5 more push-ups? Are you kidding me? No way”

“I can’t believe that, after everything we’ve been through, you still haven’t broken a bone”

“I hate being sick”

“We need to go for more walks”

“I tried to serve you well but you’ve treated my heart like crap”

“It’s like any other day. You just get up and do your chores like normal”

“I know it’s hard and not something you want to do, but get up!”

Top 10 Cartoon Duo's

This time out the subject is Top 10 Cartoon Duo’s. I was only going to make this a Top 5 list but I had so many entries to work with, I added the last 5. Here’s the list is no particular order – wait, that’s not right… 10. Ren & Stimpy: Call this entry the ‘Odd Couple’ of the group. A cat and a dog (I think) living together and making their way despite their obvious instincts to be sworn enemies. I have to admit that this cartoon was hard to watch sometimes because of the ‘gross’ nature of both characters – pooping and boogers a big part of the vernacular. “Oh, Re-e-e-n?”, “Yes, Stimpy!” 9. Inspector Gadget & Penny: An uncle and his niece go around solving crimes against Dr. Claw. It was actually Gadget and his dog, Brain, that tried to solve the crimes and Penny that actually solved them. She would tell Brain the solution and that crazy dog would expend a great deal of energy trying to make the Inspector understand the solution. Finally, when Inspector Gadget would ‘stumble...

Ending in "O"

I happened to see two movies today with no apparent link until I noticed that they both ended with the letter “O”. I didn’t plan that. First up, Superman and I went to see “Juno”. Every year around this time Superman makes a flight of fancy to see every picture nominated for Best Picture of the Oscars. I don’t have a problem with it, I just think it’s interesting. “Juno” is basically about a 16 year old, high school junior who has gotten herself pregnant. She immediately decides the best thing to do is to give the baby up for adoption. So she and her stereotypical air-headed, cheerleader friend check the ‘Penny Saver’ for a good couple to give the baby to. (yeah, that's where *I'd* go...) So they find a well off couple that lives in a nice neighborhood, with a nice house and nice furniture. Nice, right? Well, Juno falls hook-line-and-sinker for the couple and even feels the need to try and connect with them. I guess, for me, it wasn’t about what was seen in the movie but what ...

The Memory of Lists Past

I was cleaning out a closet tonight and found a lot of papers that held some kind of memory for me. Some were newspaper articles, some were funny memos... most were written or drawn by me. I came across the following, entitled "List for 1990": 1. Reorganize your life 2. Evaluate your feelings 3. Take a risk but be smart 4. Take care of #1 (yourself!) 5. Don't do anything you don't want to do 6. Reward risk-taking 7. Don't be afraid 8. Change the way you do things 9. Go somewhere when you get bored, don't just sit around 10. Find out how to take a compliment 11. Generally be more aggressive 12. Don't worry how other people feel 13. Learn to like yourself 14. Have fun! You will note that some things never change. It's most interesting to see what I thought about myself back then. Just thought I'd share...
