8 The Short (Short) Story ContestEvery year, we like to challenge Chattanooga writers to come up with their best story in 500 words or less. This year, we had a record number of entries, and a daunting task at hand for our

judges to determine the best of the best.

10 Comfort in Not Being AloneAs a mother sings a rock anthem of a hauntingly real battle in her mind, audience members hear an echo of conversations they’ve

held. As she deals with demons that refuse to leave her, and struggles with the effect of those demons on both herself and her

family, they experience an empathy rich and complex.

14 Impossible to Musically Pin DownOne would be hard-pressed to find a recording and performing artist in the Chattanooga creative underground with as many

musical personas and solo projects as Joseph J. Micolo III (soundcloud.com/jjemmeiii), driven by a willingness to explore

and frequently cross the boundaries of genres.

Op-Ed: Art in the Face of FearProcessing tragedy by creating

The arts are famous for their power to heal. But they also have the power to defy, to spit in terror’s eye.”

“An elaborate arts event was planned for

the night of Thursday, July 16.Then, shockingly, word came of the

shootings at the Armed Forces Career Center and the Naval Reserve Center. In-formation trickled in, about the events, the shooter, the victims.

What to do? Should the event be can-celed? Would it be disrespectful to con-tinue it?

After much reflection, this event went on. Muted, without a doubt, by the news on people’s minds. But here is why it was the right decision.

The arts are famous for their power to heal. But they also have the power to defy, to spit in terror’s eye. They can say, “We are free. And you will not take that away

from us.”Some time ago, the New York Daily News

reported, “After the World Trade Center tragedy, Broadway reeled. Then it rallied.

“Two days after the towers fell, then-May-or Rudy Giuliani gave a press conference about rescue efforts at Ground Zero.

“Out of the blue, he declared: ‘The best thing you can do for our city is take in a Broad-way show.’

“Ears pricked up. In a short

but clear statement, the notion that ‘The show must go on’ went beyond showbiz to represent the Big Apple.”

Shira Schoenberg, writing on the website masslive.com about the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing, quoted Dr. Ter-ence Keane, director of the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder’s behav-ioral science unit: “On a communal level, art can capture a community’s reaction to trauma in a way that helps people process it.

“For individuals, art can help people hon-estly express and deal with their emotional responses, while helping them bind with their communities and look to the future in ways that can be quite healing.”

An event such as a seemingly normal young man deciding to murder people out of some deranged idea that it’s his deity’s will confounds people. The common impulse is to want to do something. Some came together in a community prayer service. Some rode

motorcycles and flew flags.And some, artists, sang and

painted and entertained. Not in any way to make light of the loss of brave men and the trag-edy imposed on their families, the city and the nation; indeed, just the opposite.

This is our way of honoring the sacrifices they made so that we continue to have the power to create, and by our creations, show that those who seek to intimidate all of us will not win. We will not cower in our homes. We will not stop mak-ing beauty and laughter. We are an essential part of the human spirit, we are life, not death, and you will not win.”

Note: The Community Foundation of Greater Chatta-nooga, Inc. has established the 7-16 Freedom Fund to cover college scholarships and edu-cational expenses for spouses and children of the affected families.

Contributions to the 7-16 Freedom Fund can be made to 1270 Market St., Chattanooga, TN 37402. Please write “7-16 Freedom Fund” on the memo line of the check. An online do-nation page will be available by Friday, July 24.

Like any growing city, Chattanooga still has a few bumps and bruises that require attention. For-tunately, The Noog can lean on the good work provided by United Way, an organization that has been helping build a stronger and healthier community for nearly a century.

United Way will once again rally the community to donate to the sixth annual STUFF THE BUS school drive.

All money and supplies raised by lo-cal businesses will go directly

to Hamilton County pub-lic schools and students.

This year’s lofty goal is to collect $100,000 worth of supplies.

To help make this dream become a re-ality, Chattanooga

Brewing Company is taking action. On Fri-

day, July 24, the local brewery is inviting everyone

to stop by and drop off either school

supplies or cash donations between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. They will also donate $1 for every appetizer sold, which adds a tastier incentive to help the worthy cause. It’s a real win-win for you, the city, and the school kids you’ll be helping.

Hummus is one of the world’s oldest known pre-pared foods—yet it is a mys-tery to an astounding number of Americans. Those who have encountered this smooth and savory culinary multi-tasker, probably did so while slipping past the “healthy” section of the office party snack table, or while trying to find some-thing to drag a sad piece of carrot or broccoli through other than the runny ranch dressing lurking amidst the crudité. That is a tragedy that doesn’t have to continue. Hummus is so much more than the cold “dip” you ab-sentmindedly pick at with tri-angles of pita bread while you wait for the real food to arrive.

Good hummus is creamy, slightly nutty and almost meaty in flavor, which makes sense since its main ingredi-ents, chickpeas and tahini, have more protein than Richie Incognito’s bro shake. Hum-mus simply means “chickpea” in Arabic. What we Western-ers call “hummus” is actually hummus bi tahini, referring to pureed chickpeas mixed with tahini (tahini is sesame-seed paste; think peanut butter with no sugar).

Historically, hummus bi tahini is part of Levantine cuisine that first appeared in a 13th-century medieval cook-book called Kitab Wasf al-Ati-ma al-Mutada ( ‘The Descrip-

tion of Familiar Food’). However, this early dish had no lemon or garlic as we find in modern versions that began to appear in 18th-century cook-books in Damascus. Now, in modern-day Israeli and Arab restaurants throughout that

region, hum-mus is eaten as a single dish within a larger meal, as a stand-alone main course accompanied

by a fresh vegetable salad and bread or as a spread for sand-wiches and wraps. But don’t expect to find Western mutant spawn flavor combinations like beets and chocolate or avocado lavender on Arab or Israeli tables. They like their hummus traditional, just like god intended.

Hummus is also tradition-ally eaten warm, not cold. Al-though mass production prac-tices have made refrigerated packages of processed hum-mus more and more popular, the processed, chilled ver-sions are an inferior substitute for fresh, homemade hum-mus. Processed, cold hum-mus tastes like a big scoop of Sartre’s nothingness. Refrig-eration mutes the deep flavors of the chickpea. At least let it come to room temperature be-fore you dig in, but if you want those flavors to really develop, heat it up. Warm hummus is reassuring and comforting, like a sleeping bag full of kit-tens or Mrs. Garrett’s bosomy

embrace.The secret to getting the

best hummus is to make it yourself. It’s surprisingly easy—just focus on getting really good ingredients and treating them with the respect they deserve. Swing by a good ethnic market like Interna-tional Food Market in East-gate Town Center and pick up some small, dry chickpeas, an imported, high-quality ta-hini (like Alwadi brand), some fresh lemons, a decent olive oil and whip up a batch today.

Here’s a basic recipe to get you started.

Ingredients[makes 4 servings]

• 1 cup dried chickpeas (the smallest you can find)

• 1/2 cup tahini• juice from 1 squeezed

lemon• 1-2 garlic cloves• 1/2 teaspoon cumin• 1 tablespoon + 1/8-1/4

teaspoon baking soda• salt• olive oil• parsley

1. Sort and wash the chick-peas repeatedly, until the wa-ter runs clear. Soak them in clean water overnight with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. The next morning, rinse and soak again in tap water for a few more hours. The chick-peas should absorb most of the water and almost double in volume.

2. Wash the chickpeas one last time and put them in a large pot. Cover them with water and add the rest of the baking soda (no salt yet). Cook over medium heat un-til you can easily smash the chickpeas between two fin-gers. This should take around 1-to-1.5 hours. About halfway through the cooking process, drain the water and refill, re-moving the peels and foam that float to the surface during cooking.

3. When the chickpeas are cooked, drain them, but keep the cooking water.

4. Put the chickpeas into a mortar and pestle and grind until smooth. If you are lazy or don’t have a mortar and pestle, you can cheat and use a food processor, just don’t let jeddah (Arab for grandmother) see you.

5. Add everything except the parsley and olive oil and continue to mix until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add some of the reserved cooking water until you get the texture you want.

Serve warm with a drizzle of high-quality olive oil and chopped parsley.

The Annual Pulse Short (Short) Story Contest

An Old Man learns to Stand up For Himselfby Clifton Patty

We met at a bar on a weekday and she laughed at me be-cause I couldn’t get the bartender’s attention and my hair was Brylcreem’d and she was wearing heels so I felt like a little boy but that was okay because I’d been searching for someone to carry my juvenescence.

A few weeks later on our first date she told me that she watched too much Discovery channel as a kid so she refused to burp audibly and didn’t like eating in public so she made me cook a lot and we would fall asleep together but I’d always wake up alone.

We moved onto her father’s farmland in Georgia which was tucked between two sloped bluffs that pissed creeks down through the forest up north and one night we got drunk together and she pushed me down the stairs and it cut my forehead up pretty badly so I went to a creek in the woods and watched my blood pluck at the water and bloom into funny faces.

On our last date she gave me the flu but I didn’t take any medicine because I wasn’t ready to be alone again. I sat on the porch after that because it’s what people old people did in the movies and I liked listening to the bugs fighting and barking and flirting in the sugarcane. I decided I should leave the house so I walked to some little diner and ordered a burger.

They brought me chicken fingers but I ate them anyway.

The Girl With the Silken Sepalsby Robin Ford Wallace

The Flowerbed was not my regular habitat but that’s not to say there was anything wrong with it. It seemed a nice enough joint, well-drained, just a quiet little place where your working-slob photosynthesizer could kick back with a cup of something cool after 12 hours in the hot sun. You know. Vegetate.

There was a rose tending bar, heavily perfumed, maybe a little past full bloom but not going to seed just yet, thank you very much. Zinnias perched on toadstools looking fresh as daisies, big heads bent toward their drinks like that was all in the world they cared about. But guys would flash a stamen at them across the room and though they pretended not to see it was safe to bet there’d be some cross-pollina-tion later on.

Not for me. I was here on business. I sat there in my brown-stripe trifoliate, spadix tucked discreetly into spathe, trying not to do anything that screamed UNDER-COVER.

Then I looked up and saw: Her. She wilted, sobbing, over an iced mimosa. She was lovely,

slender and long-stemmed, a rich purple-blue flecked delicately with gold. I moved from the bar to her table as naturally as a heliotrope turning toward the sun.

“Cheer up,” I said. “What are you, a weeping willow?”“Don’t be ranunculus.” She gave me a drop-dead look.

“Anyone can see I’m an iris.” “I know. You’re practically waving a blue flag.” That made her laugh, a low sweet sound from deep in her

pedicels. “All right, Jack, I like your styles.” She gave me a smile that made my stamens turgid. “Mind if I call you that? You can tuck your spadix tucked into your spathe all day long, I can spot a jack-in-the-pulpit from 100 yards. It’s that holy look. What are you, an undercover cop?”


The Annual Pulse Short (Short) Story Contest

Confessions of A White-Collar Scabby Mary Petruska

I was a white-collar scab for Lehman Brothers in the late nineties. I’m not proud of it but I needed to pay off an $18,000 debt from a failed fashion business. A friend slid me in, when she just couldn’t take it anymore.

I knew my soul was on the line but so was my life and home… and I went for it. They hired me through a temp agency so they could fire me at any time, keep my

hours below 30 to avoid paying any benefits and cut their cost per hour in half. It was the most money I had ever made in my life and all I had to do was make invitations for clos-ing dinners and weekend junkets to rape second and third world countries.

Derivatives were BIG back then. I didn’t fully understand what they were but I knew they were messing with whole countries. I told myself It was only 30 hours a week, and that I owed friends and family a lot of money.

I got into it. When they wanted to rape a South American country, I chose aggressive type. The

woman who was my boss always wanted “flowery type” for invitations—but I KNEW the boys making the DEAL were more aggressive and they would like the type I chose. I’d do both—to please my boss—but the boys were the bottom line and I knew who they were. A good graphic designer understands her client.

From the get-go I thought of myself as a white-collar scab. It was way before people were talking about how corporations were bypassing laws to protect the worker. I was liv-ing it...and happy to be making a steady income to pay back my debt for a failed dream.

I worked 2.5 years and made my last debt payment the very week they “downsized” me to hire the kid I had trained. I was up to $45/hour. She had just graduated college and they could get her for $18/hour full time with benefits.

She and I are friends to this day. We went through 9/11 together. It was my day off. She came out of the subway to see people jumping out of windows. She called me hours later from her mother’s office in Midtown to ask me if I thought we were supposed to show up for work tomorrow.

We both worked from home after that and delivered work to hotel rooms and had no “trauma counseling” because… we were both white-collar scabs. The isolation was in-tense and we became each other’s support.

So… now, just about everyone is a white-collar scab. It’s no big thing anymore—just the way it is. Corporations owe nothing to their employees. You’re lucky to have a job. Period.

And…I don’t at the moment—have a job. I’m available. I can read your soul and I can package it. Call me.

I managed not to flinch. “OK. Call me Jack. What do I call you?”

“I’m Angie O’Sperm.” “An Irish iris?”“No,” she said bitterly. “I’m just

an all-American garden variety. Wanted to be a flower showgirl but I was a late bloomer and missed my chance. Instead I ended up in this lousy joint hustling hostas for the Nightshade Family.”

“The Nightshades own this place?” My anthers perked up, lobes cocked.

“Oh, yes. Their roots run deep here.”

I leaned forward. “Listen, Angie, I can help you get away from those stinkweeds.”

“Would you, Jack? Yes, I believe you would.” She smiled. “God, look at me. I’d better go fix my face.”

She disappeared into the back and I sat there grinning foolishly until a familiar voice said behind me: “Considering the lilies, Jack?”

It was my partner, “Sweet” Wil-liam Bloom. “Not just any lily. Bill. Wait till you see her. There she comes now!”

Bang! Bill shot. Angie dropped like a whacked weed.

“No!” I shouted.“It was you or her.” He rolled her

over so I could see: She had a pistil. “The Nightshades were on to

you,” he said. “Sorry, Jack...”“She was a plant.”

Finding Comfort in Not Being AloneRock musical “Next to Normal” confronts bipolar disorder

They’re not here for sunshine and rainbows. They’re here for honesty and connection. They’re here because they see themselves, their loved ones, their neighbors onstage. They’re here to un-derstand.

An estimated one in five American adults suffers from some diagnosable mental condition in any given year. Yet, for the astounding majority of people, there seems to be no shared experience, no common voice that tells their story; that sings their song.

Mental illness continues to be stigma-tized in a way that leaves sufferers and their loved ones feeling alone and sepa-rate and often without hope.

In Closed Door Entertainment Inc.’s upcoming production “Next to Nor-mal,” a rock musical with book and lyr-ics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, the audience is given a look inside the mind of a woman battling intensify-ing bipolar disorder and how it not only affects her, but her family and the very foundation on which they build their lives.

The show opened on Broadway in April 2009 and was nominated for 11 2009 Tony Awards, winning three. It also won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, becoming just the eighth musi-cal in history to receive the honor.

“ HAVE SAID THESE WORDS BEFORE.” As a mother sings a rock anthem of a hauntingly real bat-

tle in her mind, audience members hear an echo of conversations they’ve held. As she deals with demons that refuse to leave her, and struggles with the effect of those demons on both herself and her family, they experience an empathy rich and complex.


“It’s adult. It’s hard-hitting, it’s a drama,” says JC Smith, Closed Door’s executive director.“It’s a powerful, powerful show and people need to be prepared for that. If they’re coming in expecting Mary Poppins, they’re go-ing to be sorely mistaken.”

The show, however, is not all grim reality and devastation; there are threads of humor, love and, ultimate-ly, hope. “It is a drama,” Smith reiter-ates, “but there are comedic moments. There are beautiful moments. There are powerful moments, and there is not a rehearsal that goes by where one of our cast members doesn’t sit and sob in the corner for a few minutes.”

In other words, it’s a show about real life and all that comes with it.

The hope is that all audience mem-bers will recognize the issues being dealt with and perhaps even find healing in the shared experience. “For people who do suffer, there’s such unity in hearing these lines… to realize that you’re not alone, that

other people feel the same way, other people fight the same demons every single day,” Smith says. “It’s embold-ening to know that you’re not alone anymore.”

Closed Door Entertainment, in as-sociation with the Chattanooga AIM Center, which provides consumer-driven psychiatric rehabilitation services, wants this show to start a conversation about and bring greater awareness to mental illness.

“I think that when we bring about awareness we are all better off,” he explains, “and I think one way to do that is in a fantastically powerful rock musical.”

For Anyone Who Likes EverythingDelta Saints bring inclusive sound to The Camp House

We all have those bands we love, but can’t figure out how to catego-rize. Their sounds pulls in elements from so many different genres that sticking them in just one feels like selling the band short.

if you’re looking to add more of the “uncategorizables” to your play-list, The Delta saints is a good place to start.

Whether The Delta saints are roots, rock or R&B depends on who you ask. That’s because the nash-ville-based band blends the three fluidly, then mixes in some gospel and country for good measure.

The band complements their in-clusive sound with seemingly off-the-cuff lyrics, the result of writing their songs spontaneously in the

studio. True to their noncommittal approach, no two Delta saints songs sound the same, with a typical setlist running the gamut from garage rock to haunting folk. if you don’t know what you want, you’ll definitely want to give these guys a chance.

The Delta saints will be playing at The Camp house on Friday, july 24 at 9 p.m. The show is just two weeks before the release of their newest album, “Bones,” on august 9.

Things like electro, post-punk, synth-pop all have an energy which is forged into my work, even if an identifying sound is not present.”

“

Impossible to Musically Pin DownJoseph J. Miccolo III's music can’t—and won’t—be pigeonholed

ONE WOULD BE HARD-PRESSED TO FIND A RECORD-ing and performing artist in the Chattanooga creative under-

ground with as many musical personas and solo projects as Joseph J. Micolo III (soundcloud.com/jjemmeiii), driven by a willingness to explore and frequently cross the boundaries of genres.

When existing genre labels are inad-equate, Micolo will simply invent new ones. For example, his “soilcore” outlet, SEGAWORMS (formerly known as Se-gamented Worms), offers harsh synthet-ics, sample cut-up madness and noise, all “influenced by the insect universe” and “viruses, fungi, excretions, toxic waste or general decay,” and the moniker ROY G BIV is used for his music “made from colors.”

A New York transplant who relocated to the area five years ago, Micolo has a di-verse musical background cultivated over 20 years, having studied jazz and funk under a professional teacher and earned a degree in audio technology. As a teen-ager, Micolo played bass in the metalcore band Skycamefalling and an early incar-nation of Year Of Confession, which re-united in 2014 in Amityville, NY, and of which Micolo remains an active member.

On the other end of the spectrum, Mi-colo dives into ambient organ-centered improvisations (released as JJEMMEIII) and shimmery electronic music (as Guy LuPadre). On the heels of the release of GTRUK’s new album The Grey Veil (gtruk.bandcamp.com)—Micolo’s channel for downtempo instrumental hip-hop—he answered some questions for The Pulse via email.

The Pulse: Are there certain quali-ties that tie some (all?) of your projects together?

Joseph Micolo: I never really thought about that since all of my mate-


rial is so compartmentalized into names. I suppose that they are all interpretations of things which inspire me, spoken in my own musical language. There is a qual-ity of darkness to almost everything, both subtle and blatant.

TP: Do you have a favor-ite solo performance?

JM: I had such a great time playing Leaky Sock-ets 2015. It was the first GTRUK performance ever in the long history of that project. I was proud of the atmosphere I created. Though my favorite gig was one of the SEGAWORMS shows I had played this past February. It was a speedcore gabber set. For so many years I had wanted to play that kind of material live. Hearing those ballsy distorted 909 kicks pumping out of two bass cabinets behind me really unleashed that high school acid angst. I lost myself a bit and broke two of my painter’s lamps over my head, causing the bulbs to explode. Hazard-ous, but probably the most fun solo set I’ve done so far.

TP: How did the new GTRUK al-bum come together?

JM: GTRUK started off as Grump-Truck, which I consider my perspec-tive and dialect of the hip-hop and rap styles. I am fascinated by sam-pling and how existing sounds can be repurposed. It’s kind of like sonic Legos. The Grey Veil album sort of put itself together like a message from be-

yond. I found a tape I recorded a few months prior of beat sketches. This tape played at half speed because it was originally recorded on a Tascam 4-track. The sound of everything slowed really hit me; it all sounded very ghostly and dark. I thought about death a lot; not literal death per se, but how you can essentially cease to be in someone’s life. But you are still there, and your essence can speak to the world through various channels.

TP: What is an influence that might not be apparent?

JM: Good question. I’ve listened to so many different genres of music. They all influence me in different ways. Most of the music that I was first exposed to was produced during the ’80s. Those sounds and produc-tion techniques are ingrained in my

mind subliminally. Things like elec-tro, post-punk, synth-pop all have an energy which is forged into my work, even if an identifying sound is not present. Although in a sense of perfor-mance method, free jazz essentially prompted me to start improvising with noise and sound manipulation.

TP: What can we expect next from you?

JM: I’ve been meditating on the premise of pushing myself to do things in sound that have been un-explored as of yet, to try things that are new to me, outside of my comfort zone. This year has been one of pro-found personal experience and rev-elation. All of this will be channeled into a creative work which is currently undetermined. At this time it is just a piece of sand in the mouth of an oys-ter, yet to become a pearl.

Record ReviewszACH NICHOLSON

Kazoo on a Sunny Morning, Reverb in the Sweaty NightLon Eldridge’s old-fashioned enchantment, Mother Nurture’s catchy rock

Surprisingly (or perhaps not surprisingly at all),

Lon Eldridge’s June release Long Gone is everything I expected from the won-derfully dressed and mus-tachioed man. The whole album is ten tracks of good old-fashioned blues straight out of Tennessee. The ma-jority of Long Gone show-cases Eldridge’s voice and guitar picking, with some light shoe-tapping to tempo in the background.

It’s weirdly comfortable, as if you’re sitting next to Eldridge on a sunny after-noon, perhaps with a cuppa joe or tea if that’s your thing, listening to him play a cou-ple of tunes he’s been dying to show you. The whole al-bum is an intimate occasion, while thriving on its play-fulness. And how could you, the listener, not smile as El-dridge whips out the kazoo

like it’s just another Sunday afternoon in Chattanooga?

Long Gone really strips down music to its bare bones. It’s a man and his guitar, and he’s brought his attitude along with him for the ride. The duet between a man and guitar is really something to admire, to be downright mesmerized by, and Eldridge’s unique lighthearted approach is a nice breather from all the would-be breakup poets who picked up an acoustic guitar at some point along the way and figured their poems sounded better with accompaniment.

One track on the album—“Cozinhando Com Gas”—is a standout track for its guest musicians. Dalton Chap-man and Skip Frontz Jr. of The 9th Street Stompers join Eldridge in the grooviest track on the album. Skip’s

bass fills out the bottom end you didn’t realize you missed, and Dalton’s guitar work is enchanting to say the least.

Lon Eldridge will un-doubtedly be playing about town sometime soon, and I can only hope to see him playing around a local cof-fee house, because his mu-sic goes best with a bit of sunlight and coffee.

Cleveland, TN is con-stantly contributing

great bands to the local Chattanooga scene. A lot of the time, it’s easy to breeze over a newer band from the outskirts, but when you find that one up-and-com-ing group, it’s pretty damn exciting. There are a few bands that come to mind when I think of the Cleve-land area, but I’m here to talk about one in particu-lar—Mother Nurture.

I saw them play at JJ’s Bohemia a long while back. Solid show, tight perfor-mance, high energy. Now I’ve found out they released a 5-track album back in January. The Great Commis-sion is a great, high-quality freshman release for Moth-er Nurture. They sure have come a long way since I saw them play at JJ’s.

The album is full-bodied with reverbed and delayed guitars and a constant back-beat from the drummer and bassist. The songs are focused on lyrics and struc-ture so that I could easily imagine these songs enjoy-ing a lot of radio play. At the same time, Mother Nurture is a rock band, and I’ll defi-nitely kick up a sweat in the crowd during their live set. The Great Commission is a fantastic interplay between laid back and moody, up front and aggressive. And what you end up with are five well-written songs with great production on them.

Listening to The Great Commission, I immediately think of 2004 Breaking Benjamin—the crunch, the catchiness—layered with progressive influences from bands like Tool and The Dear Hunter. The combina-tion of structured catchiness and progressive undertone really keeps the whole al-bum feeling fresh as morn-ing.

Pick up The Great Commis-sion for free on Mother Nur-ture’s Bandcamp. The band will be playing JJ’s Bohemia on Tuesday, July 28. I highly recommend checking the album out in preparation for singing along at the show.

Diversions

Consider Thiswith Dr. Rick

“Confusion is the welcome mat at the door of creativity.” — michael gelb

When people come to me for my help and are in a state of confusion, when they’ve reached a personal intersection and don’t know which way to turn, I sometimes suggest to them that perhaps they are not yet at the place of decision-making. Perhaps they are at the all-important place right before the decision. The place of confusion, frustration, impatience, de-spair...any number of difficult feelings.

It’s the storm before the breaking light of dawn, the time of troubled thoughts and mixed emotions just before the breakthrough of clarity. It’s actually a very important place to be, because you know that the next step will be one of courage and forward momentum. can you trust that about yourself?

consider this: sit with your confusion. sleep on it. go for a walk. medi-tate/pray/ponder the infinite possibilities that lie before you. Imagine be-ing told that whatever you choose will be the correct path for you, and you can’t fail even if you try.

sometimes, the best thing you can do to get your mind off the news of the day is pack a picnic lunch, grab the family, and head to the park for a movie under the stars.

even better is when the movie is as delightful and entertaining as Disney’s “Big hero 6.”

Based (loosely) on the Marvel comic series of the same name, this animated treat follows the exploits of young hiro hamada, a technical prodigy who is still learning how to cope with the loss of his revered older brother.

With the help of the inflatable

Baymax, and a group of new friends from the local university, hiro learns to live up to his name and save the day.

Marvel Adds a New Superhero to the Picnic “Ant-Man” swarms summer screens with a certain wry charm and wit

Superheroes are my weakness. While I can still separate good storytelling from bad storytelling, point out missed oppor-tunities, and challenge the logic behind choices made by the filmmakers, I will in-variable enjoy some part, however small, of any superhero movie I see. We all have our blind spots—it seems that films made by Marvel Studios are mine.

The latest in Marvel’s box office domi-nation blitz is the not-quite-so-well-known hero Ant-Man. At first glance, Ant-Man sounds less like a superhero and more like a 1950s B-movie, or a straight-to-video rip-off of “The Fly.” Ant-Man has never had the appeal of Iron Man or Captain America, and who knows why au-diences are more accepting of Spider-man when it comes to spidey-related powers.

Ant-Man was just never an A-lister with The Avengers. But this is why he deserves his own film and ends Marvel’s Phase II of the Cinematic Universe. “Ant-Man” is the beginning of far more esoteric and off-beat superheroes, one that tests the wa-ters of the weird.

The synopsis of Ant-Man and his pow-ers, for the non-true-believers among us, is as follows: Hank Pym (Michael Doug-las) developed Pym Particles in the 1960s, which allowed him to shrink himself and other objects to miniscule sizes. While he is tiny, Ant-Man retains the strength of his full-sized self, allowing for his diminu-


tive punches to pack the same wallop as a grown man. For years, Pym oper-ates as an infiltrator for various agencies, SH.I.E.L.D. being one of them.

In addition to his shrinking abilities, Pym has developed a way to control a variety of ant species and use them for various purposes, like transportation, shorting out electrical equipment, bit-ing guards, etc. Tony Stark’s father wants to use Pym’s technology to create an army of tiny super soldiers, but Pym objects and the technology is lost.

Cut to many years later, and Pym has been voted out of his company by his daughter and his protégé is on the cusp of recreating Pym’s work. Pym must find a way to stop his creation from fall-ing into the wrong hands.

What sets Marvel films apart from other superhero franchises is the way that they occupy separate genres with-in the genre. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is a Cold War drama. “Guardians of the Galaxy” is a space opera. “Ant-Man” is a heist film. How-ever, it’s not a very good one. At no point is the audience tricked; the plan is too straightforward for an “Ocean’s 11”-style bait and switch. This is no “The Sting” and Paul Rudd is no Paul Newman.

However, because it is backed up by the superhero aspects, “Ant-Man” has enough action and fun to make up for those shortcomings. Rudd, who has taken the mantle of “Ant-Man” from an aging Pym, is his typical charming and affable self. Much of the fun is derived from the less-than-serious nature of the screenplay, penned in part by Edgar Wright, who left the project early due to

“creative differences.” I’d like to see Wright’s version of the

film, without notes from Marvel, be-cause the more absurd the circumstanc-es, the better. However, Marvel has an image to maintain, and while they allow a certain amount of levity, they still re-quire something a serious tone.

There is not much to say about the villain in the film. Corey Stoll plays a scheming scientist (of which the Marvel Universe has no shortage) and does so as well as the screenplay allows. Stoll is much more capable than we see in his performance, but then many of the Marvel villains have been frustratingly one-sided.

(Vincent D’Onofrio as the Kingpin in the Netflix Original Series “Daredevil” has so far been the only truly complex character, although Tom Hiddleston’s Loki is a close second.)

Villains need a chance to show their humanity in order to appear monstrous, and often the Marvel films just don’t have the time to devote real develop-ment. Given that we are now 12 films in, this is unlikely to change.

And there we have it. “Ant-Man” is a perfectly fine addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with enough action and wit to entertain an audience for two hours. If you love Marvel movies, you’ll likely love this one. If you haven’t seen a Marvel movie before, you’ll probably enjoy it as well.

Theere are plenty of Marvel movies and shows on the way—we’ll meet here again for “Captain America: Civil War.” Until then, we should try to branch out some. I hear there’s a new Adam Sandler movie soon...

“The Annoyingest”—the title is the least of your worries.

Free Will Astrology ROB BREzSNy

lEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A research-er at the University of Amsterdam developed software to read the emotions on faces. He used it to analyze the expression of the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s fa-mous painting, the “Mona Lisa.” The results suggest that she is 83 percent happy, 9 percent dis-gusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. Whether or not this assessment is accurate, I appreci-ate its implication that we humans are rarely filled with a single pure emotion. We often feel a variety of states simultaneously. In this spirit, I have calculated your probably mix for the coming days: 16 per-cent relieved, 18 percent innocent, 12 percent confused, 22 percent liberated, 23 percent ambitious, and 9 percent impatient.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “What makes you heroic?” asked philoso-pher Friedrich Nietzsche. Here’s how he answered himself: “simul-taneously going out to meet your highest suffering and your high-est hope.” This is an excellent way to sum up the test that would inspire you most in the coming weeks, Virgo. Are you up for the challenge? If so, grapple with your deepest pain. Make a fierce effort to both heal it and be motivated by it. At the same time, identify your brightest hope and take a decisive step toward fulfilling it.

lIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Actress and musician Carrie Brownstein was born with five planets in Li-bra. Those who aren’t conversant with astrology’s mysteries may conclude that she is a connoisseur of elegance and harmony. Even professional stargazers who know how tricky it is to make general-izations might speculate that she is skilled at cultivating balance, attuned to the needs of others, excited by beauty, and adaptive to life’s ceaseless change. So what are we to make of the fact that Brown-stein has said, “I really don’t know what to do when my life is not cha-otic”? Here’s what I suspect: In her ongoing exertions to thrive on cha-os, she is learning how to be a con-noisseur of elegance and harmony as she masters the intricacies of be-ing balanced, sensitive to others, thrilled by beauty, and adaptive to change. This is important for you to hear about right now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re entering a volatile phase of your cycle. In the coming weeks, you could become a beguiling monster who leaves a confusing mess in your wake. On the other hand, you could activate the full potential of your animal intelli-gence as you make everything you touch more interesting and soulful. I am, of course, rooting for the lat-ter outcome. Here’s a secret about how to ensure it: Be as ambitious to gain power over your own dark-ness as you are to gain power over what happens on your turf.

SAGITTARIuS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I’m a big fan of the attitude summed up by the command “Be here now!” The world would be more like a sanctuary and less like a battleground if people focused more on the present moment rath-er than on memories of the past and fantasies of the future. But in accordance with the astrological omens, you are hereby granted a temporary exemption from the “Be here how!” approach. You have a poetic license to dream and scheme profusely about what you want your life to be like in the fu-ture. Your word of power is tomor-row.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A philanthropist offered $100,000 to the Girls Scouts chapter of Western Washington. But there were strings attached. The donor specified that the money couldn’t be used to support transgender girls. The Girl Scouts rejected the gift, declaring their intention to empower every girl “regardless of her gender identity, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, or sexual ori-entation.” Do you have that much spunk, Capricorn? Would you turn down aid that would infringe on your integrity? You may be tested soon. Here’s what I suspect: If you are faithful to your deepest values, even if that has a cost, you will ultimately attract an equal bless-ing that doesn’t require you to sell out. (P.S. The Girls Scouts subse-quently launched an Indiegogo campaign that raised more than $300,000.)

AQuARIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider the possibility of open-ing your mind, at least briefly, to provocative influences you have closed yourself off from. You may need to refamiliarize yourself with potential resources you have been resisting or ignoring, even if they are problematic. I’m not saying you should blithely welcome them in. There still may be good reasons to keep your distance. But I think it would be wise and healthy for you to update your relationship with them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Over 10,000 species of mushrooms grow in North America. About 125 of those, or 1.25 percent, are tasty and safe to eat. All the others are unappetizing or poisonous, or else their edibility is in question. By my reckoning, a similar statistical breakdown should apply to the influences that are floating your way. I advise you to focus intently on those very few that you know for a fact are pleasurable and vital-izing. Make yourself unavailable for the rest.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Latin motto “Carpe diem” shouldn’t be translated as “Seize the day!”, says author Nicholson Baker. It’s not a battle cry exhort-ing you to “freaking grab the day

in your fist like a burger at a fair-ground and take a big chomping bite out of it.” The proper transla-tion, according to Baker, is “Pluck the day.” In other words, “you should gently pull on the day’s stem, as if it were a wildflower, holding it with all the practiced care of your thumb and the side of your finger, which knows how to not crush easily crushed things—so that the day’s stem undergoes increasing tension and draws to a tightness, and then snaps softly away at its weakest point, and the flower is released in your hand.” Keep that in mind, Aries. I un-derstand you are often tempted to seize rather than pluck, but these days plucking is the preferable ap-proach.

TAuRuS (April 20-May 20): When I talk about “The Great-est Story Never Told,” I’m not referring to the documentary film about singer Lana Del Rey or the debut album of the rap artist Sai-gon or any other cultural artifact. I am, instead, referring to a part of your past that you have never owned and understood…a phase from the old days that you have partially suppressed…an intense set of memories you have not fully integrated. I say it’s time for you to deal with this shadow. You’re finally ready to acknowl-edge it and treasure it as a crucial thread in the drama of your hero’s journey.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The ancient Greek philosopher Thales is credited as being one of the earliest mathematicians and scientists. He was a deep thinker whose thirst for knowledge was hard to quench. Funny story: Once he went out at night for a walk. Gazing intently up at the sky, he contemplated the myster-ies of the stars. Oops! He didn’t watch where he was going, and fell down into a well. He was OK, but embarrassed. Let’s make him your anti-role model, Gemini. I would love to encourage you to unleash your lust to be informed, educated, and inspired—but only if you watch where you’re going.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Charles Darwin is best known for his book The Origin of Species, which contains his seminal ideas about evolutionary biology. But while he was still alive, his bestseller was The Formation of Vegetable Mould Through the Action of Worms. The painstaking result of over 40 years’ worth of research, it is a tribute to the noble earthworm and that creature’s crucial role in the health of soil and plants. It provides a dif-ferent angle on one of Darwin’s central concerns: how small, in-cremental transformations that take place over extended periods of time can have monumental ef-fects. This also happens to be one of your key themes in the coming months.


“Terrorism,” they call it. Domestic, foreign, state, bio… There is always a la-bel ready made in a chyron generator to neatly fit below a local or global talking head when it comes to that magi-cal word.

That label is a box, a nice opaque sheet to tightly wrap something in a container so that it can be discussed, dis-sected, defended, decried, and most importantly—marketed. And what markets better than “hate”? Nothing, brother.

Hate divides. Hate en-flames. Hate moves. And therefore hate sells. And just when you think the kitchen of the week can’t get any hotter from all that? You shift gears and figure out a way to justify it to start the same show all over again, but now in the oppo-site direction. Act I, Scene 2, film at 11 and plenty of commercial slots for sale be-tween now and then. That’s why news outlets love it, and that’s what industries known as “activism” thrive on.

But to cops? We have plenty of sweet labels to paste onto an event, make no mistake: Especially Ag-gravated Assault, Reckless

Endangerment, Criminal Ho-micide—oh, lots of names, but when it happens we just start out simply calling it “a crime.”

That was certainly the scene this week.

Whatever h a p p e n e d here, once standing at the base of a road sign

completely obscured by flags, streamers, and other assorted 4th of July leftovers, it almost makes you forget about the sounds of gunfire and screams and shattered glass that inspired this im-promptu memoriam.

It makes you forget about the hint of cordite that may have filtered through the air and the uncertainty of all these things, and of course…the fear that was as palpable as any of these decorations or the signage itself.

Such an underestimated subject, “fear.” I once saw a movie that offered the supposition that “Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me,” the line went. “Danger is very real. But fear is a choice.” It was a fascinating concept, but it’s also a load of gar-bage when you’re running towards the unknown that

is made of the above de-scribed sounds and smells all competing for domi-nance in 93 degree heat on a clear Thursday morning in a park where you’ve taken your children in the past, and you’re now removing your friends on stretchers and strangers in armored ve-hicles in the present, won-dering when the high veloc-ity rounds would come your way again and if this was the last human being you’d have to pull out of this hast-ily improvised but well-crafted Hell. Or if you’d be the next one someone else was having to extract under the same conditions, once you realized that cold sensation running down your midriff or thigh wasn’t a spilled drink or a splash from a puddle, but rather your mind reacting to trau-ma by cutting off pain, but forgetting to eliminate tem-perature sensitivity along with it. Experiencing one or all of those things…but hav-ing to press on regardless.

“Fear is a choice?” My ass.

“Criminal homicide,” though…now that is a choice. The ultimate form of “Hate.”

Whatever $20 label you choose to be most effective

(or God forbid least offen-sive), that’s what it comes down to. And it is just as deliberate an act as it was for my brothers and sisters to plow head-on into that maelstrom on July 17 with nothing but the comfort of a pistol or a long gun in their hand, and the confidence in those around them that car-ried the day in a mix of emo-tions few truly know, but all recognize once they’ve been there, as they stack up with strangers and pour into the unknown, room by room, corner by corner, un-known by unknown with guns and resolve aimed for-ward.

“Terrorist,” they call him. He was a “criminal” do-

ing what criminals do mak-ing “cops” do what cops do. He deserves no more credit than that because I’m not scared despite his efforts. Just angry.

Save credit for the stories that will come from that hot, angry day after the FBI and NCIS pack up their equip-ment and the investigation is final and the stories can flow. Trust me on this.

We will tell you about our walk in the park that day that we will always remem-ber, and no one would do well to forget.

When officer Alexander D. Teach is not patrolling our fair city on the heels of the criminal element, he spends his spare time volunteering for the Boehm Birth Defects Center.
