The Whale Penis; Amongst Other Things.

I’ve been reading this book for about two months now and I just can’t seem to worm my way through it like I usually do. It is a Murakami book, who it the equivalent to a Japanese Chuck Palahniuk, and so I thought I would devour it. At the beginning, I was hooked; willing to work through the residual adjectives of Japanese translation, but now it seems more like it is more like a chore to read more than an enjoyment. But one chapter held my attention, and I find myself reading it when I need inspiration, and the chapter is about a whale penis.

So the chapter describes this boy in an aquarium who can’t seem to focus on anything but the ceiling, and hanging from the ceiling is this huge thing. Perplexed by this thing, a giant corn cob on the roof, he goes to find out what it is, and it turns out to be a whale penis. It was so queer to him that this thing could be a penis because it is nothing similar to his penis, but it inspires him.

I have been inspired by the whale penis, so I went online to look up, “Whale Penis,” which turned into one of the stupidest things I have done in my life. Most results came back as the dialogue of a creepy porno wherein a marine biologist is whale watching and comes upon a naked man, calling him “The Humpback whale.” I’m sure the rest of the film can be conceived by yourself (I don’t see how this film didn’t win the porno equivalent to an Oscar). So now I am obsessed with the reproductive anatomy of large mammals.

So, other things in my life… I received a Nerf Gun for Christmas from my sister and I just recently pulled it out to play. Shooting my naked roommate and Tyra Banks on the television were just some of the things I went to town on. Well, my roomie D. put up a picture of Jesus in out apartment and I felt the urge to shoot at Jesus but the picture has been protected by some holier force. I have shot at it numerous times and each time, the bullets just go around Jesus. And if I did hit him where he is clothed, u can see it would hit a place where his body is not. So I have given the challenge to shoot Jesus to my roomies and nobody is successful. This is some otherworldly force.
