Writin' Forty

I recently wrapped up the recent final run of Daredevil.  N owadays, instead of sticking with original numbering of a series, as soon as author  concludes his/her run a publisher will restart the numbering of a series with 1 in the hopes that new readers can attach to the series. They need to just stick to original numbering, it makes more sense for the hardcore collectors. None of this has anything to do with what I’m talking about but I love comic books. In this issue of Daredevil, he is laying  on the opera ting table fighting for his life. He is internally musing about why he should fight to live anyway: Kingpin is the mayor still, enemies are still gunning for him no matter what, and the fight is seemingly never ending: he is drowning in darkness and cannot see the light. He dies. But he comes back to life and he says something that I find incredible: If you cannot see the light, then be the light. Whoa. That hit me hard. I love that  line. It mad...

You'll pardon me if I get somewhat personal on this one. I mean, this blog is literally about myself and processes that I go through but this one will go a little deeper than normal. On my desk in my office sits a picture in a frame. I'm notoriously bad at keeping pictures. I have a decent amount but they're sitting in photo albums and looked at seldomly. I have never looked at my wedding video. I have not looked at my retirement ceremony. Mom told me she has a video of my high school graduation. I've never looked at it. If there's a picture I want to look at it's a picture that means something to me. The picture is from college and it's of me and three other friends, dressed as the Ghostbusters for Halloween. It occurred me today that all three of the other guys in that photo voted for Donald Trump. I can safely infer this. My interest here isn't political. It's more on how a president can affect a country and there shouldn't be any debate...
