Mr Pessimistic.
Okay, so maybe my last entry was a bit on the doomsday side. Due to my on going fascination with, and recent meanderings of, the void, I decided to do a googal search with the word. I clicked on images becasue I was curious to see that our little collective mind thaought that the void might look like, and this is what I found.
Isn't it great? I love it. Its perfect. Its a great representation of the void, don't you think? Is it an extra large veggie or an extra small key board. Is that even why the veggie is there. It seems like a meaningful clue into existence. But really, what is it? Its nothing. But some how it got brought into existence. PLOP. There it is. I'm fascinated that someone went to the kind of trouble to put it there. It takes more effort then just penciling something on the wall doesn't it? but why? what the hell does it communicate?
I was about to say that I wish life was more like this. But it IS this, isn't it? Think of all the things that you love and hate and worry about for a moment. Now keep that idea, the totality of it all, and, look at it as if it were this picture. This one picture, not even what is in the picture, but the picture itself. Isn't it the same thing? This thing is the result and conclusion of some sort of drama that was happening to one or more people at one time and put up on the the wall for all to rep the befit of understanding.But what does it mean? anything at all?
Take anything out of context and the world deconstructs into nothingness. "I think therefore I am" is bullshit. The truth is, You think, therefore I am. Nothing can ever have meaning and therefore existence with out the rest of the world supporting it and visa versa!
Maybe thats why I have such a strange fascination with the internet. It is the most random collection of unrelated ideas that was ever linked together. In its great efforts to give information and meaning, it has become an explosion of meaninglessness. It embodies the void. Its randomness of objects and ideas that never lead to anything else is in effect the void itself.

hi baby.
i don't think i'm intelligent enough to really comment on your blog. i haven't thought much about the void except how i would like to fill it with meaningless objects from Crate and Barrel - but then i realize that if i did that, the void would just change position and end up in my bank account, instead of my living room.
basically, i like cake.

The void...
Sometimes I feel like my giant squash is too big, and my keyboard is too small. I like cake too Cas.
You guys should get a multifunction device not unlike my Lexmark x85. It's a printer/copier/scanner, and it replaces pretty much any device in those categories. They're really cheap now. I purchased mine for less than $70 online.

I think waht you are writing about here is one of the things that is happening as a result of the internet becoming a more and more like the toaster.. the idea that the world can and is an objective experience is going the way of the dinosaur, we are seeing more and more a world being crafted to work with the subjective reality of end-users. "since globalization will have caused the planet to close in on istself like a ripe fruit......After the no mans's land of the desertified countrysides, how can we imagine the future no man's time of a planet where the interval of the continental local space will have ceded primacy to the interface of the the world time of information highway" our world and our perceptions have indeed become global, as if or neurons or rather our entire being and sense of perception has been keyed into the internet, we can and do communicate and experience our world through a lense or window that sees from or chairs to anywhere the most sophisticated telescopes that NASA has pointing at the stars will take our minds, it is truly beautiful and grossly obscence. what a world.. Happy to see you posting. cassie d is a wonderful blogworld friend.. can't wait to meet you in person.
