Thinking

November 7, 2002

I had a stomach cramp today. Blah. I get those every once in a while, and they usually last about a day then just go away, but they’re a bunch of trouble when they’re around. I should probably eat slower – darn high school conditioning from having 12-minute lunches.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking lately about thinking. A few classes ago in new media we talked about how Einstein got many of his ideas from watching ‘cats at play’, and I kind of wonder if daydreaming could be very productive if done in pretty large spans of time. It got me to thinking; if I had a day with nothing to do at all and just spent 12 hours daydreaming, what would happen? I don’t know that I’ll actually do it anytime, but I thought it was interesting to think about. I’ll probably take an hour one of these days and try it, kind of like meditation but a little different. Sometime.

Yay! No more classes this week!
