I was told A Clockwork Orange was my mother's favorite movie. I wanted forever to watch it by myself and was pleasantly surprised when I, also, enjoyed this obscure movie. I guess it is my favorite movie? I've probably seen it 20 times with in the past year and a half, and read countless articles about its sub-context. Cromwell would be proud. That's for sure.
I haven't read the book though. Kubrick's ending is just so much more enticing. I am also afraid that the book will let me down. How can it be better than this masterpiece of fantasy?
I know that the book places emphasis on growing out of these violent stages with the ending of adolescence; making the statement that all teenagers act like this and society should accept this the way ancient ones did. Male lions leave the pack when they come of age. Right, right? Right. Right.
School starts on Monday.
Here are some stuffs that I've been checkin, 

I couldn't decide if I should write things under each photo, or if that would be pointless and a waste of everybody's time. But then I'm like, "Well, they have come to read your blog Lynn..". To which I respond, "Is it weird that I talk to myself in 3rd person?", but then I counter with, "No. It is weirder that you write about it on a blog". 

What have you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on?

I'mma tell you a secret cause I'm bored. 

Nope. I wrote it out and decided against it. HA. 

suckers.

thinking I'd give up a secret all willy nilly.

Religion is very important to me. 
Religion drives so much of the cultures around me. Religion brings ceremony, reverence and a pompus nature you cannot find in any other aspect of cultures. Buddhist temples, Aztec ceremonies, the Vatican? All of it is decked to the t in gold, valuables, even human blood. You don't find this any where else. 
Government is modeled on the basic religious structure. Look at pictures of presidents, think of the things they have, where they live, public appearances, responsibilities. 
Religion has always been a tough one for me. It didn't make sense that god would allow me to be locked in my room or my mother to die, but people just kept telling me it would be okay. Well it wasn't. So... that was pretty much lies. 
But Jesus.
Damn, is Jesus the SHIT or what? He cruses with his home boys, philosophizes with his besties in front of a ton of people; pretty much a jammin dude. 
I was raised by a Catholic and Presbyterian in a Unitarian church. Thought I was Buddhist.  Wiccan. Then Buddhist again. I was fascinated by Nuns and the Amish. Lately, I've just said I'm Atheist.


The Quakers seem cool though. 
I could chill with the Quakers.
