so, chewing gum. Let’s talk chewing gum.

I don’t understand mint gum. Breath mints are just as good, in fact much better because after eating a breath mint, all that’s left is fresh breath. With gum, there’s of course, gum left.

Bubble gum, well…I loves me the bubble gum. any flavor really. Bubble gum is good fun.

Anyway, let’s talk about gum chewing. I don’t really mind gum chewing so much, unless it goes on for a long time, past the flavor of the gum. What’s wrong with people who continually chew their gum? I’m not going to compare them to cows chewing cud for the reason that at least cud is helpful to the cow. Gum past the flavor is no good for humans.

Think of it, the flavor is gone. What does it taste like? Some people say it’s tasteless. I say it tastes like spit. Regular spit.

A huge wad of gummy, not going anywhere, spit.

People need to realize that chewing it constantly, the wad o’ non-disappearing or swallowable spit, is disgusting.

Therefore, let us institute this rule: Once the flavor is gone, get rid of the gum!

This is brought on by Loralee’s post on television and the 80’s and E! tv shows.

Square One, best show out there. Specifically because of MathNet…I’m Monday, and this is Friday. I do recall some replacement for Monday though(I think it was for her), she was replaced by Thursday.

Man I loved square one.

As for 3-2-1 Contact, that show rocked. The magazine was much better though, because it had included in it BASIC programs that you could type into basic and play games on. They were pretty danged cool, and was one of the main issues in me getting involved in programs. But I seem to recall 3-2-1 contact having a VERY catchy theme. Anybody got a link for that?

Of course, for public TV there was also sesame street and Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood and some other random ones like the news and such.

I’ve always joked that if they ran a marathon of Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood that it would mess up the kid watching it…”Mom! He’s feeding the fish AGAIN!!! HE’S GOING TO KILL THE FISH!”

aahh….good times.

after doing reading in the Buddhist traditions, and such, I’ve decided to try meditation myself.

After weeks of hard work, I’ve acheived through meditation the state of thoughtful yet unthinking enervation.

After sitting and meditating, I feel the state of myself become one with something bigger. I lose all sense of my singular self.

I suppose, if you want to be less technical about this meditation technique, you could call it something simpler: a nap.
