Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision,
Call it intuition, or something learned from mother,
When she looked at up at me, I could clearly see
The sword of Damocles hanging directly above her
- Nick Cave

At long last, a bit of a relaxing (long) weekend, though it seems to have flown by and not been nearly long enough for the required recharge, but was a good break nevertheless. Some good football (last ABC Monday night game – was nice to see Vinnie connect for one last time). Speaking of football… Watched ‘When I Die’ Sunday night (www.breakfastwithhunter.com) – a documentary about the design, engineering and construction of the HST Gonzo Fist memorial and the associated coordination of the disposal of the ashes. Quite nifty… Broke out a glass of Chivas…. The whole thing is only an hour long, but is very neat to watch – though I would say not for the fleeting fan.

When I die I don’t want no part of heaven
I would not do heaven’s work well
I pray the devil comes and takes me
To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell
- Bruce Springsteen

Monday night after the game, watched ‘Grizzly Man’ – this has to rank with one of the most thought provoking, desperate movies I have ever seen (on par with Leaving Las Vegas and Barfly for cheeriness) – basically a case study in insanity, and in trying to escape any sense of reality.

We worship the flaw, the belly, the belly, the mole on the belly of an exquisite whore.
He spared the child and spoiled the rod. I have not sold myself to God.
- Patti Smith
**
Much of that movie was about understanding the workings of the natural world, the working of our world, and our impact on both of those – where they intersect, and where they bisect. Richard Thompson also wrote and played on the soundtrack – a very nice touch – he is one of those really neat well kept secrets.

‘The common denominator of the universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility, and murder. – Werner Herzog
**
Herzog is talking about the whole of the universe, and referring very specifically to the animal kingdom, and extrapolating to us. And he is right. Neither we, nor our ancestors, nor any other beings in the wild wilds are harmonious – at least not in the way in which we typically think. Nature has it’s own hostile, chaotic and murderous harmony.

“He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.” - Samuel Johnson

Having spent a lifetime cutting myself off from human emotion, humanity and love, I have, at long last succeed in mutating into a wild animal.
