Lo and Behold: The Thing That Should Not Be

horay for my first blog entry ever.

i would just like to add that i am appointing myself as the official cinic, psychopath, sexaholic, mass murderer and all-round weird freak of this blog. so anyone who had their eyes on any of those possitions: HA! i beat u to it.

i was sitting in intro calc today having a conversation with myself and i had a very strange thought. as i was thinking this strange thought i had an even stranger one. and then i thought: am i actually thinking this in words??? it is a question i have spent a great ammount of time puzzling over. when we think of something, do we think that particular thought as words, like the ones i am writing down this second, or are they kinda like images that we throw together and make a slide-show of thought from??? do our thoughts come to us pre-assembled, or in bits and pieces like its been brought from ikea??? when we are having a casual conversation to someone, do we actually make a conscious effort to try and formulate what we want to say into words in our head (like the ones i am writing down right this instant), or does it just sort of pass out our mouths without a backwards glance at our brain??? i tried to decifer this puzzle, but of course as soon as i started trying to think clearly about what i was thinking, i actually started thinking in words subconsciously on purpose! i tried to stop, but once i started i couldnt. it was actually rather scary. after a while i think i started thinking my old way again, but of course as soon as i realised that it went right out the window once again before i had time to think of wether i was thinking in words or not. i asked several people wether they thought in words or not, and after they stopped to think about wether they think in words or not, they answered "yes", but i suspect that what happened to me had happened to them as well. as soon as you try and think about thinking something, it completely throws out your patterns and habbits of thought. so as they stopped and thought over my question, their brains decided to take this as a chance to mess with them and purposefully deliver their thoughts in words. after realising this anomaly, i realised what a fantastic device the human brain is. it can completely alter its own way of thinking and processing withought you even realising it. dam that human brain of mine, i must target the brains first if humanity is to fall to my feet..... anyway, afterwards i began to think that maybe this was again my brain messing with me, and i just wrote a whole fucking massive blog about nothing. oh well, its been fun, and for my first blog ever, im pretty proud. thanks for reading, unless your like me and you only skip to the interesting parts of blogs. well i got news for you, dickwad: there will be no interesting things in my blogs ever, just to spite you! mwuhahaha! oh how evil i am. dammit, that sounds kind of interesting..... i fail.
