Doot Doot Doo!

Sleep is the one time when I think during the day. Not actual sleep, but the part right before it. I'll lie down and not be tired, but think, "I should really get some sleep so I'm rested in the morning." That's the cue for my brain to turn on and start thinking about a billion things at once. They're not entirely important ideas--just things like, well...this is an example of what I think about as I'm trying to go to sleep: Fighting is the ultimate competitions as it pits one being against another. All people have the competitive urge inside them to some degree as related to the amount of how much testosterone versus estrogen they have. Time traveling ninjas are cool. We already know everything about this world we'll ever know. When we read or hear something "new" to us, it is merely our mind agreeing with information. I guess this speaks conceptually only. Minor details, specifics of current events; these things are insignificant by comparison to concepts such as advice one might give, but more along the lines of things comedians like to point out. It's true and funny, but we know it already. He's just restating it in a funny manner. I believe comedians are funny because they see the world in a different way than us. Two men(or women, for you sexists out there) can see the same thing happen, but the comedian will tell a far funnier story because he sees it differently. We are already who we are, and when someone comments ten years later how different we've become, it's merely us showing a different phase of ourselves. Our mind will undergo phases like a rotating door; depending on how it is turned, that is how your personality will be throughout your life. Some doors turn more slowly than others, of course. Our minds want to experience lots of different characters and events and by changing it can experience them in a more complete way. Writing is a good occupation in my opinion. Many jobs people have are quit because they feel trapped as they do the same thing day after day. Job changes occur because people want to experience something new. When they don't occur, it is because financially and romantically they are secure and don't wish to ruin it because of some qualms about leading a boring life. With writing, you can stretch the imagination to its fullest extent and experieince the full spectrum of life by creating it on paper. Actors get to act in various movies is they're good enough, so they get the diversified feelings and lifestyles their characters feel in their many situations. As a writer, you're given or can create those same multitudinous experiences, situtuations, feelings, environments, characters--everything. Writing and performing music is another great profession as it gives people something to think about. A song may be played repeatedly on a daily basis on MTV and the radio, but any given person will only hear it X number of times through that medium. If they're like me, however, that song will come back to their mind whenever the mood or situation strikes them. It gives them peace of mind, or a sense of coolness or happiness; anything they want, at a price of nothing once their mind has learned the song. Songs, lyrics, tunes, beats, solos; these pop into my head every day for no particular reason I can fathom, but everything my head plays for me I have heard at some point. So just because the song is off the air, a movie hasn't been seen in years and a book hasn't been read since high school, doesn't mean it won't affect their life after that. It is the series of events a person witnesses that change their life's path by minute increments. My argument is that, on an extreme scale, if everyone witnessed the exact same experiences every day, they would be far less different. Make their minds and physical bodies genetically the same, and you've taken away all things that make people witness the same event in a different manner and thus, people would agree on everything. Agreeing on everything would create a world of complete boredom, so people would still claim they disagree to appear different and strike up attention from others for the world is nothing without difference of opinion. That person would carry out their claim to their best ability to the extent that they believe it themselves and thus become different. This clearly goes along with the theory of entropy, that the universe tends towards disorder, for even when everything starts the same, it will mutate towards chaos. God, if there is one, has been around far too long to be content watching the same TV reruns. He wants drama and change so he doesn't get bored. I am bored, not tired, and I'm thinking things I already know. People like getting retold information though ("tell that story again!") even if they know it. Telling people things they already know won't bother them. They will be intrigued and if they think, "I already knew that" they will only feel smarter and continue to read. You don't have to tell them new things to keep their attention. Typing is dial-up while thinking is cable. A machine that can put thoughts on paper takes away the hand that is the resistance in the copper wire, resisting the flow of electrons from point A to point B. It sure would be great to have one of those, and I believe it is possible to read brainwaves to the exact point of what words are being said. All you need is the right converter, no?
Of course, my mind thinks of things far faster than this, but the ideas are there, those that I can remember and type in time before I move on to the next one. I don't really know what I'm doing, but I guess one might call it reflecting? Reflecting is rather pointless in my opinion(or is it?). Confucious didn't get wise by sitting on a hill and thinking for a period of years(or did he?). I think wisdom comes from interacting with people: that is how you learn the most. Meditating and such reflection only makes something you already know more apparent as it is phrased in a different way. Hmm...I wonder if anyone reading this is amused by my ramblings or if I've completely bored you. Regardless, you've read this far, so you must be intrigued. A cow stapled to a wall is a strange thought. I'm kind of curious if anyone else thinks of things such as this or if I'm just crazy. What do other people think about?? This is something I would actually like to know so comment on this post, anonymously if you wish, or IM me, or just tell me what you think about something, like whether I'm completely boring you and crazy, or if this is interesting to think about, something! I'm runnin' on thin air here. Despite this request, I somehow doubt anyone will respond. Is it out of fear that I'll know you're reading this? Probably. Rest assured, I already know who you are. There is no escape. I have many visitors to this site and especially if you labeled your computer name with your name, I know who you are. That's right--Casey knows who you are. Oh and comments like, "you need some psychiatric help," are pointless as I already know this, but you can tell me if you like. I think I'm crazy right now, so I may just end up deleting this post when I read it later and decide it's a complete ramble of crap. Techno tickles the brain. I should probably get more sleep than I get. If I did, I would probably think more logically, less non-logically, more coherently, less sporadically--things of that nature. Oh boy, Josh just decided to go to sleep! That means no more music and thus my desire to write goes out the window. I will only write if I have some good music and I've been cut-off. I'm afraid my RD is going to send me to the crazy-house. Oh well, I had a good run.
