The Tomorrow People
JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Posted by H.V.O.M at 12:00 AM Wednesday, March 09, 2011
What this reminds me of is something I was thinking about the other day. There was a time early 2006 when a fellow resident of that homeless shelter I was in, that I referred to as the Pioneer Square gulag, started talking to me and he brought up the topic of time travel and was trying to talk to me about it. We were sitting in the television room of that homeless shelter and I think we were the only two people in there in that room where I was often agitated because I felt as though there were hidden microphones in there and that was how the people on the live television news broadcast knew what I was saying as I was cursing at them for being idiots as I sat there by myself in the early morning watching the television news.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Re: Journal May 27, 2006
Went to Camp Couchdale in the summer of '81, after graduating 9th grade.
Met a girl named Phoebe, took her out on the lake in a boat and paddled around. We wrote letters for a long time afterwards.

As I recall, Phoebe Bailey wrote in a letter to me to “never forget that dance where we met because I never will.” That is quite humorous, really more humorous than I can articulate, if it represents me landing on Saturn’s moon, Phoebe. I have these moments where I want to scream because there is something locked in my mind that I can’t articulate. I was thinking something similar about the ‘darkness’ surrounding my spacecraft as I was billion miles away. There is truly a “great lakes” of emotion stored in my mind associated with so much that is forgotten. I feel this great humor in my mind about that comment from Phoebe, I feel that if I remember, I will laugh and laugh and laugh, for days on end probably.

October 1, 1978
Governor Askew, Senator Chiles, Senator Stone, Senator Stevenson, who is the chairman of the Subcommittee on Energy and Technology, Congressman Tiger Teague—who is the retiring chairman of the Committee on Science and Technology, and who has done so much to bring our space program to our Nation and who wrote the legislation establishing the Space Medal of Honor—Congressman Fuqua, Congressman Gibbons, Congresswoman Boggs, ladies and gentlemen; many of you who have helped in past years to make the achievements commemorated this afternoon possible:
This is one of the most exciting events of my life. For a number of weeks since I planned to come here, I've been thrilled at the prospect of meeting these famous men on my right, who have done so much to inspire all those who love our country and who have confidence in the future of human beings.

Congressional Space Medal of Honor
First awarded 1978
The Congressional Space Medal of Honor was authorized by the United States Congress in 1969 to recognize "any astronaut who in the performance of his duties has distinguished himself by exceptionally meritorious efforts and contributions to the welfare of the Nation and mankind." The highest award given in NASA, it is awarded by the President of the United States in Congress's name on recommendations from the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The award is a separate decoration from the Medal of Honor, which is a military award for extreme bravery and gallantry in combat.
Although the Congressional Space Medal of Honor is a civilian award of the United States government, it is authorized as a military decoration for display on U.S. military uniforms due to the prestige of the decoration. In such cases, the Congressional Space Medal of Honor is worn as a ribbon following all United States Armed Forces decorations.
To be awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, an astronaut must perform feats of extraordinary accomplishment while participating in actual space flight under the authority of NASA.
1980 film "The Final Countdown" DVD video:
US Navy chief petty officer: It's a code.
US Navy commander Dan Thurman - USS Nimitz CVN 68 executive officer: Can you break it, Chief?
US Navy chief petty officer: I think someone's putting us on.
US Navy commander Dan Thurman - USS Nimitz CVN 68 executive officer: Why?
US Navy chief petty officer: Because I learned this code at Great Lakes. It's ancient.

She looked out the kitchen window and saw him just sitting there on the curb, not playing with his trucks or the wagon or even the balsa glider that had pleased him so much all the last week since Jack had brought it home. He was just sitting there, watching for their shopworn VW, his elbows planted on his thighs and his chin propped in his hands, a five-yearold kid waiting for his daddy.
Wendy suddenly felt bad, almost crying bad.
She hung the dish towel over the bar by the sink and went downstairs, buttoning the top two buttons of her house dress. Jack and his pride! Hey no, Al, I don't need an advance. I'm okay for a while. The hallway walls were gouged and marked with crayons, grease pencil, spray paint. The stairs were steep and splintery. The whole building smelled of sour age, and what sort of place was this for Danny after the small neat brick house in Stovington? The people living above them on the third floor weren't married, and while that didn't bother her, their constant, rancorous fighting did. It scared her. The guy up there was Tom, and after the bars had closed and they had returned home, the fights would start in earnest-the rest of the week was just a prelim in comparison. The Friday Night Fights, Jack called them, but it wasn't funny. The woman-her name was Elaine-would at last be reduced to tears and to repeating over and over again: “Don't, Tom. Please don't. Please don't.” And he would shout at her. Once they had even awakened Danny, and Danny slept like a corpse. The next morning Jack caught Tom going out and had spoken to him on the sidewalk at some length. Tom started to bluster and Jack had said something else to him, too quietly for Wendy to hear, and Tom had only shaken his head sullenly and walked away. That had been a week ago and for a few days things had been better, but since the weekend things had been working back to normal-excuse me, abnormal. It was bad for the boy.
Her sense of grief washed over her again but she was on the walk now and she smothered it. Sweeping her dress under her and sitting down on the curb beside him, she said: “What's up, doc?”

She stood up. “I'm going upstairs for a cup of tea, doc. Want a couple of cookies and a glass of milk?”
“I think I'll watch for Dad.”
“I don't think he'll be home much before five.”
“Maybe he'll be early.”
“Maybe,” she agreed. “Maybe he will.”
She was halfway up the walk when he called, “Mommy?”
“What, Danny?”
“Do you want to go and live in that hotel for the winter?”
Now, which of five thousand answers should she give to that one? The way she had felt yesterday or last night or this morning? They were all different, they crossed the spectrum from rosy pink to dead black.
She said: “If it's what your father wants, it's what I want.” She paused. “What about you?”
“I guess I do,” he said finally. “Nobody much to play with around here.”
“You miss your friends, don't you?”
“Sometimes I miss Scott and Andy. That's about all.”
She went back to him and kissed him, rumpled his lightcolored hair that was just losing its baby-fineness. He was such a solemn little boy, and sometimes she wondered just how he was supposed to survive with her and Jack for parents. The high hopes they had begun with came down to this unpleasant apartment building in a city they didn't know. The image of Danny in his cast rose up before her again. Somebody in the Divine Placement Service had made a mistake, one she sometimes feared could never be corrected and which only the most innocent bystander could pay for.
“Stay out of the road, doc,” she said, and hugged him tight.
“Sure, Mom.”

“I didn't bring you here, Danny. You brought yourself. Because you knew.”
“No-”
“You've always known,” Tony continued, and he began to walk closer. For the first time, Tony began to walk closer. “You're deep down in yourself in a place where nothing comes through. We're alone here for a little while, Danny. This is an Overlook where no one can ever come. No clocks work here. None of the keys fit them and they can never be wound up. The doors have never been opened and no one has ever stayed in the rooms. But you can't stay long. Because it's coming.”
“It…” Danny whispered fearfully, and as he did so the irregular pounding noise seemed to grow closer, louder. His terror, cool and distant a moment ago, became a more immediate thing. Now the words could be made out. Hoarse, huckstering; they were uttered in a coarse imitation of his father's voice, but it wasn't Daddy. He knew that now. He knew
(You brought yourself. Because you knew.)
“Oh Tony, is it my daddy?” Danny screamed. “Is it my daddy that's coming to get me?”
Tony didn't answer. But Danny didn't need an answer. He knew. A long and nightmarish masquerade party went on here, and had gone on for years. Little by little a force bad accrued, as secret and silent as interest in a bank account. Force, presence, shape, they were all only words and none of them mattered. It wore many masks, but it was all one. Now, somewhere, it was coming for him. It was hiding behind Daddy's face, it was imitating Daddy's voice, it was wearing Daddy's clothes.
But it was not his daddy.
It was not his daddy.
“I've got to help them!” he cried.
And now Tony stood directly in front of him, and looking at Tony was like looking into a magic mirror and seeing himself in ten years, the eyes widely spaced and very dark, the chin firm, the mouth handsomely molded. The hair was light blond like his mother's, and yet the stamp on his features was that of his father, as if Tony-as if the Daniel Anthony Torrance that would someday be-was a halfling caught between father and son, a ghost of both, a fusion.
“You have to try to help,” Tony said. “But your father… be's with the hotel now, Danny. It's where he wants to be. It wants you too, because it's very greedy.”
Tony walked past him, into the shadows,
“Wait!” Danny cried. “What can I-”
“He's close now,” Tony said, still walking away. “You'll have to run… hide… keep away from him. Keep away.”
“Tony, I can'tl”
“But you've already started,” Tony said. “You will remember what your father forgot.”
He was gone.
And from somewhere near his father's voice came, coldly wheedling: “Danny? You can come out, doc. Just a little spanking, that's all. Take it like a man and it will be all over. We don't need her, doc. Just you and me, right? When we get this little… spanking… behind us, it will be just you and me.”
Danny ran.

I also remember that my organization had some kind of marketing campaign about traveling to the moon.

How am I to know the good side from the bad?
You will know...
when you are calm, at peace...
passive.
AJedi uses the Force for knowledge and defence...
never for attack.
- But tell me why I can't... - No. There is no why.
Nothing more will I teach you today.
Clear your mind of questions.
There's something not right here.
I feel cold.
- Death. - That place...
is strong with the dark side of the Force.
A domain of evil it is.
In you must go.
What's in there?
Only what you take with you.
Your weapons...
you will not need them.
