The top of the mountain is like the tip of the iceberg; if you’re standing on one or the other, you’re either lost or you’re found.

Alright, it’s the future; a being of terrific mental ability has the power to read minds and inspire the people – all while living inside the belly of another man. The concept of a pint sized adult male residing inside the stomach of another, looking like a diseased, zombie infected Danny DeVito, while sounding otherworldly is a bit odd; by the looks of him, he ought to be sipping cheap gin with a chewed up cigar dangling from his chapped lips. When I imagine a prophet that can predict my future and save the populace, I don’t imagine that knowledge coming from a balding, greasy’ 56 year old child – please, Kuato, retreat back into your keepers bowels. Forever. Witness the hideous baby man below.

nothing like a little billie holiday to smooth over the rough edges on a quiet sunday. enjoy.

forget if you can –

i wish i had you –

the moon looks down and laughs –

don’t know if i’m coming or going –

they can’t take that away from me –

so it’s a fact that schwarzenegger dominated the silver screen throughout the 80’s and 90’s; his cinematic presence worked well in action (The Terminator), and comedy (Twins), and along with Stallone, he redefined the image of the one man american wrecking ball killing machine. he was a huge dude by any standard; he perfected his physique on the IFBB stage, and that mass made a powerful transition to film. his flicks were not always the best (many of them are incredibly cheese filled), but they delivered the goods like a truck full of golden brew. behold, one of the all time stupidest death scenes is available for your viewing pleasure below; the idea of ripping a friggin’ pipe off the wall, hurling it through the air like a spear, and actually stabbing a guy is bad enough. the worst part is the fact that he actually impales the guy with it- being pinned to the wall with a pipe (and then being told to let off steam) is quite possibly the dumbest thing ever. and i mean ever.

the place where your thoughts
become beautiful words-
the place where sweet flavors
rest and linger-
the place where soft kisses are
blown and received-
that is where my lips will be-
the place where tender whispers
swirl and dance-
the place where smiles spread
their wings-
the place where laughs tumble
and roll-
that’s where my lips will be*

Entry –

life is a womb- we are not merely birthed from it- that is only the beginning. each new day brings with it the power to choose how tomorrow will appear.

nothing can or should remain in the same state forever. like crops, life must be rotated in order to extract everything that’s up for grabs. things remaining in the same place become as stagnant as a bleak pool- longing to merge with a vibrant stream.

waking up is one of the hardest things you can do, but one of the greatest gifts you can ever receive.

If you consider your life fractured or wounded,
think of yourself as a hunk of cheese or a cup of
yogurt. It is curdled and spoiled, but still somehow
manages to be loved by millions.

The next addition to the collection comes from a slightly little known gem from 1990; Quigley Down Under, starring Tom Selleck as American sharpshooter Matthew Quigley. He’s lured to Australia by wealthy landowner Marston, (masterfully played by legendary villain Alan Rickman) who’s in search of a marksman with the precision and ruthlessness necessary to rid his sprawling property of aborigines. Quigley disagrees with the arrangement, and spends the rest of the film picking away at Marsden’s group of thugs. This scene depicts the final shootout between hero and villain(s).

In an airplane emergency, we are instructed to place the oxygen mask on ourselves before placing them on neighbors or loved ones. This is excellent advice, for in order to breathe life into another, we must first breathe life into ourselves.

The next powerhouse entry into the series comes from film maestro Clint Eastwood in one of his early directorial features, “Unforgiven”. The film follows the trail of reformed murderer William Munny, as he and friends (Morgan Freeman and Jaimz Woolvett) set out claim a reward by avenging the savage beating of a woman. According to the film, the legend of Munny’s brutality preceded him, as his name and exploits were well known. Witness below the proof of those tales as Munny does a bit of damage on the local townsfolk….
