Thoughts from the Lonely Day of December 4th

Today while at our rummage sale at the old house, I was bored, upset, and very self conscious. Out of boredom and the fact that my mind was all too crowded, I took up a pad and paper and started getting my thoughts of the day down. This is the result of my brain-brainstorm.


Thought 1: Strange Coincidences Of My Life…
I’ve noticed over the past couple of years that if I pay attention, chains of events lead to one big picture. For example, throughout the past 2 weeks, I’ve been seeing, smelling, feeling, and experiencing things that remind me of a certain person. Every day, at least once, I run into something that makes me think of said person. Usually when something of this nature happens, something significant happens either to that person, or between me and that person. Today, I experienced about 3 things, and that’s why I started thinking about these coincidences in the first place. I was thinking on it, and started wondering whether others experience things such as this as well? I’ve talked to some friends of mine about it, and none of them have ever seemed to notice patterns such as the ones I described. It’s a strange thing, once you notice it. You begin to wonder over the period of time when you’re experiencing these things what it is that will happen with that person…


Thought 2: Children & Their Tolerance For Snow.
Today while sitting beside the window writing, I watched some children in the neighborhood sled down the side of the hill in their yard, over and over again. It’s just a small hill, maybe 7 or 8 feet. Nonetheless, the kids would walk up to the top, sled down, laugh, walk back up, sled back down, laugh, etc… it made me wonder: how is it that children can stand being out in the snow for so long? Adults go outside and within 30 minutes are more than thrilled to return to the indoors, but children can go outside, stay outside for 5 hours doing the same thing over and over, and then cry when their parents tell them it’s time to come in… Does this mean that children have more tolerance than adults? Or does this simply mean that adults need to loosen a bit and play in the snow for a few hours? Snow angels, anyone?


Thought 3: Writing Down My Thoughts Of The Day…
I don’t usually write down all my thoughts of the day, but since all I have to do today is sit and wait for people to come buy my stuff, I have been. I’ve only written down 2 thoughts, and my mind is already feeling less stressed and more open to new ideas. I think I should do this more often. Hmm. Maybe I will blog about it later o.o


Thought 4: Scared to Death…

Thought 5: That Slightly Mad, Philosophical Thought About Whether Or Why We Exist…
Ever since I was about 6 years old, I’ve wondered whether or not humanity actually exists, and if so, why. When I was about 8, I came up with the theory that maybe we are all just characters in someone else’s novel on the Bestseller’s List. When I was 12 and contemplating the existence of God(s), I wondered if maybe we were all the dreams of dreams in the lonely mind of a slumbering god. Now that I’m 18, I wonder both of these things, and many more. If we are the creations of some traveling bard, do we really have memories, or simply chapters? If we are in the dreams of gods, is nothing truly impossible? I’ve found in the past that when I do start thinking about these things, my mind gets very fuzzy, foggy, dim…


Thought 6: Spore.
Mom and I went to Goodwill after the sale to donate the remaining books and VHS tapes from said sale. We decided to look around for a while, looking for a specific movie that we’ve both been wanting to re-watch. Instead of finding Smoke Signals, we found a game that we have both been wanting to play since its release in 2008, Spore. Spore is a game in which you create your own universe, starting with a single cell and ending with entire civilizations. Why this amazing game ended up at the Janesville Wisconsin Goodwill for $3.99 is beyond me, and I couldn’t really care less because I now own it. One thing I want to mention about this game is the amazing artwork on the covers and in the manual. I mean WOW. If the game graphics are actually this good, I am thrilled. Another thing I was hoping to mention in this blog was how this game fits into thoughts 1 and 5. It fits into thought 5 because it’s another one of those things I’ve always wondered about humanity. Maybe we’re just video game characters. Or maybe I belong in a loony bin :P but I mean how do we know? Anyway… It fits with thought 1 because I had been thinking about the existence and origin of a civilization earlier in the day, and found myself looking at Spore later in the day. Coincidences *sigh*. I am very much looking forward to this game however, and will be blogging about it once I get around to playing.


Side notes of the day:
1. Lyrics to “Believe” by Hanson
2. That little ink/pencil mark on the side of your hand from writing all day: Writers Blotch.
3. Who IS Katherine Wheel, and why is Ville Valo burning for her?


Thought 7: End Of Today’s Blog…
Wow… looking at all my thoughts together in one place makes me realize… I think *way* too much, lol. But the things that come out of my mind and onto paper/a Word document are pretty interesting and thought-provoking… if you’re anything like me, that is. If not, you probably just think I need to be put away :P Anyway, I will be signing off of BlogSpot for the remainder of the night. I’ll leave you with a quote from The Doctor…



“1979! Hell of a year! China invaded Vietnam. The Muppet Movie. I love that film. Margaret Thatcher. Ugh. Skylab fell to Earth with a little help from me. Nearly took off my thumb. And I love my thumb. I need my thumb. I'm very attached to— *sees the armed men on horseback*¬— my thumb. 1879. Slight difference.”
