Brother Bear
It’s amazing how well my mind is capable of reacting to the growing concern that I’m insane and BS-ing myself…
I spent a great deal of time this year with very little ability to really feel connected to my Were-side, and I was starting to think I was either crazy, or just completely cracked for even considering the posibility that I really was Were. That is, until last night, for some reason. I started to make a quick little pawprint doodle in Photoshop last night (which quickly turned into a very long project because I’m anal), and in the process, I feel like I reconnected very strongly with that part of me. I’d commented somewhere a while ago that I would love to have the time and ability to better connect with my Were-side, because I’m not very good at it, and it takes a lot of effort to keep that line open at all. I don’t think my insane schedule and responsibilities to everyone and their uncle this past year have done much to help that either.
Anyway. Between the pawprint and seeing Brother Bear twice in the past 3 days, I feel like I’ve reconfirmed the fact that I’m not insane, nor am I lying to myself, because both of those things resonate on that same deep level that makes me realize it’s real and true.
Oh, and while I’m on the subject of Brother Bear… everybody should go see it. It’s a fantastic movie. Seriously. Probably some of the best stuff Disney’s done since their huge stint of filmmaking in the early 90’s with Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Lion King. I made sure to take my little brother (who, like the rest of my family, is blissfully unaware of the fox living in their house…) to see it the second time I went, just to make sure it wasn’t my personal connection with the spirit of the film that was speaking for my impression of its quality, and since he was equally impressed and pleased with the film, I’d say it’s a good film even if you’re not “into that sort of thing”.
I wonder what CAP will have to say about it… (went to look, got the Blinking Red Light of Hell, wow…)
Oh, and another thing I wanted to mention (whee, stream-of-consciousness blogging), since I’m kind of playing catch-up… this kind of crap really makes me sick. I sent an email to the webmaster, and in the highly unlikely event that it DOESN’T get deleted right away, I’d love to see what this guy has to say about what I wrote to him. And for those who are wondering what’s wrong with the article that would get me so pissed, a cursory glance at the OCRT site’s account of Halloween should hopefully clue you in.
Really, I have nothing against religion, but when it’s used to spread obviously demonstrable lies defaming and attacking those who believe differently than they do, I start getting angry. If you’re going to attack a religion or its holidays, at least get your freaking facts straight, okay?
Enough from me for tonight, I think. ‘Night.
