Madness

I, tried so hard to let you go, but some kind of madness has swallowed me whole. I, i have finally seen the light and i have finally realized, what you mean.      Madness, The Muse


So while piled under a million blankets in an undisclosed location. I thought to myself, time to start writing. But what should I write about hmm, I'm freezing, and tired from squatching and I'm getting cranky.


You should write about something you know they say. Well, what if you write about something you don't know? But really, really want to know? I'm out and about this weekend freezing for the love of a squatch, that I don't know. I've never seen him before. I've never been given a first-hand account of a sighting and what it felt like to truly see him.


Can I continue to write about him so heartfelt week after week without this amazing event taking place? Can I appreciate the reason why I'm out here this weekend and any other in these freezing temperatures without truly having that heartfelt conversation with another person after their sightings? I've read many. Listened to many told on the radio and television. But not to me.


And if I do will it become so real that I'll be afraid to go out again. Or end up disappointed with the squandered time. Everyone needs a reason or a muse for their art no matter the medium they use to express it. But if your muse is something you may never see or touch, will it slip away before you ever really had it, taking your voice with it?


For me, the writer, it's an all too possible outcome. I write and write all day. But this is for me, it's the only one that matters. My words about a subject I care about, want to do proud. But might not be able to sustain forever. As that clock ticks, I feel more stress that I need to get out there more. Back to where I started in the freezing cold location again with new friends preparing to put my myself into a situation, I said I would never do again. One of total madness.

He Does Exist..The Semi-Autobiographical Tale of Dyatlov Pass

Image
On yet another glorious snowy morning in Massachusetts, the 3rd one in as many weeks, I sat out in the doorway just watching it all come down. I couldn't help but think-what if I was outside lost and stranded? What if the abominable snowman exists and is out hunting right now?  It made me think of a tale, a true tale, of an abominable snowman that was out prowling, that did hunt people. He currently resides in the icy slopes of Dyatlov Pass, in the Ural Mountains of Russia. I feel relatively safe telling his tale from this location. It would be a lot of work for him to get here. But just in case, I have a Louisville Slugger near my door. His tale is the most frightening one I've ever heard and has haunted me since I first heard of it many years ago. (Many? Did my editor put that word in)?It's a scary tale because it is real...and we have proof. On February 2nd, 1959. Nine unsuspecting college students entered the liar of a Yeti and didn't survive to tell this tal

Booger Funnels...

Image
This post is from a guest blogger, Sunday Monroe from Team Cryptid Mississippi. I have not changed any text from the piece beyond basic editing, which you all know I’m terrible at...Thank you to Sunday for sharing and emailing me this... Boogers are always in transition. They move about from place to place as needs dictate. They must, no moss grows on them for sure. It is what they have to do, it’s how they survive. This practice probably has more than a little to do with why they remain generally undocumented. You cannot define what you can’t pin down and examine. This is a trait that you can take advantage of if you want to go and see one for yourself, by thinking like a Booger thinks. If I was a Booger, why would I leave the relative comfort of my den? Because I’m hungry, of course. It takes a lot of food to support a single, large primate much less an entire family of them.  Few places offer food in sufficient amounts year round to support a family of Boogers. In most location

A Moment with a Monster 

Image
An MC Monster,  that is. On this monster of a Monday  I had a chance to ask the artist himself a few questions about his amazing characters, how he creates them and how you all can get an original from him. And I’m sure after you see them, you will be a follower of his art. And spoiler alert, he may, may,  be coming to a city near you soon.. An interview with an artist: Q: Can you tell me a little bit about the characters you create? “The monsters I create aren’t evil entities, but more of like watchful protectors, leaders or guides through the spiritual realm.”  My favorite piece, I picture it as a moment between the big guy and myself.. Q: When did you begin creating them? “I started playing around with this style in June 2017, after my little sister passed away.” Q: What process do you use to create these wonderful characters? “The process is more often then not just winging it. I lay down a background, and then sort of just go for it. When I’m doing commission pieces I fo
