BRONCOILLAC #8

In a world of shock and ah and capitalist warmongers, they want our attention focused directly on the screen, directly on them. They keep us pointed straight ahead toward the terror alert level yellow one day red the next. Who is left to save us all, well its Charlie Gibson to the rescue, with his devil may care attitude, silk tie, hands that have never saw a days worth of work, pompadour comb over, and penny loafers. Does this sound like the start of some Riddle Scott movie no this sounds like the start of my day.I have to watch CNN before I ever step out the thresh hold of my house; this has been ingrained into me. What if they are looking for some white guy 5’2 to5’11, freshly shaven or not, 145 to 200 lbs, driving a white Bronco or red Cadillac, what then I ask you if you fit in to this description would you venture in the wilds of suburbia.Shock is a reaction and the effect of this has a cause. Knee-jerk timing and a steady hand is all that apply. Its not that were caught off guard it is that we are now ready for any eventa falling glass, a stranded puppy, a friend surprise, all these invoke a reaction and it is from here we find our self.People have craved suspense as entertainment for thousands of year from Shakespeare to H.G.Wells. It does not matter if it is on stage, screen, or sidewalk its all-good ground for storytelling. Some would say that with new movie and c g I we can now see and experience things like never before, seeing them in a whole new light. Hogwash I say. Good suspense and folklore is dying out as time goes by. We need to listen with open ears to all that going on around. So much has been lost with languages and cultures extinct now and no way to trace most of their authors their works are lost. We will continue forward through recorded time from now to oblivion with only PG rated Disney movies and network television miniseries dribble.As far as real shock value that is found in everyday life. These are the things that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. There from the mundane little car swerve to avoid a glass bottle, or thinking you have just lost your car keys, to real life and death moments that happen all around you every day. Some people take some of these as life affirming moments, epiphanies, or revelations. Even fewer changing their way of life altogether if it’s climbing the Alps, building a boat, or collecting ten thousand toilet seats, it changes you.I have never been close to something horrible, no one moment of terror, and of this I guess I am lucky, all though luck has no count in it. Most is timing, it’s being at that stoplight, that edge, there at the split second its not that you’re on time just that you are there then. Most of the time people do not look back in regret or hurt, it’s that it becomes a part of them, lives in them, is them.As humans we love the separated fear that comes a long with watching a horror movie in a dimly lit theater the red carpet stretched out in front of us, safe and warm. From gladiators in the roman times to modern day alligators tamers shows that dot Florida we all will gather to witness uncertainties, who will lose a finger today we ask each other 'round the water cooler. It all comes down to having something to talk about if there is a good plot and character development we might listen we might care
