So I'm watching “Miami Vice†(the movie, not the TV show) on cable a few days ago and once again I hear the unmistakable voice of Chris Cornell, the dude who was the lead singer of Soundgarden and had the hit “Black Hole Sun†(among others) until he died of a drug overdose in the late nineties. Flash forward to end of June 2007 and a wobbling whammy of an Alter Vu hits me like a hurricane. Zesh fesses up and says it was her, so I want to know...
How? How do I know that you've been screwing with the timeline? Why have you been screwing with it? Why would I remember it as it WAS instead of how it IS? That dude died a decade ago and I'm now hearing for the very first time Audioslave and his solo recordings released years ago. He's even at Live 8! I watched that thing from start to end live on AOL and MTV in July 2005. Chris Cornell wasn't there then but now you sure as hell can find him on youtube singing “Black Hole Sun†and “Like A Stone†right there on the Live 8 stage in Berlin, like he never died. He also sings “You Know My Name†for the Bond flick “Casino Royale†that was out in 2006. I saw that in the theater with my son and, guess what? - no Chris Cornell song - because HE WAS DEAD! Now, I'm not saying I have a problem with resurrection in the 21st Century, but come on. Why did you raise him like Lazarus? Was it an unintended consequence of other alterations? What were they intended to do? Like the lyrics say, “If you take a life, do you know what you'll give? Odds are, you won't like what it is.†Maybe you just wanted him around to shoot a musical note at Bush with “Wide Awake.â€
I have to say, it's not like they show it in “The Butterfly Effect†and “Frequency†where the guy in the middle of the timeline alterations remembers the original past AND the revised past. Nope. I only remember Chris Cornell dead from the late nineties on. He's too public of a figure to just sweep under the carpet but how many anonymous people had their fates changed while no one noticed? Who died that was alive and who's alive that was dead? What is your motivation and purpose? Do you have the right, let alone the wisdom, to wield this god-like power? Jeez, I knew it Darby! I told you this crap would drive me insane and I'd turn into Javier, travel back to 2000 and give Titor a ration of [censored] for screwing up the past! LOL!
Speaking of godlike... recall, what's with the link to the GLP website about a time capsule and the bogus picture? “Boom! 'n [censored]†LOL! Coincidentally (or IS it? - nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more Peter ;-) - Chris Cornell is credited on imdb for writing “Drawing Flies†a song in the movie “Blast From The Past†about a guy who grew up in his family's bomb shelter after a plane crashed on their house, convincing them it was WWIII ... kind of a living time capsule. It also fits with Zeshua's post from November 15, 2006. About that, who besides a time communicator from the future paying respect to the originator of her technology would know that the article about John G. Cramer's research would drop on that particular date? Hmmm ... maybe
Professor Cramer's daughter Kathryn? But SHE can't be YOU Zeshua, because I asked you if you ever read Gregory Benford's scifi novel “Timescape†- that is ALL about communicating across time - and you didn't know anything about it.
The Cramers know him fairly well I'd say.
So, bring it on Z. What will the next alter vu yield? I know you're itching to pull the trigger again. Eventually, I will become the Time Travel Activist! All Your Base Are Belong To Us! LOL!
