Okay, so I can't really write today - I've tried three times and only come up with sentence fragments. That's what I get while trying to type while in euphoria. Well, not euphoria exactly, but I'm listening to some good music and it totally broke this block I've had for the past week. It was really bad - it's the week before finals and I couldn't focus enough to write more than a few lines per hour. My lack of productivity this week has truly been horrific. And talk about stressful! I have two huge projects and three finals next week. This has really not been the week to suddenly become distracted.

Perhaps it was simply that I had too much fun this weekend. I got stoned and we wandered on over to this bar I had never been to before. It was perfect! It was like realizing that I'd been searching for this bar my entire life. Maybe it won't be so great to go back to sober, but I really enjoyed myself - even though I was babbling the entire night.

It was great Eric. My friends asked me something about some word and I totally went off. I explained to them that in order to truly understand words you have to realize that every word carries an entire world of sensations with it. We build up such strong associations of sight, smell, and sound with words that words have wierd power over us. Kind of like names. We tie our identity in so closely with our names that it's no wonder some cultures believe that names hold power over us.

They do. They hold a wicked psychological power to instantly trigger the belief that the person using our name actually knows us. Think about it. Try it. We all know how to use each other's names. Watch how we do it. We naturally alter our tone and intent to wield people's names over them.

Anyway, I'm getting a little wide from the world again, but I know what I know.
