Time is just flying by and things are changing really fast in the world. Meanwhile I'm dreaming alot more frequently and feeling creative energies rise to the surface in spite of everything going on around me. Its a trip that I do seem to dream more often if I have "pleasured myself" and it also seems connected to the intensity of said sessions. Its like in that moment of ultimate explosion I am touching the spiritual plane or something. Theres this flash of bright colors and I feel as if a door has opened. No lie. That's the only way I can explain it. Sometimes I get the idea that the secrets of the universe are right there hiding in plain sight but most just don't take notice for whatever reason.
Just yesterday there was a pretty horrific car accident at Labrea and Slauson (An area I used to frequent way back when I lived at Bell Shelter on Slauson and Eastern) This was the transfer point for going into Hollywood after getting off the 108 bus you'd have to wait there for the 212 bus. The whole trip from the shelter to Hollywood was around 2 hours depending on how long the buses took to come and the last one was around 9pmish so you were screwed and stuck if you missed it. Taxi's were NOT cheap either and no one had cellphones back then. A maintenance worker showed me the video of the car crash. It looked like something out of a crazy action movie. You see one car just barrel into others as it sped right thru a red light then you see cars burst into flames and debris flying everywhere. I swear I thought I saw a body fly out. 5 or 6 people died. One car that was carrying a pregnant lady, her 1 year old son and her boyfriend (all on their way to a doctors appointment)...no one survived. People onsite said they saw a baby in the street and tried in vain to save them. Apparently a nurse caused everything and she's in the hospital. They gotta check to see if she was drinking but I think she has already been arrested. There are times when I feel numb to the madness going on in this world yet thinking about this crash fills me with great sadness even though I didn't know anyone in that crash. It just seems so senseless to me. Many times I am in a car with someone and they just go as soon as the light turns green without really bothering to look carefully to check if someone maybe ran the light at the intersection. I was in an accident many moons ago when this happened. A car ran right thru the light and smacked right into the car I was in. I have also witnessed this right in front of my eyes years ago when I lived in Long Beach coming home from work walking from the train station and about to cross the street. Also a few years ago at the intersection near my apartment in Koreatown at 3rd and Vermont. I like driving cars in video games but if I never get my drivers license in the real world I'll not lose any sleep over it. If I do get it I'll drive something REALLY big with alot of protection. Maybe a hummer.
Warner Bros just made the decision to cancel some pretty big projects that were near or actually completed. Alot of money was spent and alot of talented folks won't get to have their work seen. I was actually kinda interested in seeing Batgirl which reportedly cost $90 million. I bought the first Scoob movie so its weird to me they canceled the sequel after already spending $40 million on it. DC can still make their connected universe stuff and simply brand all the standalone stuff as "Elseworlds" and release it either straight to video or some streaming services. Now there are plenty of folks happy Batgirl was canned but many of them seem to be of the caucasian persuasion. I hat that anytime you release a film or book or tv show that features characters who are not straight white males it is automatically branded as woke by people who won't even give it a chance or just judge it more harshly as a result of its protagonists background. The internet affords folks a great deal of anonymity to come out and say a bunch of crazy things that would get them punched or fired in real life then you have the tech savy maniacs who will go so far as to try and hack sites or review bomb stuff with "bots" so it won't do well. I don't know why people go to such great lengths utilizing so many resources and time when the sensible thing to do would be creating something (themselves) truly great since they are so good at criticizing what is or isn't up to standard. I have had people straight laugh in my face regarding my projects and try to tear me down when their own body of work (if there is even one) is suspect. It jsut bugs me how folks have made it cool or fashionable to be hyper-critical and hate everything. I've been told my opinons are suspect because I "like" everything. Thats not true. I just don't hate every damn thing like you do...
