What's the consensus? Are Brody's nightmares coming to life? Is he delusional because of emotional strain and just THINKING that his nightmares are coming to get him?

In the words of TM...
Patience.

We don't have any control over what is going to happen, and if we ever do, we will know it because it will be very obvious. So let's be sharp and see how things play out.

Speaking of which, anyone check bip.tv lately?

Heather, I don't think it is just an issue of delusion... I think some of Brody's nightmares have truly been "brought to life". That is my take.

Well, the German may be a reference to the German legend of Faust, the man who made a pact with the devil.

Just thought I'd throw that out there. Very Happy

Hi Yami!
I would absolutely LOVE it if this was a Faust reference. For those of you who haven't read the plays, Faust (or Faustus, depending on whether you're reading Goethe or Marlowe) sold his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge. The knowledge, of course, gave him great power. He didn't use his knowledge OR his power for good, but instead squandered it on a series of petty indulgences. Then he died and got dragged to spooky, pitchfork filled hell.

Hullo!
Yeah, the fact that this ARG has a lotta Stephen King references, and a possibly Faust one, made me want to check this game out a little more. Very Happy

I tried selling my soul to satan once...he said it wasn't worth shit.

like I said...


ok so, true life, is there a reference to Faust that you see in the German? A specific quote? Or is it just because it's, you know, German?

brodhwk (12:43:48 AM): ha
Idta1985 (12:43:54 AM): Where are you?
brodhwk (12:44:08 AM): That's a popular question these days.
Idta1985 (12:44:10 AM): People have been going crazy trying to find you...
Idta1985 (12:44:30 AM): Have you seen those search videos on youtube?
brodhwk (12:44:34 AM): Why?
brodhwk (12:44:38 AM): yeah
Idta1985 (12:45:09 AM): Because a certein someone thinks you are in trouble...And you should be amongst friends and family
brodhwk (12:45:25 AM): Who is that someone?
Idta1985 (12:46:09 AM): No freaking clue...He was the first person to make that video...I corresponded with him through e-mail a few times but he is weird...He says he is one of your fans
Idta1985 (12:46:19 AM): Does the name Bremmie sound framiliar?
brodhwk (12:46:28 AM): No.
Idta1985 (12:47:22 AM): Then I have no clue :S But he is very worried about you...I tried to tell him you want to be left alone but he doesn't listen. And on top of that he posted a photo of you on his blog and then another one of you that doesn't look anything like the first one
brodhwk (12:47:55 AM): hm.
Idta1985 (12:47:58 AM): And you never wanted to show me a picture of you so beyond an icon of an eyeball I have no freaking clue what you look like lol

brodhwk (12:49:50 AM): Well, I'm moving on. Trying anyway.
They can do what they want.
Idta1985 (12:50:52 AM): Well as long as that is what will make you happy then by all means...I am not here to stop you. I am just really confused about what happened. One minute we talk and you are all laughs and ok and then I don't hear from you for a long time.
brodhwk (12:51:21 AM): Life is just kind of chaotic.
Idta1985 (12:51:24 AM): And then you come online saying only some gibberish and making no sense :S
Idta1985 (12:51:29 AM): Yea tell me about it.
brodhwk (12:51:39 AM): Gibberish?
Idta1985 (12:51:46 AM): Yep

Idta1985 (12:52:48 AM): Well then...Someone seems to have gotten a hold of your accounts.

Idta1985 (12:56:07 AM): But all joking aside. I really wanna know how you have been...Why did you feel the need to disapear?
brodhwk (12:56:46 AM): Hmm. Just getting my shit together, you know. And seeing what life is like when it's not mine.
Idta1985 (12:57:22 AM): When it's not yours?
brodhwk (12:57:32 AM): Like, how other people live.
Idta1985 (12:57:35 AM): Ah
Idta1985 (12:57:41 AM): And how is that going?
brodhwk (12:57:54 AM): I'm not a body snatcher...
brodhwk (12:58:02 AM): Going alright I guess.
Idta1985 (12:58:09 AM): Are you happier this way? Or do you miss the old days?
brodhwk (12:58:17 AM): I was just meant to be a voyeur, I guess.
brodhwk (12:58:20 AM): HAppy.
brodhwk (12:58:25 AM): I don't know it.
Idta1985 (12:58:27 AM): You and me both brodstar...
Idta1985 (12:58:59 AM): Well yea I guess happy is a very loose term. Are you content?
brodhwk (12:59:07 AM): No.

Idta1985 (12:59:34 AM): Never ever?
brodhwk (1:00:02 AM): no
Idta1985 (1:00:41 AM): Well that sucks...But I guess if you are used to living a certein way, it's not as bad as some may imagine.

brodhwk (1:06:53 AM): Oh.

Idta1985 (1:07:34 AM): And then there is this second picture of someone else also claiming to be you
brodhwk (1:08:01 AM): Can't get it to open.
Idta1985 (1:08:09 AM): :S
brodhwk (1:08:24 AM): It's asking for a password?
Idta1985 (1:08:47 AM): Hmm...weird?

brodhwk (1:10:35 AM): Now just a couple ears and a nipple.
Idta1985 (1:11:06 AM): Awesome! Why did you take them off?
brodhwk (1:11:20 AM): Boredom, professionalism, growing up, you know.
Idta1985 (1:11:41 AM): Yea tell me about it...I just had to redye my pink hair because it wasn't professional enough
Idta1985 (1:11:43 AM): grr

Idta1985 (1:12:25 AM): Brown/black lol
Idta1985 (1:12:27 AM): it's a big mess
brodhwk (1:12:33 AM): ha
Idta1985 (1:12:45 AM): I still have like 1 or 2 strands of pink because I am an idiot that can't dye her own hair :S
brodhwk (1:12:48 AM): Can't be that bad. It's attached to a cute head.

Idta1985 (1:14:17 AM): NYC?
Idta1985 (1:15:16 AM): Ahh I always feel like if I say bye to you it will be a year before you come back lol

Idta1985 (1:16:13 AM): Why scary?
brodhwk (1:16:21 AM): I haven't forgotten.
brodhwk (1:16:53 AM): Some albino crumb jockey wants to go back home to mom's basement and play video games and I'm standing in the way of that, I guess.
Idta1985 (1:17:01 AM): lmao

Idta1985 (1:19:01 AM): Well she's a member of the street team she said she spoke to you a lot...
Idta1985 (1:19:10 AM): You told her you wanted to meet her for a drink
brodhwk (1:19:33 AM): Ooh... teacher? Heather. Yeah.
Idta1985 (1:19:36 AM): Yup!
brodhwk (1:20:09 AM): Yeah, say hi. I should send her a note on Facebook I guess. I'm terrible with friendships.
Idta1985 (1:20:46 AM): lol I will tell them all you said hi

Idta1985 (1:21:27 AM): me and my spelling (sorry tired)
Idta1985 (1:21:28 AM): lol
brodhwk (1:21:36 AM): Same here.
brodhwk (1:21:40 AM): Goodnight.




drinkPurpleDrank: hey
brodhwk: ??
drinkPurpleDrank: this is lauren, or goodluck. i've spoken to you once maybe by email, hope it's okay that i messaged you
brodhwk: Sure.
brodhwk: How are you?
drinkPurpleDrank: good, kind of burning some midnight oil catching up on this show weeds
brodhwk: Don't know it. Semi-ironically, I'm not much for television.
drinkPurpleDrank: me either, but i'm a sucker for shows on dvd when i have a day off
brodhwk: Where are you?
drinkPurpleDrank: upton, ma
brodhwk: Ah.
drinkPurpleDrank: the most boring town in massachusetts
brodhwk: ha
drinkPurpleDrank: some radio station took a vote and we won
drinkPurpleDrank: or lost, however you choose to view it
brodhwk: That's pretty funny.
drinkPurpleDrank: yeah, there's really nothing to do. i just moved back here after being gone for a few years
brodhwk: Hard to go back?
drinkPurpleDrank: it always is, isn't it? i was living in maine. i loved it but i wound up in a big mess. so it was time to come back to fix things before i go back
brodhwk: Maine is amazing.
drinkPurpleDrank: I was born there. In Farmington. It's my favorite place.
brodhwk: Well, I hope you get to go home again.
drinkPurpleDrank: I lived in Bar Harbor, though. Which is probably the most beautiful place I've seen in this country.
brodhwk: Boston is it for me.
drinkPurpleDrank: I will in a month or so.
drinkPurpleDrank: Boston is great. I used to want to live there.
drinkPurpleDrank: Is that where you are now?
brodhwk: No. I'm just kind of drifting.
drinkPurpleDrank: Sounds kind of nice
brodhwk: Ah, it's alright, I guess.
drinkPurpleDrank: Do you travel a lot?
brodhwk: Yeah.
drinkPurpleDrank: I imagine it's part of the job, right? But still it must be nice to have that kind of freedom.
brodhwk: maybe
brodhwk: The grass is always greener, as they say.
drinkPurpleDrank: But it's good to see different grass every once and awhile.
brodhwk: I suppose.
drinkPurpleDrank: Would you rather be back home?
brodhwk: Depends what you mean by home.
drinkPurpleDrank: well, where is your home?
brodhwk: I grew up in Ambrosia Mass, but have been in NYC for about a decade.
drinkPurpleDrank: I think you can have more than one "home." We used to move a lot, so when I'm asked about my hometown I really don't know how to answer, you know?
brodhwk: Absolutely.
drinkPurpleDrank: i lived in the town i'm in now for about 5 or 6 years. but i never felt "from here."
brodhwk: Yeah, I feel that way about NYC.
drinkPurpleDrank: I couldn't imagine living in such a busy place.
brodhwk: Yeah, it offers some challenges for sure.
drinkPurpleDrank: I've only ever been to visit. Something like a school trip to the Statue of Liberty. And another time we just drove through it.
drinkPurpleDrank: It's so lit up and alive all the time.
brodhwk: Sure is.
drinkPurpleDrank: I think I'm probably too timid to handle it. But who knows. Maybe it would shake something out of me.
brodhwk: Calm little place compared to some cities.
brodhwk: Listen Lauren, it's been nice talking with you, but I'm getting the evil eye from a coffee shop clerk, so I better get moving.
Nice chatting with you.
drinkPurpleDrank: Very nice to talk to you, as well. Night, Brody.
brodhwk: Goodnight.

Brody's blog reopened and 2 new posts were made with some comment from our old buddy "Bob":

Sunday, March 9, 2008
Firm grip on the wagon.
Joe, I think this will do well to keep us in touch.

I'm glad the film is doing well. I've decided not to bother looking it up.
I'm sorry you're stuck with the hassle of keeping the wolves at bay, but I just can't face press right now.
They'll forget pretty soon, anyway. They alway do.

I dropped my mom a line to re-assure her everything is ok and that I'll be visiting her when I can.

This damned mental block is making nuts, Nabsy. I'll pull through it and get back to work, but life sure does like to lay down a mean shit-kicking sometimes, doesn't it? You understand. I know.

So I'll keep you posted.

I guess I've got to get some closure, hiding behind the booze hasn't done shit for me. But it feels better for an hour or two.

I miss her still, Joe. Can't get her out of my head. The nightmares have subsided, so has some of the rage.
I still have some questions, but I know they won't get easy answers, if any.

And dude, I know you mean well, but scrap the impersonator bit. It's not like those guys aren't going to find our soon anyway. Just pay the guy and send him along, ok?

Wow.

Bitterness is hell, man, but it ain't got nothing on this state of mind.

Music, Music, I Hear Music...
Well, the mid-winter blues are here, aren't they. Back and forth, of course, not just sad or happy. That wouldn't make sense.

Flies and Blue Skies and all that. And what I wouldn't give to cry king's x, but the past isn't meant to be changed, just to teach. And it's a harsh teacher, isn't it?

The beach is amazing, but I heard a song I just had to look up. And it's caught in the pit of my gray matter. Like a sad, reminiscent ode...

Ronnie, let's laugh in the face of death, ok?
