I watch YouTube a lot. I spend a lot of time concentrating on today's news, a lot of it is clips dealing with the statements of Donald Trump, a lot with the story of our time. I don't feel the need to expound. The community here is already well instructed.
However, sometimes while watching my mind for whatever reason wanders into the realm of , "OMG."
I find myself thinking of two movies: Idiocracy and The Mouse That Roared. I'm sure there's others, but these will do. Simply put, these are vignettes, either one of which would be safely at home ensconced within a Twilight Zone episode. They are impossibilities. In the case of Idiocracy, the stupid will never reign. In the case of The Mouse That Roared nothing and no one will ever accidentally conquer this country. They are movies. Period.
Yet, here we are in reality and I can't explain it, and I've heard no irrefutable explanation.
Is it possible? Could it at all be believable that we are in an alternate reality? Did someone, somewhere make an outlandish scenario, starring us, and filmed it for posterity. My God! Are we up for something in a galactic Academy Awards ceremony somewhere?
Part of me wants to say," Just kiddin'." The other part is going, "Oh Christ."
If it's really, really just a movie, why am I so nauseous? I pray sometimes that it is just that.
"It's only a movie, honey. It's only a movie."
