First off, I was eating popcorn the other day. I was trying to savor it, trying to enjoy it. And I couldn't. It went away too fast, I had to keep putting more and more just to get a sustained taste of butter and salt. Then my mind said... Wait a minute, this is kinda like materialism. It's short lasting, and you have to keep having more and more. And more. And then some more. And when the bag runs out, you're depressed, cause then you lose that taste. So, then I thought, maybe spirituality is like an apple. You bite into it, and you can savor it, the juice goes all over, and you can sit there for a while, just contemplating that bite of apple. And, when you contemplated it enough, you just swallow and take another bite. And when you're finished, you're happy, because you just had a really good apple. How many times have you finished a bag of popcorn and thought, "That was good and refreshing and satisfying"?
Onto another tangent. I just got a new kitten. It's kinda cute, it was running around outside (It seems to be born wild). Using a fishing pole and treats, I've managed to keep it in the house for a day. But the weirdest thing is... it's just like the cat we already have, but in kitten form. It's black, it's fur is kinda bushy, it looks and acts just like it!!! (Maybe my cat isn't a neutered male?) I don't have a picture, though. It hides a lot.
And now chem-trails. Today and tomorrow and the day after are supposed to be completely sunny and clear. Not. It was bright and clear this morning, with a wonderful blue sky. By the end of the day, there was a bunch of ratty looking man-made clouds. The western horizon had a big foggy cloud sitting there. It kinda frustrates me. I've never seen the planes that spray it quite clearly. Has anyone else?
Logic. It seems so odd. It looks like it seems flawed sometimes, isn't it? That's because all logic assumes. Logic is rather arrogant. It thinks it knows something it doesn't. The truth is, I think, that we know nothing. If so, then you can not assume something, because everything's just made up in that case! Therefore, logic must be a flawed system of reasoning. We must either find something that we know, or drop the system altogether and find a new one. (Nice how I used logic on that one, ah?)
And finally, death. What is the root of all fears? Or wants, maybe. Let's take health.
Why do you want to be healthy?
So you'll live as long as possible.
Well, why do you want to live as long as possible, average person?
So I don't die. Cause I hate dyin', I'ze afraid of its.
Well, stop fearing dying and you won't be so worried about your health! Health is just concerned about keeping you alive, and it can be rather draining, wouldn't you agree?
Wow, you smart, Mr Guy. Mabie death ain't so bad at all. Wut bout money?
Well, money, as far as I can see, is something that originated out of a desire to immortalize one self with things. (then we get into the discussion of materialism all over again.) And fame, power, greed, even the nice things like charity, are just ways to immortalize yourself, even if only to yourself. Then, you are susceptible to control, by other people who want to be immortalized. The thing is, they don't realize, they are immortal!!! They live on forever as souls or spirits or the Divine consciousness or whatever you want to call it. Blindness, ignorance, then, is the root of all "evil" on this world!
Whoa, Mr. Guy, you just blew my mind. ...But then, Mr. Guy, maybie thers a purpose to all a' this?
I think (remember that) that yes there is a reason, we wanted to see what it was like to be blind, or deaf. Haven't you ever thought that? Especially if you've been sitting around in an eternity. So you decide, hey lets be blind, see what it's like. Just fun and games, really. Life is a big joke, a big "what if."
Man, you think a lot Mr. Guy.
Well, if you've been sitting around forever, it comes to you eventually.
OK, yay, I rambled. I got all the ramble out of my system. Whew, I was gonna pop and ramble all over the place, and hurt innocent people. Ramble-debris bruising innocent ideologies. Changing innocent lives. Good thing I did it here, where it wouldn't hurt no one.
[Insert intriguing ending here]

I'm the mood for some Led Zeppelin now.
Ramble on!
