Interesting Fact 36: The III
King George III had a disease called porphyria, a hereditary condition that made his urine deep purple. Among many things, he is the only known king to be officially insane.
Awkward
Today I met this senior citizen, who took a liking to me. She said she was going to stare at me. She seemed like she was just kidding, until I realized she was in fact staring at me. She then said, "I always wanted a son." She stayed quiet, and then said, "I always wanted a son, just like you."
I then hit the road.
I then hit the road.

Sharing is Caring 19: The Children's Hour - Best Loved Poems
The Secret Place
By: Dorothy Aldis
Halfway up a certain tree
There's a place belongs to me.
Two branches make a little chair
And I like it setting there.
I like it.
And it's secret too.
No grownup guesses where I go.
And if he should, and climbed to it-
He would not fit, he would not fit!

I'm on the train now. I walked around the city for a bit, before I got on. Just for a bit. I saw poster for "The Bucket List." Here it's called "Ahora o Nunca."
After walking around, I went back to the cafeteria, had another cafe con leech and an omletta espanola bocadillo. I ate half of it. I sat still thinking about everything, everyone, no one, and nothing. I can't recall most of my thoughts, to be honest. I'm waiting for the train to leave.

Interesting Fact 34:That's Love!
In March 2010, a 28 yr. old South Korean man married a pillow. The body pillow, which has an anime character printed on one side, was dressed in a white wedding dress. Reportedly, the man takes the pillow out to regular dinners (ordering "her" a meal) and even brought the pillow with him to an amusement park.
Indie Films
So, here in the state and city which I currently reside in, I often feel annoyed with theaters. Why? Because, they don't show independent films here. Or at least, when they do, it's only for a weekend and then they move on. Luckily this weekend I was able to finally see Tree of Life. It was such a beautiful film. As always, Malick's style is amazing. Each shot could be framed and put on a wall.
What bothered me was when the movie ended, I heard a man gruff and say, "What a load of crap."
Obviously they had not seen a Malick film before. Obviously they missed the point of the movie. Sure, there were a few things I feel didn't fit with the movie, but all in all, it was amazing.
And the kids! Malick really captured childhood. It brought back a ton of memories. Each moment the kids experienced being kids, reminded me exactly where I was when I was that age.
Beautiful film.
My whole point is, I can see whey they don't show too many indie films here in this city. Most people here go for the big blockbuster explosion and screaming films. So, it seems. But, I could be wrong.

Interesting Fact 33: All Up in Your Pants
In 2009, a German reptile poacher was arrested in a New Zealand airport after authorities found 44 lizards sewed into pouches in his underwear.
Interesting Fact 32: It's Universal
Assholes know no religion, race, language, or region. Assholes are the same everywhere. And, by asshole, I mean jerks, dickheads, bastards, assholes. They're all the same.

The Cool
This past Thursday was my nephews birthday. We all went to paintball, with his friends. When I showed up, he started yelling, "That's him. That's my cool uncle. The one I was telling you about."
The kids ran up to me and started talking to me.
"Preston's always talking about you," they said.
It felt very awkward for me, because anyone that know's me, knows I'm far from cool.
Then, they noticed my area down there was protruding BECAUSE I WAS WEARING A CUP, SO AS TO NOT GET HIT BY A PAINTBALL IN THE NUTS. They started laughing. When I explained that I was wearing a cup, I started knocking on it with my knuckles making beat. The boys all started laughing. I then heard them talking to each other, "You're right, he is cool."
Kind of weird to be considered the cool uncle.
