Why must life always has to stimulate me and not the other way around? :-) And why do I always display a 'smiley' right after I say something silly?!? And Alec always asks me: "Why do you use the word "always" all the time?" This morning while I was driving to work, in silence: "If I were on the passenger seat looking at myself, would I like what I see?" Questions I ask but never expecting an answer. Someone asked "What comes after death?", but what were we before life began? It was 6.42am.
Life gives us this and that, but could we give ourselves even more? Sometimes I go about my days not knowing where I'm heading, and it seems that this is no way to spend my life. I guess it's moments like this when I ask myself such questions... and to wake up! For a short while anyway. Are we only sleepwalking?
You know how we get into our cars, or other mode of transportation, and we get from Point A to Point B? I feel like that today, and today I feel like that every day. Our bodies is just another vessel, traveling from one place to the next... There is no difference. Bodies that we can't get out of - in this lifetime. Our faces are just masks, and underneath that, we're all the same... like lost souls... sometimes...
I can't put words and things so eloquently like other bloggers do. :-) I'm fine. I was just thinking thinking this morning... Tomorrow is another day. I hope your day is going well! xoxo

I liked that very much :)

Our bodies are the car, and our mind is the radio... just tunin' into the cosmoc signal, playin' the song as best as we can.

You know...you should really turn the radio on in the car!
Seriously though, I think we all wonder these things from time to time!

Your post reminds me of the lyrics to "Nothing's Gonna Change My Clothes from the first They Might Be Giants album, which is also called They Might Be Giants. They sing about how our bodies are blobs of flesh with masks and hair holes for eyes.
I can remember the exact moment as a child when I tried to contemplate eternity. It blew my mind so much, I had to go outside and get out of my head.
I believe that how we perceive other people is a reflection of where we're at in our lives. If I was riding beside you at 6:42 a.m. and didn't know you--so why am I in your car?--I could only judge you based on my prior experiences with other people with similar facial expressions. We tend to look more closely at the facial expressions of strangers than the people we know well. I know lots of people who have bored normal expressions, but I know they're not bored.

Ooh.....scary! That question about being in the passenger seat and wondering if you'd like what you saw........I'm not so sure I'd want (like?) the answer. Now you've got us all to thinking.......................thanks a bunch.
