Sometimes, you just have to get things out of your head. Not like a bad song, but rather, as an exercise to make sense of it all. It can't hurt to organize a memory or train of thoughts, can it? Some people journal. Some people write songs. Some people try to think out loud just to help squeeze that idea out. I've done them all and have learned that it takes a lot of work to make heads or tails out of what's going on inside my brain. As my header says, my thoughts are like a tree. A friend once laughed at me for saying this, and I think the very experience may have even ended up as some anecdote in one of his sermons. But you know what? It's true! My thoughts (I guess like everyone's) constantly branch off in seemingly unexplainable directions. My mind is like a giant game of "6 degrees to Bacon" or whatever it's called. "...this thought was in a scene with that thought, which co-starred with the other thought.......that had a cameo in that daydream with......" You get it.
What I'm going to try to do with this blog experiment is sit down for a while and work out the twists and turns, or maybe dump everything out and put it all back together in a way that will benefit. -benefit me and maybe entertain those that peer at this spot and laugh (at me or with me).
So, I'll soon have another entry filled maybe with Seinfeldian quips or "did you ever notice" moments. Oh and metaphors...there will be metaphors. Or maybe just similes as I'm not extremely agressive and those metaphors come off kind of absolute and may not reflect the tone I'm after.
'til the next time,
Craig

Good idea Craig. I always find that writing out my seemingly unrelated thoughts seems to help, but mine are more like a roller coaster with unexpected twists and turns, and they always end up where they started.

Regarding the rearrangement of thoughts, I thought of this movie. You could check out the clip. Anyway, for what it's worth:
