Soapbox! - 2005/05/18 12:20
Hi Folks,
Time for me to get on my soapbox.
Ok. What's the deal. These characters walk, stomp, creep, even float into our relatively "normal lives" (exceptions excluded). And what do we do? Most of us flip out! Of course! Especially when they do that neat shape changing thing. Truly awesome.
After we realize that it's not a one night stand, we become curious and, yes, try to analyse and even try to communicate with them...what's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong? We're the only ones trying to talk to them! What about some feed back from them?! I mean, come on! Sure, I can't appear and disappear at will (boy, would that be a kick) or float in midair but with enough speed and determination I might be able to run through a wall ! It'll hurt. But I could eventually do it.... I think. Slamming doors, walking loudly, knocking stuff over I've got licked hands down. My wife has witnessed me enough after a heavy night out with the boys. So what's the deal?
Think about it.... would you want to say something to loved ones from the other side?
"I'm ok".
"It's wonderful. Don't be afraid".
"Did you have to bury me in this necktie?"
"Fix your hair before you check out, Darling. It's dreadful here without a proper "Do"".
I mean, why don't they try and talk to us? Why don't they try and communicate with us? Haven't any of them thought about or remembered how many questions we have on this side and want to pass something on? Pretty stuck up if you ask me.
Ok. So maybe sound dosen't pass well between planes of existance. It just comes as moans over to us. Then why do they react spontanously when we yell at them to quiet down? We can see them. They can see us. They can hear us. We can hear... a groan. Please.
So talking dosen't work. Sign language? There's a possibility. Even if its the proverbial "Bird" better known as the "stinky finger" in other parts of the world, I think we'd get the message.
If they are able to write, why can't they get anything more profound across than "Redrum"? Geez. Spelling flies out the window too when we cross over, or what?
Taking over the body of someone else and talking to us through them is really uncool. If I hear the deep, agressive voice of ex-killer Bruno Bandelo flowing from the lips of a beautiful, veluptuous woman, I tend to freak out.
And I stopped playing with tape recorders so I could hear my own voice a long time ago.
So what's up? Maybe it's time to lay down a few rules and put them in their place- "Communicate effectively or not at all. Stop doing things that scare the cr*p out of us. We know you can do that so it ain't no big deal. Try to teach us. Comfort us. Warn us. Tell a good joke once in a while. But stop interrupting our conversations when you've got nothing to say."
DO I HEAR AN AMEN?!?!?!?!
Amen Brothers and Sisters.
And sleep good.
