The heat is on

So I watched Back to the Future two this week and I notice some things that just didnt work. Okay you remember when Doc tells Marty that if you take the time machine and go into the past and change something it alters the future and you will never return to the same future? Well Old Biff from the future with floating cars stells the time machine and goes back to 1958 to give himself the sports almanac. Now I am not a crazy mad scientist but if went back in time and gave himself the almanac he shouldnt have been able to return to the future from where he stole the time machine return it to Marty because that future wouldnt exist anymore, infact the time machine shouldnt even exist because after Biff changed the future with giving his youngself the almanac Doc gets thrown into an insane asylum before the time machine was even invented making it a time/space paradox... SO THIS MOVIE IS (For lack of searching for a better word) FUCKED! You cant change the past and return to the same future from which you came. NO!

Another Piece of poor writing is at the very end after every thing happens and the time machine gets hit by lightning sending doc back in time to the 1800s Marty leaves the hoover board on the side of the road. What the hell is that? There is no way that he could do that, If some idiot in the 50s stumbled upon a floating skateboard what do you think would happen? Someone would figure out how it worked and there would be a revolution of technology skipping all the 60s "computers as big as a house" bullshit and the future would once again be forever changed.

One last thing, The guy who delivers the letter to Marty, you know the letter that Doc wrote him from the 1800s to tell him everything is okay and he went back in time and blah blah blah... Well wouldnt that guy after reading the letter with Marty freak out and tell everyone about the time machine and probably cause some sort of space time paradox? I mean knowing that time travel exists before the time machine exists is basically setting the future to happen ahead of itself much like the hoover board scenario.

Oh Micheal J Fox. What have you done? I used to think you were the coolest guy ever and now I realize your entire career has been a shame...my childhood is ruined. good day.

This book should not exist

It's late on a mid-October 2015 night and I am struggling with whether I should buy a $1,200 last-minute ticket to California to be with my family for my mother's emergency brain surgery. A week prior everyone was together in my house for an adventurous weekend climbing a wind turbine and celebrating my grandmother's 90th birthday, now we are on the eve of my mom going under the gamma knife for emergency brain surgery. Turns out she has a size-able tumor growing on the surface of her brain.   It's a bit of miracle that the tumor was discovered in the first place as my mom's routine cancer screenings didn't usually include brain scans; however, she had been complaining of blurry vision and balance issues, plus she had become quite irritable having been pushed to take FMLA from work to deal with what she thought was post-cancer "brain fog." Thankfully her doctor had the good sense to add it all up and include her brain in her next cancer scan. Sure enou...

Finding "Clarity" in 1999

Image
I distinctly remember Tuesday, February 23, 1999. I was still living in Iowa and immediately after school let out I road with a friend to Best Buy so he could pick up Eminem's freshly released second album. Always down for a hang, I road along as there was one album I had read about and wanted to see if it was in stores. That album was Jimmy Eat World's Clarity . On the ride home I didn't bother asking to put in my purchase as my friend was not a rock fan. So for the next hour or so of cruising we blasted Slim Shady at painful volumes. For those uninitiated, this was the "Hi! My name is (ticka ticka) Slim Shady" album. I was indifferent to rap so it got a little long and tiresome by roughly the third time through the album. When I finally listened to Clarity it underwhelmed. Nothing on the album is lyrically hook centered on kinetically riff focused like later Jimmy Eat World releases. For a 16 year-old ska and pop punk super fan, Clarity go...

My Favorite Creative

Image
As I type this two drastically different things are happening; I'm in California for a film festival and my mother, Linda Boberg, is lying in a Des Moines hospice bed. In fact she started hospice care the day I flew out here. As you can imagine, I'm experiencing quite the emotional tug of war. When you have a kid you commonly examine where they get certain traits. I've always been able to parse that I get my emotional, empathetic tendencies from my mother and my pragmatic, compartmentalizing skills from my Dad (another raging tug of war at the moment). This list could go on forever, but one thing I've never fully understood is where my creative drive came from. Now with the writing on the wall, it's obvious my mom flipped the creativity switch. It wasn't until my Mom self-published a novel at 65 years old that I understood how creative she is. In the last three years she's self published half a dozen books and written many more. Her first bout of cancer in 2...
