The boy who cried "awesome."

One day someone at Dark Horse asked if I was interested in writing a story about young Hellboy. I wasn’t, but instead of saying no, I said “What about two pages of Hellboy eating pancakes?” I thought it was a riot. I didn’t expect anyone else to like it, but it turned out to be a big hit with a lot of readers. It’s nice when that happens.

We live in a glorious age of information meeting technology meeting convenience. And - while I really want a jetpack, and I would have likely made an excellent moonshiner, I happen to live now - even in this era, the ever evolving giant of technology has drawbacks.

The noise-to-signal is no longer a little bleed over from another station, or the static of something just out of range, but that of a billion signals falling all over each other to slap you upside the head with their message/opinion/sales pitch/etc.

When all is right in my world, perhaps my biggest personal internal struggle is finding a way to filter the noise in my head; I have enough troubles with the my own wavelengths overlapping, let alone all the external ones bombarding me from the outside world.

My head is a collection of kindergarteners handed a box of instruments while the thought I’m *trying* to hear is the teacher trying to remember a tune on the edge of his/her mind. The exterior influences - every other form of noise/media, welcome or otherwise - are/is an asshole parent who just dropped off a birthday cake and a case of jolt cola - “Have fun, Jimmy!”

Follow me so far? (I meander, but I generally have a point)

In a world of auto-tuned 3000 track recordings backed with a full digital orchestra and 4,000 advertisements aimed at me all day, I find myself increasingly drawn (and jealous/inspired) to anyone who can/could make something as stripped down as the song above and do it with their heart. I’m astounded by anyone who can shut the world out and simply *create* (especially considering the trouble I have simply falling asleep some nights.) something so perfectly, tersely, genuine.

The point is, despite the ever present din of fuc-king everything nowdays, it can be accomplished.

It can be appreciated.

It can be awesome.

Try find some yourself sometime, and enjoy it.

**Incidentally, that’s Son House up there, and if you ain’t heard, you better ask somebody, because that man and his music are awesome to the bone. Check out the Library of Congress recordings if you can find them, or any of his albums or the numerous comps floating around.

THE BEAUTY IN EXPIRED LA BY VICKY MOON

CA, Los Angeles-based photographer Vicky Moon - “Expired L.A. is an on going series of my exploration of Los Angeles at night. Every building is unique and captivating, as well as the individual color shifts each building creates with every exposure. I am fascinated by the drama that is created by the night sky and seek the beautiful in the over looked; I find the mundane to be extravagant and I find the beauty in the expired; This is my Los Angeles.”

I feel like “Thief”-era Michael Mann would love these as much as I do.

RELATED: I watched “Manhunter” for the first time in years last night and was disappointed to find I remembered it being much better than it is. Not a bad movie, but it hasn’t aged well and is uncharacteristically uneven, even for Mann.

There is still much to like about it, but it was a reminder that, like home, it isn’t so much “it” as you that changes. Take what you can from your visit, don’t to get bummed by the changes, and try to remember the old times you enjoyed without getting hung up on them.

Tough to move forward if you’re always looking behind you.
