Well hello there invisible people - I say invisible because I cannot see you. And you can call me invisible too, if you wish, because you cannot see me. The comatose state that I was in when I wrote my last entry a few years ago has transformed into something quite different, and I still don't know what it is exactly - what mutation happened. But something did happen and things changed. The thing that has not changed much is this terrible, terrible writer's block or whatever you want to call it. It's quite tedious, so I will do everything in my power to change this rather disruptive state of affairs. If I happen to be stricken by another long hiatus, well then I would be in a funk, and trying to leave that depressive state. In any case, if you enjoy eating frijoles (beans), like pet rats and Legos, then maybe we can get along. Oh yeah, I'm fully against the consumption of monkey brains.

This would be the next entry, following a long hiatus, and being in a semi-comatose state does not help with the arduous labour of gathering thoughts.

If what is being written sounds in a way bizarre or beyond the boundaries of what we mortals understand as logic, then by all means pardon me. Or don't. Speaking in a vulgar fashion is not what we gentlemen have been taught to do, but I believe it's valid to say that I don't give a fuck on whatever is written on this blog. A stone with painted eyeballs on it can read this - I don't give a shit. But I eventually will, and that's something to try to eliminate from the inner dialogue, so as to not get in the way of things, when giving a shit becomes a factor.

Introduction



Good evening ladies and gents - I'm Eli and this is the first time I ever write on what is known to be a blog. Having at the present moment a very distracted state of mind, I can't pinpoint exactly what to write, so I'll proceed to write about nothing. Nothing is a great word, behold the defintion:
noth·ing (nthng)
pron.
1. No thing; not anything: The box contained nothing. I've heard nothing about it.
2. No part; no portion: Nothing remains of the old house but the cellar hole.
3. One of no consequence, significance, or interest: The new nonsmoking policy is nothing to me.
n.
1. Something that has no existence.
2. Something that has no quantitative value; zero: a score of two to nothing.
3. One that has no substance or importance; a nonentity: "A nothing is a dreadful thing to hold onto" (Edna O'Brien).
adj.
Insignificant or worthless: "the utterly nothing role of a wealthy suitor" (Bosley Crowther).
adv.
In no way or degree; not at all: She looks nothing like her sister.
Idioms:
for nothing
1. Free of charge.
2. To no avail: all that trouble for nothing.
3. For no reason: fired him for nothing.
in nothing flat
In very little time; very quickly.
nothing doing Informal
Certainly not.


It's an interesting word to think a little bit about. Nothing is what many believe we'll end up feeling when we're dead, what we sometimes try to think, many times with no success, when something in life goes awry, and some spiritual masters believe that it is best many times to think, well, nothing, in order to feel better and be more enlightened. I'll ask Buddah about that. Nothing is a mystery (maybe according to Buddha or the Nordic gods). But some of the defintions define nothing to be actually something, therefore the meaning of nothing contradicts itself. Since it can be defined as something, even if that something has no existence, then maybe nothing, with all its meanings and definitions inlcuded, really is a mystery.
