Whatever the cosmos is trying to tell me...PBS is responsible

So this isn't so much arty related as just straight up weirdness that I felt should be documented.

So, last night I'm dreaming my weird dreams (which have been way more fragmented lately, I'm thinking cause of increased activity) and during one part I'm in class and everyone's sitting around casually talking about our next project.

My teacher looks at me, he's sitting on the edge of a desk infront of me, "So," he says, "What are you gonna pick?"

I'm leaning back in my chair at my own desk and I say to him, "Oh, no contest, Thomas the tank engine." Everybody laughs a little bit and so does he but he nods his head too, "Ok. That's fine."

Now I'm not sure if any of you remember Thomas the Tank Engine but he's from a little show on PBS called shining time station. Here's a photo for posterity.

And what a weird fucking show it was, it seems boring as fuck and honestly it probably was, a whole children's show revolving around a fucking train station. But whatever I loved it, and with George Carlin as "Mr. Conductor." oh my god...fantastic. I cannot tell you what it is like to have grown up watching this slow-paced stop-motion/live action train educational programming with George Carlin in the morning, then see the same man, doing his stand up on HBO in the evening. Maybe that explains a little of why I am the way I am...huh.

 

Anyway the how reason for bringing up Thomas the Tank Engine is because as I'm walking home from tending to my responsibilities at my friend Sara's house (Sara lives five minutes down the street, has three cats, a lot of plants, and is currently in Virginia competing in a sailing tournament so I am taking care of her shiznit until Sun.) As I'm walking I notice something on the brick wall of the building to my left.

It's a sticker, the back end has been tore off a bit but you can still tell what it is...

It's Thomas the Tank Engine...

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN COSMOS?
