Menopause & Mid-Life Crisis Go Hand In Hand

Yeah ... yeah ... yeah ... it's been awhile since I last blogged. Not that nothing's going on in my mind. I actually have brain drain at the moment. Have you ever felt like your streams of thoughts just go through randomly jumping from one to another and it just goes on and on and on ... you can't cacth up and you just get exhausted? One second-you feel happy, the next-sad and then-glad ... and it just goes on and on. It sounds like one is going through menopause and raging hormones are on the lose, some kind of like a rampage invoking a rather very confused ... to some, it might seem a little bit on the deranged outbursts of seemingly insignificant ideas.

It can't be menopause.

It can't be mid-life crisis either.

I've been attacked by these streams of consciousness eversince my world began. Innate it is ... I've wished many a times that some kind of technology would have a cable attached to my brain and monitor each pulse. Yes, of course, the device should be able to transcribe it automatically in some form of a word processing program coupled with the whole multi-media arena. It's a a funny thought as to how people go far beyond and wander into space sending shuttles, satellites and all these weapons of destruction. The world may have the most powerful weapons that would annihilate mankind and all these hi-tech gadgets and stuff when nobody really knows so much about what goes inside the brain.

Yeah ... yeah ... yeah, right. Right and left side of the brain stuff and how the front controls this and that. Freudian theories or whatever crap but no one's for sure and no one has invented such. We explore the vastness of the universe, what about our oceans ... why go far when something so near is still left undiscovered? My girlfirend and I were talking earlier this evening about how mankind is coming up short. I started off the conversation about how the musicians have not come up with any new trends. My girlfriend agrees that there seems to be a stomp, stunted growth. Nobody seems to be coming up with new tunes ... it's just going in circles.

I heard the "Shaker Song" by SpyroGyra over the radio in traffic, invoking some thoughts about how I felt about some twenty years ago when the same song was just hitting the airwaves. The twenty-year-olds right now would probably be hearing the same song over the radio and would be thinking of the same instant as it was at that moment. The artists are fresh out of ideas. Nothing is original any more. It's just being reinvented over and over again through the means of technology. The same old tune with different gadgets then comes the intellectual property clause. Man is just so full of ...

Yeah ... yeah ... yeah.

Hmmm ...
