Weekly Thought!

If you're new to this.

Check this out first!

Well I was wrestling with a topic and my brain refused to come up with something strange, witty, or terribly thought provoking. So I booted up iTunes and the first song to pop up at random was by Collective Soul. Thus the title of this Song is the topic

Where The River Flows

Now Go! write and make me think Muwahahaha!!!

RAMming Speed!!!

Random Access Memory

One of the 'defining' Qualities of a computer. its read and write in no specific order which allows programs to put down little bits they will need to access later. The more RAM you have the more programs you can run without significant slowdown of your machine. And I need lots more RAM but not necessarily for my computer (though more would be really nice).

No I want more RAM for my brain. See if I had more RAM I could delegate certain things to that rather than trying to write it all to my harddrive which sometimes feels rather overloaded. It could also be useful for storing certain ahhh imagry that inconsiderate friends may insert into your brain. Hey it's just RAM it'll get written over or dumped quickly. That... that would be a handy feature indeed I think. Instead right now they just burn into my brain in a permanent nature. Why can't the good things. The things I need to remember get etched so vividly into my head? Must be the shock value.

What about other computer functions? Would my brain work faster if I could defragment my memory? Clean up memory? Though I suppose the differences between a computer and my brain can be relieving. I don't want to try to install the *$%@#-*$#%#@ ing drivers for any new skill I learn. And having a firewall in my head just sounds plain uncomfortable if you ask me. In any case I'm running out of material So here is where it ends.

Brand new Topic

If you don't know what's going on. Go to

A Proposal for ALL

And now the topic. You can all thank The Mad Monk for this. (also know as Watch the wind)

BLECKH, must have more RAM!

That is a direct quote so yeah.. lets see what you guys come up with.

Curtain call

Sometimes things just have to end. Curtains falling show is over and its time to move on. The real trick is to know when that time is. I've been accused of bating a dead horse. I've looked back on my life and I can see times where I should have left well enough alone. But hindsight is 20-20, perhaps even better. So one must ask oneself...

How can I learn to detect that curtain so I'm not caught in front of it when it falls and keep myself from making a total ass of myself?

There's no real answer to that I think. Experience is the only true teacher in an arena of life and I guess I'm just a really slow learner. I sometimes can sort of sense it. Take my bow and head off to await the next 'show'. But did I really catch it on time.. perhaps just a bit longer and the 'show' could have been fantastic. What ifs, coulda beens, and possibilities plaugue the mind and you begin to doubt your own thoughts even.

Fear is a huge motivator in the everday lives of people. We fear what will happen if we don't work, get a paycheck, or create our own future. It cripples and motivates people all at once pushing them to do things and keeping them from attempting others. Its good and bad all in one. So we live.. we cope with it in all its forms. Perhaps its not even recognizable as fear in some of its forms. It turns into duty and responsibility for some people.

I don't know anymore and I'm ramblings.... so here shall be the end.

The Final Curtain Call

As usual this is open to any and all. Post a link in the comment section when you write!

turn turn turn

Well I sit down to write a post on my topic having a few thoughts bouncing in my head and I only see one response to my topic. A response from a person with whom I've never had an actual conversation with. While that in itself fills me with.. hmmm joy.. no that's not right... ah! satisfaction. Yes it gives me some satisfaction. I see the empty responses I'd hoped from others. Hoped perhaps more than I should. I know everyone has busy lives and sometimes the muse just doesn't strike(Especially when the topic is as.. odd as this). So now I feel like a turn of the screw has been made on this little project.

Nevertheless I shall continue on with my words and my offer for people to join in on this merry little ride. So... to the topic... A screw. What is it? It is a device once used to pull water from areas of digging in an ingenous way that Archimedes invented. It is a small piece of metal which firmly holds two seperate pieces of whatever together. It is also a word used as a vulgarity. It's a noun and a verb and dependent on how you end it a descriptor as well. What an odd language english truly is. I won't go on about that... George Carlin did that bit to death I think.

I am often without a powerdrill so when I'm faced with having to use a screw to screw something in. I find I may be screwed depending on how screwy the design of whatever screwed up thing I'm putting together. See.. see!

This post did not at all come out how I envisioned. Ah well thats kinda the point of this exercise. Anyhow Adieu until next time fair readers.

Third topic.. something a little more off the wall this time

"The Turning of the Screw"

Alright lets see what you folks come up with here.

Family or Strangers

Well its Friday and I haven't posted yet. So its my turn to explore my mind once again. My family is something I have to consider long and hard about on occaision. I love my parents and my two sisters of course. And we get along well. It's strange though... I'm not even sure I should put this in a public place but... Well I dislike not being totally honest when I write... Sometimes I feel like there should be more of a bond between me and them but its not there... And I know its not thier fault. There's something wrong with me. But alot of times I'm not sure I feel the same emotional range as other people and it scares me. Regardless though that's my immediate blood family... past that... The peopel of my relation often times seem to be more of simple aquaintences than family. My close friends I consider as much family as anyone else. The Mad Monk in particular is a brother to me.


Strangers on the other hand... well I enjoy scaring them or just making them really really confused by my unexplainable and odd behaviors. If they can get past preconcieved notions they may make enough of a leap to befriend me. If not well they can bugger off.. Can't take a joke.. bu-bye... can't see the humor in laughing at your own self... sorry I just gotta get the check please. This perhaps limits my ability to make friends.. But I have realized that Quality trumps quantity and I find myself blessed with those I know.


** Suddenly stands out of his chair and dances to to the swinging tune 'I've got a new Baby' by Squirrel Nut Zippers **

I feel better now. What? oh yeah I just do that... You may or may not get used to it.
