Life And Death In Celluoid

-


I do nothing but worry.


I rush into things.


I cannot stay focused.


I have very bad memories.


Dilemma:
A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones.


Logic is all nonsense to me.


I have always felt trapped and redundant.


I find socializing a strain.


The days blend into months and become years.


The world is a fearful place and I am alone.


I am always being singled out.


Having proved myself I lose interest in any project.


My artwork is the same thing over and over again..
.

...as are my dreams.


I think I'm perfect in every way...


...yet my sins are always here to stay.


There is no escape in this life or the next.


Between the motion

and the act

Falls the Shadow


I recommend "That Hell-Bound Train" by Robert Bloch.  All aboard! 
 

As we can see within this frame, form and nothing are the same!


I feel twisted inside.


Oh, well.  Laugh and the world laughs with you...


...weep and you weep alone.


I am beset by convictions of reference.


Is it me, or is it everyone else?


Sometimes things are not as they should be.


If I shout loud enough then Heaven shall listen!
                                                                                 
 Yet...


Yet nothing!  This is what is meant to be,


but I do not learn from history.


Hickory dickory, Doc!


Fill in the blanks.  The w--- is at the d---.  What could this mean to the narrator?  Discuss.


It may be Hell but I love mornings.


One day at a time, after all.


 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life!

The Back Cover   https://youtu.be/OKGCaiZDV28 Andrew the Bee is one of the extremely talented artists and writers I know from DeviantArt.  Andy is as good as any artist there is and it is an delight to be able to put up his work on my site.  We did this before but because the post depended on my knowledge of computer files it may have fallen a tad flat.  Here is the earlier version of this essay about a comics genre that I knew nothing about before reading all this. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2020/01/jungle-comics-safari.html https://www.deviantart.com/andibi

Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible! Photos by Steve Davis. The man who killed them.  Sheriff.  Regulator. Murderer. https://books.google.com/books?id=PUvanZiwzdUC&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq=john+and+crockett+choate+death+jack+hel...

The Madonna Of Stalingrad

Image
This superior drawing is known as the "Madonna of Stalingrad".  It was drawn by Lt. Kurt Reuber, a doctor and a protestant pastor.  It measures 3' by 4', and is charcoal on the back of a Soviet map.  It reads, running down the left side, Christmas at the siege, Fortress Stalingrad, Light, Love, Life.  It was flown out by his battalion commander (why was an officer leaving, his place was with his men) on what Wikipedia says is the last flight out but I dispute that.  Could be, though.  Reuber died in a work camp.  He drew another before his death.  The original is on display at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin. The Prisoner's Madonna.  Reuber. The Germans starved their POW's to death, by policy.  The Russians then starved their German prisoners to death, by policy.  Of the 91,000 6th Army prisoners, 6000 would return home a decade later. 'The Eastern Front was the armies of two mass murderer...
