i dyed my hair

I think after the show opens I'm going to put myself in a 24 hour Bander Bubble. I want to try listening more. Not to people, but to the sounds around me. I'm losing my mind... I know this. I'm crazy and I need to act on more whims so I'm going to actually do this.

This post has no content. Really, my brain has been empty for the past week which is why I dont have any new posts.

i wish i were the moon

The smell in the air is wonderful. It reminds me to be happy, and to breathe. I learned several years ago that if you are aware of your breathing, you can better express your emotions and calm yourself down very easily. I think a lot of that has been lost as we stay indoors more and more and venture out rarely.

The moon was not visible tonight.

memories

I was looking at myself in the mirror (surprise) and realized that I have a lot of scars. I have scars from work, scars from doing stupid things, scars from the stage, emotional scars, scars from when I was a kid and from last night.

I don't hate any of them, or regret any of the actions I did to get them. They are memories that have shaped me to who I am today. For example, I have a scar on my left leg just above my shin. I was always told to avoid the scrim on stage and to always look at where I was going. Summer of Music Man (2001) final dress rehearsal and my 16th birthday, I left the stage and was about to reenter. I saw the scrim and knew it was about to come up, so I did a quick 180 to avoid it. Unfortunately I ran right into a bench and took a huge chunk out of my leg. I had to go on stage with my leg gushing blood. That scar reminds me of so much - the people and places of one of my favorite summers. It reminds me of eating pies at McDs after rehearsal, and getting my driver's license and not being able to merge into the carpool lane at 7:30 AM.

I can tell this will be a memorable year. I have several scars on my hands already and a couple more forming from things like, dropping the Crow's Nest on my thumb, or running into a wickedly sharp piece of plywood. Already I have memories, happy and sad, associated with these.

Much worse than the physical scars are the emotional scars that people have left me and I have left myself. When Todd died in 2001, that left a gash that I'll always remember. I still find myself crying when I go back to that entire day's events. I have caused emotional pain to myself and others, and that embarrasses and frustrates me but also reminds me of what I need to do.

I have no witty conclusion at my fingertips now, but as I type, I look at my hands and know what I have to do.

comic book movies

Here they are, in all their glory, the best comic book movie series of that past 7 years:

5. Batman
Long. The effects were cool and the story was solid. Finally a Batman movie that did justice.

4. Spider-Man
With just enough of a goofy style to make it reflect the comic book, the series has been great in every aspect.. but the actors.

3. Fantastic 4
Great spfx, HOT babe, and just the right amount of comedy to make it a winner.

2. X-Men
Everyone loves the X-Men. A wide range of powers, and Huge Jackman make the series reflect the comic very well and keep our attention as movie goers.

1. Ghost Rider
If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. It rocks. In every way. They don't go into a lot of the story, nay, there is so much story they can't go into it all, so those unfamiliar with the comic book may be confused. But still, awesome effects, great music, a babe, and a good story progression make this my #1.

goodbye, cruel world
