This is getting old.
And! I lost all my bookmarks, all my favorite blogs, so I need some help. If you are in the list over there to the left under "Interesting People", I already have your site saved. If you read this, and you're NOT on the list over there, please let me know so that I can find you again. Email me at rockycat24(AT)yahoo(DOT)com or leave a note in the comments. Thank you!
God.
Here we go: Freaky Friday!
You should be able to click that pic to embiggen. It's a movie poster for "In the Realms of the Unreal", which is an absolutely fascinating documentary about Henry Darger, who was either a genius or crazier than a shithouse rat, or possibly a little of both. People who devote their entire lives to their art, especially if said art is a little out there, fascinate me. This dude spent his whole life inventing and chronicling a fantasy world where children fight the forces of evil. And nobody ever even found out about all he was doing until after he was dead, which is a bummer, because he never got any recognition during his lifetime.
Happy Freaky Friday, everybody, and have a happy Halloween! I think I'll give away my computer to a trick-or-treater.

That really bites that they still can't get it right, maybe the trick or treaters will know more than the professional! LOL! Some times I wonder...
Interesting poster, never heard of the movie or the guy.
The guy's name was ringing a bell and I've just looked him up.
Poor, poor man; like you say "either a genius or crazier than a shithouse rat, or possibly a little of both".
I felt really sad for him and his life.
