I sought a theme and sought for it in vain...
I have drawn a blank, abyss, cavity, chasm, emptiness, gap, gulf, hiatus, hole, hollow, hollowness, interstice, nihility, nothingness, nullity, omission, opening, preterition, vacancy, vacuity, vacuum.
So for your avatar, fill my creative void. |

This theme inspired me to steal from some classics. I put together this collage:
The sun, of course.
Mako from his role in Conan The Barbarian. Who better to play the part of a world weary thinker?
The painting, The Gleaners.
The painting of Narcissus gazing at his reflection.
Keanu and Connie from their roles in Devil's Advocate. The whole movie was about vanity, so this was a natural choice.
The painting, Two Jewish Scholars at a Table.
Ecclesiastes
Reflections of a Royal Philosopher
1 The words of the Teacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2 Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher,b
vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
3 What do people gain from all the toil
at which they toil under the sun?
4 A generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun goes down,
and hurries to the place where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the south,
and goes around to the north;
round and round goes the wind,
and on its circuits the wind returns.
7 All streams run to the sea,
but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
there they continue to flow.
8 All thingsc are wearisome;
more than one can express;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
or the ear filled with hearing.
9 What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there a thing of which it is said,
"See, this is new"?
It has already been,
in the ages before us.
11 The people of long ago are not remembered,
nor will there be any remembrance
of people yet to come
by those who come after them. |

Note for tortoise - got your note, but my reply bounced back.
Go ahead and make a new login for the gallery and I will approve it when I return... as well as uploading the straggling avatars for this week's contest.
I'm off to flood my liver in New Orleans for the weekend - you kids be good! |

| Daniel Day-Lewis played William Cutting AKA Bill the Butcher (in Gangs of New York), a fictionalized version of William Poole, the leader of the infamous US Know Nothing Party in the mid 1800s, a nativist political movement which grew out of a popular reaction to fears that major cities were being overwhelmed by Irish Catholic immigrants whom they regarded as hostile to American values and controlled by the Pope in Rome. |

In the "Neverending Story" The Nothing destroyed the magical world in the movie. I thought as a child that the wolf was the nothing. It turns out that the wolf is Gmork, who is a servant to the nothing. But it turns out at the end of the movie "It's like the nothing never was." So what was the movie about???
NOTHING |
