I have known for some time that I am manic depressive. But, sometimes that does not explain some of the things I go through. Some times I cry for no reason and sometimes something happens that should upset me but doesn’t.
About 30 minutes ago my mother called me and told me that my great-aunt Polly had died. I don’t feel it yet, but I am sure that it will cause me to break down soon. It was kind of a forgone conclusion. Aunt Polly is 81 years old. Her health had been failing for some time. It was not that much of a surprise. I should feel upset right now because I loved aunt Polly to bits. Why do I not feel anything now?
“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.” “I should think so — in these parts! We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!”
I never realized how obviously in love they were when I was a kid.
Look at you Cartoon Network, subconsciously teaching children about equality…
Courage the Cowardly Dog was nothing but subconscious lessons of racism, love, materialism, skepticism, loss, confidence, forgiveness, imperfections etc, the list goes on. Time and time again courage lives up to his name dealing with life threatening situations to protect the naive Muriel & greedy Eustace. Despite Eustace being a constant jerk to him, Courage still makes the effort to save him, even if Eustace is the cause of his own undoing at the end of most episodes.
I lack a better way of saying this but, it’s probably the deepest childrens show to ever exist. If people think Adventure Time was the first cartoon do anything like this, it’s obvious they’ve never watched Courage. Courage is just a lot more Subtle, and it’s dark & somewhat scary exterior can turn kids away. This’ll sound cheesy and over-analyzing but, that’s the beauty of it, it’s scary and you learn things from having the courage to watch it.
Courage is just one of my all time favorite cartoons. I loved it more than any other shows in the Cartoon Cartoon lineup of classic Cartoon Network.
Truly the greatest lesbian love story ever told!
All joking aside, even as a kid I knew there was more than just friendship between these two. And you know what? I was alright with it. They were happy together, and with help from courage, they escaped the douche bags that tried to keep them apart.
I miss “Courage, the Cowardly Dog”. It was pretty advanced for what it was. Other episode that made you think and feel deeper with only a little effort were “The Hunchback of Nowhere” and “Last of the Starmakers”.
A running theme seemed to be to tolerate those who don’t meet the norm and to live and let live. This is a show that needs to come back. Not just as re-runs but as a whole new production.
“See me in the mirror if you want to. See me in the mirror if you really want to. Maybe not too clear, but the face you’ll see is mine.
Do you feel my eyes burning through you? Do you feel the burn when my eyes see through you? Do you see my eyes when they burn into your mind?
I can feel the teardrops hit the ground where I lay. I can feel you breathing while I sleep through the day. See you in a vision in the dark with no light. Your soul may go to heaven, but your heart’s mine tonight.
See me in the mirror…”

This is funny as hell!
It stars Scootaloo as “Dodo Baggins”!
Toys!
This my “Dawn of the Dead” toy from Japan. I didn’t go there to get it, I just found it at a shop. Its of the character “Blades” played by Tom Savini of course. I have not brought myself to open it, I don’t want to ruin the Japanese packaging. How else will I prove it is from Japan?
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
