------Phew, I was wondering if you were going to respond to me in terms of "blog theory" or if a response meant trying to match my random machine gun fire of text. I'm kind of sad it wasn't the latter, but I think your pretty much mostly right. I would love for an organic growth of this blog where our minds work in sync toward something greater. But where is our goal, and what is our starting point? I thought that maybe if I used different text colors, italics, and laid out embryos of a hundred different ideas we could somehow use one of them, or merge a few of them (in actuality they were born to die on the spot, or maybe more like a clashing with everything else- mini explosion- and thats it). I don't want to butt heads (but I do think there is bound to be a little of it, cause I can sense a chasm in our ideas of philosophy, writing, and creativity, which I'm sure is true between all people but especially painful between you and I [Tom] because we both have thought about these things alot and want to share it with each other, a process still in its early phase yet we think we are old/smart enough that we don't take well to disagreement even though disagreement and difference is string-theory reality), personally I am interested in theory but I find it hard to discuss with you in a sort of analytical/logical framework my intuitions, in this sense I guess I am less articulate (I guess it might be more of a problem with me, as you may be more practiced in having serious conversation and dialogue through your lit. theory-where there is deeper thinking because of its accepted open subjectivity, in contrast to my experience in politics, where subjectivity is told to sit on the bench- thus my tyrannical form of argument), I want just to do. I don't want this to become some sort of contest about who can thread together the most well worded sentences together which are in actuality meaningless. But my doing, and I guess this is what I was trying to describe as I was doing it, had the feel of an inside joke, an introspective outerness, not a diarist but a columnist speaking to those crazy enough to try to understand him (which may be ok?).
------So a dialogue is better. And I guess in some ways this means it need be more personal, which I was trying to avoid but was failing at and only created a impenetrable personability. Still all this returns us to our original matter of discussion- continuity and direction. I have no clear ideas on this. Blogs in general that I've read have no real continuity besides a theme they focus on (which I never like), such as "continental philosophy" or "left-wing politics", or "new music releases". There are also the ones where we talk about what we are doing and how we are feeling and what we are thinking which I guess we are doing now but as a general trend I think is also weak. Creativity right???? Creativity flows in so many different directions, in so many different formats, even within this limiting format of the typed word. But I think there is nothing wrong with us getting into each others heads right? Anyways, we didn't really get that much figured out. But this is good. And its only 10am in the morning here at work. Shit I've even have a whole schedule of my day written out (cuz you said it'd be good for a story!!!) that I did last week which I've spared you guys because only so much should be done. Who said blog posts are supposed to be short?
Uh oh I need to go somewhere else now hope I dont have to make phone calls.
