Thoughts on thinking and other things, (but not Steven Spielberg)


Today has been rather tough you see something terrible happened that involved the use of thought; it was what is known as thinking. I can see the look of shock in your faces as I say this. Well I can’t see it but I know it is there because the alternative would be ambivalence and that does not bear thinking about, particularly after a day spent thinking about other stuff.  Actually I probably don’t mean ambivalence thinking about it I probably mean indifference or even worse ordinariness. Thoughts of creating ordinariness after an entire day of thinking is the sort of thing that the Greek Gods would worry about and the reason the Roman Empire fell in such a spectacular fashion all those years ago, and mark my words no such think is going to happen in my diary.

So what was it I was thinking about I hear you say, again I cant hear you say but I know that deep down you just need to know and it is going to be a bit of a shock to almost all of you. I say almost because there is always some smart character out there lurking in a doorway who will say I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO SAY THAT, but the truth is I can’t remember. 



Still there is one great advantage in not remembering what I spent the day thinking about; it means I do not need to tell you what it was now because I can’t. And that is rather useful because it is now getting rather late and I will be heading off to bed very soon. 

I have been told by the Ghost Writer the brain is very clever and deletes all none important information and so all that remains are the critical items of information which make us tick and function.  The result of this is apparently a diary that is lean mean and concise with no spurious data that is not needed in order for it to be a functional and interesting which is damn lucky, I don’t think that Steven Spielberg would appreciate something that rambles on for ever.

It also appears the Ghost Writer has also been using his brain today in looking at a whole new national database and then sorting PC’s and printers, He also says he reckons that Steven Spielberg might like to make a film about a mad IT expert who has lost the plot . . . . . . .mum says the Ghost Writer is an IDIOT. . . . . . . I think I agree that sounds rubbish.

  1. A ghost writer, eh? I could see right through this posting. Speaking of ghost, news flash, Jacob Marley was nor related to that Reggae dude, Bob Marley...

    Pawsitive wishes,

    1. Well thank you Mr G, It is a terrible shock to find out Jacob and Bob are not related. I will have to re think my Christmas posts for this year. . . .

      Talking of which it has got very cold over here again (well cold for the UK in spring)

      Say hello to Penny the Jack Russell, is she related to Jane Russell..

    2. Ah Rob, alleged human friend. It was me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar, who left the comment. For some reason, my icon doesn't seem to show up on here. Good heavens, I show up as a silhouette of a human. Shudder. To answer your question, because I know how important it is to your life knowing it, I am related to Kurt Russell and he took me to the Stargate....

    3. Yes Icons don't seem to work on comments even me on my own blog. Technology never quite does what it should.

      I looked up that Kurt chap and I see he might have met that nice Steven Spielberg who said of my Diary and my self . . . . Get him away from me, call the guards, he's mad have you read this stuff its rubbish.

      Luckily I know he is only joking and trying to get me to drop the price of the manuscript for the film a bit more.

      Have you noticed that this blog and the comments are not like other blogs, well except for the small group of RATs (Radical Abstract Thinkers) of which there are five of us

    4. Ah yes, Rob, icon almost understand what you are trying to say and your Dairy, sorry Diary, I've no doubt will thrill them by the millions, eventually.

      Human friend, we endeavour to make Monty Python seem like serious drama. Of course, "RATS" spelt backwards is "STAR" which is what you are.

      In conclusion, yes in conclusion, you might notice that there is a lot of abstract comments on my site. Yes all five of them, me, Penny the amazing dog, a wayward hedgehog, two cats and a confused iguana.

  2. I think of my brain as the connection between aLL my computer based sources of information. Sometimes that makes forgetting difficult, depending on my degree of organization skiLLs and ability to stay ahead of catastrophical hardware disasters. I find myself by larger hard drives that had everything of the previous incarnation, or maybe a better word is in-computa-tion. And now there is the Apple iCloud as weLL. KiloMegaGigaTeranasaurus Hex.

    1. ActuaLLy I wanted the veRy last word to be rHex, but the comment editor doesn't cycle properly when I am the second comment today because the icon pictures of your followers covers up the word 'edit'. Strange happening of the web ...

    2. I also just now discovered that when I have the button bubble problem if I just continue to hold down on the blue Publish button for about 4-5 seconds then it wiLL register the action in the browser form and work. Now I am tired.

    3. I started my diary in order to help not forget things but as it gets larger it gets harder to find the things I think I have forgotten. I wonder if is good to remember everything because there must be a point where the amount of data is so large it would be impossible to deal with it all.

      I saw the word KiloMegaGigaTeranasaurus and thought dinosaurs, I am sure that is a large vegetarian thing with a long neck and feet. . . .

      Take care Mr ESB

    4. As there is a 1000x difference between each prefix, kilo mega giga tera, I think that particular dinosaur would be veRy strangely shaped, but dinosaur was what I was going for.


      Great minds think a light.

    5. Well if we think a light then I am brighter than I thought I was Mr ESB, I think you have a better brain than me . . . . . although I might be a bit madder than you.

  3. What with you not remembering and Mr H not telling, I feel like I'm missing out on some mysterious conundrum. :)

    1. I like the idea of a mysterious conundrum Miss Lily it should appear in a Sherlock Holmes film

      Sherlock Holmes and the mysterious conundrum . . . . .Where is that Steven Spielberg when you need him

    2. Im pretty sure that Rob was not thinking about the thing that I can not yet speak about, although I can not be 100% sure because Rob is unable to think about what it was he was thinking about and I can't talk about the thing I can't talk about.
      It's all getting rather complicated for a saturday afternoon...

    3. Hello Mr H In reality I am very good at keeping secrets because after about 48 hours I cant remember them.

      But as Mr ESB above says luckily enough we have huge hard drives and an icloud which looks like an ant with an ice cream walking on a daffodil, I think to store everything on.

      I will not talk of the thing you cant talk of either now, so mums the word. . . . .

    4. I beginning to go right off the two of you. :)
