Since I was grabbing some pictures off the old camera to send to the family for Christmas, I figured what the hell may as well share with the world just how incredibly goofy looking I am in case there was any doubt. Oh yeah, and my moms parking abilities.

I'm a retard: [shot1] [shot2] My mom's incredible parking [shot1] and she forced me to take this picture later that day [shot2] I got 3 pairs of underwear this Christmas! [shot1] I'm a fanboy even on Christmas [shot1]

  • Well, I've just finished watching 'It's A Wonderful Life' for the 2nd time this Christmas season. I noticed something:

    When George gets a chance to see what things would be like if he had never been born, the timeline he visits is 20-25 years into the future of the current timeline, of before he made the wish to have never been born. Furthermore, the residents of the so-called 'Mirror, Mirror' or evil Bedford Falls seemed to be real people with real lives. What happened to them after George was returned to his own life?


    Since Clarance is an angel, the premise is that God altered reality by doing one of the following:

    1. Warping the current timeline by shifting George 20-25 years back in time. This seems unlikely because the 'Mirror-Mirror' town kept using a 20 year reference to when Uncle Billy went insane, yet conflicts with the 20 year reference by the cab driver regarding the old empty house George demanded to be driven to. Before George and mary moved into the old house in the current timeline, it had been empty and abandoned since when they were kids. Wouldn't the house still have remained empty from the previous tenants from the current timeline, from George's timeline? I would think that George Bailey is at least in his late 20's or early 30's.

    2. The 'Mirror-Mirror' town, with it's dirty and evil townsfolk was created from the exact moment that George said he wished he had never been born, like a snapshot of the current timeline, only with George removed up until this point. This seems like the most plausable of the two, but even this has problems:

    - When George is plucked from the current timeline, it is assumed that the current timeline is paused and the alternate timeline begins or diverges. Yet in the current timeline, the good town, there is a gap that starts in the bridge house where Clarance saves George, and ends back on the bridge when George is says 'let me live'. In the current timeline, a search party was assembled, funds raised, and miracles happened, all in the space of 1-2 hours, the same amount of time George was in the 'Mirror-Mirror' town. After the time-gap point where George says 'let me live', what happened to the 'Mirror-Mirror' town? Did that timeline end or continue?

    Hold on a sec, I think I've just gone completely insane. Hi, Uncle Billy!

    Thanks!
