my neighbors called the law on me since i was talking to the ravens...they are as smart dogs (or smarter...the ravens not my neighbors) and their interests go further than food...but food is a good introduction to any animal...the hummingbirds fly over and let me know if the feeder is empty....the weather is so much hotter than in the past and i am thinking about getting a large water container so i can put out water for the wildlife
well lets see three memorials dedicated to the memory of mr emmet till a 14 year old who was kidnapped and murdered by white men in mississippi in 1955...i was only one year old then so i remember nothing of the incident...i do have a memory of being traumatized when i was a young person and there was civil unrest (riots) in the town where i was living and a well known local newsman went with the television crew to a predominantly black section of town and the news anchor was beaten by the mob and suffered such severe brain damage that he never recovered and we would sometimes see him around town being pushed around in his wheel-chair...we had a window broken out in our apartment and it was pretty traumatizing...it was hard not to blame the entire black community for the damage from the riots...but of course only a small fraction of the black community participated in them...sometimes it seems that a lot of black people want to blame all white people for all the troubles they have suffered from "systemic racism"...i know when i was young we would go to the A&P food store once a month and there were two water fountains in the back...one for white one for colored...i use to wonder what in the hell could these colored people have that was so bad that they needed a separate water fountain...it must have been a bit of a shock to little black kids to see that they could not drink from one of the fountains...anyhow...i did not have anything to do with that...but i have heard that there is a new museum in Charleston (carolina i suppose) called the "INTERNATIONAL AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM" I was pleased that it bills itself as an INTERNATIONAL museum...so now i hope we can get them to tell us who the tribal chiefs were in africa that agreed to sell the africans that were captured for the "slavers...slaving is a very long a prosperous form of international trade...it is good that it be scrutinized but it may be that what happened then is not very relevant today...i was not there...i am not guilty of anything...i am white and guiltless...i enslaved nobody, i killed nobody and i did not put up any signs o the water fountains...i did have my window broken..
so the fellow who escaped to north korea would have been better off to crawl into his own butthole...serves him right...i have been thinking about the musk mellon and his X company...i think if the guy just wanted to do an all porn site and dominate that business (lets face it X is a good start) he would never go broke...which brings me to the movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" which i watched again...or at least parts of it...the first time was with testosterone and this time without...the first time the exciting parts had to do with the "dominance" scenes...the second time i was aroused when the woman said "Don't Touch Me" after the 6 licks...and when she told him not to get in the elevator...now i want to question the relationship dynamic...Grey was a very wealthy man...he was naturally going to dominate...6 licks leads to 8 licks leads to a bit of chokings and so on an so forth...Ernest Becker wrote that S&M leads to abuse...however there are some people who much prefer that sort of relationship...but it does not stop in bed...celibacy is not an alternative...you got to work things out...i see in the last of the GREY movies the couple get married ...i dont think mr grey can be cured of his HABIT of dominance...or anyone else for that matter...
well the law finally pinned down the evidence on the culprits who killed TWO PACK...the hip hop entertainer/icon...if you watch "Thug Angel" you can see why the cops were in no big hurry to find his killer... TWO PACK is on a gun range showing his fire power and bad mouthing the cops...DUH!...i'm sure the cops were motivated by that...anyhow the rapper is still dead...a lot of people don't know that TWO PACK was a student of a theater school in new york before his radical mother moved him to a dangerous part of California...her black panther days made her instill some very negative attitudes into A man who was not particularly violent or hateful...
i was watching "Lawrence of Arabia" again and was struck by the line that Omar Sharif (Ali) says at the well after he has shot to death Lawrence's guide "He was nothing, the well is everything"...this is undoubtedly where human relations are headed as all resources become scarcer...
i watched several films in the last two weeks...i also read some articles about film...there is a russian film-maker called Andrei Tarkovsky who said the "The aim of art is to prepare us for death"...one film critic said of one of the characters in his film "she holds fast against the tide of male neurosis rising around her." damn! i think we are at flood stage now!...Ingmar Bergman said "When film is not a document, it is a dream." some of the stuff i have viewed has been described as VULGAR..."Frisky Dingo" (adult swim" falls into that catagory...as does "a million ways to die in the west"...both use "vulgarity" to make their point...i watched "Week-end in Havana" (1941) color 80 minutes...it has commentary by Jeanine Bassinger which is well worth listening to as she has much information to impart which makes the film more interesting...there is a woman named Cobina Wright Jr. who decided to name herself after her mother...not a common thing...and Carmen Miranda has a spotlite as well as Cesar Romero...a great Latin dancer born in New York...and Leonid Kinskey who played the bartender in "Casablanca and played the bell-hop in this movie should get recognition for his performance...
Vulgar=from the Latin vulgaris from vulgos = common people...
