Not Quite IRL

Dunno how to categorize this, so I just put it under the 3 most fitting categories.

I was talking to Tessa today (bless her), and we went over a lot of different things. It was enlightening on many levels, and just overall good to see her again. Anyway, she asked me about my writings. How I did it. And not in the sense of what keyboard I used or whatever.. but how I structured my writings. And it made me think. Not just about that, but about... how I feel a lot of the time when I'm writing. I talk to a lot of people on the internet daily, through work and sparetime. I've met many friends there and just generally, I do a lot of typing during an average day. And the funny thing is, I've noticed many times, but never taken time to analyse, my state of mind when I type.

With a post like this one here, I basically get the idea, open the new entry box, and start typing. And I keep going until the last word in the post is entered. No breaks, no thoughts through the typing. I just let it flow, kind of, from my fingers. That goes for much of the writing I've done through my life. That's one aspect of it. Another is how I sense the world I type in. It's difficult to explain, but my senses change around when I type, depending on mood and speed and purpose. My sight in particular gets distorted, and I get a lot of different impressions. Like claustrophobia inside the text... or fishvision. It's really hard to explain, but I just sort of sense the world in a distorted way. Or confined... or messy. Saw a program about a guy once, who saw numbers as landscapes. Each number had it's own. He was able to name Pi with like 5000 decimals just from the top of his head. That and multiplying large numbers in seconds. It just came to him. I know I'm not a prodigy like him at all, but that's sort of how it appears to me. Not as landscapes, but just as flowing visions. My actual vision can be distorted (of course it happens more when I'm tired), and my intellectual impressions can be weird as well. It's all pretty funky. Like typing on mushrooms.

In order to use this category, not quite irl, which I didn't actually create myself, I've come up with a little gimmick. The "I've Often Wondered..." posts. At lot of wacky weird and random thoughts pop into my head when I walk around, and it's always hard to get people to actually reply to them, because most people just don't cope well with the wacky side of life. Absurdity 4tw. Anyway, here goes the first.

.... who pays for all the damages done by superheroes, like Spider-Man? I mean, in the comics and movies, you just see buildings get wrecked left and right, cars smashed, windows broken etc. etc. etc. Who the hell pays for all these damages? The insurance companies in NYC must go bonkers.

"OMG NO... ANOTHER SPIDER-MAN RUIN?... will he ever stop?". Any suggestions? It's something to think about, with the coming of Spider-Man 3.

..use more of their energy on important issues. I'm amazed at the kind of shit people will fight vigorously for. I read today, about a woman who went on hunger strike against a contestant on American Idol still being in the program. What the HELL? I quote:

A woman who went on a hunger strike to protest against contestant Sanjaya Malakar's continued presence on American Idol
has agreed to end her fast after 16 days upon doctor's advice. The
woman, who uses only the initial J in her Internet postings, also urged
others who had joined the hunger strike to give it up and instead join
her in developing a voting strategy to counter those Idol mischief-makers who are attempting to sabotage the show by voting for the worst contestants. http://imdb.com/news/sb/2007-04-03/#tv5

She goes on a hunger strike to protest against Sanjaya's continued presence on a tv show. A TV show? Why not hunger strike against the war or the Bush administration or fucking go on a hunger strike protesting against pointless hunger strikes. This is like making an internet petition against the continued manufacturing of Red M&Ms. So Doctor tells her she's going to die if she doesn't eat... and she starts eating. What has she accomplished? Not a thing. Besides of course getting mentioned in the WENN news on IMDB (albeit not by her name). What's more, she's managed to secure 5 minutes of fame on Dalif.com.... damn her!

Dalif says: Hungerstrike yourself to death, and rid the world of your stupidity. GUNG-HO!

Remember Funny Story Part 1? Well I've just been updated. They confronted the guy with the pictures of him nude, and to their amazement, he wasn't perplexed and didn't seem embarrassed. At first tho, he did try to shrug it off, with the excuse, that perhaps somebody else had put them on there. This, of course, was ridiculous. Who'd put nude pictures of him on those machines? Hardly likely. So he accepted the written warning, but didn't want to step down or leave the place. Apparently, it didn't bother him much.

I'm not so sure how the rest of the gang in there feels about it tho :)

This is classed under Not Quite IRL, because it is almost surreal. It just goes to show, that working in the hotel buisness always brings about interesting stories. Do read on :)
