Listens: Patti Smith- Everybody wants to Rule the World
It is good to get back into the whole LJ thing. I had forgotten how much that I really enjoyed this. I have been talking about simplifying and slowing things down now for a few years and I really need to do that....or continue doing that I suppose. I feel that things are going on a very comfortable path in my life right now. And I can jump all over the map in one journal entry in the first paragraph.
Nice.
I am quite glad that I haven't lost my ability to jump around stylistically, subjectively, and gramatically in my misanthropic musings, mind oozings.....brain droppings. Ah yes...brian droppings, that is still my favorite. For you my LJ friends it is nothing but the best! The brain poop that falls from the bruised brain of the Zenkrak! Even with his shaken and not stirred brain he still manages to out-think and out-smart many of those about in the world around him. He also likes to type about himself in the third person because often times he feels as if he is watching his life and reporting on it. If not a reporter perhaps more of an author that is toying with his main character just to see what will happen.
So none of this is really real....right? It all just is and isn't at the same time. I am you, you are him, he is that, and that is us.
I have read too much Taoism, Zen Buddhism and enough of about the basic physics of the natural world and universe....or is it not enough. Toss on top of that hundreds of books that were mostly fiction which talk about the nature and struggles and musings of that fabuluous naked ape that calls itself human. But what is human? Like all of the other labels that we use, it is just a word at its most basic level. In our system of naming things it would refer to the bipedal hairless primate that communicates through an audible code that is understod by another hairless ape...hopefully. The trouble begins when non-physical attributes are assigned to something that is a tangible item in this world. When something is referred to as human, that is not to say it is referring to its "humaness". Humaness-what a fucked up idea. We use it usually to say that something/one is good or kind. But when one looks at humanity in general saying something is the human thing to do is actually not good. The human animal is a violent, petty, short sighted and greedy. It also can be generous, kind, caring, brave....humane.
Now i'll get off of my flying mental chariot and finish cooking breakfast. Everything bagel/egg sammiches!! Yummy goodness!!
