Wow - several things have happened since I wrote last...
1.) A Reno Nev. construction worker has been arrested for the shooting of 31 wild mustangs. Two Ca. marines are also being investigated for the deaths.
2.) New reports of the Patterson tape of a live Sasquatch being a hoax came out on Monday. The new report claims that a single frame of the tape was enlarged and a 'bell-shaped' fastener was shown on the ankle of the creature.
3.) Two new planets have been found outside of our own solar system. They are the same type as Jupiter and have egg-shaped orbits. One of the planets is only 13 million miles from its sun (we are 93 million), giving a 'year' of only 18 days.
This last development is exciting to me - who would've ever thought that we'd find planets outside our solar system in this lifetime? I mean, we've only gotten one satellite out of the system and another about to go. Scientists think that only 2% of all the stars out there may have planets...but just think - 2% of billions, maybe trillions...
I couldn't believe this last report about the Patterson tape. It just sounds so ridiculous. The original tape that was filmed in the late '60s was so grainy - not much detail at all can be seen on it. The fact that this guy claims to has taken one frame and enlarged it seems impossible...and that he found anything at all recognizable seems like science fiction. I don't know whether the tape is hoaxed or not but this guy isn't the one with the smoking gun, I'll tell you that right now...and I'll put my training in photography on the line on this one.
When I heard Art Bell say that someone had been arrested for the shooting of those mustangs, I about raised the roof! I guess it's a good thing that no one else was here or else I'd be getting prepared to go 6 feet under, huh? I've heard rumors that some people go to bed early and are usually asleep at midnight...however, I don't know if these rumors are true...
Well, one thing is true - I got a look at myself in a mirror several times this week and didn't recognize myself. My gods, when did I become such a tubbo? It's damned embarrassing to see myself that way - not that I was ever svelte but I've never been like this before!
It's got to go.
I know that a lot of this came over this past summer. It was not an easy time but if you've read much of this journal, you've probably figured that out. I've noticed that I'll stuff for odd reasons: a particular piece of artwork is going well so I'll stop and snack, breaking the rhythm; I'm bored, or revealing or uncomfortable emotions are about to come up. I wonder if that puts me ahead of the game by knowing this? I suppose the more apropos question is: now that I know this, what do I do about it?
Gods, this means more change, doesn't it? Crap. I'm going to bed. Goodnight.
