Strange 'human' in New York.

Sitting in Madison Park, Tuesday afternoon, just, you know, eating some cherries on a park bench. I was, I mean. And I see this guy walk by. Over six feet, maybe as tall as seven. Completely bald, pencil moustache, wrap-around leather shoes that looked almost like sandals, cream business suit (Very stylish) and dark glasses. When I say dark I mean anti-light dark. He was walking straight into the sun and there was still no hint of reflection of eyes behind them. But the strangest thing was his walk. Like his legs were put on... different. Like you'd stuffed something vaguely insectoid into human skin and said 'go.' No one else noticed or even looked at him. Strange feeling of coldness around when he walked past. And he was wearing a massive golden ankh around his neck. Apparent age 40. Any ideas who or what the hell this person was? I'm curious.

(Sidenote. On the drive home, we found a scarab beetle scuttling around inside the car. Also befriended several Luna moths on the PA turnpike. Kind of a totem of mine anyway, but it was neat. I got pictures of one landing on me. Er. This has nothing to do with my question, it was just neat.)

He's an agent working for the Conspiracy. Behind his glasses are green hive eyeballs.

It's New York. If you pay close and careful attention you'll notice a shitload of people with various physical disabilities and various strange physical features. The couple of times I really, really, really looked I noticed a few people with that defect where people don't have arms but just hands sticking out of their shoulders. They just walk by you talking with their friends. You probably never notice them. Hiding in plain sight.

Maybe he had some difference (or defect, but i prefer to say difference) that made him walk in that way. Perhaps he also had something up with his eyes and so didn't want anyone to see them. people who's face area is different in some way to the masses are often the most put upon.

Or, perhaps you psychically projected him. It's funny that you noted the glasses, which occur in "the invisibles". I don't know if you've ever read this. if you have, maybe you just noticed someone with this difference and your mind applied surplus data to him that complied with the "different/other" archetype which he fitted into, thus altering your memory of him.

Well, he was probably just your average native New Yorker, but I haven't gone on an alien conspiracy rant in months, so...
He was a MIB. PRobably just leaving his Black Cadilac or going to it. He was interigating someone who had had an exterterrestial contact that the shadow government didn't want going public. Death and dismemberment threats ensued. Did you notice any black helicopters in the air? That was them. THey're everywhere, and they don't want the truth to get out. But we know better.

Whew. That felt good. I like saying that stuff once in awhile.

Hey, maybe Horus was up for walkies.

I was thinking Horus maybe. Heh. I wasn't the only one though, my girlfriend was sitting next to me. We noticed different pieces of him. I noticed suit and up, she noticed suit and down. Erm. I just thought it was spiffy.

I spoke with Horus the other day. His wisdom is uncanny. But to the point...
It could of been Horus, sure. "Gods" can take human form. But if it was, why was he walking aroung the garden?

My money is on Khepri.

And why was he walking around a garden? Why not?

I know that guy. He writes jingles for radio ads. Pretty harmless.

Funny, I never thought Horus the jingling type. Got to make a living somehow, I suppose...

No its khepre. Insectoid, ankh, walking into the sun. Although I don't see that Khepre would be into radio jingles anymore then Horus.

No, no, his name is Jim. He lives in Queens with his babymamma.

It could be both, y'know. Jim could be, like, an avatar of Horus. Or Khephri. Or whatever.

You should tell him that. 'Hey, dude, there's totally this bunch of people on the Internet who reckon you're the incarnation of some kind of Egyptian God!'

It'd make his day, I reckon.

In fact, I think you should try some Flex Mentallo style divination. Go up to him next time you see him and ask him to say just the first thing that comes into his mind. And then tell us what it was.

And watch the spectacle of barbeloids discussing, in depth, with much reference to the cabala, the runes, and the works of Grant Morrison, the significance of a guy saying 'Huh?'

Reading that desciption made me think of Peter Wyngarde. The actor who played Jason King, and we all know the connections there.

On a complete tangent, NakedJedi's mention of Khepri led me to find this lovely image:



That's so getting worked into a tatto design I've been working on. Twas a missing piece I've been looking for. Just wanted to say "thanks for the syncronicity"

"thanks for the syncronicity"

and did anyone else think this would be a great title for the magick-noir novel currently running through our heads.

Kind of like a Philip Marlow detective story with wierd shit happening all the time.
