Here here to that! If I was twenty years old again and the internet was new it would be no sweat. But when you hit forty and you have obligations and jobs and commitments you kind of want to see some things work in your favor now and then. That isn’t asking for much. Probably three years for me too. Some forums I have been at, started back in 2018 and I only have fourteen posts total. My rampaging posting days are gone. I am guessing an asteroid could possibly hit the earth before I get to my twentieth post. I really came in here to talk about Disney. I just know that I went and bought a pack of cigarettes today and it was 6.96. And I could have swore the price said 5.60. The guy was too absorbed in texting on his phone for me to ask for a price change. I kind of figure on all of these end of the world movies that smoking and personal vices fit in to play with the “world ending.” Aliens. Solar Flares, Aliens again..Virus. The core stopping. But are you going to put down that pack of cigarettes?! When Sean Penn becomes a republican that is when the world ends. Or when Dwayne Johnson names his dog something other than character from a cheesy 1980s movie. Oh yeah.
But there’s robot apocalypse too! I guess climate change has replaced that one. Robot apocalypse is so yesterday. If Disney could make a cartoon based on a Lloyd Alexander book that made money then the world could end. That one would have to factor as a combo of Man made and Heat Death of the Universe. I had no idea that those two were so closely interconnected.

Cave art? Let me tell you a little something about cave art. In a cave, there’s only one light bulb, one fresh source of air and a lot of people in too-small spaces, with no time to stop and enjoy the wonders of the world. Once something captures your interest in the form of a painting on a wall, your natural reaction is to move on, unless you’re a monk who has no life and no ability to move on. It just so happens, for the most part, that monks make very good art, because they’re used to concentrating on small, detailed drawings, so they can really see the world. Every picture you see in a cave is the result of dozens of people working at it for thousands of years. Of course, that doesn’t apply in a modern museum, when the population is bigger, the space is bigger and we have a lot more spare time, but in the hundreds of millions of years that this work of art has been around, it takes on new meaning, because you can actually consider the history of life. What is amazing to me is that all of these artworks are made by hand, almost by magic. I mean, the hammering with a stone, the drawing with a feather and so on. It seems that there are no machines involved in any of this art, except for one or two sculptors who use machines to smooth out the clay, but most of the work is done by hand. There are no computers at work here. In fact, there is no artistry at work here. No Sega Genesis controllers. No paintbrushes. And yet, when you look at that cave art, all those drawings, you are amazed at the work that went into it, and the incredible artistry of the people who created these artworks. In fact, that’s what happens with all of human art. We all have a mind, a basic imagination, and when we see an idea, we want to bring it to life. We want to bring it to fruition.
