NOOER

ten thousand moos

industrial cream cheese. proust, proust and more proust.

and lots of catching of baseballs.

and questions, like: what makes that painting good?

excellent.

and cleaning kitchens, listening to the radio, really connecting with some of the lyrics, especially those of Stained.

i used to think such utterances rather self-indulgent until i came to discover my own interior graveyards. now i'm beginning to understand why those bands are so popular with a certain sub-set of people.

The melancholics seem to bond... perhaps because they have a shared experience, a similar outlook, fighting similar battles.

thought today: who *I* am is actually a series of electrical circuits through my brain and body. when the big D hits, it saps the brain cells' ability to keep enough neurotransmitters in the synapses to continue the old patterns of circuits lit up that *I* use to be *ME*... which might explain why decisions and thought and motion become so difficult. *I* can't "snap out of it" because the original *I* is only half there. (feels like it, anyway)*I* am a little piece of the universe, aware of a little piece of the universe... and dimly aware of the rest through reports from astronomy magazines, photos, etc.

but as the neurotransmitters get fewer and fewer, there is less *ME* operating the brain, looking for ways to jolt *MYSELF* out of a lower basin state of equilibrium.

the mania could well be a learned response, a coping mechanism to escape the monster... a higher basin state achieved that ultimately gets flipped back down when lack of sleep, exhaustion, dire consequences trigger more reuptake. anyway, gotta go to bed.
