Fantasies

My mind goes a lot. That is not to say that it is necessarily doing anything of any significance or anything profound...sometimes it's just more like a freakin' energizer bunny you can't make stop, even with a hammer. It sucks being kept awake for hours on end by your own brain despite feeling like you haven't slept in a week and feeling dead tired, and being still and quiet, and even doing some self-hypnosis...sometimes it just flat won't stop short of doing something dangerous.

I sometimes have a lot of fantasies. When I was younger a great deal of those involved girls and sex...now, not so much. One that crops up fairly often is how cool it would be if you were able to really time travel...go back to the old west, but have all the knowledge and a little technology from the present. That showed up again a couple days ago. It was triggered by seeing this guy...Bob Munden.

If he could transport back to Dodge City in 1830, he could be the real deal as a badass gunslinger whose name made most people sweat with fear. He is so incredibly fast with that gun it borders on the superhuman. He can draw, cock and fire literally faster than your eye can blink. More importantly, he actually hits what he intends to hit. It's not a trick gun either...it can't be fired by just pulling the trigger, you have to cock it first, for each shot. But he is so fast that if it were a real gunfight he could draw and kill three or four other good gunfighters before they cleared leather. In his case, it ain't trickery or high tech...just plain fast.

But then, what might the good folk of a sleepy old west town think if they encountered some serious super high tech? Apparently, other folks wondered too...they just managed to get a lot of money out of it. A movie I have been looking forward to for a while is finally coming to theaters in the summer. It's called Cowboys & Aliens. Ima save up to see that sucker. Hey, you got Stephen Spielberg and Ron Howard producing, you got Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and the smokin' hot Olivia Wilde starring, you gotz cowboys, you gotz aliens...what's not to like? Check out the trailer.

Heh...
