Dec 11 2024 11:34-11:35AM The nature of existing is that what you say to me means a lot to me, and im not allowed to say that it does. This is true everywhere but i dont always know that
Hedonism
Dec 11 2024 11:12-11:14AM Idea: it seems like the only reason hedonism can exist is because most people arent hedonists. It exists because a lot, and i mean a lot, of people have their own ideas about how they want to live their lives.
Because an entirely hedonistic society would probably either become very very boring and someone would start a domino effect of moving on from it all, OR, they would all die imediately. Thats what i think
Recuperation
Dec 10 2024 12:43-12:47PM I havent been doing a very good job explaining myself lately. Sometimes i spend a long period of time remaining unexplained. I think im a sine wave or something. I get closer and farther from myself endlessly, and enter periods of misalignment. Right now it doesnt feel good. But thats just how it happens.
Im waiting for January because of this project i want to do all of next year. More like a background project ill do as i go. Still focusing on Monarch.
I want to make a large diagram in order to explain this. But this time i dont want to explain it to other people. I want to explain it to myself. Myself, never understanding. Eventually ill have enough built that ill never forget this.
Ok Man
Dec 7 2024 4:26-4:29PM Least favorite thing is people continuing to tell me things i already know! especially when they dont allow me to say i already know it. its one of those pet peeves i cant shake
Love
Nov 30 2024 1:23-1:25AM Close enough that i might breathe. Close enough that i might hold my breath. Theres going to be some way to do it in about 10 million years, when im back.
Came With
Nov 28 2024 10:55-11:02PM Pitch blackness with an idea. Came with an idea of something that could be true, if you exist. Pitch blackness in the car, and because my phone had died i was forced (at least encouraged) by the universe to identify the beating of the car against the hard ground. I sat back, they sat front. On the way there i had been staring at their faces to play a game of understanding what they might be talking about without hearing them.
At the place, this house goes in a circle. And so i took some steps and i figured the rhythm. I counted 37 from start to finish, 37 steps, 37 from start to finish. Each time it was 37. I counted the lights first, per room it was 12394, then windows per room, it was 44231. The numbers connected at either end: 12394442311239444231.
It may have confused my family with my aimless counting but i continued to step the beat of the house and i even listened to it.
At the fireplace i gently pet the floor and soothed myself.
Now in the pitch blackness with an idea, in the back with them in the front, i saw an arrangement of lights that were attached to the cars, the bustling beasts of this dark night which lit it all up. Angrily. Hoffing and poffing. Hoffing and poffing. Trudging against the beaten path. Against the hard ground. I sort of got the idea, came with an idea that behind each lamppost could exist a picture. This picture could exist, it might not.
But listen to my idea, which is that there could be none; I will pay very close attention to the details of what i encounter, and it will no longer exist despite this effort, and therefore any image could happen to exist, unknown to me; I might have simply not have payed enough attention to it for it to exist in my mind.
Thanksgiving
Nov 28 2024 11:07-11:14AM I wake up with it being nearly impossible to remove myself from the world, in an unusually opposite way to how it tends to be when i wake up
And i was made to focus my ears at the window which told me it was raining gently. It was at perfect temperature in my room and my blankets sat not-too-warmly against me
I felt a thrumming in me. And every few moments i have been hearing the roaring of the planes overhead as if there was some great migration.
Today is Thanksgiving and I go to see distant family at their big house. Its full of dark wood and people are always there. I am very excited. I love that house. I am not looking forward to the food
My family makes Thanksgiving food just fine but none of it has ever interested me. Not a single traditional dish
But here in the blankets with the window dripping honey i am prepared to go hungry.
Very Very Very Always Simple
Nov 25 2024 9:41-9:43AM And yet even still, i long to create it as simply as possible...
Owls
Nov 22 2024 8:39-8:47AM More bird dreams. I just woke up and my room is awful and stuffy. Let me open the window
Alright. It was still raining up here last night. Should help with the drought... somethings off. Anyway,
I tend to have long long dreams that I only really remember one important part directly after I wake up. Then, after a few minutes to hours i might be able to remember the full thing
In this situation i remember these white owls coming down and attacking me. Clawing at me. They went after my left hand and i looked at it covered in scratches.
The rest of the dream was odd and nonlinear as they tend to be... i was at a big house with this kid who was into NFTs and also a lot of family. I recall staring at these incredible plants. I recall looking at the stony wall very very closely to see the moss
And i saw the earth from a distance, and there were factors of existence, with text titles you could drag together to create new ones. I watched Watership Down last night
Many Things To Share Now
Nov 21 2024 3:38-3:42PM Things started happening even before i was awake. Had a dream where right before i woke up i saw these crow feathers outside the building knowing one had just left
And i got a lot of compliments recently things have been going very well in general
But apparently one of my teachers didnt think so. One of them saw a doodle i did apparently
And it mustve been something worrying or one of my angsty characters because they sent a message to the guidance counselor and called me down
Basically i just explained that i have characters i like to give sad stories and it was a bit of an awkward conversation. On a different note someone tried to get me to join his church today so thats... fun
My grades are still good (how?) and im drawing and its RAINING today. What else could happen? I think maybe karma is preparing to let me down easy.
Yesterday Day
Nov 17 2024 10:09-10:16AM I didnt really write about it yesterday because i was so busy but i had a lot of fun. I love my aunts house because its so big and theres always people. And my uncle is there and hes the only person in my local family that seems to have my sense of humor
The object of our visit was to celebrate. It had recently been my birthday and my moms and aunts and my uncles and none of us had come together to celebrate so we did it all in one big bash. We decorated cupcakes
I have to say though my favorite part of visiting is always the drive. Im very familiar with the walls that we pass and the bridges we go under on our route there and back
On the way home i found that the moon was frighteningly full!
Makes sense. The day before it had been a supermoon. But i remember being in the car on the way home and seeing that moon and deciding to stare at it and there was a flash of a rainbow.
I cant explain it! When i saw it i stayed very quiet because it would be of no use to explain it. But in the pitch blackness of both the trees and the starless sky there was a flash of a fuzzy strip of rainbow just below the moon.
And i truly mean flash. It appeared one moment and vanished the next. It mustve been some unusual trick of the light. I know its nothing but it was a little magical for me. In 10 days we go back there for Thanksgiving oriented celebration
Today Im Going
Nov 16 2024 9:17-9:18AM Today we get to visit my aunt! Im really excited. I love her house
Did
Nov 11 2024 4:13-4:14PM Sweeped under my bed! Dusted my books and rearranged them! Reorganized drawers! And my closet! Productive day so far...
K.I.S.S.
Nov 10 2024 5:18-5:20PM Ive been governing myself by the KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID rule for the past few weeks now in terms of my website and its much much more rewarding
Ive also been doing that for my conversations and it improves the experience GREATLY. I am an anxious overthinking bastard and tend to be inable to relax for my own life unless im completely settled or have forgotten something
So being able to just go "keep it simple" has helped greatly. Still get random heart racing periods though
Just In Case You Forgot
Nov 9 2024 6:29-6:33PM Life does not have inherit meaning or purpose.
Also its not supposed to. I see people saying things like, my life has no meaning. No purpose. I shouldnt live. WELL, ACTUALLY, (nerd),
ACTUALLY, thats exactly why you SHOULD live, actually. Sorry. Life is not designed to have some sort of purpose. Otherwise a lot of people would be very unhappy.
I would say its pretty common knowledge that if you get everything you want life is meaningless. EXACTLY. This is the only instance in which life can truly be useless.
Somethings always going to fuck you up. YOU NEED to make meaning. THAT is the hard part. Living isnt difficult. Creating meaning is. Creating a purpose is. And for a while your purpose is going to be to create a purpose. Youll live paradoxically until you either die or succeed.
And no thats not "bleak" thats fucking incredible. I love everything
O
Nov 8 2024 5:48-5:50PM Wow conversations are much easier when you realize its just transmission of information
This will probably sound to some people like im going through something but i actually really like viewing my body as a possession?
Im taking care of it, feeding it. Making it move and stuff. Its not me at all. But its my Thing.
My little jester hahaha dance jester dance MUAHAHAHA
Not helping my case of being normal. Sorry. Its just a comforting thought.
Hmm, Long Run
Nov 8 2024 2:45-2:50PM Happy Friday! When i was a kid i pushed other kids down the slide when they took too long.
Never think about infinity. Itll keep going youll never get anywhere with that guy.
Thats kind of what stars are, thought about infinity too much? Why dont you live in it? Live infinity
So for me maybe its a ritual or a practice
Remember practicing infinity. Because youre not supposed to do that.
Yeah, pretty much. Can you tell i finished 20020?
But,
Nov 7 2024 7:45-7:46PM What about just like, existing forever, like a star would? THATS how you get around to explaining everything.
Stars dont actually burn, theyre not burning anything
Consider that stars really only exist forever. Too many. Thats why theyre alive.
Sorry Guys
Nov 7 2024 7:21-7:35PM Real sorry. One thing ive been trying to do more lately is not delete everything and start over like i always do. But at the same time im also trying to forgive myself for doing that all the time. So lets hit one bird with two stones and start over like i always do, and try not to feel too bad about it.
I read 17776. Dear lord what an incredible story, and i say that as someone who has difficulty engaging when reading.
(Embarrassing for me, i know, considering i used to tear through chapter books.)
Like, okay, according to my brain, who cares how interesting it actually is to me, if its formatted in a way that doesnt agree with me, im not allowed to understand it.
But dialogue heavy content seems to do the trick. Its why i didnt have that much trouble reading The Crucible for school. (Its a play, dingus, of course itll be easy to read.)
It also shows me how a lot of things seem to intersect. I cant write or focus if im watching a show with words or listening to music with words.
Background noise with no words involved is fine but i seem to have auditory processing troubles that lead me to focus on the least important thing imaginable when trying to do something language based. Thats why even though i would love to be listening to music right now, im not. It would frazzle me right up.
But anyway, 17776 is absolutely incredible. Chipping away at the sequel right now.
I dont think i ever understood being a star before an hour or so ago. Like i knew it was a thing, right, like a thing, but never really knew what it was.
Like how a baby bird knows to open its mouth before its ever had a meal. Thats kind of what its like.
I guess it was easier to realize angelicism before being a star. There isnt really a word for it. Angelicism is a good one for angel, but there isnt one for a star. Im not going to explain being a star just yet, but i will eventually.
