Journal HomelessInLaJolla's Journal: 140925 (movie)

Today is Thursday the twenty-fifth day of September in 2014 A.D.

Thinking about a movie, or a video game. BRICKS. The sphinx walks up and down the great wall of China and reads whatever is written there. For every brick in the sphinx, up to and including the actual fellow physically placing the brick in coordinate position, all of the laundry, all of the grocery, all of the after work hours entertainment, all of the plumbing, all of the lights, all of the adminstration, the executives, the managerial, the paperwork and offices and contractors, up to and including the single fellow placing the brick in physical coordinate position, for every brick in the sphinx, as the sphinx walks up and down the great wall of China and reads what is written there. All of the finances for each brick, and each community over time associated with each individual brick, how the money is portioned out, how it is divided and distributed, how it is all counted and numbered ahead of time, to facilitate the operation of the community, as it functions associated with the individual fellow placing the brick in physical position, over time as the sphinx walks up and down the great wall of China and reads what is written there. How the lives of all of those people interoperate, how they share road space, how they share lunch room space, how they share restaurant space after hours, how their lives change over time, the stages they go through. How the finances are all counted ahead of time and kept track of in bread boxes along the way. A movie, or a video game. BRICKS. As the sphinx walks up and down the great wall of China and reads what is written there, for each brick in the sphinx, up to and including the single individual fellow placing the physical brick in coordinate position, all of the lives and times and situations and operations associated with all of the people in the resulting community, for each brick in the sphinx. How quickly does the sphinx read? How quickly does it walk? What is the lifespan of the people in the brick system? What do they do for their money? What are their injuries, their faults, their failings? How do they break down? How do they notice? What excuses do they make? For each brick in the sphinx.

The movie included several fortune cookies, points where the entire audience was roaring in laughter. For each brick in the sphinx there are many people. Sometimes there are tricks between the bricks, little known nuances which cause comedy and entertainment for everybody involved. If it is known that there are present people associated with the sphinx brick system, and that is many people, then there are ways to make them go googly, or make them choose poorly, or inspire them to aspire to greatness but, like the seed thrown on rocky ground, they have no root and they go back to EATING IT. And those eating it manage various sized teams or corporations or even nations of people that don't eat it but are hopelessly locked into little money games.

The video game could allow the player to enter the role of any of the people in any of the systems in any of the bricks, up to and including the priests and doctors working on the mummified baby in the middle of the financial accounting system. Or the player could play an outside eunuch, as in the temple eunuchs of old, and put the game into frame by frame and make games out of profiling workers, all in line performing a similar and like task, by poking them in various particular muscles with various points and pressures, and taking note of which sounds they make, if they notice at all, if they go completely bonkers. The possibilities for testing and manipulating teams of workers in known brick operational teams, as in working on the sphinx or the pyramids or the great wall itself or any of the major projects, are beyond endless. The ancient temple eunuchs did a remarkable job of profiling the available testing space and the results are recorded in an archive known as "the law". The law is, in modern days, broken down into religions and nationalities in a compressive manner because the entirety of the law is far too large to record or carry out in singular or linear format.
