"catching up with oneself" reminds me of the movements in sex and masturbation - and "auto-affection"

Several schizophrenics feel that time may be an illusion. One of them also felt that something akin to the St. Vincent video where there is a woman watching a screen of static.

Similarly, David Bowie's mythology (?!) sometimes involves someone watching a movie (The Prettiest Star [6], Life on Mars [7]) and the lyrics to The Man who Sold the World suggests we are already dead, as do the movies in the past of the prettiest star. The girl with the mousey hair is "hooked to the silver screen" which is a good description of someone close.

The American beauty theme of a sort of video that can stopped and spread out, is found in Japanese judgement day mythology wherein one meets a guy (King Enma) with a mirror in which ones whole life is recorded like a sort of DVD. Our tongues are ripped out. Is my life simultaneously my death and judgement?


Kyles Death in "The Worlds Greatest Dad" [8] by Bobcat Goldthwait involves a suicide watching ones father's woman while masturbating, and then being kept alive by the narration of the father (WG dad - Robin Williams). The death scene background music is Akron/Family's "Don't be afraid, You are already dead"

Willow Creak also by Bobcat Goldthwait is about trying to find Big Foot (hmm), and eventually being pulled backwards very quickly. Bobcat's other work, the world's greatest dad make me think he has seen things. I worry that my death is going to be a pull back like the end of Willow Creak - I am already dead, perhaps. Big foot is going to pull me back to my past.

The GOldthewait thing may be an utter irrelevance but...maybe not.

The Past in Gatsby "I wouldn’t ask too much of her," I ventured. "You can’t repeat the past." "Can’t repeat the past?" he cried incredulously. "Why of course you can!" He looked around him wildly, as if the past were lurking here in the shadow of his house, just out of reach of his hand. "I’m going to fix everything just the way it was before," he said, nodding determinedly. "She’ll see."

And as I sat there, brooding on the old unknown world, I thought of Gatsby's wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night. Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning — So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Gatsby was a Platonist ningen 人言 The truth was that Jay Gatsby, of West Egg, Long Island, sprang from his Platonic conception of himself. He was a son of God — a phrase which, if it means anything, means just that — and he must be about His Father’s business, the service of a vast, vulgar, and meretricious beauty. So he invented just the sort of Jay Gatsby that a seventeen year old boy would be likely to invent, and to this conception he was faithful to the end.
