the shadow wall

scattered youth assemble

ricochet

i had a dream almost exactly a year ago that has entirely changed the way i think. before, i thought in words--i was trying at least. i figured it was the way i was supposed to think (whatever that means), but, clearly, that wasn't the case. i think in pictures...scene like things. they're all 3D and they all sort of rotate in my head so i see all kinds of perspectives. kinda like pausing a dream and taking a look at it, except its reality. im not really sure how else to describe it. maybe you know what i'm talking about anyways.

more importantly, though, i really want that dream to come true right about now.

imagine this:
you're looking inside your head, it's just space--totally hollow. kinda looks like the inside of a rotting tree or something, but in the shape of your skull. and then theres a rectangular web, that reaches across the widest part of your head, like right above your ears...around your temples. its catching these things that look like...i dont really know if they look like anything, i guess. but they are ideas. all the ideas are in constant motion and they ricochet off your skull, some getting caught in the web, your brain. thats what's currently on your mind--somes probably good, somes probably bad. just like in real life. one end of the web sticks out of you're head, though. so you have the power to slide it out and shake it off whenever you want. the catch is that you take the risk of losing the good along with the bad or even just the good.

i kinda want to shake it off right about now any how. it's a bit crowded.

fast

so much turns into so little when you cant control the speed

foggy glasses

the best part is when i blow on the hot tea and steam fogs my glasses, just a second minus sight.

joyful noises

looking at the book reminds me of mr gutnik--what a great man.
flipping through pages, i hear bethany's voice smoothly making it through each line, david's having some trouble, and rory has given up--its clear with the wonderful sound of her laughter.
lets have some more sleeping bag wars.

Empty and Awake

"You're mind makes out the orange by seeing it, hearing it, touching it, smelling it, tasting it and thinking about it but without this mind, you call it, the orange would not be seen or heard or smelled or tasted or even mentally noticed, its actually, that orange, depending on your mind to exist. By itself it's a no-thing, it's really mental, it's seen only of your mind. In other words, it's empty and awake." -Jack Kerouac, Dharma Bums
