This idea started off as a three panel strip of a pumpkin that ended with it rotting. After tossing that idea round a little bit I thought it was too pessimistic. I am not sure what my natural inclination is, but I am firmly of the opinion that pessimism is completely useless. So naturally I try to be an optimist. There is a saying that a pessimist is just an educated optimist, and I find that this general attitude is common with people my age. Specifically the too cool for school-20 something-white- male-geek-internet-crowd. I think it is easy to be a cynic, it's intellectually lazy. I think there can be a difference between blind ignorance and optimism.
I really hope nuance exists in the universe.
Anyway, what's up with you guys? I am fine. Going to see Noah soon and I am pretty excited about it. For those who don't know me, while I am not particularly religious but I am a real junky when it comes to Christian stuff. Movies, history, art, all that jazz. I am also a Darren Aronofsky fan. I am not sure if it will be a good movie or not, but what I am sure of is that Noah will be fascinating to dissect. The fact that its marketing teams are squirming with anxiety gives me hope.
Sorry for the odd blog post, I usually edit more. I think a big flaw of the internet is that it gives people too much power to self censor. There is something to be said for off the cuff, in the moment thoughts.
That's it for now, warts and all. Have a good weekend.
