It is said that everyone's life flashes before their eyes before they die. To me, this is man experiecing timelessness while still alive. It is the beginning of man's ascension into the next realm of existence. Another such instance of when man losing himself in time is when he sleeps. One passes from this realm, into the unconscious, into sleep. Some say that sleep is simply practice of death. So then what is death but eternal rest?

I can’t remember the last time that I’ve just cried. Some might say that that’s a good thing… I don’t. To be honest, I can barely remember – not counting the past couple of months – the last time that I have felt emotion at all. I have conditioned myself to feel no pain; the problem with this is that I (obviously) can no longer feel pain… or anything else. I always advise people not to put their emotions in a bottle. They always build up, and if shaken, like a carbonated beverage, will explode (which ironically causes an implosion in the mind of the possessor). I have tried to pour these passions out, but instead I have simply ignored that they exist. I have buried them. I am a hypocrite. The only way to pour out your emotions is to express them, and express them properly by dealing with them. Dwelling on things doesn’t make them disappear. This becomes problematic, though, when you lose the ability to feel and express emotion. Reason only goes so far. One must express passion. One must experience, in some way, catharsis. How does one regain the ability to feel? My guess is that one must reconnect to society. Befriend someone. Talk with a sibling or parent. Confide in someone; anyone. Love. No man is an island, no matter how much one deludes him or herself.

Have you ever had that feeling - no, it's more of a type of thinking, or a temporary perspective about life - where everything is so freaking funny that you can't stop laughing? You begin to think that some o.t.w. thing is hilarious and you start laughing; then you realize that you're being an ass, which you also find to be funny, so you continue this neverending cycle of laughter. If you have experienced this, you're not alone. It's wonderful, isn't it? My girlfriend, Kylie, came up with this term - air current time - to describe this state; or rather, her dad did. He had originally coined it while observing his dog barking at absolutely nothing. He figured it was barking at a change in the air current. Thus, whenever one laughs without reason, it has come to mean that they are experiencing air current time. I've found that this often happens while under the influence... when our minds are incapable of functioning correctly. Maybe you get this feeling when you do drugs, or when you're so tired that you enter into an insomnia-like state; but what about when you're in love? Does this state have a significant place in a close relationship? And if it does, why; what is it; what does it mean? Is it simply a sign of a well-oiled relationship, that you are comfortable with one another? I cannot answer these questions. Let me know if you can. I do know that laughter is important, whether you're in a relationship or not. I believe that it's something that we all need more of in our lives. Lighten up America; stop crying; relieve a little stress; be happy; laugh. Don't wait until you're reduced to a melting glob of grey matter walking around with a rod up your ass. Wake up. Change your lives. Welcome the changes taking place around you, especially changes in air currents.
