Someone’s mash/blend of Gotye & Kimbra’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” over the instrumental to Beyonce’s “Sweet Dreams” pretty sweet.

Bin Laden? Arrested Development? Connected? I Think So.

Maybe the creators/writers of Arrested Development had the right where abouts of Bin Laden. In the first season you find out that George Bluth SR might have “committed light treason” and by the end of the second possibly on the way to the third season you find out that he has been building model homes in Iraq.  The show itself is a big allegory on the War on Terrorism with the mistaken photo of Tobias Fünke’s balls as WMD and George Bluth SR hiding in an underground cave while all resembling an uncanny look of Bin Laden lingers. At the end though while Michael and Buster are there in Iraq, they uncover evidence that the mini-palaces George Sr. built in Iraq were actually ordered and paid for by the CIA for wiretapping purposes. Hasn’t this country had its problems with wire tapping (Bush, Nixon).

I think that its rather ironic (I didn’t say funny) that Osama Bin Laden was shot down in the head in a mansion verses in the show Michael and Buster walked into a mansion filled with Bin Laden impersonators which in real life, Bin Laden had a lot of followers that attemped and sometimes succeeded to sway the American’s. Another possibly irrelevant connection to Bin Laden and Arrested Development has to be the very fact that even imprisoned or in hiding both were able to conduct business and lay out plans. Yes, one is completely fictional and the other is more of less real life. George Bluth SR even in jail still got the storage warehouse where the “important” documents burned down, faked his own death, it might have also been due to the fact that he had an almost evil twin or alter ego per say twin lurking around but Bin Laden well you could say had tons of followers or in general (not being racist, just factual) that looked like him. How many times in the news did you hear “found bin laden”? Far too many.

Even with history being made, there are skeptics on whether or not that A) it was Bin Laden and B) if he is really dead or not. There is no doubt in my mind that he ISN’T dead (DNA Test proved it to be) but all relates back to Arrested Development. How times did the family think that they found George Sr? Too many times.

So what am I trying to say about Bin Laden and Arrested Development? Did Bid Laden come first or Arrested Development? (you should know the answer to that).

Obviously everything you see on the television is real so therefore I just assumed Arrested Development is truly the proper news source (like onion news), no but really I can appreciate the fiction adaptations of the War on Terrorism in this particular show. Yes, it is serious subject matter but there is nothing wrong with having a little fun poking at the political side of things. Glenn Beck* does it all the time, so that means you can too.

*fuck Glenn Beck.

Jabberwocky

by Lewis Carroll (Charles L. Dodgson)
From Through the Looking-Glass, 1871

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
    The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
    The frumious Bandersnatch!”

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
    Long time the manxome foe he sought—
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
    And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
    The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
    And burbled as it came!

One two! One two! And through and through
    The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
    He went galumphing back.

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
    Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”
    He chortled in his joy.

‘Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.

That Reminds me:

somehwere i have never travelled,gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look easily will unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me,i and
my life will shut very beautifully,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility: whose texture
compels me with the colour of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands

		e.e.cummings

I am so excited that they are coming out with a movie version of this.

The book was amazing!
