where's my peeps?
only about 10 hits a day? what's happened to my popularity?
so i thought maybe i should tell you all about who the Monkey King really is. One of the few good memories i had as a kid (most of them involved fear and math....i was expected to understand tan, cos, sin, cot, and shit by third grade) anyway, the Monkey King or Sun WuKong is a mythical/fairytale figure. he was the god of monkeys or some such...very mischievious. he had a staff that he used for fighting that was so heavy that noone else could lift. it could grow and shrink to any size and he kept it in his ear. there were tales of him stealing nectars from the gods, and betting a god(or maybe it was buddha, don't quite remember) he could jump to the end of the earth, only to find these five pillars, to mark his passing he peed. when he returned he explained that he had done it only to have the god/buddha hold out his hand with his fingers smelling like monkey pee.
also he had a hat on that wouldn't come off. whenever he did something mischiefy this monk would chant and it would shrink around his head and cause him pain. one of his best friends was this pig warrior. and i think another was a river god.
anyway, i have this picture in my mind with him sitting all cocky on a throne with the long feathers in his hat, and leaning to the side a bit. when i find it...it will be half of a tattoo on my back.
