The sounds of silence

it's so sweet to put on music and listen to the space listening to the music... silence loves music, you know

Distractions from distractions

before you get to thinking anything is real, you should take off your clothes and see if anyone laughs… if you hear silence, then nobody is paying any attention, so why bother, the illusion is nothing if not shared… the real is the moment you touch it, make it a shared experience, and invest yourself in the promise that is a connection… everything else is just background noise, distractions from the distractions of life…

Memories

memories are the background noise of the mind, the distractions that play from within like the TV you aren't really listening to, but never seems to go off ...

Simpsonian Philosophy

contrary to the simpsonian philosophy, there does reach a point where a body can consume too many donuts... this warning has been brought to you by the pillsbury doughboy...

Time

i wonder what you are doing... are you ok, sad, happy, sick, well, high, low... wishing you would tell... only time will tell?... yes, we can say that, but in truth, it is not time, it is you who will tell if and when you choose to... if it happens, it will happen in time, so we attribute it to time in this sense, but it is you... for time does not know you as well as you know you, even if time had a consciousness and could actually type words for you... are your days filled with laughter or tears or both or neither?... and why, the ultimate question for me, why are you feeling as you feel, why are you doing what you do, why are you here, there, wherever you are...

Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping ...

but we never actually get to the future, do we?... tomorrow is always the day after today, I mean, when tomorrow is supposed to get here, it's today again... so is tomorrow always late?... is living for tomorrow being in the state of constant lateness, living in an illusion that something that never actually arrives will somehow come along on some imaginary timeline and change things or even make everything better?... is that what waiting for heaven is all about?... is after-life the same as tomorrow?...

Time munchers

I was and am now again referring to the time-munchers... now you may have heard them called gremlins or time-bandits or even paleotemporal delineators, but I happen to know they are time-munchers cuz even though they are usually invisible to the naked eye, I've seen them...

what are time-munchers, you might ask... well, isn't the name self-explanatory?... I suppose not, if you are asking... it's the disappearance of time, have you not noticed?... are you not experienced in the phenomenon of looking at the clock and wondering where the times has gone?...

... recovery is possible if you know how to deal with the munchers, but don't tell them that because the key to recovering time is not letting them know you are getting it back from them... there is the negotiation method where you promise the time-munchers a large chunk of time in the future for the time they munched in the recent past, but that only works if the particular time-munchers munching your time have poor long term memories and generally time-munchers have singular memories, that is, they remember everything because they maintain all memory in a single memory cell, not that they are completely corporal beings, but there is much to be discovered about the true nature and composition of time-munchers and this entry was not to be about them anyway...

... delightful!

shifting

Shifting focus heightens clarity, but first you must want your perspective to change.

The Funda

... and humans seem to like to hold on to their perspectives with white-knuckled fists, choking the life, the humanity out of the perspective before long ... and change? (shall we all "guffaw" together?) Even humans write books (Who moved my Cheese ... for one) about humanity's unwillingness, fear and reluctance to change ...

... and humans seem to really like talking about "keeping focused" ... "not losing focus" ... "staying focused" ... which leads to set perspectives and perpetual stasis ... which lessens clarity ... dulls the vision, blurs the borders, edges ... diminishes the focus ...

... hmmm ... talk about convoluted ... so next time someone tells me to "stay focused" ... I'll have to remember that what they're really asking is for me to lose focus and blur the lines ... according to my definition anyway.

eternity with you

All there is to be, all there is to share is a moment, yet I seek an eternity to share with you. It is not permanence I seek, but rather someone with who to share the impermanence. While it may appear incongruous to some logic, it is as simple as this: We can achieve this by sharing the moment as the eternity it is...
The Funda

what can I say? ... sometimes comments just detract from the original beauty.

almost could haves what ifs

... nothing new about this perspective ... I tend to play with this thought (or something quite like it) when I'm bored or just before I go to bed (lends itself well for great fiction, flights of fancy and fantastical dreams) ... BUT ... this is definitely the best arrangement of words I've yet to see to describe the thought, the perspective ...

... very Suessical

Plans

plans can be made... plans can be laid... they can be the best plans... laid by the best of men... they can even be laid by mice... but plans may be for fools...
... but the mice failed us and those best laid plans, well, they were mislaid... perhaps we should have left it for the women to have laid them, but who knew... next time, I see if I can get my plan laid by a woman...

When your shoes are too full ...

I sometimes have so much to say, I don't say anything because the words trip over themselves...

Stupidity on Two Legs

but anyway, I am so full of it... so much stupidity on two legs... if I sat on a broom I'd be jerk on a stick... if I could fly I'd be the only flying dodo bird left alive... if I was a fish I'd probably forget I could breath under water and drown...

I'm sure we could think up more of these ...

Definitions

I just had a glimmer, almost a shimmer... a glimmer, for those of you wondering, is a sliver of a revelation, a glint of epiphany, a moment of potentially profound thought that inspires a smile mostly because it does not require much more exploration at the moment... a shimmer, on the other hand, would have some more tentative possibilties and be scary-exciting, kind of like will the roller coaster car fly off the track this time? or like a crack in the wall between understanding everything and not (with the shimmer being the light that shines through to the not side, where we are)...
2004-05-10

... definitions ... but what about a glint and a shard or a glisten ....

'ants ...

like, why do you think they are called Protestants?... let's see... contestants participate in contests... protestants participate in... take your time... protests, right?... I mean, duuuh)...

Feeding Vampires
