All over, people are suffering, persevering, and making their dreams come true. Somewhere in the universe, The Local Nutcase is reconsidering what his blog stands for. Where is the beer?

Pt 3: Days End, and Exhaustion.

So, to wrap up, we still have to finish trashing out the old place tonight, which will be one of the longest nights ever. But, the furniture thats moving is moved, and our house is pretty much how we want it (until more things can be purchased).

As I was sitting and unwinding yesterday, I was watching some Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, and talking to my long lost girlfriend (who I saw ONCE this weekend, for like an hour) on the phone. It was heaven, or would be if I wasnt exhausted. The movie itself wasnt great, but the commercials were terrific. Hallmark movies always seem to be hit and miss (usually there is some sort of secret involved, or drama, or John Denver, or hilariously old people) but these ads are really amazing. While normally I can watch puppies being eaten by fat asian men without batting an eye, EVERY SINGLE ONE of those commercials brings a literal tear to my eye. They are beautiful, and full of heart, and if you made them something besides what they are, they would be 10% as good.

So, things worked out, sorta. Im exausted, and still not done, and probably not making as much sense as I wanted to here, but we are just about ready for people. Come to the Duncan house if you get a chance, and we'll leave a light on for you. Cheers, and never move again.










Pt. 2: Its all coming back to me

This weekend also marked the first time I saw my father in three years. It had come down to the wire, and we HAD to have more help with a truck to move furniture in. I knew I couldnt call my girlfriends dad, because we had kinda stood him up in a way a couple of times. My exact words were, "I have to deal with Kylie's dad, who will notice if we piss off my dad?" (That being said, I nearly broke into tears in front of my girlfriend. Not very manly.) I should also preface all of this by saying after three years of about a call a year, my dad called me on my birthday. Since then, we have been talking intermittently on the phone, not going to much into the fact he has missed some of the most important things in my life (My loss of virginity (he wouldnt have BEEN THERE, but you know what I mean), my starting smoking, several girlfriends I almost thought I might marry, my 108 jobs, my friends, my ups and downs, my turning 21). The list goes on and on.

Anyhow, dad agreed to come out and help us finish up.

I can only say it is amazing how things come back. Listening to Dad burp and apologize, hearing his really long pointless stories that I actually DO listen to, watching him smoke cigarette after cigarette (wishing I could have one, now), hearing him be MY DAD.

For the most part it was beautiful. At one point he asked if I was still "messing around with that theatre stuff". He immediately said he didnt mean messing around, but doing, and I laughed said it was ok. And it really was. The fact that he said that speaks to me that he realizes part of our problem is the way he treats what I choose to do. It felt nice.

Dad went on and on about the house, and my job, and my girlfriend, and I think I was in heaven briefly. When you have a parent you dont talk to, especially if its just a stupid problem made large by time, you constantly worry about doing too much with yourself, worried that they may miss out on your life. I guess I dont have to worry about that anymore.

This horrible weekend, I made my Dad proud. This horrible weekend was one of the best.

The old sayings never go out of style

So, I learned a lot this weekend about dread, and the feeling of impending doom. I have never really been afraid of dying, only of you know, whats in the dark. What has always filled me with dread and loathing is the feeling of a horrible, oppressive time coming, when my coasting through life will be jarred by actual tough events. Case in point, this weekend Mom and I had to trash out and finish moving our townhouse in Dallas. We had been there for seven years, and had enough crap in there to fill the whale from Pinocchio. ALSO, I had washed my hands of finding a truck to move in, yet Mom really hadnt stepped up, so there was a huge chance we would have to literally leave our furniture on the sidewalk, and have nothing in our house. Saying I was not looking forward to this would not be sufficient. You ever have those things to do that you kinda touch on suicide as a viable means of getting out of it? That was me. "oh wouldnt it be lovely to fake my own death and get out of homework."

I hate this feeling, because all it does is make this horrible time draw out like a blade. I wish I could turn off this feeling, because it keeps me from having a happy-go-lucky attitude (happily complaining, anyway), and also makes me feel as if I should have worried more. That really sucks.

But, there is a good point of this rant, and that is I figured out that eventually, really, all things shall pass. By next tomorrow, when I wake up, we will have nothing to do with that horrible place in Dallas, and we can fully begin our new life in Denton. Kylie and Ben and Kathy and all of my friends can come over and chill in my fresh new pad, made Greg Brady-style by my mother being there. You cant argue with that.

Today

Today, I have three different things to talk about. This has been a big horrible weekend, with strange nuggets of goodness. What follows is probably the biggest blog I will ever undertake, so Im going to break it into pieces. Enjoy.

Morons with albums

Well, I heard the other day that veteran actor Robert Downey, Jr. is putting out an album. Are we not ready as a race to let this guy go? Is this an oscar winning actor we are talking about? What are we really missing out on by not having him on the scene? Another Chances Are? Or the more serious roles, like in US Marshals? I hate that dude. (Although, his "In the spoon by noon" monologue leaves me in stitches to this day.)

Robert Downey, Jr. is no Emilio Estevez. The worst thing Emilio ever did was coach a childrens hockey team. We should all be so bad. Remember when you saw Emilio in Mission:Impossible? Didn't you think, "Hey, I didn't know he was in this! Cool! Estevez!" He needs to come back. Whatever he does, from a new Men at Work with brother Charlie, to a guest stint on The West Wing with father Martin, I will be watching, a fan forever. (He was married to Paula for god's sake!) I miss him.

On a seriously different note, I got the Kevin Spacey "Beyond the Sea" album the other day. While the linear notes lead me to believe he may have a bit of a high opinion of himself, I could listen to this album all day. (I actually have.) All hail actors with cool movies and theatre backgrounds!

Short rant

Now, today is Inauguration day (or however the hell its spelled), and while I am unhappy, I dont want to ally myself with those people who are hiding under the bed, or having as many abortions as possible today, or just complaining constantly at work. While Im not happy with the way the election worked out, I dont want everyone to feel like it will actually make a difference in the long run. Bush, while being certainly annoying, is not the anti christ, and I dont think the end of the world is any more around the corner than it was in Clinton's term. I dont think back alley abortions are quite around the corner, nor do I think we will rape the poor, or kill everyone in prison, or fall into a new depression (which I hear every time the economy goes down. Put your ear right next to the computer so you can hear me: NOTHING WILL BE AS BAD AS THE FIRST ONE. REAL DEPRESSION ERA PEOPLE ARE SPINNING IN THEIR GRAVES EVERY TIME YOU SAY "It's like Of Mice And Men!" EVERY TIME YOU CAN'T GET A THIRD TV FOR YOUR HOUSE!)

I think Im done. Chill out, ya freaks.

Does no one else have time to think of these things?

Hello, my loyal fans. Its time for my first new post of the year. Many things have happened since my last (a successful promise ring gift, an unsuccessful attempt to be civil to soon-to-be ex-roommates, a rather successful attempt to kill a few brain cells), but I am going to keep this one simple with a complaint about commercials.

Has anyone seen the new Price-Waterhouse spots with Sam Waterston? Its all pretty standard stuff ("My mortgage company gives money to terrorist organizations and Martha Stewart!", "My mortgage company anally raped me with their barblike penises, then stomped on my head until I thought I was an ewok!", "My mortgage company, Price-Waterhouse, got me a million dollars, and beejays by ten of the twelve top Penthouse Pets!"). Then Sam Waterston is standing somewhere telling us how P-W is the key to immortality. While he is giving his spiel, the shot keeps jumping between three cameras, and he doesn't move. Are they trying to make this seem behind the scenes? Why don't they just have a shot of him getting a fat check from P-W? It seems to me very disillusioning, and I would seriously look at my ad company.

Then again, have you seen some of the commercials out there? Some are great (Sonic guys) but most are crap. I know this is an old old old old complaint, but really! I think we are all pretty decided as to what and where we will shop, and for how much and what not. Ads are the ONLY WAY we will change our minds. Are these people really putting their hat in the ring with "Zoom zoom?" Two thumbs down, says I.
