whelp

Jack jingle jibber was depressed.
He once was happy but he no longer feels the way he did.
he contemplates suicide.
Sitting in his chair her begins to remember the things he once loved
he remembers the good time and all the joy he could still have
he gets up
lets out his rage
looks at his possible end
and walks right past.

Another journey

    Steven Spielberg, in his movie Empire Of The Sun, delivers a story of a young boy who grows up during World War 2 and is surprisingly called to the adventure of a lifetime.  It isn’t all fun and games and the lessons he learns change this young boy into a man.  This movie truly depicts Joseph Campbell’s Heroes Journey.  It begins with the Ordinary World.  James is a young buck whose parents are filthy rich.  He lives in China in a large mansion.  He has handmaidens and all the toys and pleasures a young kid could ask for. 
    His call to adventure comes in a split second.  Japan strikes and sends soldiers throughout the towns collecting all races other than their own.  They send them to war camps in the outskirts of town.  James tries to run away with his family but is ends up lost in the crowd.  He stays hidden for a while but for want of food and protection he soon begs to give in.  This is where he refuses his call.  He tries his best to surrender by running through the streets yelling at all the soldiers but no one seems to care for him.  He one day finds a man by the name of Basie.  This is his mentor.  He learns of Basie’s knowledge and finds him to be his safest bet to a prolonged life. 
    Jamie is given a new name by Basie in order to sound more American.  He is now known as Jim.  Jim tells Basie that at his home in the town he knows of a lot of good furniture and money to be made.  They drive out there to check it out but are caught and put into a war camp.  This is where he crosses the threshold.  He goes to the camp and is tried, tested, beaten and ridiculed.  He learns new ways of coping and creating.  He goes through many phases here such as the test, allies and enemies, the approach, ordeal, and reward.  At one point he has to put his life on the line and go out on a limb to earn trust and approval of Basie and his clan.  He is almost caught and killed but just barley sneaks by. 
    The American’s come to the aid of the victims of the war camps and help to save them all.  This is where Jamie takes the road back.  He begins his rise to accomplishment.  He still has many struggles here and even has one final stand.  He is left all alone.  Starving and tired he has to walk all the way back to his first camp and it just about kills him.  As he arrives the American army is waiting there and they take him to re-unite with his family.  Jamie finds his parents and lives on.

Here row adjourn knee

 Personal Trap

Blue, red, yellow.  These are the only colors he has ever known.  Left alone in a box of primary colors.  He travels no where.  See's no one.  The only thing left to do is think.  Thinking about what he looks like.  What it would be like to know the difference in all things.
 One day he reaches forward.  Pushing off his lid.  A new light emereges.  The scents of the new world awaits him.

1. How old is this guy?
2. Where has he been his whole life?
3. What's next?

Burp. I mean. Blurp. Or Blurb.

1. Fantasic Mr. Fox
    "You remembered the blueberries right?" 
    "what blueberries"
    "the ones I told you to bring" "I wrote it on your hand"
    "oh.."
This short dialouge of the new hit film is just a sample of the incredible mind of Raul Dauhl.  Enjoy the rest of the daring escapes, violent dinners, and oh my "cusses" that will follow.  Your socks and your booger will literally be blown away.

2.  Falling in love at a coffee shop
Listen.  The sounds will move you more than the wind.  The melody can tune and bend.  You may not be able to wrap your mind around it, put your finger on it, or even speak of it.  But eventually.  Sooner or later.  Be it here, or anywhere in the expanses of the universe.  Love is gonna get you.  so strap up your boots.

3.  Fools Rush In
I dare you.  Tripple Dog dare you.  Tell me I am wrong.  The truth will come.  Prove me wrong.  I am not afraid to admit it.  Pure fascination.  From the northern portions of my heart straight down to the deepest recesess.  Open up your heart and let this fool rush in.
