Life is real

See, I had my going away party today and after cherades I was just thinking. Thinking about, well I don't really know. I mean, it just occured to me that thought is like the bearest form of any form. And, if metacognition is thinking about thoughts, then wouldn't everything be metacognition? Because like, you think about stuff, so that stuff is thoughts, so you think about thoughts! And then like, I was thinking, but then I wasn't about anything, so was I still thinking? Well yes, because I was thinking about not thinking about something. So, I dunno...I mean, to say life is "weird" is an understatement. And here I am, trying to comprehend it all and write it down on a blog. It's just weird how music can change everything. How nothing, how everything can change nothing or change everything. Humans are so frail. I read this article in the Community High magazine (very famous) that made me think way differently about homo sapiens. I mean, it's like here we are, trying to grasp this phenomenal world we were randomly put in and we seem so amazing. Yet, most of us are scared at the sight of a bumble bee. Humans are so amazing though because we feel so many of these different emotions and they can be SO STRONG. Like, I just feel so...what's the word? Like, strongly about someone and you just want to say something but you don't. Life is just so complex...what with time, space, etc. Different thoughts you can think each day, different things you can do. We try to predict it, but that doesn't work. We try to understand it, yet the whole concept of understanding something can be hard to understand itself. You wish you know the answer to life but I always say, what's the question? What if LIFE is the answer? I guess you might say I'm a deep thinker...I think a lot, like I said earlier. And then when other people aren't as deep thinker, it's just...I don't know. Not really annoying, just interesting. So, and then there's that whole thing with language. If you actually think about what you do, how you do it, it's so weird. Just think about anything for a long time and it hits you that this is so frickin' weird, man. Think about when you talk; moving your tongue and lips to form some weird air waves that your brain recognizes as language. Your brain is amazing; what with memory, comprehension...just think. THINK.

deep stuff. i got totally absorbed in the metacognition part. but i mean, thinking is what i spend a lot of time doing. so what's i'm doing is the barest form of any form. so without one of the barest form of any form, where would the humans be? no where. we're so important yet so meanlessness to the universe. the whole thing is like a soap opera combined with a weather channel- a weird combo of two polar opposites - everything and anything, and then nothing.
