two things crossed my mind when contemplating blogging this morning. firstly the non comments. i find it interesting what isn't commented upon and what is. not in a i hate what i write sort of way, but really, just interesting. for a while, maybe even up to last week, i was feeling really good about blogging sheerly because of the comments i was getting. and then i got nothing on the last post and felt a little sad about it. then i felt a sort of relief about how somethings don't need comments. but it was more than relief, it was a burden lifted really. a realization that although this blog is read by others, it's really for me. it's a kind of cathartic thing to put words down, whether they be on paper or on keys. if i'm really to write, i don't mind that others read it, and i don't mind if they have comments on it, but they don't have to. comments don't validate my writing. i know this shifts our relationship from eager acceptance of comments to something else, but i don't mind, do you?
secondly, i forgot i guess. but i did have this dream about having a dream that was interpreted. i wonder if it means something.
edit,
i get sick of people assuming that common sense is common knowledge. there are many different ways to do things, just because my sense doesn't line up with your sense doesn't mean that you're right and i'm wrong.

Here is how I would relate the two. Common knowledge is facts that we all hold to be of the DUH category. Fire is hot, The sky is blue, metal is hard. Things that all people are assumed to know in common. Common sense would relate to actions involving such things. Its common sense to not stick your hand in fire, its hot! Don't hit yourself with metal, it will hurt. Thats my thinking on the two, that about what you think too? Goodness me I need a break from thinking!

i agree with what you say about writing being cathartic. some days i'll just feel restless and bothered and i can't do anything, and then i blog, and i can get on with other things. strange.
