The Clear Extrovert's Journal. . .
Jul. 31st, 2005 10:54 am( I don't really even know why I looked into it )
I don't mean to sound critical; anyone can use their journal for anything they want, and more power to them as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure he'd have similar only opposite criticisms of mine,' There's nothing tangible here. There's no continuity, this is totally irrational nonsense.' Well, true enough! With mine I like to try to bridge the gap between events that happen to me on the outside with the impacts that they elicit on the inside. Yes, I'm exploring that connection in words and images.
Even before reading this guy's journal, I was kicking around the idea of recording the 'stats as usual' and putting them at the bottom of each entry in coded form - beers consumed:009; mileage:057; money-out:37.95; money-in:00.00, minutes-meditation: 30.00, etc, etc. and it would look something like (009/057/37.95/00.00/30.00/. . .), and all I'd have to do is keep the formula straight. But then it dawned on me that I don't keep track of that kind of shit to begin with. Why start now?
It was just a bizarre excursion into the experience of a totally random person's life. But it makes me appreciate who I am that much more.
