perhaps my wild wonderings should end soon,
I think now and then, more and more now,
surfing these waves, haze, daze, all the words
seem staccato, and shrill.
The word “Quit” stands out
but to do what?
(silence and no correspondence, no sealed letters
or maps to tell the tale)
Questions are only my questions, let it be, the quest, no harm meant,
you still are eating fowl.
The word “Quit” stands out
as they shout.
but to do what?
exactly.
that’s where I just keep the boat out all night,
there’s no port to go back to,
no other boats that I can see,
I’m just out in the ocean,
thinking “so what if it storms?”
it’s better than sinking.

The DC Comics character revealed to be gay? The Green Lantern — at least that’s what (Washington) DC’s Metro Weekly says.
I can see that, not all of the characters are gay, but there clearly are gay characters, like any major creative world, of movies or books, with that many writers from 1920s on, clearly there will be gay characters, but really, how would those characters be represented in mass media in those times? there are many underlying references in art and literature that are about seeing the unsaid, can you read between the lines?
not true, but it does feel like it at moments. Yet if you watch this film (BreakfastClub) carefully, you can see how it’s perfect at pointing out the silent gems of filmmaking. IE, the janitor tells them the clock is 20 minutes fast at the 20 minute mark (seriously, check it).
The whole movie is about seeing the perspective from another’s shoes, the shoe shots are key, as are feet placement throughout the movie (watch nelson and ringwald’s feet in the circle of honesty scene)
the posters in the background of the halls name the scenes their action moves in,
and watch Brian the Brain, he couldn’t get an “F”, the flair gun in the locker, the elephant trunk that the light didn’t go off. Look back, the intro “fag” was written on his locker.
It’s one of the most iconic films of youth in America, one of my favorite films ever.
You see us how you wish to see us, in the easiest conventions, how we saw each other before, yet we are so much more.

real talk everyone, if you aren’t registered
and you know where you will be in Nov
no judgment, but can we get our friends together
and just fill out the form, you know?
so we can vote in November!?!
First off, let me warn everyone never to call anyone, an ex, a fired employee, anyone never call someone psycho, It’s cruel, as they likely do have mental illness, and two it’s dangerous, as I told people in high school, when a girl went “crazy” (it’s not me I went “crazy” in college), never tell someone you think is unstable that they are unstable in a bad or judgmental way, as how exactly is that going to help? seriously, if you call someone crazy, (it’s the most dismissive thing you can call someone in my opinion, as it takes their actual feelings of being not heard and you dismiss it, it’s a bad idea) what do you give them permission to do? act crazy. It’s not something we should throw around, as people who get rejected often take it upon themselves to obsess over it, and do you really want that monster? do you? because I sure as hell don’t.
What Am I? (It helps to ask)
I have been called an Empath, Many people have told me I’m the most empathetic person they know, and it’s true, anyone who has ever tested it says I’m the literal highest levels they have ever seen. It’s not always fun. Why?
well, do you know the difference between empathy and sympathy? if you don’t understand the difference instantly, like see it and recognize that that is what makes you hurt or love, then you can’t be an empath. (it sounds good, but it’s incurably painful, sometimes people want to be blind in their own perspective, it makes ever black and white situation grey)
Empathy is when one relates to the situation, meaning, they put themselves in the person’s shoes, they imagine themselves going through whatever situation and then form a judgment. Sympathy is when one in the moment stays themselves, they never become the person or situation in question but they can sympathize, they can relate how they may have some personal experience and relate it to the “other”.
Empaths struggle as they form the connection, they feel as if they are the person in question to a degree, it’s for me a lot like a dream if I really think about the situation or person, it feels real to me, i experience it, but I contiguously understand that it’s not me, I can draw that distinction, yet it feels just as real.
I cannot watch people be embarrassed, I cannot watch people in pain, scary movies, laughing in someone’s face, even if they have reason, I cannot handle revenge, I cannot do the crime, just like hamlet, if I am thinking of what someone would do, I cannot blame them, as I see it through their eyes in a way. I cannot handle many situations as I both blame the person for being truly cruel or selfish or hurtful or blind, yet I can always see their humanity, I never can not see them as a real person. Did any one ever ask me?
because If you level with me and show me your humanity, I cannot not see you as a person, that is why I always say, you do want to level with me, talk to me in person, it’s my glaring weakness. I can point out people being not genuine from miles away, but if you are genuine then I can’t forget it.
is that to say that I always let people get away with doing cruel things? no. I break up with people and I fire people, I have limits as a leader, I have standards and I too am human.
yet it really doesn’t hurt to ask, as I’m self aware. I’m not psycho, I’m stuck caring.
Marlon Brando | Apocalypse Now
I do love this movie, but brando in it is really strange, right? I mean, kurtz I would not have guessed wore an all black thing, he’s really different in heart of darkness (colonial text by Joseph Conrad) from which this film is adapted/inspired from i feel like it blends the two, I do love the film yet he has some descriptions that are just not this, but if you’ve seen hearts of darkness (doc of the making of this film by copolla’s wife) you see how crazy it was to make the movie. First off, shooting in the congo, rainstorms, they had to build the whole huge set three times, it took years to make the movie, they thought it would be a set of months,it took years. Then, Martin Sheen wasn’t even the Marlow Character at first, they replaced him after getting to the congo. That scene where he’s all bloody in the first act, he’s literally drunk and bleeding, like we could never pull that today in film. Then Brando himself, who had been paid a million dollars to do the film never actually read the 80 page novella that is Heart of Darkness, seriously, I have no idea why Brando did that, I don’t know that much about him besides this and I know he’s a legend. I’m not exactly saying he’s bad or anything, but that is crazy right? it’s 80 pages and it’s good, I have no clue how that would happen, you know? anyway, the film is a masterpiece, but if you see how they made it, it was a constant disaster to live.
this jumps out at me, but other people have trouble with it, what is that even called? (it’s the same thing as magic eyes, or other optical illusions I think I’ve just seen a crazy amount of visual information compared to other people, I think it’s that whole saying about “the untrained eye”? I don’t even quite have words for it.
(real talk, ask people who don’t look at a light screen all day, they see differently)
