"Sunday, Sunday...bah, BAHHH, bahh ba-bah..."
Or is it Monday? Some days, it's so hard to nail down even a simple circuit of thought. I mean, how hard can it be to reflect on something as it happens? Well...when you've let the discretionary expediter in your head take the day off, pretty tricky, it seems. THoughts and images I've seen mingle with the things that are always brewing to form an aquarium-like mosaic that, upon closer inspection, suddenly change order and direction as if to avoid classification (a LOT like fish, I guess. I should hit the aquarium more often).
I don't see WHY...I'm sure it's nothing THAT profound or important...just half-baked, lazy-day ideas and bits from movies and TV. I like to PRETEND that it's all some massive puzzle begging to be solved. Maybe that's what compels me when I finally do find the outlet or the flow or that "moment". Like one of those things you heard when you were a kid that you've accepted as fact, but lots of things you've learned since seem to indicate it's another big lie. The big ones (like Santa, the Easter Bunny, and all thta money you get after college) tend to pale in significance with time as compered to the smaller, more personal ones (Pop rocks and Coke, Old Man Jenkins' house is haunted TO-THIS-DAY, and there's still a chance to win that big prize from the ATARI 2600 SWORDQUEST series). These are the things that ask, quietly, to be accepted on a handshake deal..."nothing to see here. No need to investigate...you mind your business, and I'll continue exuding blissfully nostalgic childhood ignorance".
Back to the haze...
I'd have to say that, because of the national trend of the 5-day work week, most people are doing just what I'm doing today...taking a non-sleep rest. Letting things happen. THerefore, if I'm to believe that we can all somehow tap into the collective unconscious of the planet, it makes sense that consistent, uniform images and ideas are much harder to nail down today than, say, at 2pm on a Wednesday.
Also, I just realized that the TV has been on all weekend. Pisser...I just shut it off. I feel much better now. Damn echoes...
