Well, I've taken a break from blogging, which is really just electronic fantasy land masturbation. The problem is that all the time spent blogging could be better spent with front-line activism. So, maybe I'll still blog -- but just blog LESS and maybe not spend so much time with cute colors and pictures. I mean, really, I think my fan base is shrinking anyway.
So, I'm still obsessed with the idea of brainwashing. I saw a show last night on the History Channel about the Cultural Revolution in China during the late 1960s. It really freaked me out -- how all those masses of young people could submit to mind control. So, my hard right, ultra religious mother has said that I'm brainwashed, but I think SHE is brainwashed. How can someone know when they are brainwashed? Maybe everything in my head has been put there by some sinister force with an agenda. Who's to say?
But back to my blog ... as I was reading some of my entries I just started feeling that I am WAY too cranial for my own good. I think that I've done so much deep thinking that I gone into some deep abyss and now I can't get out — I'm just stuck in this world of deep thought. I mean, as a kid I was called a day dreamer, but honest, I can't help it. I think about the world's problems while driving, I lay in bed at night and stare at the ceiling, and I mostly sit in my little home office and just do mostly nothing but THINK.
So, NO, I'm nowhere near to figuring everything out, but every year I'm on this Planet I figure out things more and more. Every piece of history I learn, every book or article I read, every discussion I have with a fellow Canary — all of this continues to open my little birdbrained head more and more. I feel so open minded and free, but ... am I just brainwashed?
