"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."

-Edgar Allen Poe

An exceprt from the movie 12 Monkeys...

It's a condition of "mental divergence". I find myself on another planet, Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though it's a totally convincing reality in every way...I can feel, breathe, hear...nevertheless, Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, friend?

-L.J. Washington

Exquisite Corpse




Nina says...

Oh Hedwig, my dear. You've taught me the art of imperfection.

"Some girls they got natural ease
They wear it any way they please
With their French flipped curls
And perfumed magazines
Wear it up
Let it down!
This is the best way that I've found
To be the best you've ever seen."


Sparky says...

I've always wanted a chance to be brilliant. A chance to do something I'm good at. A chance to make people understand. A chance to display my so-called imperfections to the world and not only be proud of them, but make the world love them.

Well, maybe not love them. But see them. Really see them.

I have no idea what to do with a dream come true. So I am not calling it that yet. I'm just going to call it getting busy.

But I would be lying if I didn't say I'm holding my breath.


Susie says...

Now now, Sparky. Let's not get carried away.

You can daydream later. For now, please go to bed. Some of us actually work in a few hours.
