on the precipice

* standing on the precipice of the rest of my life  as are you -

wondering if apprehension, resignation, expansionism, naturalism or stoicism

will be my running buddy, confidante, consigliere, wingmanperson, foil or comic relief

while i continue to tread tamped time with intrepid steps in sneakers

eschewing stiff soles & sore toes, scuff marks on treasured terra;

a sub-macro goal for this simple soul.

someone said you never walk alone,

except when you're trying to collect a debt, then -

it's o solo mios 'til you get the cheetos.

nonetheless, it's a rarity to quest without an angel or devil by your side ( not on your shoulders, like in the 'toons...)

also known as having an ace up your sleeve, a good luck charm in your pocket, or the blues' lament of being born under a bad sign.

so, who's the wingperson to help me pull the pretty premise ( & their friends ) from the providential bar or club to take home & romance?

my money’s on authentic naturalism, if i was a bettin man...

that's my burgeoning novel's projection & i'm sticking to it. peace. * 7/23 - lebuc - on the precipice

Chat GPT sussed me out!

Chat GPT, analyze some of my January poems, please:

“These poems explore themes of self-reflection, societal issues, and the human condition. 

The first poem, "mili-you", seems to reflect on the idea of individualism and how it can be both positive and negative for society. 

The second poem, "nobody has to", encourages the reader to explore their own creative spirit and not be constrained by societal expectations. 

The third poem, "window", suggests that our perception of reality is limited and that there is more to explore and discover. 

The fourth poem, "skin i'm in", emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and being present in the moment, despite outside distractions. 

The last poem, "those without hope" focuses on empathy and understanding for those who are struggling and feeling hopeless. All of these poems have a contemplative and introspective tone and convey a sense of searching for deeper meaning in life.”

You got it! (...or me!)

...this is not 'silly' at all.

I think there should be nerdy gyms and I’m not even joking about that.

waves, rocks & pebbles

* like frothy sea foam washing up on shore

pushing my once-craggy pebbles of pride into smoothed stones, eventually.    

i've learned to endure, endear myself to the waves:

how they gather, surge, crest & break

then pass, making way for another & another, ad infinitum.

should you prevail, you’ll come out smooth, real smooth - ask anyone... but no less a rock star than always. * 4/23 - lebuc - waves, rocks & pebbles

I'll be honest it's gotten harder for me to definitely rank movies as I've gotten older like whenever I sit down to rank things now I'm just thinking about this tweet

I cannot believe they marketed the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off animated series as a true-to-the-graphic novels adaptation with Bryan Lee O’Malley and the original movie cast (thus luring in both the movie fans and the graphic novel purists), set the first episode up to appear exactly like that’s what they were doing, and then at the last minute they went SIKE this is not the story you think it is. I’m obsessed

I dont think people give enough credit to Elijah Wood for the utter sincerity, innocence, and resolve he gives the first hobbit we EVER see on screen - Frodo. the dedication to giving him the childlike innocence & purity of hobbits yet ancient exhaustion and eldritch agony of a ringbearer is seriously worthy of note. lots of people rightly commend Sean Astin's work on LOTR (he was Oscar nommed) but Frodo really blows me away.

he presented us with the first image of a hobbit, and along with the other hobbit actors literally astounds me with how perfectly they crafted such endearing and fairytale-like creatures, the living breathing definition of Innocents which you come to cherish and completely understand why every other race of peoples on Middle Earth (and members of the Fellowship) come to head-over-heels adore them and protect them with their lives.

it's so believable & the seriousness with which Wood depicts Frodo's deeply inhuman sweetness and fable-like wholesomeness obviously took so much effort and concentration. it's a role i don't think a lot of people could pull off without it coming off as paper-thin or (for lack of better word, forgive me) "cringe". especially with Frodo being the MC and having so much screentime he does a phenomenal job.

hobbits, like dwarves and elves have physical markers to distinguish them from the race of Men in LOTR but the way they developed their outlooks, personalities, mannerism, and behaviors to so UTTERLY stand apart from Men seemed more difficult than with the dwarves or elves yet comes across CRYSTAL clear.

and Wood's Frodo is a HUGE reason for that.

giving him mad cred.
