Scars
Lately I have also started to understand that scars on my body are not what I remember.
There is the scar on my hand that I used to think was from scraping it on concrete one night when I was drunk and could not drive so I had to go through a bad neighborhood while walking to my apartment 7 miles away from the bar I had been at. I have started thinking that the reality is that I was tortured as a POW and the scar is from someone using a power drill on my hand.
The scar on my right wrist isn't the burn I recieved from someone dropping hot apple pie on it when I was a kid in a day care center, rather...I'm not really sure what it is. I have been thinking it is a shrapnel wound from anti-aircraft artillery. When I think of this I think of two scenes from two movies. One is that scene in "Memphis Belle" where the tomato soup container explodes and they wonder who was hit. The other is the scene in "Air America" where they talk about the "golden BB." I have been thinking lately that Mel Gibson is my older brother. And actually a third movie is from "Mission To Mars" where that one guy has a meteroid go through his hand and I wondered if it is common in space for meteroids to look like ball bearings.
The big scar on my lower left leg is not the bug bite I remember. Rather it is a bullet wound that would seem to have remarkably missed by a fraction of an inch from shattering the bone. Just above that is a diagonal scar that looks like a knife scar. As soon as I thought of that, I remember a memory of someone injured where my mother worked and that the skin had been sliced down the bone of her shin and I remember thinking of how that must have hurt. I think that was actually a deflection mechanism to get me to forget that it was actually my shin that happened to and it was actually from me or someone else using a knife to cut out the bullet.
There are several other scars that I think are bullet wounds and other injuries. I started thinking that a missile exploded near my aircraft one time, shattering the canopy and my helmet and I' not sure why I didn't crash as I must have had at least a concussion. I think another time I was shot in the back with a shotgun but I was wearing a bullet proof vest. I have been wondering too if I was hit in the chest one time when wearing a vest.
I don't know if it will be harder to relive those experiences again than it was to first experience them.

Apache Attack
By Richard Mackenzie
The helicopters would open the war. They had to take out Iraq's early warning net, and they had to get it all.
from my private journal as Kerry Burgess: 2006
Oh, and there's a scar on my left hand that I have been wondering about but I don't feel like writing about. I remember it was after having to walk home through a bad neighborhood. I remember it was a nasty wound, bled a lot, something about nasty bandages. At first I thought it might be a bullet scar, but then I thought maybe someone had jammed a philips screwdriver between my knuckles. But there is no exit scar so I'm not sure what it means. Perhaps what ever did it didn't go down through my hand, rather went into my hand, towards my wrist and didn't exit. The oblong nature of the scar would support that possibility. It doesn't hurt though.
I was thinking about this time my clothes were filthy with salt. I remember that as a time on the Taylor but I am now wondering if it was dust, as in some kind of desert.
There is also a scar on the side of my right wrist that I remember from when I was in a day care center and was burned when some hot apple pie fell onto my hand.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulcrum_(drumming)
Fulcrum (drumming)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fulcrum is a drumming term. Traditionally, the fulcrum is said to denote the part of a percussionist's grip that is the main lever for the drumstick/mallet to rotate. This is usually created by the thumb + index finger, the thumb + middle finger, or a combination of the index, middle, and thumb.
This definition of the fulcrum is only correct if the sticks/mallets pivot only about that exact point - usually they do not. To more accurately describe the mechanics of drumming one must define multiple fulcrums within a 'system of levers'.
Fulcrum and lever definitions
Fingers
If one consciously locks their wrist, elbow, and shoulder so that they remain stationary, the only degree of freedom left to move the stick is the finger lever. The fulcrum, or point of rotation, will be located approximately where the pad of the thumb meets the stick. The thumb acts as the fulcrum while the other 4 fingers can apply mechanical forces to the stick.
Wrist
If one then locks the fingers in place by placing a tight grip on the stick the only way to raise and lower the stick is by rotating the wrist. The point of rotation is now somewhere in the middle of the wrist.

Louise Bourgeois
FRENCH-BORN AMERICAN SCULPTOR
Louise Bourgeois, (born December 25, 1911, Paris, France—died May 31, 2010, New York, New York, U.S.), French-born sculptor known for her monumental abstract and often biomorphic works that deal with the relationships of men and women.
Born to a family of tapestry weavers, Bourgeois made her first drawings to assist her parents in their restoration of ancient tapestries. She attended the Sorbonne, where she studied mathematics. At age 25 she changed her focus to art, studying at the École des Beaux-Arts, the Académie de la Grande Chaumière, and the studio of Fernand Léger, and in 1938 she married and returned with her American husband, the art historian Robert Goldwater, to New York City. There she began exhibiting her distinctly Surrealist paintings and engravings. In the late 1940s she began to experiment with sculptural forms, producing a series of long, lean wooden shapes that she exhibited singly and in groups.
Those were the first of her characteristically abstract but emotionally powerful autobiographical works. In the following decades she built many often unsettling environments of latex and found objects and structures of marble, plaster, and glass. Most concern betrayal, anxiety, revenge, obsession, aggression, imbalance, and loneliness. She often reexamined themes, styles, and forms that had earlier interested her. That unwillingness to limit her creative output to a particular style or medium made her more difficult to categorize and kept her at the unpublicized fringe of the art world. In 1982 she was granted a retrospective show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, an honour seldom granted to a living artist, and in 1993 she represented the United States at the Venice Biennale. In 1999 she received the Japan Art Association’s Praemium Imperiale prize for sculpture.
The sculptor retained her vitality and creativity well into her 90s. At the turn of the 21st century, she created a monumental steel-and-marble spider (Maman, 1999) from which six monumental bronze versions were cast in 2003; the bronzes traveled to several sites throughout the world. A documentary, Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, The Mistress, and the Tangerine, was released in 2008. In 2016 her house and studio and an adjacent town house that she owned in the Chelsea neighbourhood of New York City were opened to the public as a museum of her life and work.

Blade Runner (1982)
(from internet transcript)
Rick Deckard: Embarrassing.
Harry Bryant, captain of the Rep-Detect department of the Los Angeles Police Department: No, sir, not embarrassing. No one's ever gonna find out they're down here. Because you're gonna spot them and air them out.
Rick Deckard: I don't work here anymore. Give it to Holden. He's good.
Harry Bryant: I did. He can breathe okay as long as nobody unplugs him. He's not good enough. Not good as you. I need you, Deck. Now, this is a bad one, the worst yet. I need the old Blade Runner. I need your magic.
Rick Deckard: I was quit when I come in here, Bryant. I'm twice as quit now.
Harry Bryant: Stop right where you are! You know the score, pal. You're not cop, you're little people!
