Gafoo's Blog

Warning long post but suffice it to say, I am officially back!!!!

So as a pennance to my long neglected and forgotten blog, I am resolving to make up to it by posting in it everyday and also trying to grow the readership. As part of that last bit, I would like to thank all my friends and family that have linked to my blog and read it and request that if you haven’t linked it somewhere, please do (a little myspace, facebook, friendster, orkut, digg, livejournal, xanga, or blogger love if you please.) As always, I would be happy to return the favor by linking to your corner of the web. Anyway, now that that’s over with…

As most of you reading know, I am somewhat of a “grandiose” person and I like to believe that I have come up with some amazing revelations about life and the world in general. As with most humans, we literally know nothing about ourselves and the environment around us however we fill in the gaps with reactions that we like to call “information.” To borrow a phrase from one of my favorite writers Scott Adams, (seriously, an excellent writer) we are nothing more than delusion generators. As a society and as individuals we tend to follow whatever delusion fits us best. With that in mind, my latest revelation (#35463164 for those of you keeping count) follows no logic whatsoever but tends to fit in with most peoples delusions so I figure what the hell…

Life without drama doesn’t exsist. (insert obvious movie noise here dunh dunh dunh)

Have you ever had a period in your life when you just woke up, went to work/school, came home, went to sleep, and repeat for a while (2-8 weeks or longer or shorter depending on who you are). Nothing happened any differently, just same old, same old. I am sure we all have had times in our lives when it was just the routine and nothing else. Now take that time in your life and think real hard and try to remember one single detail about it that made it somewhat meaningful. Hell, even try to remember the exact date or possibly the approximate date. Does it just slip from you mind? It does for me. For all useful purposes, it’s like that time in my life doesn’t exsist. I think I am approaching a point, just give me a minute…

There was a period in my life when I was (at least to me) a socialable person. I knew everyone, they knew me. I got stopped constantly by people just to say hi. I knew every detail about everyones life and they knew about me. I had a huge circle of friends. I can remember every minute detail about my life at that point and every day had a deep and great purpose. Even if it was a bad memory, it was an important part of my life and thus it is forever with me unlike my weeks of monotony.

Our perception of time is exactly that, a perception. It speeds up and slows down all day even though if we could bottle it up it would always be the same volume. I suppose my point is this…
Seek Out The Drama!!!
Seriously, seek out some spice, seek out some comfort, seek out some trouble, seek out some danger etc….
Of all the crazy things I have done in my life (oh if the L.A. cats knew my past. Wow!!!) I can say that I would not be who I am without any of it and I am glad that I have mostly memories and very few periods of non-exsistance.
