Fear

Hey dudes.... zomg... I saw Paranormal Activity a couple of nights ago. Holy shit, man.... that movie was ridiculously scary... like, truly frightening. What gets me is that its such a simple concept, yet it induces real fear in millions of people. I'm not gonna say anything revealing about the movie, but just know that you're probably gonna be spooked for days on end.

I noticed a pattern of fear... like, how fear is created. It all stems from what I like to call "fear of the unknown." It could be anything... it could be fear of death, ghosts, welfare of children, a bad neighborhood, it all stems from not being sure of something. For example, people fear death because they don't know for sure what will happen to their being after they die. Just about every religion has a belief about the afterlife, but not one person knows for sure. Simple, yet powerful stuff... every horror movie I've ever seen feeds off of fear of the unknown. I think FDR said it best, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself."

I JUST missed catching 11:11....fml. Giants play today against the Saints... Giants are undefeated and I think the Saint are too. This been a good year for sports for me.... Yankees up 2-0 in the ALCS, Giants undefeated... nice. All I need is for the Knicks to do good for a change and then I'll be set. I think I'll catch you guys another time... I got writer's block =(. Later.
