Strange Alchemy
Continuing the thoughts from last post (as I am again quite pickled):
1.) On my second screwdriver at the moment. Aside from the expected lightheadedness, I'm feeling calmly rational, at the moment. This could have stemmed from any number of sources of inspiration, but I will take my most recent viewing of the latest episode of "Deadliest Warrior" as such; specifically, its analysis of military strategies between the featured "combatants" for the week: George Washington and Napoleon Bonaparte. One does not lead armies into battle when completely addle-minded.
2.) I find myself talking to old contacts, heretofore nameless and out of my personal loop for over a year. Yet I sense it is for more than just a need for companionship (which I have), but rather, some means of attaining a goal.
3.) Some more visual/aural sources of musing:
A.) "The Incredible Hulk": always a favorite series of mine, the most recent viewing of which had me asking the following questions embodied by the central figure, David Banner: 1.) What WOULD it be like to drift from town to town and 2.) How can one drift from relationship to relationship (friendly, platonic, or otherwise) and then withdraw once the necessity toward "moving on" becomes paramount again?
B.) Listening to a (somewhat less) rough cut of my band's last rehearsal and again finding myself facing the desire toward "leadership", i.e. - seizing the reins, as it were, at our next scheduled meeting as would a field marshal and directing said group?
All this inner musing (and far more than I can adequately chronicle here) from two drinks. Blargh.
