The middle distance. You are too far in to quit and too far from the end to see it.

Day 15

November 14, 2023. Day 15! We are fifteen days away from hitting 30 days!!! To bring everyone up to speed, I am toying with ideas for bringing this project to the public. I will still post on threads for a bit longer and return to just making notes. My last post about this on threads will be on day 30. I've even spoken with someone about making this a book; honestly, that is what I want to do. It allows me to keep my writing without editing my thoughts and randomness. I enjoy the mix of telling stories of my life, passing along some wisdom I hope, and the randomness of what I keep finding. So, two days of the week will be dedicated to telling life stories, while the rest will focus solely on the movie. I'll admit I lost focus because I was focused on what I would like from this instead of concentrating on the project. I like that… Project 365: Freddy vs. Jason. It's too bad I can't use that. I am not feeling this today. We have a special guest joining us today. Hackens...

Day 23

November 22nd 2023  Day Twenty Three has arrived. Does Will Know About Freddy? I feel comfortable saying he did not know about Freddy until Jason came to Elm Street. He was only quarantined because he witnessed Lori’s mom being murdered. It was never established either that he had any prior knowledge. There is a line of dialogue in which he ruined our pasts. Lori says that near the end of the movie. What is being held back concerning their past? Given her father is the hypno drug pusher, Lori would never know of Freddy. Is their past Lori’s mom dying? Were they the last victims of Freddy, and that’s why he went after her mom. Was Will accusing Lori’s dad of murdering the event that ruined their past? The movie never fleshes out that plot point. It is never implied that the main cast, except for Mark and those covering up the crimes, had knowledge of Freddy. I still do believe that everything was blamed on Freddy in the town! Westin Hills Time! You would think that since Will is clo...

Day 24

November 23rd, 2023. Day 24 is not the what-if day; it reflects life. Thanksgiving with Freddy vs Jason. Happy 136th Birthday to Frankenstein's Monster and The Mummy, Boris Karloff. It also happens to be my niece Ivy's birthday. Today is about reflection while I watch FVJ. I do wish I had a better relationship with my nieces. I partly blame myself because I expect them to behave when they come to the house and do not. So I lose my cool quickly because I hate hearing the running indoors from the basement. It also doesn't help that they have a predetermined opinion of you courtesy of their mother. But that is another conversation that will not be a thing in this blog. I'm reflecting on when I lost my cool and got upset. They like to run around the house, and I have framed autographs over the years. With them running around, they fall off the basement walls, and frames break. Granted, they are cheap frames, but to me, their blatant negligence of other people's propert...
