What's In a Blog?

If you can guess where that is from... or what that refers to, 100 points for you. 100 points of love!

I was asked for the purpose of this blog. And to be honest, I don't really know what the purpose is. I just need a constant in my life, and I think this may be one of them. It's a nice place to write things out. And because I know this is public, I'm forced to write them in a coherent, eloquent manner assuming that the other party (aka the reader) doesn't know what I'm talking about. It's a fun challenge, especially for someone like me who tends to be more eloquent on paper/computer screen, then in person. So the purpose of this blog is to write down whatever I feel like that is not too intimate that it needs to be put in a personal journal, and also have some sort of summer project/constant where I can 'share' things with people. That's legit, I think.

Also, here's something that I pooped out of my conscious today.

A random ramble: i believe that your soul keeps living after you die. now some would say that your soul is 'reborn' when a new being (i'm assuming human, well that's what we assume, but i don't see why we can't be reborn as a zebra or alpaca) is born on earth, basically you're moving from one body to another. some might call it reincarnation. but that's different from reincarnation... or is it? In reincarnation, you might feel that you are a reincarnation of someone, but there's no way of knowing. well some people claim that they do, but if you don't remember your past life, then how do you prove that the soul that is in the "reincarnated" you is the same one as the "past life" you. That's different from your soul moving from one body to another. Like ramtha, who embodied the lady as "ramtha" not, 'ramtha reincarnated into the lady and the lady feeling like she is a reincarnation of him" So then I was thinking, after you die, your soul leaves your body and wanders. But if it doesn't put itself back into another body (or you, in 'soul' form, decide not to) then where do you go? I personally wouldn't want to go to heaven or hell or its abstract equivalents... I think I would want to stay in the "real" world (or the world as we know it). but then maybe when we leave our physical body, we'll see the world differently. If after enlightenment (or awakening... i'm assuming those are two different things, i'll have to figure that one out) you see balls of energy/light. then after you leave your physical self, then perhaps you see/feel the world as balls of energy/light. but then that would mean that you become enlightened after you die. which i don't think everyone does... hm...


The response that came back with this was ginormous, and I need to read it again, but that was it.

Feature of the day:

I danced this way back when, when I was younger, skinnier, and crazier...



peace out, T-town.
