The Lamentations Of Otigoji

Laments; I've got a few. Whining, sniveling, sobbing uncontrollably, these were all part of my first blog (still out there somewhere, just as unread as this one) and I have almost lost the will to complain.
My original lament was that getting old means you are automatically wrong... wrong and irrelevant. On my old blog, I used to whine that just because an idea or technique is old does not mean it is inherently or intrinsically obsolete. Then I wised up and now I believe that if it is old it is worthless. Old = ludicrous, but I wax sniveling.
This blog is a gift from my genius cousin Michael http://www.cruftbox.com/ who thinks everyone with a keyboard must blog.

He liked the ancient writings attributed to me on the old usenet newsgroup alt.movies.monster. (I told you that newsgroup was doomed. ) So he posted the two Laments of OtiGoji and turned it over to me. You owe him for this.

While you were protesting anti-immigrant H.R. 4437 downtown Los Angeles Saturday, I was helping dedicate a plaque at First and Vermont. You see, it's a plaque to commemorate the site of the little studio where the American inserts for GODZILLA KING OF THE MONSTERS were filmed.
You see, the Clampers (E. Vitus Clamper) presented the plaque (to be installed later) to the Belmont Elementary school. You see, this will help the children understand that there is a history in Los Angeles, even though all the old building must be demolished.
You see, I was asked to present a brief tribute to Akira Ifukube, the composer of Godzilla's music so naturally I gave a treatise on the socio-politcal atmosphere of mid-century U.S.A. at the time of the Americanization of the original Japanese film.
Are you beginning to see?
NO? Well, you may see pictures herehttp://www.vinylmaddness.com/Plaque.html

It appears these lamentations are manifest.
Behold!
If I get my way, I will present categories for an Air Wing (my interests in crypto-aviation, i.e. the Blackbird family and things like AURORA and BLACKSTAR), a Hall of Sights (my interests in motion pictures), and a Hall of Sounds (my interests in music).

My primary Internet interest is probably Japanese science fiction movies, so I draw your attention to www.scifijapan.com http://www.scifijapan.com so now let us see how this new baby crawls!

Here I am, whining, sniveling and lamenting that I cannot make my blog log. Maybe some day I will get with the program, but for today, I am lame.

If you want to get all up in this blog, you must get the entries out of the recent posts or archives.
