Chronic Pain is Scary

Guys can we talk about how scary having chronic pain is? Like you are just existing while your body breaks down in the most painful way. You have no control as your body stops working and you starting losing the things love, all the while you are justing thinking "something is very wrong with me" but you can't figure out what or why.

Leggett, CA

So, a few years back, my dad and I did a little summer trip where we road tripped from NorCal to Portland, visited several small, family owned bookstores in Portland, then road tripped back. On the way back, we drove through Leggett, Ca. We had woken up at around 3am and started driving back home, 2 hrs later we wanted breakfast and pulled off the freeway to Leggett to find food. Now we are in the middle of nowhere, so when you see a place to pull over for gas or food, you do because it could be another 150 miles before you come across another opportunity. So we pulled off and followed this road for about a mile straight into this tiny town. We slow down as we get closer and notice, you can really only see two buildings, both run down a little, made from wood, kind of old looking, one is a "gas station" (looked like no one had been there for years) and a florist shop, fresh flowers out front, no lights on, so bikes or cars in eyesight, not a single person. We turn right and follow the road a bit. 1 mile of trees and then a small clearing on the left, a nice house, a brand new car, open trunk, open back door, no one in sight. Okay, we'll sit here for a second and when someone comes out, ask if they know where we can get something to eat. 10 minutes later, no sounds from the house, no sign of people. We keep driving and go downhill a little bit, winding through some trees, the road ends in a large clearing with a big two floor building, a diner! Perfect. We pull up, old wood building, broken windows, decorated inside with tables and everything, no people, no people, no cars, no bikes, nothing. At this point, we go, okay this is kind of creepy, lets just get back on the freeway. We go back the way we came, the single road in and out of town. The freeway entrance is about 100ft across from the freeway exit we took to get here. When we got here, 15 minutes ago, there was no construction and no car in sight. The exist is blocked and there are now dozens of cones and signs and there is tape everywhere and a single man working in a large truck, moving things around. We pull up and ask how we can get to the freeway, he points us further down the road and says "there's an entrance a couple miles down, but be careful, that's West Leggett and it's the bad part of town." So what we saw was the good part of town? That's creepy. However when you google Leggett, Ca, it shows images of the same area/paths/roads we were on, but it talks about how it's known for it's large beautiful trees and cute inns/hotels. The pictures are beautiful and full of life. What the fuck. That town was horrifying when we were there.

Superman/Supergirl

Ok, I want to start off by saying I love the new Superman movie, and the DC universe that James Gunn is building. David Corenswet was an amazing superman and really embodied Kal El's true personality from the comics. I respect him as Superman. The incorporation of Metamorpho was my favorite, his character is very underutilized and the way they introduced him into the new DC universe was perfect. As well as the exploration of live action meta humans. James Gunn is starting this universe off right, properly representing the true identities of the heroes, already using underutilized characters and exploring previously neglected (with the exception of the CW Arrowverse Flash show) groups of people like meta humans. However... I do NOT like when they greatly alter the origins of a character, especially one that is such a pillar to the DC universe. Hawkgirl IS NOT a meta human! Shayera Hol is a Thanagarian from the planet Thanagar. She is a warrior who comes to Earth for various reasons (depending on which era of comics you are talking about, in most storylines she becomes immortal (for various reasons), often considered "destined for reincarnation") but she is an alien first and foremost in almost every storyline. She is not a meta human though, and I don't know how I feel about her being a girl who's meta human ability is hawk like characteristics, but I do trust James Gunn, so we'll see. I will say, I am very excited for the Supergirl movie, as well as a more in depth view of the connection between Krypto and the El family. All in all, I believe these are ways to start off the new DC universe.

Psychology

A lot of people (mostly family members) ask me why I chose psychology to study or why I like it, and all I can ever think is "how could I not?". Because if you think about it, psychology is the explanation behind everything! Every decision, creation, word spoken, everything. It's the most fascinating subject in the world.

Batman

Guys can we talk about how smart batman is?? Like come on man. I am watching justice league: doom (great adult animated movie on hbo max) and it really highlights the way he thinks. Batman made contingency plans for each member of the league, including himself each tapping into unique biology and psychology, it was genius. He says that they make up some of, if not the most powerful people on earth and maybe even the galaxy, and when told that they would never do that to him, he looked at them and told them they were goddamn fools. Batman thinks of and plans for everything, any and all feelings aside, making him one of the most dangerous people there are. I love the way his mind works, the way he thinks is incredible and deserves so much respect.

So I have been looking for a blog site and I think I found it! Honestly I am just going to use this to post the random thoughts I have (a lot of deep thinking and nerding out about fiction/superheroes/Grimm).
