I miss rock n roll:
I miss music that keeps me up late at night and is the first thing I think about when I wake up.
I miss making mix tapes. Even when I’m not confident around you, with you…rock n roll can be strong for both of us.
I miss music that forces parents to demand it be turned down. Immediately.

Alan Moore has announced his (semi?)retirement from comic books. Similar to Stan Lee his contributions to this fantastic medium are obvious yet difficult to directly and properly delineate. Such is the murky constitution of creative collaborative work.
Moore’s comics from the infamous Watchmen to the classic Saga of Swamp Thing to the mysterious The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen have not only endured their share of criticisms (some of it just classic hatorade) but have thrived establishing a significant benchmark of quality not traditionally associated with comic books.

Halfway through Suicide Squad I finally clued in what DC is doing “wrong” compared to Marvel Movies. I dunno if wrong is the right word…it’s a different strategy that’s just not working.

Ok, so: this cheezy Ghostbusters incarnation…before we get into it let’s get out of it.

The future inconveniences us by forcing us to go through the present.
It’s the decisions we make now, powered by a compelling vision of the future that determine our fate. Want to ditch winter weight for a beach body by Summer means going on a diet now.
In theory the futures we court and cultivate tend to be positive, nobody dreams of being poor or homeless. It’s the classic crystal ball seduction. Yet in reality we make bad decisions all the time, we smoke, we tweet, get into draining relationships, we compromise willingly and often because the present (with its present pain) is ruthlessly demanding.
We don’t want to feel good in the future; we want to feel good now.
We live in the consequences of past nows.
