everything_thought typhoid what, you think it's all already been thunk? that the thought_set is some dank stagnant pool we can dip our mind sieves into and pull out the same old crap over and over? hehe. i dont think so. thought evolves like everything else.. maybe faster (at least in some cases). 000629 ... grendel we are all variations on a theme 000629 ... typhoid it only seems this way because you're letting your words confine you. and define you. spread out. dissolve the metaphor. it's possible, i hope it's not too late. 000630 ... bownan I've said it before and i'll say it again... up here for thinkin down there for dancin.. thought before not thought before makes no difference to me if you need to say it, say it 000630 ... typhoid there we go. exactly. as usual i'm missing the fucking obvious. 000630 ... whirligirl hmmm. i don't think you need to be quite so hard on yourself. there's an art to criticism (self and otherwise), you know. although i would venture into the territory of saying that it takes time to learn about it. your thoughts above are not invalid, but we could be talking about any number of things when we talk about everything_thought or the theory_of_everything. 000630 ... grendel in excelsis deo i'm not saying this to discourage anyone but in an infinitely random universe, regardles of technical capability, anything i can imagine, i would guess, has already been imagined at some other point in time, by any number of people who were here before me the scope of human knowledge and experience, though ever expanding still lags behind the scope of the imagination anything worth thinking of has been thought of before and will be thought of again as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be and it was good 000630 ...
