Deep Pencil - the musings of Morgan Bell

 
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it did it really make a sound? If i post a blog and nobody reads it was there really any point? You have entered the random thinking space of Morgan Bell . . . These are my musings . . . things about my life written off the top of my head . . . written in an informal disjointed style almost completely devoid of punctuation, this is where i flesh out writing ideas, discuss my life, and generally be self indulgent . . . it is also the bargain bin for articles which do not fit in with the film or arts themes of my other blogs . . . so have a wander around my mind, have a laugh, have a think, be nice, and humour me!

enough with the xylophone music already

night owls and insomniacs unite!

i like writing at night, i stay up all night until the wee small hours in search of that peace and serenity that allows the words to flow . . . something about the combination of it being dark and cold and still, no interuptions, the rest of the world slumbers and my cat purrs away in lethargic bliss . . . everything just slots into place like a combination lock, my ideas align, and the writer within me is released

yes its all very magical!

so i like to have the TV on in the background . . . unfortunately beyond a certain hour the box is plagued by really irritating and repetitive informercials . . . they are extremly distracting!

so i flick to ABC2 for their muzac selection, its a screen displaying the programming for the next day while some elevator tunes toodle away . . . sometimes we get something jazzy, or perhaps something folksy (think Sarah Palin on a pan-flute), or maybe some bluegrass, or assorted acoustic and piano delights . . . on the whole they usual have some ok little ditties and its the closest thing i have to radio reception in the area i live

but occassionally ABC2 goes a little nuts with the xylophone music . . . if it is distracting it has to go!



so i switch to the evangelical christians on the Kenneth Copeland Ministries (remember my post on Jeremy Pearsons?) which i dont mind so much . . . i think i am getting subliminal messages of motivation from the preachers as they chat around their homely kitchen table setting

this is until Benny Hinn comes on!

geez louise how annoying is that guy!

hes so loud and obnoxious, the constant yelling is worse than all the informercials combined! (yes Pro-Active, Victorias Principle AND Marie Windsor Pilates!)

Benny Hinn





Benny Hinn is one of those really awful TV evangelists who rants and raves and then gets people from the crowd to line up to be blessed, when the audience members come near him they start shaking and girating around until Hinn puts his hand on their forehead and they collapse in a heap on the floor . . . its a little bit silly!

needless to say when its between Benny Hinn and the xylophone music, the xylophone music wins out every time!

heres some Benny Hinn set to Black Sabbath:



imagine my horror if Benny Hinn was ever set to xylophone music!

hi alt_ed,
its probably a bit more peaceful than her moose-shootin' gun!
but she is the epitome of all things folksy!

People. Are. Stupid.

That's all I have to say about that.

I love the woman at 0:22 who doesn't fall back in a rapturous state, she makes sure a) she doesn't bash into the floor and b) that she is lying down comfortably haha. The guy at 1:35 looks like a cross between Charles Manson and Rai Thistlethwayte from the Thirsty Mercs!

Imagine the pong from the pits all of those raised Rednickistani arms. It's worse than Cityrail at peak hour.

hi Cheryl,
HAHA you picked out all the funny people!
that guy really does look like Charles Manson!
i also like the little boy towards the end who is trying really hard to keep his eyes closed and not blink!

I believe, I liken it to pro-wrestling too. Like to see him in the ring with Goldberg. I'd pay to see him get coathangered. Goldberg, that is. Praise!

By the way, prepare yourself for a lot more xylophone. You're going to need to, where you're going.

Well, Morgan. I knew how frustrated you are, especially when you have to listen to the xylophone over, over and over again...

By the way, I was wondering what Palin looks like, when she is on a pan flute lol

hi Wilson,
i would like to see Palin on pan-flute also - i wonder if she would seem calming or if the shotgun in her other hand would still scare people off? haha
thanks for stopping in buddy
