Addams

I've always been a fan of Mr. Addams. Sure, I saw the TV show first, then discovered it was based on older cartoons that appeared in Playboy. This of course lead to my fascination with Playboy and naked women, then on to the harder stuff. I guess Addams was a gateway drug to hardcore porn.

Beyond that, there were the movies, then another TV series, etc. Addams legacy lives on! His works show us a glimpse into another world, a world where the rules are different than the "real" world. I must confess, it warped my little mind back then. I try to live the Addams life style. See the world the Addams way. "Seek out the dark forces and join in their hellish crusade."

They are finally releasing the original TV show on DVD next month! Then, I can own all of them... except for the crappy new show which really never got into the Addams spirit.

When I am feeling down in the dumps, I fire up the 2 movies, and they never fail to cheer me up. They have such a positive outlook on life. No matter what others think of them, they live how they want to live. They surround themselves with death and despair, because they realize these things are not real. The Addams Family is a wake up call, to realize that nothing in this world makes sense, so why not create your own sense of reality? And that is what I do.

So, cheers to Mr. Addams and all like him - those who envision a world different than yours and those around you. At least, that is what I am guessing based on movies and TV, since my world is different. My Arcane World.
