Thoughtful tonight...

[NoJo]

I finally decided to put pen to paper and write this. As I sit here in my bedroom, I sit here, thinking thoughts. O, were there some way I could articulate them! These thought I think, as I sit here in my bedroom.

There is a sort of sorrow I feel for the poor people of the world. It’s a sorrow that troubles me, and fills my mind with thoughts, some happy, others sad.

Some wit once said “I think therefore I am”. Yet what of the thoughtless ones? Do we exist? Anyway that’s the sort of stuff I’ve been thinking, which has made me decide to put pen to paper and write these random thoughts.

Thanks, Joe. Very close to what I've been thinking, as I've been running around a church hall with my smelly mutt.

[Guest]

Gosh, I love thoughtful men. Hope to find one by Christmas.

p.s. Thank your pen for the reminder.

Beautiful handwriting!

Some wit once said “I think therefore I am”. Yet what of the thoughtless ones? Do we exist?

Nothing I love more than my pen, blue pen, thick and heavy, dripping on a piece of paper. I will have to post that poem
somewhere

Nonetheless, the thoughtless ones don't have to think because they are and always will be in an ellipsis filled world . . . yet having a hell of a lot of mindless sex. . . which is more than I can say.

And in the immortal words of someone, who was, or maybe still is, and who might have similarly penned the greatness that is this called Joe . . .

"All are lunatics, but he who can analyse his delusions is a philosopher."

Ambrose something or other . . . Bierce, yep, that's it.

I can analyse this

P.S. is that YOUR handwriting?

And how does one get one's handwriting into the computer like this?

 

[ABSTRUSE]

I fear being alone with my own thoughts, they become a chain reaction of other thoughts, then the original thought becomes lost and I become pensive and depressed.

BTW, you can tell a lot about a person by their handwriting. I should have been a doctor.

Psssst, it's an artsy, fartsy font. I've got loads of 'em, and use them in Adobe, etc, now and again.

Sorry about giving away yer trade secrets, Joe.

May I request a tutorial, Lou? It could go into How To.

 

[Guest]

Yeah, I'll write something up for you. There isn't much to it. Don't know when I'll get to it, though, got a busy weekend ahead of me.

Last night, the thoughts crowded down on me like crowding ideas, affording me little chance of sleep. Why are we men and women put on this earth? There’s so little time. How many seconds? Let the scientists with their calculators and test-tubes answer that one. I for one, prefer to look at a daisy and ponder how lovely all the stuff in the parks and pretty gardens is this Spring - the Spring which is followed by Summer., after which is Autumn.

There is, all the time, in the world.

 

[Liar]

...and not a second more.

 

[NoJo]

Well, it’s a beautiful Saturday, and here I sit, once more alone with my thoughts, as I hear the birds sing. Whenever I sit here by the sunny window, I feel somehow small and insignificant, especially compared with the blue sky, the tree outside my window and also the birds. What sort of tree is it, I wonder? Does it really matter? As some wag wrote: “A rose by any other name would still smell the same”.

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Do you guys have a button on your computers that I don't?

 

[neonlyte]

No

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Thank you, Sub Joe!


*hugs*

 

[Liar]

I don't have the font you guys have.
this looks exactly like this on my screen. Not at all as thoughtful a font.

But atleast you've got more geese than we do.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

I too often sit alone with my lonely thoughts, thoughts pregnant with pre-pubescent angst, and as I sit, I think about these thoughts, thinking whether these thoughts and things I think have ever been thought before, here in this lonely thinking place where I sit thoughtfully alone with my lonely thoughts.

Did I mention my thoughts? About thinking them, I mean? Yeah, I guess I did.

Joe, you'll never be taken seriously as the world's oldest adolescent poet-philospher till you can dot your i's with little circles. (Little hearts would do too.)

[raphy]

I often do this.

Sit down and write random trains of thought, I mean.

Raphy, who probably spends more time thinking than is healthy.

Some Thoughts On Books and Writing



Writing and books are wondrous things! Imagine! Public Libraries and, all over the world, there are Border’s Books! Bookshelves filled with all the knowledge of the ancients, including the Greeks.

I sit here, with a book (a philosophy book by L Ron Hubbard), and read of the mysteries of space travel. And to think this is one book among millions! My mind reels at the amount of books and writing undertaken by both men and women throughout our puny existence.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Books, amazing and wonderful creatures found between the pages....ahhh.

Do you feel after you have just finished reading something wonderful, that when you close the book, it's like saying Goodbye to old friends?

~A~

 

[minsue]

Yes.
