| A poached egg atop corn, quinoa and beef for breakfast |
A little breakfast snack sufficed until late at night after a rainy cold blustery day. Isn't it crazy how the different weather can dictate the way you might feel mentally each day when work and environment are not a factor? And it doesn't follow the same pattern. Some rainy days are heaven and bring a ton of energy and excitement. Others like this day, feel bleak and brought a migraine. But before it did, I was able to fall deep into the subject of the Wolfgang Pack, the Angulo Brothers from a Lower East Side Housing Building who never left their apartment due to an overbearing father and battered mother but who discovered the world through movies and pure imagination. I remember when the story broke and how fascinating it was but like many incredible subjects it somehow faded away and I never thought about those amazing boys again, until today.
I often speak of the YouTube rabbit hole but it truly is an 8th wonder of the world. Somehow all of these subjects you've considered that day culminate into this giant feed of wonder. Some suggestions are inexplicable and random. Others are on point and I imagine are due to our internet searches being shared, sometimes I fear even our texts and emails. I was on rescue dog videos for awhile and one was matted like a wolf, so then I'm watching some guy that rescued a wolf that thought it was a dog. Somehow that lead to an Arthur Miller interview about Marilyn Monroe and filming the Misfits. The Misfits is maybe my favorite movie. The Misfits and wolves somehow brought in the 20/20 Wolfpack story with Elizabeth Vargas who coincidentally I had read an article online earlier that day about her alcoholism. And the movie obsessed boys had performed a song with Marky Ramone, who played in the Misfits. All of this combined logic not unlike your dreams and subconscious mind. How fitting to then swim in the imaginations of these incredibly resilient boys.

| The Brothers Angulo |
This documentary leaves me with more questions than answers but the story is so gripping, almost unbelievable, the brothers, each more compelling than the next let alone the mother, the One sister that barely gets mentioned and then the paranoid, delusional, abusive father. But the film a great reminder to stay open and keep embracing your true nature.
