What do you do with your thoughts?
Whilst entering into “advance beginner” level (a level system of my own) of juggling in the garden, listening to Squarepusher’s song with lyrics “A Real Woman” off his new album “Just A Souvenir” I had a thought about thoughts. What do you do with your, for want of a better word “stray” thoughts. I’m sure some of them you tether in and indulge in them for a while, maybe some aggravate you, old tired thoughts. I’m sure some of the repeating thoughts lose or gain intensity, altering your path in life. And I know that some thoughts turn sour and make life grow hard and unpleasant, but these change given the chance. I often find myself on a train of thought that I feel I would like to share in the hope of the simple pleasure of sharing an experience with somebody, sometimes this fails to connect and it gives me a feeling of distance. I have shared this train of thought here in the hope that anyone else with a stray thought, about anything, anything at all, will release it for everyone else to see (I hardly think you can claim to own a thought, if you are like me you don’t really know where they come from!), and I would like to hear it. Because at the very least it will let me see what somebody else is thinking of and maybe I can relate to it, and at the most it could turn into an interesting conversation (and also that people actually read this), If you do one thing with your first stray thought after reading this, type it down in the box down there (after you push ‘more’). And I will start it off by typing down the first thing that comes into my head after posting this.
Here is a the song that influenced this post, there’s nothing to see so don’t go anticipating anything, its just the song.
And here are the lyrics.
you are a member of society
you are a member of reality
do you think it’s time that you are called upon
do you think it’s time that you are seen to be you
you are real
you exist
you are sane
you’re alive
you are here
you are fine
you are you
because you’re real
you think a lot about the world today
you think a lot about what to say
everything you say, it should be listened to
everything you say, well, it should be understood
you are real
you exist
you are sane
you’re alive
you are dreaming
you’re a person
you are happy
because you’re real
please show me what it’s like to be real
please show me what it’s like to be you
everything that is including me
that’s how it is in reality
everything that is including you
that’s how it is in reality
you have an edge of satisfaction
you have an air of satisfaction
i want you to tell me that it’s what i love
i want you to tell me that i’m significant
you are real
you have feelings
you are modern
you have feelings
you are perfect
you have feelings
you’re really real
you have feelings
you are real
you exist
you are sane
you’re alive
you’re impressive
you’re important
you’re smoking
because you’re real
I was just listening to my whole Beatles collection on random and a track from yellow submarine came in, I was kinda disappointed as I feel that a lot of songs from movies (of course i’m not saying all!) are so geared towards conducting the emotion of a movie, that they fail to stir up anything thought provoking and fun in my mind than other songs.
Sharing a thought, easy.
All i can think atm is “It’s snowing”
Not very clever I know
Lot’s of sludge and ice over here atm ste.
all I can think now is ‘what am I thinking about’, stray thoughts are those that come into your mind in the dead of night when you are trying to get back to sleep. too busy during the day to have stray thoughts, those thoughts are motivated by by visual or mental happenings. You do not say which track from yellow submarine, I like the title track, all my friends aboard surrounded by a yellow submarine sailing in a green sea below a blue sky protected from the mad and crazy world around us. Sounds like paradise.
The track from yellow submarine was “Sea of Monsters” totally instrumental. For some time now I have been encouraging all my stray thoughts, letting my mind play like a child. If im on the internet I often find hours disappearing whilst I read about things like the oldest tree in the world, to the history of world banking, to the latest news in the computer game world.
And John, don’t give up! Keep this page in mind if you can, and write down anything that comes along! A lot of mind time for me lately has been taken up with the Israel/Gaza polava, any thoughts on that hunk of meat?
I have changed my mind about the submarine, after a while it could send you crazy being confined in a small space. talking of which there was a man who lived all alone for three months after which time he became deranged so he switched off the light, locked the door behind him and was never seen again. Trouble was that his actions resulted in 93 people dying. now that is a puzzler, a bit like the Gaza business, the iron fist rules but what happens when the fist becomes a cotton glove.
check out this nice video :http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uuGaqLT-gO4
I cant decide if it’s time lapse or cgi or both, what u think?
dunno on the Gaza business, if an Iron Fist becomes a Cotton glove, then I guess it would get ripped off. Seems very onesided…..
“goddamn the neckless
and a polar bear”
trying to find hidden
connetations.
i’m making a painting at the moment. i enjoy it very much, when i’m painting i don’t seem to have random thoughts, i’m just lost in the dreamy world of colours and feeling like a little goddess as i create and make everything be how i want it to be.
I think you should take a picture of your picture then i can put it on my site, im sure people will want to see it!
My stray thought was I wonder what the rice I have just eaten will turn into in my stomach whilst i sleep, is it harder for your body to mulch things up when you are horizontal? Weird…. I also just thought that I’d really like to tidy my front room up before i go to bed and I feel kind of guilty for leaving it in its current state (not that untidy i suppose) but since having my own place I feel i ‘owe’ it to the falt to keep it looking nice….hmmmmm
I like this trail…i might steal this for a facebook note if you dont mind. x
