In honor of Halloween- I have decided to put a poem I found that I wrote back in 2001. It is called "Jack". Don't judge me too much.
This is a story of Jack the Ripper He saw a girl and just had to rip her, Whole body- from head to toe Til he heard footsteps and had to go. "Come to this room" one time he said. He then had time to chop off her head the cut up her face so that it could not go back into place. And then with many slices and cuts he cut her open to look at her guts. He found what he wanted, and took it out. He then left and wandered about. No man was put away for these crimes. But he was (supposedly) put away for a deranged mind. A deranged mind, of course. No normal mind would think to do something so gross.
I realize that I have not written in a while. It is amazing how time gets away from you. I will no longer make any promises as to this blog, but it is my desire to keep it up.
Here is a new thing I want to add. I found my old poetry. From high school through college. yep, nothing beats teenage poetry, right? Well, I will sort through it and maybe post some of it ;). (I now realize that I kinda have a twisted mind. My first one I found was about Jack the Ripper. Others on death, dying, or isolation. Lots of images of rain and mirrors... but I digress.) But I will start with a humorous one.
Been working so hard Feel like ink traces my veins My fingers becoming pencils I begin to speak in rhythm My thoughts in rhyme But all I've got to show is this little poem of mine.
Not sure of the date on that one.
Right now I have been working on what I call "Tim Art". I am taking on a character that is an artist, so I gotta work on some art. I want to actually show her art instead of just mentioning it. I am excited about it, but I also realize that there is a reason I did not become an artist.
Another random note: any men wanting to get into acting in the Los Angeles area- let me know. We might could use you. No pay, but we make food!
Name, please. I feel like I just walked up to some automated counter at a bank. Legal-Melinda Brown. but you can call me Mindy
Approximate Age? I am a twentysomething. That approximate enough?
Are you happy in your life? What a generic question. Within my life, I do have happy moments. I am also generally happy *with* my life.
Do you feel like anything is missing? If so, what do you want? If nothing was missing, what would drive my life? I don't really know what it is, but I do know my life is not perfect, thus I continue to pursue a better life. I don't feel any particular gaping holes, if that is what you want to know....
Do you plan on being a musician/artist/writer? Plan on? Heck, I AM all three. My life is a work of art, period; I sing in my car and in the shower; and the post-its all over my wall and computer atest to the fact that word are written on paper by my hand. Do you think you are artistic? No. I know I am. ;) I am also feeling cocky tonight, just fyi.
Have you ever tried hard drugs? Tylenol comes in hard tablet form sometimes... but in terms of illegal ones, not that I can remember.
If so, have they changed your life? That memory loss I mentioned.... j/k
What age would you like to die? Some age before I become nonfunctional or get dementia or no longer have living friends. Why live with a shattered (an unfixable) physical, mental, or emotional life?
Would you let your kids smoke weed? Are you asking if I would give an illegal substance to an underage person whom I am responsible for? Think before you ask such things. Even if I was part of the legalize it movement, I am not altering the conscious state of my child.
Are you an angry person? Why would you ask something like that? Did someone tell you to ask that? Huh! Because that was just one time, and the glass was empty and made of the sugar glass....
Do you laugh a lot, but don’t really mean it? Wow, double question. I do laugh a lot, and only rarely do I not mean it. True laughter is a uncontrollable reaction of your body. It sounds funny to fake it.
Do you like to think you are popular? I like to think I am. but am I, not really. I am not delusional enough to actual believe the word describes me. My friends love me, and that's all I really care about.
Describe your most terrifying dream. Let me just say this.... the words that the "man" was yelling at me- my brain couldn't even comprehend them (but I understood them as insults and threats). And I had an overwhelming sense of doom and fear.
What band would you die to see live? Would I die before seeing them? Because that seems pointless. Even still, no bands are that important to me.
How would you like to die? In a shining moment of glory. One that people would talk about for years after. Like, "where you there when the girl was filming that kiss a** action scene, and decided to do it one more time for good measure. and then the rope snapped..." or something like that. (I just love this picture; I would be in there somewhere, like swinging in on a rope shooting a lazer gun)
Would you consider yourself intelligent? Are we talking Mensa intelligent or just smarter than your average American? Because I know I am one of those options for sure.
When was the last time you cried? Uh, about a week or more ago. I was watching a movie at home by myself. The ending reminded me of my nephew and it was just a touching scene.
When was the last time you laughed? I have been chuckling to myself the past hour. But I literally laughed out loud earlier while watching Party Down.
Who is your last text from? Molly
What did it say? “i like where this is going.... alot”
Ever had your ass kicked? Feet have been in contact with my backside. But I have not ever really been beaten up.
What’s your middle name? Page.
Single or taken? ...Taken reminds me of the movie. And I really don't want to be "taken" like that. But seriously, not really single anymore.
If single, what are you looking for in someone? Because when you are no longer single, you stop thinking about what attracts you to another person? and I have yet to really discover my "type".
Sex or love? Why is this an either/or question? Because I personally would not like to have one without the other. Meaning if I had a romantic love, I would want to eventually have sex; and I wouldn't want sex without love. Thus-both!
Who is your best friend? This can be a loaded question. I have different friends that share different parts of my life, just depending on factors like location, time of friendship, and even personality.
Why is this person your best friend? See above
Are you moody? I do have different moods. but they don't change rapidly.
Are you depressed? at the moment....no.
What do you think of abortion? I am against it. My personal opinion is that you already made your choice, and don't punish another life for your mistake.
Are you in a good mood today? I sure was!
If not, why are you not? .....
Are you afraid of the swine flu? Uh, no. I think mass hysteria just promotes fear but doesn't help anything.
Are you afraid to be yourself? What do you think?
What would you label yourself? If I were to put myself on a shelf, I think I would be in the "awesome and fun" section. Like the toy isle!
Do you live with your parents? nope.
How many siblings do you have? 1
Do you wear skinny jeans? No. I actually need to get some new jeans.
Are you emo? I do have emotions, but not the emo stereotype.
Are you aware that all emo kids look exactly the same? This is not a personality question, more like a personal statement in form of a question. I refuse to answer.
What do you wish your name was? You know, I like my name. It is unique enough that there are not many of us, but not so different that people don't know how to say it or spell it. And I do have a personal story with it too.
How old do you want to be when you get married? I would love to get married in the next couple years. Don't know if it will happen, but that would be great to be married before 25.
What do you want to name your kids? Not sure yet. I want them to have reasons behind the names.
What kind of hairstyle do you want? a shorter, funky one, but still professional enough to get a job.
When was the last time you brushed your teeth? at lunchtime
What are you wearing right now? jeans and a long sleeve shirt
Say something random. I love milkshakes. They are yummy.
What do you wear to bed? some kind of pj bottom, or boxers, and a tshirt.
Do you read literature? What is considered literature? I do read books, but I don't know if they are considered "literature".
Do you love horror movies? Nope.
What’s your favorite one? Did I not say that I don't like them?
Do you like comedies? ..... does anyone NOT like comedies? Seriously.
Are you a smoker? No, I am not.
Do you smoke cigars/cigarillos? I just said I don't smoke.
Do you have anger problems? This question was already asked! Gosh! People!

Do you talk to yourself? As long as I don't answer....right? then it's ok?
What color are your toenails? ...clear...(I don't paint them)
Has anyone ever told you have a nice smile? I think so.
Nice eyes? I tell myself that every morning. (I like to flirt with myself in the morning for a ego boost)
Ever broken a bone? Not yet. (knock on wood)
Got a black eye? I think I have at some point.
Nose bleed? oh yea...plenty of time.
Ever been so mad you cried? Yes. yes I have. Let's move on to next subject.
What’s your favorite quote? "Write a wise saying and your name will live forever." -anonymous
Are you listening to anything right now? Just got off the phone with my mom, now I can hear my neighbors, and I am turning on pandora
What are you addicted too? oxygen
Do you like silver hair? On other people or on myself? and are we talking like natural grey or shiny fake silver? Because I kinda like the short silver bob wigs.
Would you ever fight a famous boxer? Again I ask people to think before asking questions. It's like asking if I want to compete in a swim race against Phelps, or out eat Kobayashi. They would be super painful experiences.
Can you even fist fight? I think if I were put in a position where it was fight or die, I would somehow find the strength and skills.
Do you work out? Trying to get into a new routine now.
Are you in good physical condition? Not bad. I think I could at least outrun a zombie til I found safe ground.

Do you have any phobias? Not any that I know by name.
Ever been mauled by a wild animal? Uh.... not unless you count my cousin's hamster biting my finger....
Are you an insomniac? Not usually. But sometimes I get an idea in my head and I have to think it out, and it keeps me awake.
Are these questions pointless? Maybe. But maybe the point is to point out things not often pointed out. To discover the hidden truths in our lives. ... or maybe they are just fun to waste some time.
I know that I have many favorite tv shows right now. I have a list attached to my computer to remind me to watch the most important ones. However, there is one show that I would like to focus on today. And that show is Dollhouse.
The reason for my focus. First off- it is a fantastic show. Intelligent and edgy. Sexy and funny. Second off- it is unfortunately getting no love from its network (Fox) and in danger of being canceled. This makes me so sad. I hate how networks run these days. Without going into a very long-worded rant, I will move on to the next section.
I believe that Dollhouse is a show worthy of air time. Unlike many of the shows just taking up space on the airwaves, it has something to say. It is not only smarter entertainment, but it is also entertaining. So, what must the loyal fans do to save their beloved programing?
I suggest that everyone make some effort to watch said program. Even if you have never heard of it before. If nothing else, do it for me. Because you love me, and want to see me happy. You may be surprised and actually like it; nay, love it. Also, if you have any say in the Fox boardrooms, or wherever they make decisions, speak up! Mention that though Dollhouse may have fewer viewers that the top shows, those viewers are extremely loyal and dedicated to the show. And those fans will pay money to buy dvd's and other merchandise (you have to speak to their wallets, because they apparently have no hearts or souls).
Why am I so strong in my desire and conviction? The show has a unique voice that is not heard anywhere else. In an age where people watch tv to have noise in the background, or something that turns their brain off; this is a show that challenges ideas of the deepest nature. What is a person? What makes them an individual? What is memory? Do humans have the right to alter anything about our lives, or the lives of others? Where do the lines of ethics run? How much would I sell both my body and 5 years of my life for?
All these questions asked not in a classroom like setting, but in sexy, exciting, and realistic realm. These people are not unlike you or me(except a little bit better looking). This does not take place far into the future, but today. And though people will say things like "that can never happen", I ask "Why not?" I think this quote is great- "Forget morality. Imagine it’s true. Imagine this technology being used. Now, imagine it being used… on you. Everything you believe: gone. Everyone you know: strangers, maybe enemies. Every part of you, that makes you more than a walking cluster of neurons dissolved. At someone else’s whim. If that technology exists, it’ll be used. It’ll be abused. It’ll be global. And we will be over. As a species, we will cease to matter. I don’t know, maybe we should." We think at first of only the positive such things can achieve without thinking of the evil that will happen. Evil always happens. That is why movies such as Gattaca, and the episode Epitaph One of Dollhouse are so scary, because they are more than fiction. They are what our world will come to if we continue in our path with no regard for the consequences.
And if you don't want to think while you watch TV, Dollhouse also has many scenes of half naked men and women in fancy action sequences , interesting romantic entanglements, quirky humor that is required of television these days. So go ahead to watch it with your brain off, you will still be entertained.
This video is a synopsis of all of season one (not as awesome as the whole season, but enough to get you ready to dive into season 2)
