Say Hello To My Little Friend
Table of contents for 3/Topics And TV
I wasn’t kidding. He is little. And he is my friend. We just met the other day at the botanical gardens. But we hit it off right away. What were you expecting? Al Pacino and that great scene in Scarface? Al spraying bullets far and wide. No. We can get that most anywhere but here it’s all about peaceful living. We can do crazy here too. But it’s a different kind of crazy.
It’s Saturday night and we just got back from dinner. I see a movie in our future. I haven’t seen the one about Sparta yet and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. I want to see King Leonidas kick the messenger into the well again. I am looking forward to it because I am a peaceful person and need actors to express things I have sometimes felt in the faraway land of my darker emotions.
I had a boss one time who needed to be kicked into a deep dark pit. Maybe I wll put his face on the messenger when it comes up in the movie. This guy was kind of sadistic and now he is retired. He can’t mess with anybody anymore.
Do you think this is why these movies are so popular? Shooting a guy full of holes or kicking him into a well is not totally incomprehensible to most of us. On some level we know what they are feeling. There is some admiration for these guys in some of us. Maybe their genes don’t fit neatly with ours all the way up the helix but there are some interlocking pieces down below.
I don’t think that’s the case with Michael Vick however. And I think that he has fewer friends than just about anybody including Hannibal Lecter right now. Because nobody can understand what he did. Except maybe Jamie Foxx. I have never seen anybody famous with so few friends in my life. The guy sitting in front of the liquor store with a wine bottle has more friends than Mike right now. Because nobody has ever had a mean boss who was a dog. Nobody ever had an alcoholic and schizophrenic parent who was a dog. Nobody ever had a competitor in the drug business who was a dog.
We just can’t understand it. We have to take care of our little friends. They were put here to take care of us. And we need a whole lot of care and understanding.
