Maybe I'm just getting old, but driving around in the Los Angeles area has been making me crazy lately. As soon as another driver sees a tiny opening they have to dart into it whether or not it's actually going to get them to their destination any sooner. Usually it causes whoever they just cut off to slam on their brakes, thereby causing a chain-reaction of sudden braking which, if someone in the line isn't 100% focused, will cause a collision. So, anyway. This is about people like that, and the karmic turd-pie that they are gobbling up.

Sometimes a drawing makes me laugh. Isn't that reason enough to post it here?

Too Stool for Cool

I was at this restaurant for lunch last Friday, and one of the employees was changing the bag in the trash can, and after he had taken the full one out, but before he had replaced it, some fool dropped his load of food-trash in the bag-less receptacle. When he had realized what he had done he said, "Oh sorry, I didn't see that there was no bag." That's when I noticed that he was wearing his dark sunglasses indoors. That would explain the inability to see the obvious.

Can You Relate?

Sometimes you feel out of place-- like an actor in your own life-story. "What am I doing here? Is this real? Why am I doing this? Am I where I'm supposed to be? Did I miss something? Was I supposed to...? Is this the right...? How do I ...? Why...? Get me the Philips-Head Screwdriver! I know what to do! I am a real doctor! I don't just play one on TV!!! Nurse, I need the anaesthetic at once! Take this on an empty stomach! Administer the usual dose via the eye socket--specifically the tear ducts! A strict regimen must be adhered to in just such a way as to effect the desired outcome! This is SCIENCE!!! I'm talking about empirical knowledge here! No guesswork! Just the facts ma'am! Where were you on the night of October 27th, 2006? So you did it! I smell a rat! You're going to the big house, Charlie! The ability to see multiple viewpoints only exacerbates the problem!"

No reason. Just doodlin'.

"Hat Man"

Is this too dark? Can you see it? Anyway, here's some spooky reading if you're interested:

The Next One

It's pretty much just the Myth of Sisyphus-- just set in the Valley instead of the Hills.

Boid

Look at this lil' birdy! I found (her) injured on a rainy Burbank sidewalk today. After much ado, I was able to get her to a guy here in town who rehabilitates birds.

Isn't it strange how things happen? Wouldn't it be weird if this were the same pigeon that inspired Wednesday's post? Could be. I think she's going to be OK. I hope so.

It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This

Indeed

Yeah, what now, little friend? You've got all of Burbank spread out before you. OH, the Possibilities! But, with so much potential, how do you proceed? Fly in any one direction, and you will have left behind 359 degrees of what could have been--any one of which could have offered you a life entirely different from the one you choose, and entirely different from any of the others. It's a lot to consider.

Of course, there are more than 360 ways to go. That's just an arbitrary chopping up of our experience of the world. In reality, there are infinite directions in which to travel--even in a two dimensional framework. The "circle" which we divide into 360 degrees exists only in two dimensions. Add to it the third dimension-- make it a sphere of potentiality, and it's still infinite, but could it contain an even larger infinity of possible directions in which to travel? And what about time? That's often considered the fourth dimension, so if we add that bit of flavor to our pigeon's casserole of potentiality, then it's no wonder he's just sitting there not doing anything. The enormity of the decision paralyzes him!

Good News!

Hey guys, she was found! Now she's back at home where she belongs-- 1 1/2 years later!

Heart Rhymes with Fart

Ha Ha Ha! That's rich.

Did I show you this one? Another one I storyboarded (wrote the song, too).

Here's one of the shorts that I storyboarded-- if you can get it to play.

Handyman

I've got to hand it to you. I just can't put my finger on why. Just don't knuckle under, OK? I know you'll nail it-- now that they're under your thumb.
