A Few General (lol) Thoughts about the Groves’

By sighinide July 2nd, 2025, under Uncategorized

Ah, I wasn’t sure how to title this one, so here you go.

IDK, I just want to blog about something, and I guess for now I’m stuck in the celebrity scene, so yeah. Though I guess if I’m going to keep this thing I really need to branch out and do other stuff. I mean there is a reason I don’t post much anymore ofc.

But alright, let’s bury this topic. As it turns out, you-know-who is actually alive, tho I won’t say where, I guess we’ll leave her alone rn.

The more important thing is that I fit her into the paradigm I’m working within now, which is that I realized how very many of my important relationships over the years were of people that had high level connections to royalty, or, failing that, intelligence, or, if not that, good old fashioned military.

In this blog entry, enter Cady Groves, test subject #4Gy7rB. You know, this one kinda surprised me. Ya’ll got me good, really.

It wasn’t the Driscolls, I guess. Tho maybe it was, somehow, who knows really. But the real connection for Cady it turns out was I believe her military namesake, General Groves, famous for building the Pentagon and directing the Manhatten Project.

*Record Scratch* Yah, I mean it fits tho. I didn’t see it basically because I didn’t want to, but the shedloads of evidence piling up with my other relationships forced my hand when it came to reconsidering this one. Virtually all of my long-term relationships seem to be with people with high level government connections in some way. I mean, Jesus Christ. Why not this one?

I mean tho, it’s right there. I recently had a very uncomfortable rewatch of the last 2 episodes of Kim Possible. A couple of years ago, a watched these two eps for the first time and noted this:

————————————————-

So I was settled in and watching the almost-last episode of the series, Graduation, Part 1, when I was blindsided, and I mean utterly shellshocked, by a reference to my future love with, of all people, Cady Groves.

Alright, I’m sure that I’m the only human on Earth who has ever caught this, but it’s there, plain as day.

I don’t know how I feel about this one. I’m kinda… yeah. I mean, I get it, at least, now I do, I understand Cady’s real situation, and it sure as fuck wasn’t alcoholism, lol. I know what happened to her, IRL. Like, for real. I get it. The truth there goes wayyyyyy beyond anything that has ever been made “public”. It’s all there, in her lyrics, if you know how to read them correctly, which few people do.

I don’t want to say it, lol. You can’t make me.

I’m not dumb, either. I have considered the possibility that Cady was forced into an early retirement and hidden away somewhere, or… something else. Who knows, I don’t, lol.

————————————————-

Well, now I do know. Both eps of Graduation do indeed contain references to Cady Groves, as I noted earlier, but, as I didn’t note before, they also contain many many references to General Groves. The Pentagon is referenced multiple times in the episodes and I believe is actually used as a template for some of the settings the heroes find themselves in, like as the backdrop for some of the chase scenes. Also- and this is quite chilling- nukes are referenced many times, the threat of nuclear war is used as a template for an alien invasion, the nukes dropped on Japan are specifically referenced at least once, etc. Also flower symbolism saturates the episodes. Dr. Drakken has a flower growing out of his neck, flowers stop the alien invasion, etc. Flowers = Groves. Flower groves. It’s a pun, a reference to the family.

I had figured back then that all of this was co-incidence, since I believed the Spotify garbage bio about Cady: “A vocalist and songwriter whose music blended upbeat pop with personal themes, Cady Groves was born in Marlow, Oklahoma on July 30, 1989. One of seven siblings…” Blah blah fucking blah.

Nah. Her major hit, “This Little Girl”, is a reference to the bomb dropped on Hiroshima, “Little Boy”. Cady Groves is a fucking Groves.

I could go on about this for the next ten pages but I won’t, no point. But my instinct was right about her. She’s an insider’s insider.

I have believed for a looooong time now that certain people have pull in things that massively out weighs their “fame level”. I mean, me, lol. But there’s others too undoubtably.

General Groves built the Pentagon. He oversaw the invention and construction of the world’s first nuclear bombs. He, more than anyone else shaped the modern US military’s direction. He was very possibly the most important American, maybe the most important person, of the 20th century. It would be tough to name someone more important than him from a historical perspective.

He was a kingmaker’s kingmaker, if not the King himself- the piece that hides in the background organizing, while all the other more visible pieces move around to protect him. Kinda like me, natch- and maybe this is how I recognize him for what he was. From Encyclopedia Brittanica:

“During the mobilization period for World War II, from 1940 to 1942, Groves eventually oversaw all army construction in the United States, a mammoth task involving building camps, munitions plants, airfields, depots, and the Pentagon to support an army that grew from 135,000 during the interwar period to an eventual 8,000,000 during World War II”

Yah, no kidding. I wondered on this blog before how you-know-who was just able to walk into the halls of power seemingly unassisted lol.

It is interesting, now, looking at her music and noting how military-inspired it truly is. I wondered about the pirate themes, now I seem them as what they really are.

And as a sidenote, a rewatch of Star Vs. the Forces of Evil made me realize there that the “Cady Groves” character in that series was Oskar Greason lol, unbelievably I did not realize this the first watch around, but the second time I did pick up on it. It’s quite obvious.

Well, that’s it for this post.

I need to post more, this is a fascinating world.

A Few Thoughts on the Maranos’ Saving Zoë, Part IV

By sighinide May 9th, 2025, under Uncategorized

Ok I have wayyyyyyy too many things to talk about in general and no real way to start talking about any of them without things bumping into each other, so I think I might as well start here, and just kinda… work around some stuff I guess.

Alright, so… here goes.

*Cracks knuckles*

So… the Maranos. Well, I’m not really even sure of where to begin talking about them, anymore, honestly. I mean, holy fuckballs, what a topic. I started another post about some stuff that veered into them and Christ, I literally couldn’t pull away, since… Jeebus.

Hooboy.

Well, then.

Them’s an interesting family. Wayyyyyyy more interesting than I had surmised.

Uhm, well, some thoughts: when watching Gargoyles again lately, I was struck with the realization that the most interesting episodes in regards to yours truly were written by a woman named Lydia Marano. The Avalon miniseries, for example, which I wrote about extensively on this blog before. At first, I had dismissed this as coincidence. Time, though, has revealed that this isn’t. Also- City of Stone, The Mirror, and The Gathering– all of which contain the same symbols themes and style that I see repeated, over and over again, across virtually everything that Laura and Vanessa do.

Thus Lydia Marano, like Ellen Marano as I talked about previous, obviously knew about me wayyyy before I knew about her, and, I suppose, was trying to get me into a certain position.

Ok, now- here goes, this might get kinda weird, but if you follow the logic it makes sense, incredibly.

I noticed in Saving Zoë plenty of references to an Italian sister duo of actress Laura Morante and writer Elsa Morante. In the case of Elsa, Laura Marano even went as far as to copy some of her famous poses, and at one point in the film when Vanessa Marano was admiring herself in a mirror some penmanship in the same style of Elsa Morante’s writing was splashed across the screen.

Creepy, wow, lol. IDK, should I continue with this? Hell, why not lol.

Alright, back to Elsa- one of her masterpieces, Lies and Sorcery, features a young Italian woman named Elisa as the protagonist. Fans of the Gargoyles series may recognize that name, as Elisa is the protagonist of that series as well interestingly enough. Here’s Wikipedia’s summary of Lies and Sorcery:

House of Liars (Italian Menzogna e sortilegio) or Lies and Sorcery (2023 translation) is a novel by the Italian writer Elsa Morante published in 1948, set in Southern Italy at the turn of the 20th century, describing a family’s escape from increasingly dire financial and social circumstances into wishful thinking and delusions. The narrative covers three generations of a family in decline, blending elements of the fairy tale as well as the social novel and the coming-of-age-story.[1] In the year of its publication the novel received the Premio Viareggio.[2]

Huh. Interesting. Well, I’ve not read it, but…

Well, at this point you might be wondering why I’m doing this, lol. It’s because it’s 1) There, and 2) Awesome. Just wait till you see where this goes. Trust me, it will blow you the fuck away.

Well, so, I linked Laura and Vanessa to Laura and Elsa for those reasons amongst others, of course. Interestingly, I also linked them to the great Spanish philosopher Gregorio Marañón of all people. I mean, that one I was not expecting, but it was literally right there. It kind of made me think that perhaps my earlier supposition was right- that these Maranos were THE Maranos, in other words, the people that because of their extreme wealth and power comprised a world unto themselves- the Marrano diaspora- something hinted at several times in Saving Zoë, natch.

As an aside, I did just notice right now that besides Elisa, the other protagonist of Lies and Sorcery is Anna. Elisa, Elsa, and Anna… Frozen? Huh, interesting. Yeah, my hunch is that this family is verrrry powerful. Like Collins level powerful. Rothschild powerful. And I have more evidence to prove it.

In listening to Laura’s (Marano, lol) album the other night, I noticed that one of her songs was apparently a duet with her sister. Uncredited, tho. I was surprised. But… there it was. And you can imagine my surprise when I listened further and realized that there was a duet with her former label mate Taylor Swift, too! Yeah literally. Uncredited! I was floored. Look, I swear it’s on there! It’s the song that prominently features the Taylor Swift-esque violins. And unless I’m hearing things, Olivia Rodrigo guests on a song as well. It’s like… you have to look for it, but it’s there. Seriously, it’s fucking baffling, unless you view things like this from the reality of these people being so unbelievably powerful that they are above routine celebrity concerns.

How powerful do you have to be to have a new song featuring Taylor Swift on your album and then not bother to mention it? Really, really fucking powerful, that’s how powerful. Intuitively- what I surmise is that her album is a laundry list of tracks that include guest vocals from the whos-who of young Hollywood- this track has Olivia Holt, this one has Meg Donnelly, this one has Lucy Hale, this one has Kathryn Newton, etc. But of this of course I could be very wrong.

But in general I suspect Laura is on a higher plateau, power-wise, then the people that comprise the top 50 or 100 or whatever artists on Spotify. Just a hunch.

I think this is absolutely fascinating. What a discovery. It’s like finding something unique, like a new element or something. Truly awesome.

My brainstorm is this: I think the Maranos / Marranos are a part of former(?) Italian nobility; in researching the “Marrano hand sign” I came across a study on a government website (NIH.gov) about it that showed Cosimo de’ Medici flashing it and I’ll be damned if he didn’t look like a transgendered clone of Laura. The facial resemblance, the posture, the similarity in the hands, the basic energy, everything, it was stunning and somewhat creepy, but also telling.

To bring all of this home, I think I was wrong earlier about Laura’s song The Valley being about Laurel Canyon, now, I think it’s about Moreno Valley, CA, since Moreno is probably a derivation of “Marano”, kind of like the high school in Austin and Ally, San Marino, which is also the same. The wiki for Austin and Ally says otherwise, but they are wrong lol.

There is an episode of Star Vs. The Forces of Evil that is replete with references to the Marano family (the sisters, Ellen and Lydia too, and maybe others!); it is Gone Baby Gone / Beach Day. Weird stuff, this. I suppose the beach in “Beach Day” is Marano Beach in California. In Gone Baby Gone, the big bad is a weird Luciferian demon hidden behind a magic mirror that is definitively inspired by Puck from Gargoyles. (Mirror symbolism again. What is it with these people and mirrors? Even when I don’t try to point it out it comes up again and again.)

At any rate, I feel as though I’ve cracked the code. To end this train of thought, you might want to look up a place called Marano di Napoli in Italy, and check out it’s crumbling castle. I have a hunch it may have been relevant in this discussion at one point- especially since the icon for Austin and Ally in the Disney+ app was clearly modeled after the fresco in it’s chapel.

And, to place the capstone on this essay, consider the fittingly titled The Royal Treatment– only consider it from a different point of view- that of Laura’s character Lauren being the Royal, and Prince Thomas being the uhm, common shlub, trying to navigate and understand the world of royalty with all it’s twists and turns.

So, Laura, with all of that said, how did I do?

2025 Stuff

By sighinide April 3rd, 2025, under Uncategorized

Woahhhhhh.

Ok, I think I’ll spend some time here after ruminating a bit on twitter (Is it still OK to call it that? Because I intend to lol).

I guess I’ll talk about a few things here and there, but for now, I’ll just post some random stuff. I mean, random, in an unorganized way, as opposed to more controlled and methodical randomness, ofc.

I’ve been plumbing the depths of Spotify lately- testing it’s limits; seeing how far I could take it’s back catalogues. It’s been interesting. Not everything in my archives is in there, but a good deal of it is.

It seems that the early 2000’s gothic underground stuff really was what it said it was.

Of course the Hot Topic type goth stuff- the AFIs, Evanescence and Lacuna Coil stuff was there, naturally, but the really deep stuff… is, mostly, but it does not have much in the way of listeners.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that Cold Meat Industry has a playlist from a fan, but unfortunately Fossil Dungeon doesn’t. In fact, as far as FD is concerned, their roster might as well not exist. I mean, it’s there ofc- for the most part- but if a record is on Spotify and it has no listeners, does it really exist?

IDK.

All of this got me to thinking, again, of the different ways that I could have taken all of this. The cultural stuff, I mean.

Well, this is a big topic. But it’s like… Britney changed it all, right? I wonder what things would have been like without her. But she was just… me, right? Or a part of me, in a way, kind of like the others that followed her.

IDK. A lot of the old metal stuff is on there, but not all. Northern Heritage is underrepresented for obvious reasons. Nuclear Blast isn’t.

Well, when I was trudging through the depths of Apocalyptic / Neofolk, I made a rather shocking and I mean truly unreal discovery, but, alas, it’s one I won’t mention in this post. Maybe later. But… holy crap! lol. Wowwwwww. Still not sure how to even process it, honestly.

Other weird stuff… Terrorcore is on there, lelwut. Weird stuff for sure. Never could get into that stuff but… it’s on there, lol. Maybe I’ll give it another chance now. Merzbow is on there.

Olivia Rodrigo is on there, too. Who knew? LMFAO. But… she is, tho.

Do I have weird taste? I was thinking that I did, and that maybe that’s kind of the reason everything is so messed up these days. It might be.

Meg Donnelly is on there.

Composer Paavo Berglund is on there. Um… yeah, I need to stop, it’s literally after midnight at this point.

A Few Idle Thoughts on the Debate

By sighinide September 12th, 2024, under Uncategorized

Oof, I ate too much tonight. My bad, lol. So I need to do something while I digest, so here goes. LOL. Ow.

Well, I watched the debate. Well… I half watched it, really. Mostly I spent the time searching for new watch faces and apps for my smartwatch while kinda/sorta listening in on the shenanigans. TBH my watching the debate was more a way for me to bond with my mom than anything else, since the debate was really important to her.

Some initial thoughts: it’s really just the same old stuff.

I’ve haven’t cared about anything political in a loooooong time. But I mean… there was Trump, being Trump, and Kamala, being… whoever she is, lol.

IDK who won. Most people in the media seem to think Kamala won, I guess because they just… dislike Trump personally, lol.

I would call it a draw.

Trump came off kinda weird and illogical sometimes, and kinda obsessive too, but he did seem to be, IDK, interesting. Kamala was just there, being a democrat.

Kamala is reeeeally, I don’t know, boring. She comes off like any off-the-shelf democrat. There’s nothing… undemocrat about her, I guess, and that’s her appeal.

Honestly, you could have taken any democrat in congress or from any governorship in the country, put them on stage against Trump, and received essentially the same performance and the same talking points.

Yeah, Kamala. She’s very… democrat-y. I guess that’s her schtick.

A lot was made about Kamala’s reactions to Trump’s claims about illegals eating pets and such. IDK, any liberal with a room temperature IQ and rudimentary knowledge of English would have reacted in the same way to those statements.

When Trump pressed Kamala for an economic plan, Kamala responded by saying that she wanted to help small businesses and the working class and such. Woah! Help small business! Would have thought of that? lel.

I’m in my mid 40’s, seen my share of political stuff, and I can’t recall a democratic candidate saying anything else. I mean, she verbally attacked billionaires. *Yawn*.

*Yaaaawn*

I guess you could say that she was, though, personable. Perhaps moreso than Hilary, I guess, but not as much as Obama, or Bill Clinton, though maybe a smidgen more than Howard Dean, say, or Biden. So she’s… adequate, perfectly average, as a democrat.

IDK, Trump cares too much about himself to help the country, and Kamala is just relentlessly same-y.

A big deal was made about her choice of Tim Walz as running mate, a virtually unknown and unremarkable democrat governor.

People (Democrats) were impressed by this. Why, he’s just as good as she is! Well, yes, but stop to think about that, lol.

Trump is just… Trump. There is no reason to think he will do anything if he gets into office again that he didn’t do the first time around. It will be his first Presidency, just another four years of it. I’m not expecting much, but at least he’s entertaining.

I guess the question boils down to whether you find him threatening or entertaining. Those that find him scary will vote Kamala, those that don’t will vote Trump. I, of course, will be sitting on the sidelines and just watching, lol.

I watched the debate on MSNBC. Afterwards, there was a bunch of Democrat-related fluff. The commentators did what they were expected and paid to do and bashed Trump, promoted Kamala, etc. but they also spent like 10 whole minutes talking about a fucking instagram post from Taylor Swift and in addition to that nonsense there was the usual spate of commercials about this or that democrat-y thing. Big Pharma ads, etc.

There was a commercial being played then that pretty much encapsulates the sheer Democrat-y-ness of the whole thing. It was this commercial featuring a bunch of child actors who were pretending to be hunger-stricken kids in some third world country or the ghettos of America or something, with an overall message of like… “Please give, kids are starving all over the world, and especially in the poor parts of America or in such and such a place”.

IDK, all of these commercials are annoying, but this one especially so, because 1) MSNBC plays this fucking thing relentlessly, I mean I swear I’ve seen it off and on for over a year now, and 2) it implies that there’s some kind of epidemic of starvation amongst kids or something, when that obviously isn’t true, except in small, isolated and vanishing pockets in places like India.

It’s just… Democrat-y propaganda, disguised as a plea for charity. It’s so obviously designed to pull on liberal heartstrings that it’s shameless. It’s even worse than those charity pleas featuring the hurt dogs and such.

There isn’t a country in the world that doesn’t have a problem with obesity, most especially in the poorer communities, thanks to government “aid” and private charities showering these places with free and discounted food. Every nation on Earth now, except for maybe Japan, has a rising obesity rate, and in some places the figures are just jaw-dropping.

I once did some checking online and found a couple of studies that said that the underweight percentage of the world’s population had dropped into the mid-single digits, like it was at 6% of the world’s population or something, and it was falling fast. And this would include people in rich nations like the US and China, so it would include people who are just… naturally very thin.

It’s all just so… dumb, and echo-chambery, and ridiculous. Even the ads are fucking stupid. IDK, everything Democrats do just comes across as being merely tangential to real-world stuff. Not that the Republicans are any better, but that doesn’t excuse Democrats. It’s just the usual shit with them, a lot of posturing and “feel good” and nothing concrete, nothing real.

It’s the same song and dance that some people in our country have been seeing now for 70, 80 years.

*Ugh*. Yawn.

Olympics 2024, Part II

By sighinide September 8th, 2024, under Uncategorized

Woah, well, they’re over now.

This time I decided to not blog during the games and just… let them play out.

And, I decided to really make an effort to watch the Paralympics, too.

3 years ago I actually couldn’t. Comcast was giving me weird errors whenever I tried to stream them. But this time, it was smooth sailing.

Woah, what a learning experience.

Anyhow… too much to talk about in one post, so I’ll talk Olympics first.

A few thoughts… it was fun, although I deliberately saved some stuff to stream for later, like the surfing and sailing. That stuff I will watch eventually.

The gymnastics were fun, as I tweeted, though I did lament the lack of Russian athletes. I’ll spare any talk of political stances. I’ll just say that it’s a shame that Russian athletes, who are largely innocent bystanders in the global political arena, were punished for government actions that they obviously have no control over.

And beyond that, the gymnastics really lacked for a legit competition against the US. Traditionally, that would be Russians, natch. Their style stands as an effective counterpoint against the US’s.

Without the Russians and their expertise-not to mention their influence, women’s gymnastics teetered a bit too far in the US’s favor. There was a real danger of the competitions becoming “The Simone Biles Show”, instead of an edge-of-your-seat competition.

I get the appeal of Biles. And TBH I have no idea who the current crop of Russian gymnasts are. But still- in my mind there will always be an asterisk next to the 2024 gymnastics results. Maybe not in others’ minds, but in mine- yeah.

And overall, the lack of Russians really… took something away from the rest of the field. I don’t know what it is, maybe just a lack of Russian-ness, I guess, but I missed them.

And I found it weird, truly, that the lack of Russian athletes was never mentioned during any of the broadcasts that I saw. It was like… there was some kind of unspoken rule that they weren’t to be mentioned, at all, even in passing, like the country didn’t even exist. It was kind of creepy TBH.

Well… overall, tho, the Olympics were a fantastic experience.

One personal takeaway: I guess I’m not over being an athlete, myself. At one point, I guess probably 10 years ago, I had thought so. Now, I’m thinking not.

I guess I was missing something in my life and the Olympics and a few other things, like reruns of Liv and Maddie, re-awakened it. IDK. So now I’m thinking it’s probably a good idea to start thinking of myself as an athlete again, perhaps, rather than just some guy who exercises.

I guess what I came to is the realization that I’m not “too old” to be an athlete, at least in my chosen sports.

When it comes to something like TKD or Karate, it’s probably possible to be good if not competitive for a long long time. It’s not for nothing that Eastern Martial Arts flicks are filled with “Old Master” type characters. It’s much easier to be a good TKD practitioner in your 60’s than a good rugby or basketball player, for example.

Maybe it’s time that I started taking the martial arts a bit more seriously. Especially since it’s obvious that I age slower than most men do.

IDK, it’s a thought, and one worth a lot of consideration.

Speaking of exercise and gymnastics… I was stunned to see some of the Pilates moves I invented being performed on the floor by a few of the gymnasts (!), during actual competition! I’m not sure of how to account for this- maybe they were gymnastics moves that I retrofitted into my routine? Or, were the athletes taking queues from me?

IDK, I saw at least a few of them being performed on the balance beam, and more than once by Simone Biles herself. Obviously, she did them far better than I ever could, but I was gobsmacked just watching her do them.

I don’t know what to say about this, but I guess I’ll just… leave this here.

But I will say- I don’t remember them being performed in previous years. So… there’s that.

I may actually rewatch the gymnastics competition to get pointers on how to do my own moves better, incredibly. Absolutely unreal.

I still exercise, ofc. I continue to get stronger, doing the exercises I do and continue to invent. This year I’ve made more of an effort to cut, also. We’ll see about that.

Ultimately, I will likely need to start a running routine as well- as was pointed out to me several times by some of track and field athletes- um, thanks, though I want to continue to become stronger first. Also, I have an exercise bike that I use daily.

But yes, running is on the schedule, over time. IDK, I just find pilates… fascinating. I got some new ankle weights this year that I love. I will probably combine them with some of my old ones after awhile to really push things to the limit.

And I just love too much the other workouts I do. IDK, we’ll see. But someday yes, running will be a thing, and yeah, I’ll probably enjoy that as well, but there’s no reason to master everything at once, and probably good reasons not to.

But yeah, there you go.

It struck me halfway in between the “regular” games and the Paralympics that this was probably they real reason for the games. It wasn’t about… the athletes. Is was about the audience. It’s about popularizing movement, and athletics, in the world of the common man (i.e. me).

That’s the symbolism of the gold medals. It’s alchemy. Alchemy, like the name of Liv and Maddie star Dove Cameron’s album. Is about turning straw into gold, right? The straw being us, the commoners.

And I got sucked directly into it, without me knowing or realizing it was happening.

Well… this is not a bad thing to get put in the middle of. Absorbing the life energies of thousands of world class athletes has unlocked something inside of me, and I guess I’ll use it.

Well, that’s enough for now.

I will resume these thoughts later.

Olympics 2024

By sighinide July 26th, 2024, under Uncategorized

Ok so… the Olympics started. Opening ceremony was pretty good. Céline was fucking awesome.

I suppose there’s kind of a limited number of ways you can do these, since there’s like a format you need to follow, with the huge number of athletes and all that that has to be managed. But the French did put some creativity into it, at least, as much as could be allowed, and that was nice. It was a pity about the rain, but nothing could be done about that. I guess in some ways it enhanced things, kind of added a romantic touch to the songs etc.

Other stuff… I think the commercials are a bit subdued this year in comparison to previous years, which is nice. I have found them in the past to be distracting and too loud and in some ways they even overshadowed the athletics which I didn’t much appreciate, so maybe this will be a nice change. I guess we’ll see. There’s still too many of them, in general. Man- they are really pushing the commercial envelope these days with what they can get away with and still hold an audience on broadcast TV.

IDK, every time the Olympics roll around I think to myself… “Self… this time, you won’t get involved. Maybe I’ll watch a thing or two, just to see something, but you know- that’s it, really.” But then- BAM. Right back into it, and it just… I don’t know what it is, really, but I just get… drawn into it, and then… yeah.

So, there it is, then. You know, the Olympics have received some flack in recent years from people but I’ve never thought much of it or in fact maybe any of it was deserved. Even from a libertarian viewpoint- the Olympics are a drop in the bucket, spending wise, compared to things like international wars, and failed government social programs like the war on drugs.

They build out infrastructure, improve the general environment, etc. etc. yeah I’m not going to write a college essay on this lol. But I personally like them.

It’s good to see people doing stuff that’s in some ways inspiring on the boob tube instead of… what is normally shown on broadcast TV, which I don’t watch voluntarily anymore, ever. Some things are best avoided, perhaps.

And the commercials. The fucking commercials. Holy fucking hell, are those things vile. And so… numerous.

Well… I will watch the Olympics, tho. They’re good inspiration.

Well… that’s it, for now.

A Brief Outline of a Working Model of All This

By sighinide July 14th, 2024, under Uncategorized

Alright, so here goes a weird and blind and dumb stab in the dark at all of this stuff.

IDK, it’s the middle of summer and I’m lazy and bored so here goes, IDK and IDC TBH.

Alright, so- just to stay within the grimy confines of the Disney paradigm- I realized something else the other day: nearly every Disney girl I’ve dated, past and present, has symbolized herself as Alice in some capacity, in some way.

Case in point, and to kind of stay on subject (And yes, I realize this is starting to sound like a broken record, but hear me out on this) Cady Groves, who I just realized seems have had her appearance modeled quite strikingly after the original Alice in the Disney oeuvre, Virginia Davis.

But- Kathryn Newton, Audrey Whitby, Olivia, Dove, etc. etc. I’m not going to run through the list again.

Interestingly, they’ve all referenced Atlantis, as well.

Alright, here’s what my conspiratorial, paranoid side thinks is happening.

All of this “Alice” stuff is basically is reference to CERN and the ALICE octagon. The Atlantis stuff is a reference to the ATLANTIS stargate, i.e. the “Island in the Sun”.

I think “Alice” is a codeword for Lucifer (The Light-Bearer). In other words, the guy who will open the portal to the stars (the “stars”, celebs, get it?), the Anti-Christ, i.e. me (which would make sense, since all of these people are basically splinters of my own personality).

So *I* am Alice. And all of these people are just pretending to be me, basically, by emulating Alice or whatever.

Hmmn.

Disney was just one way of getting to this conclusion, I’ll bet. Anime would have been another, I think, and the martial arts another still, politics maybe as well, and in fact there probably would have been hundreds or thousands of roads to this place, but this is just the one I took. IDK, the girls are prettier here, lol.

Well, I think that’s it for now.

Cady Groves, Part XXXI

Ah, OK. Yeah. Holy fuckballs.

Hoooooooly moly, Jeesus H Fucking Christ on a fucking stick.

You know- I’m not even mad at this point. I’m more in awe. Or- actually, more resigned. Like… it’s ok, really. It’s like, I get it, you know?

And this time, I think I really get it.

I… think.

So, we follow the clues.

Like we did with the Dorseys. Walt liked Tommy Dorsey, the two were friends- he invited Tommy to perform at Disneyland, I’ve read, at least once. Hence, we get Kerris Dorsey. I mean, this is oversimplifying things to a huge extent, but you get the idea.

Laura and Vanessa, I still believe, come from Mae Questel.

So… whence Cady?

Today I made a slight revelation. Well, a few, to be honest.

First was that Cady was more plugged-in to the Disney system than even I had realized. And THAT was what left me with the resignation that I was just… outclassed. But, it also made me curious.

On a whim, I brought up the IMDB page for Peter Pan. I scrolled a bit, looked around. Got a bit interested in a few things. Read a few bios. Then… hit the Eureka moment I was waiting for, looking for. And expecting, I guess.

Is this right?

Am I right, Cady? What do you think of this?

So I was reading up on Peter Pan star Bobby Driscoll’s biography, and I was immediately struck by a few things:

  1. His shocking, almost uncanny physical resemblance to Cady herself. I mean for fuck’s sake they look like gender swapped clones.
  2. His shocking, almost uncannily similar life trajectory, to the point of them dying, supposedly, at almost the exact same age, in almost the exact same way.
  3. Their shocking, almost uncannily similar career interests and personal styles.

I went back into Cady’s oeuvre and noticed what I think are pointed references to now not just to Peter Pan, but to other things done by Bobby Driscoll. And am I just seeing things, or do their gravestones even look eerily similar?

We were told that Bobby Driscoll died a pauper, that Disney tossed him out onto the streets and he died alone, penniless, drug addicted, etc, and all sorts of other ridiculous crap.

But what if… what if all of that ridiculous crap is, in fact, a bunch of, in fact, ridiculous crap?

What if he didn’t die? What if he lived and had kids? What if he had grandkids? Who would know?

Look, her music was great, but does it make any fucking sense at all that a random girl from the south would get a recording contract and just… start hanging out with Disney stars, start working with Disney company behind the scenes on projects, start giving interviews on the Recording Association (the Grammys) youtube, perform on the Warped Tour, etc? Song of the South, anyone?

Alright, I’m going to just say it- I think that Cady Groves is most likely a descendant or at least a relative of Bobby Driscoll, star of Peter Pan, Song of the South, Treasure Island, and many other projects.

Look, the stuff I’ve figured out cannot be rationally explained any other way.

You know- I could list the reasons, further, why I think this. I could lay out my case, go through it line by line, explain all the details, but… fuck it. I’ve developed a sixth sense when it comes to these things. I just know. Literally, it’s the only thing that makes sense, given the absolutely overwhelming preponderance of evidence.

You know, I’m not mad. Really. I’m awed, tho, I guess. I mean, if I’m right. I’m more stunned.

Amazed.

Suddenly a whooooole lotta shit makes sense now, like Cady’s fascination with my adventures in Iowa, since you-know-who was also from Iowa. It makes perfect sense that she would find the Iowa part of my life so fascinating, since those would be her family roots, too, if my hypothesis is correct.

And alll the other crap on the rest of her socials makes sense too, like those treasure hunts she used to advertise- a reference to Treasure Island, probably. Holy fuckballs!

What even the fuck!

Absolutely amazing!

Again tho, I’m not even mad, but I am shell shocked.

But… there you go.

You know… even if I’m wrong, I’ve learned so much from all this. Kinda unreal.

Be broke or be wealthy, but never accept mediocrity, indeed.

Thanks.

A Few Thoughts on the Maranos’ Saving Zoë, Part III

By sighinide July 3rd, 2024, under Uncategorized

Still bored, so here we go.

It did occur to me earlier that perhaps Disney still felt a debt to Mae Questel, and that this is why they named the protagonist of How to Build a Better Boy Mae, you know, in honor of. I was wondering about that during the time of watching it. I was like… this name has to have some significance. And in light of my recent brainstorm… perhaps I found it.

But to continue my earlier thoughts to their logical conclusions, I basically hit the nail directly on the head, didn’t I?

I must’ve. Literally nothing else makes sense, unbelievably.

So to follow this stuff to it’s ultimate, baffling and head-spinning finale, I/we are now forced to figure out The Great Mystery Behind All of This, specifically, who/what is “The Valley”?

Alright, some background info: The Valley is a song in the middle (natch) of Laura’s album, a music video, and, interestingly, a re-occurring scene in Saving Zoë. WTF is “The Valley”, actually?

I posit that it is an actual place. If you pause the music video about halfway through (in “The Valley” of the video) you see a book on the floor titled California, which is… kind of an obvious clue, lol. The Valley is a place in California, and mostly likely in Los Angeles, owing to the angel symbolism found in the music video.

To skip to the end here, I think “The Valley” is Laurel Canyon, birthplace of the Fanning sisters, the hippie movement, Scientology, Lookout Mountain Studios, and who the fuck knows what else.

Laura Valley, Laurel Canyon. Hmmn.

And am I correct in thinking that the music video for The Valley is filled with symbolic references to Lookout Mountain Studios? The ivy, the lockers, the graphs, the paper airplane? And the lyrics? “Come back, come back to the valley?” That’s a callback, correct?

Oh, and how could I forget? The baseball symbolism! Obvious is obvious, no? The first one third of the video occurs on a baseball diamond! Is this a reference to Mae Questel herself, whose last role was in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and whose last words put on film were “Play Ball!”?

Wouldn’t THAT be something? Holy Macaroni!

Jeebus Christ!

IDK, I could be wrong about these things, but man, what a group of amazing… speculations! Holy moly!

And you know, if these ideas are right, it would logically explain many many things, at least from my point of view.

Very interesting indeed.

Random Thoughts on Recent Posts

I guess I could just follow this line of thinking into just… IDK, some kind of pointless space out in the middle of nowhere (if we’re not already there), but, IDK, I’m bored and it’s the middle of summer and I’m feeling lazy so… lol.

A few random thoughts on those grisly Cady posts… IDK why she triggers me. I think it’s because she’s not “there”. So, she’s free to analyze freely. I don’t have to be nice, and hold back. And also, I think it’s because she was mentally linked to yours truly at such a young age.

What I think is that if my brainstorm is in fact correct, and what we’re seeing here is pirate scripted MKULTRA style programming coming from her career, what we’re seeing is my own thoughts, re-packaged and stylized and sent back to me (and to others). What I think I see / hear here are some of my own happiest experiences and thoughts from my own childhood being recited back to me by a cute chick with a nice voice.

After thinking about it the other day, the feeling that I get listening to her music is identical to that which I felt when I was a kid relaxing on the shores of the Mississippi river, watching the gulls, listening to the boats and collecting sparkly seashells on the beach. So *that* is why it appeals to me.

What it kinda seems as though happened is that some people took those experiences and feelings, my experiences with the Monkey Island series of PC games, and my experiences riding the “It’s a Small World” ride at Disney World, put them all in a blender and came up with… all of this stuff that I’m talking about here, whatever this stuff even is.

Regarding the ride… I cannot believe I didn’t see the connection earlier, but it’s as obvious as anything else. Song titles like One World? And the YT channel… the “Cooking” series is probably a callback to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Geddit? With the food. Jeezus.

I could on, and on, and on, but there’s no reason. The music videos, the references to me watching Peter Pan in Iowa, etc. At a certain point the evidence piles up enough.

Well, there you go.

Is this… useful info? IDK. But, it’s info. lol. Better than doing nothing, I guess. lol.

Other things to consider: I think I mae (sic) have finally discovered the reason the Maranos are plastered everywhere all over Disney+. I *think*, and this is just a hunch… I *think*… that Laura, Vanessa and Ellen are related to Mae Questel, infamous voice of Betty Boop, Olive Oil, and… Minnie Mouse.

This is just a guesstimate, based on a huge, huge pile of circumstantial evidence.

Well… IDK. Stuff to mull over this summer, when I’m not doing anything else I guess.
