The long shadow hour

All Together Now by weaverbird

I’M a little bit self-fed up with MY self-centered ways.

In other news, x is the new y.

Here’s to Christopher Columbus for being exactly wrong enough about geography to go out and do something cool like find something he wasn’t expecting. Ignorance may be rewarded with bliss, but this is only a good thing because it means you get to learn things and discover things. Ignorance is only good inasmuch as it provides a passive relative background against which to contrast the brilliance of the active intake of information and subsequent reflection. It’s good like thirst is good because it makes water all the better when we do get it. It’s good like doing work is good because it’s the thing that makes time off feel so good. It’s good like time off is good because it’s the unproductive period that makes the productive period seem so valuable. It’s good because it has a counterbalance, it’s good because it’s not ALL THE TIME, or at least it shouldn’t be all the time. It’s good because different is good, good because a 4D spectrum would be most accurate for expressing human things, or just things (or the things that weren’t human that become human simply because we’re thinking about it and changing it with our thinking) and ignorance is by necessity on that 4D spectrum because it is every aspect of everything that must be considered when considering the world abstracted.

This is not over your head. If you don’t understand this, it’s because it’s beside your head.

“The gestures of our guest”

I woke up this morning at some point during a very frightening and realistic dream. There had been a tremendous sound and a flash of sick light that touched everything. An atomic bomb had gone off in Florida, leaving us in the midst of nuclear fallout and sheer terror.

Please let us learn to tame our fear.

Feeling one’s way back home

tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT?

I like anything that extends my cognition past my brain and into my physical surroundings. So, notebooks, iPad, alarm clocks, sticky notes, calculators, iPhone, etc.
