so now that its been two months, a week, and two days since my last post, i've decided to return..the whole sweet-i'm-gunna-blog-a-whole-bunch-and-talk-about-every-detail-of-my-life phase is officially over. or, has been for two months, a week and two days. i guess i could have blogged more. noteworthy things have happened. i guess i just didn't feel the need, desire, or freedom from time contraints to blog. or maybe i forgot about it. thats a distinct possibility.
so that whole paragraph was me pretending the whole world missed me and is glad i'm back as i come riding in here on my white steed. not a horse; a steed. but i figured i should talk myself up a little so i regain the interest of the faithful who check this thing daily to dissect my brainwaves. being as there are none, do i blog in vain? whats the point of writing if no one reads it? if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it still make a sound? if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, can the tree hear itself? if a deaf tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does the tree hear itself? better and more useful question; to quote my friend Trevor Boon, "if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, who cares?" well, if a tree falls in the woods and no one's around, big deal, right? but if a tree falls and triggers another tree to fall, and the chain continues, we have what Mr. Hospers would call the "domino effect." with all these trees falling, eventually someone will take notice. (then tell the logging company. who will get all their lumberjacks. who will be happy because all the trees are down already. so they have a head start. so they can take them to the mill and build something constructive with them).that is my logic. that is why i've decided to keep writing.
that is not why i write. i just made that up. but its pretty convincing, so i'm going with it. even if no one notices the forest's demise for a few years.
i hope you caught that already, but if that made no sense, it was a metaphor(really..i never woulda guessed). my thoughts/blogs are the trees that are falling. the person who notices is the person who reads it. the logging company is the people who discover this later on. the head start is people's minds being stimulated by this. the constructive objects that are constructed are people's thoughts.
wow. that was not worth it. you should have stopped me as soon as i started on that.
so i have literally said nothing. i'm sorry that wasn't worth your time. but i think i'll return and make good on my plans to keep the trees a-fallin'.
except hopefully next time they'll be like friggin cedars and red sequoias or something.that you can build palaces out of and stuff. not dying saplings that hardly even make good firewood. but the fire does keep you warm for a little bit. enough with the metaphors. adios
