THINKING

About an hour ago i thought

"I don't even care about my own thoughts anymore."

Then I thought, "Why am I still thinking?"

I'm sure where I stand anymore concerning thinking

I used to be convinced I was very original and had something to say

I have said many things

When I am at Red Lobster holding a broom I feel like I am not convinced anymore

When i'm in class and the professor talks about similes and I can't spot in the turtle poem he told us to read

I don't even feel terrified

I do feel really confident at this moment

Wonder if that is because I'm not thinking anymore

Maybe it is better to be empirical

There is no thinking

Make an experiment

do the experiment

write it down

answers

I don't know why anyone would have an epiphany

because it is 'fun'

I want to create my own language

with its own grammar and punctuation

I don't want to concern myself

with making sense

and supplying information

I want to communicate other things

that don't have anything to do

with information

I wonder if I can do that

I still have to use words though

This is important

the use of english

and maybe some spanish

but i don't want to communicate anymore

I must want

to communicate

or i wouldn't have a blog

why i don't just communicate to people i know

i want to do other things with them

like drink beer and hold hands

and talk shit

the call center worker who just pestered me for a solid hour to upgrade my cell phone plan from 900 minutes per month to unlimited was from Warren, Ohio.

Her name was Kim, but I gave into her (and upgraded from 900 minutes at $60 per month to Unlimited minutes at $70 per month) because I imagined you knew her, Noah.

She seemed like a cool chick, despite the fact that all I was to her was extra commission in her paycheck...

If the fact that I upgraded, very much against my better judgement, solely on the basis that the saleswoman who was pushing Unlimited minutes on me was from your hometown doesn't mean anything to you, then I misunderstood you completely...

I thought your big deal was the human connection--transceding all bullshit to understand each other and do real human business with each other--that's the Noah Ciceronian way.

But, on the flipside, if you think that it's cool that I decided to give $10 more dollars per month to Version purely on the basis of Kim possibly knowing you, even at some 40 removes, then, yeah, you are a good dude.

See what I mean?
