COINCIDENCE? SYNCHRONICITY?



No Doubt, the previous entries 
regarding depressing right wing 
trolls can be temporarily offset 
by Gwen Stefani, The Soggy 
Bottom Boys, George Clooney 
and the Coen Bros movie, 





Summer of 2016 I'm walking past Lincoln Center 
on my way to see the movie "Genius" that had 
been playing at the old Lincoln Plaza

I pass a political writer on the street I recognize 
but I'm very bad with names.  I sit down in the 
theater to watch the coming attractions.  An 
upcoming documentary about autism
Life Animated" had the name Ron Suskind in 
the credits.  His son is the main subject of the film.  
It was Suskind I had just passed on the street.

The movie "Genius" is about Thomas Wolfe and his editor Maxwell Perkins who was also editor for Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald.  Wolfe’s first 
novel, "Look Homeward Angel" played a large role 
in the movie.  

Previously I had vague notions about Wolfe and his books.  I knew him from the photo I'd seen at the 
West Village White Horse Tavern.  I had no plans to 
see the movie but I happened to play this song by 
the late Steve Young the night before:





Non-events like that happen to people all the time.  
When I played this “Look Homeward Angel” video 
I completely missed the part about "my old friend 
Thomas (the right Wolfe) from Asheville, North Carolina."

"Genius" was an amazing film about two 
Americans played by two British actors.  
The real Wolfe at 6' 6" was not the sad depressed 
writer in the Tavern photo.  “Amplified” and larger 
than life in more ways than one.

Steve Young had the same look in this photo:




“Look Homeward Angel” was published 
two days before the start of Great
Depression and stock market crash of 
1929.  Just his luck.

THE PERIPHERAL:

FROM THE WIKI ENTRY:
They are still referred to as "peripherals" 
despite being permanently attached to 
(and in some sense part of) their host processor..."

Now what does William Gibson's SF

                       T

novel "Peripheral" have to do 

                        e 

with anything?  And why was he in 

the same NYC subway car late 2014 

standing over me with another guy 

about his age about a month after I 

bought but still hadn't read his book?  

Coincidences like that happen all the time.  


Gibson just happened to be wearing the 

same outfit as his photo on the back book 

cover.  At the time I kept saying, “is that 

what's-his-face?  Nah, unpossible!


Except it was his face.  He was doing 

publicity in NYC with badly recorded 

YouTube interviews.  


         T

Peripheral a TV series???

          e 


Do I believe this single comment below?

About men-n-black moving in “upstairs?”


Crowded Housediscreet” Scibot 

fraternal breathern?  


Fake follower carbon based or silicon?  

Both?  Better than the previous fem 

“follower” claiming to be military Intel.  

Reality Winner?  Aka, Winnie?  No such luck.

  1. Came here because of an 8 0r 9 year old comment you made on a YT video. Stayed for the surfeit of high weirdness that you seem to experience-much as I do. I live a mile from NASA and got woken up at 3:05 in the morning (2 hours ago)by people in black ball caps and coveralls moving into the apartment directly above me.Where there are already about a dozen people living. Now, I am reading this. As Hunter S. Thompson said "it just never got weird enough for me". You now have 2 subscribers
