Universal mind

Once in my lifetime I'd love to tap into the collective thinking!
How great would it be if everyone's ideas, trends, fears, thoughts, were just there for show...
Would I go crazy, or would I survive the universal mind?

The Ox

"I hope I die before I get old"

Genius...

Culture

Try getting a Japanese guy to say "No"...
Try starting a business in Africa without paying someone off...
Try convincing the French that the wine thing is not theirs any more...
Try explaining intellectual property to a Chinese businessman...
Try telling an American that the world is bigger than the US...

"Culture is the software of the mind"

And don't you ever forget it!!!

Sidewinder slept last night

Went to bed drugged and confused

Dreamt the Creosotic dream

Woke up reading from a different clock

Soldiering through the daily journey

Hope this doesn't go full circuit

"imagines ad nauseum"

Trying to understand

Some thing just don't make sense... no matter how many times I try to figure them out, it's just impossible! It's not like I can just ask...

When you stare at a blank page, all you can do is imagine yourself in the author's shoes and deal with the fact that what you'll read is only the fruit of your ignorance, paranoia, wishful thinking, biases, hindsight and whatnot...



I now believe that knowing this has just ruined my day!

Lost Souls Foreva

Then and there we got it higher than anyone around us
I had found something I wasn't even looking for
It struck me as only lightning can, I guess
Only to find out that destiny had pulled a prank on me
I'm learning how to eat the miles with my thought
hundreds of them, at the time, no good measure is considered

Thoughts cannot be stopped and words cannot be unsaid
We're lost souls forever and that's how it should be...

Memories

I remember basking in the sunshine of my ignorance, washing away the days like they were numbers, that no chemical formula would take...
I remember waiting for dusk with a cheeky "mini" bottle of beer, sitting on top of the world, or as high as dune would allow me to go...
I remember the big talks of the small hours, witty and dramatic, some with tears, some with laughter, some with both, some with more...
I remember the lessons on how to look at the summer's clear night sky, and the way to the faithful bear's tail....
I remember not doing it alone, yet I always felt lonely...
I remember thinking that the sun would always set and one day, I with it...

How many roads?

Well, there's the road taken! Then there's the one with the traffic jam...

Not my fault...

Ears, eardrum, tube and channel
They all fill an important role
I assume they don't feature on your instrument panel.
Either that or you have an obstructed ear hole

So, which is it?

In the mean time, won't you please lay off may friends!

New Order

I can feel a new order of things, creeping up my spinal cord.

Am I bracing myself for the ride, really? Nope, just gonna go with it and enjoy every second!

"We're like crystal,
We break easy;
I'm a poor man,

If you leave me;
I'm applauded,
Then forgotten;
It was Summer,
Now it's Autumn."

(Crystal - New Order)
