Do You MIND?

"The old gods are dead or dying and people everywhere are searching, asking : What is the new mythology to be, the mythology of this unified earth as one harmonious being?"
                                                                                                    Joseph Campbell

"Thumb looks like Little Grasshopper, no?"
It's fuuuneee you know how all weee dots take the MIND for granted. Throw off phrases like "Lost her mind", "Mind over matter", "Do you mind" and "It's all in the mind", are very common expressions that we tend to use without ever thinking what they actually mean. But that has all changed since Trigger Mystic Man came on the scene. Yep "someone out there" had to get to the bottom of this MIND thingie, and so we sent the Trigger Mystic Man out to investigate!
Weeeell, see there's this thingie.... No, hold on let's start again. When weee dots use the term 'mind' there is an implication that it (the mind) can be found in a particular time and place, a time and place that indeed man himself made up, right? OhK. Now the spatial place (the space bit) has always been assumed by weee genii to be in the head, and more specifically the brain. OhK. Now the temporal place (the time bit) that the mind has been connected with is supposedly the present moment within a single lifetime, right? OhK. Now this is where Mystic Man got a little lost. See, when weee dots get deaded then it follows that the brain gets deaded as well, huh? Right, and if the brain gets deaded when we get deaded then it is a reasonable assumption that the mind gets deaded right along with them. Hmmmmm....... Mystic Man confucious...
Picture
"How beautiful is it, huh?"
WROOOOONG. That interpretation is soooo wrong. The Western world is finally beginning to realise that there is "more to life". And our Eastern Mystics have been trying to tell us for millenia. For our mind is timeless, spaceless and immortal. A huuuuge spectrum of knowledge and it takes shape in another formless entity called the soul. And the "Big Daddy" of them all is our consciousness. Getting confucious, no? Hmmmm..... let's try Working Backwards and see if we can make it a little easier to comprehend. Close your eyes and IMAGINE (John Lennon would be proud of me!) just ONE entity, maybe even think solar system plus. Millions and millions of stars, separate but together as one entity. This is 'Universal' knowledge, or 'Universal' Oneness that some people refer to. It can be your higher power, or even God. But seeing that nobody knows what God looks like let's just think of millions of stars, because we can imagine that. Got the picture in your "MIND". OhK. Eyes still closed. Imagine one star. Focus on it in your "MIND". That one star is your soul. Aaah haaa. That soul has all of the unexplained knowledge you need so keep it separated in your "MIND". Then use the 'zoom' lens in your imagination and look right inside that one soul. What can you see, dot? Hmmmmm...... Don't know? Well inside that one soul, that individual soul, in fact YOUR soul, is THE MIND which has millions and millions of trillions (I call 'em trilmils!) of THOUGHTS wrapped up inside it. And like a ray gun it keeps firing all of these thoughts randomly into the spectrum, the original oneness that you imagined. So pretty simple really. Work backwards from the Big Kohuna. Consciousness consists of the soul which comprises the mind which creates the thoughts which CREATE every single iddy biddy l'il 'ole ONE of us.
Now if you were able to IMAGINE that then you can see that even though we separated those particular elements, in fact they were all ONE of the same consciousness. Everything, including you, including me, is ONE.....IMAGINE.......

"The Universe is a gigantic, multidimensional web of influences, of information, light particles, energy patterns and electromagnetic 'fields of reality'. Everything it is, everything we are, everything we do, is linked to everything else. There is no separateness"

....Shirl, oh, aaarrgghhmm pp-lleeease!.....
Well seeing that I have introduced our famous new mystic, Shirley Maclaine, and given her the dubious honour of being the Triggerdot 'Quote Of The Century' two days running, I thought it was only fair to liven things up a bit with some Shirley nostalgia (Oh K Shirl, you can put your leg down now, we've seen enough!). Obviously this was taken a fair while ago but she certainly did have a good set of 'pins', huh? As a matter of fact I have some sort of recollection that she insured them for a million bucks or something? Hmmm... Anyway, as Shirley has aaarrgghhmm... "matured" in life she has become very interested in HER, I mean her SELF, I mean her 'ME', just like sorta I've got interested in my 'ME', and all of the associated stuff like Karma, and
Re-incarnation, and Indian sages, and well, you know....... 
Picture
....thaaat's betterer, Shirl.... performing for me..
Anyway I'm glad I have come across all things Shirley because I can identify all of this stuff with a 'real' live person, not a Maharishi, or Yogi Bear, or Lalai Dama, or Little Grasshopper or, well you know.......
See there is a point to all this mystical stuff but you have to be careful because there are a lot of.. wot you say ..aaarrgghhmm.. nice dots out there that would label dots like Shirl and Moi as breakfast ingredients like Fruit Loops, or cornie flakes, or..... well you know......
But most people who have seen Shirlie in films and on stage and interviewed etc would realise that she is some bright, extremely talented young lady. But as she matures she just wants to know what she's getting herself into later on. So what betterer way than to ask a whole lotta dopey dot questions..... like me! And as she has researched she has got a whole lot more interested...... to the point of obsession, weeeell sorta maybe kinda. And the reason for that obsession is because when you begin to delve, a lot of the mystical and mysterious questions, the unexplainable ones become..... aaarrgghhmm...... sorta......aaarrgghhmm..... explainable (backgound Twilight Zone music). Oh shooot, my head hurts!But you see it's not just Moi and Shirl that are beginning to LEARN from the Eastern Mystics. Nuh. Uh uh. It seems to be the latest life trend. Wee Western Willie warmers are FIIINALLY starting to get the hang of this "What's Life All About?" stuff. And without being pushy I think a lot more of you dots should be looking into it all a bit more.
So to celebrate OUR rebirth, to applaud OUR new revelations, and to worship our Divine Light, we held a little get together at La Chateau Tento last night. It was a wonderful 'awakening' and Shirley was our Celebrity Mystic. As a matter of fact I have a photo somewhere of the Mystics Anonymous inaugural jam. Now where...... Oh......Joy of Joys....... here it is........See ya!

Now that's a pretty panting, huh?
You know what I like about art, dot? Coooool, you're right, the creativity is probably the best thing about it, and that goes with all types of artistic work from painting, sculpture, writing books, songs, poems. But the other thing about art is that is just you and the art. ALONE. ONE. To begin with it is just you and your thoughts. The piece you are about to work on isn't even in existence yet. You, and you alone, are about to make it. How incredibly exciting is that! Like this beautiful painting. When we all look at it most of us will admire it's beauty. Some will find a story within it. But the artist....... How excited was the artist who created the original. Like everything we create the source of the manifestation is in the beginning...A THOUGHT, or series of thoughts. The thoughts create an IDEA. Many if not most artists write with emotion, often deep seated emotion, usually based on experiences in their own lives, wouldn't you agree. Whether it is a painting or sculpture or a song, even concerto, it MUST begin with a thought, no?
Picture
....All very cosy and happy models!.....
Through my reading I have learned that most of the great works throughout the course of history have been created by artists, musicians, philosophers, writers and the like, during times of reverie, or periods of relaxation, or when the creators needed to escape the Busyness of life to get their THOUGHTS crankin'. Hmmmmm......
Many of us are alone, maybe even lonely, but that is a small price to pay for a masterpiece of creation. Some well known creators have used drugs (usually amphetimines) and sometimes alcohol, to create the environment they need to project the feelings and emotions that must be present in their work. Interesting, no?
If you are paying attention you will have picked up that I wrote above "Many of US are ALONE.....", including myself in this little chat on artists. So you can see I am proud to consider myself an artist, even though I am a 'work in progress'.
Picture
"Hey Trigger"
Oh K. So I have done a few creative things so far on my journey and I find that pretty cooool. The book, poems, songs have been enjoyable and given me great belief that I will complete the journey. But when I wrote in my blog yesterday that I was 'smiling' there is a reason behind the smile. The good stuff that is going to make an impression is happening and I am confident that we will have some exciting news soon (like numero uno news item!) Each STEP on the journey is now becoming more significant and soon I expect the first CRITICAL POINT will eventuate, which means huuuuge exposure. As I have always said when I get to the Critical point stage, everything else will become 'hot property'. But the reason for THAT smile is because this all started by my being ALONE with my THOUGHTS. Nothing could have happened like it has without the solitude and the eminating thoughts. The thoughts have led to some great work, most of which is yet to manifest, but it will, because IT HAS...............

                                      .......I CAN'T STOP SMILING.......

Somethin' MYSTICAL

Do not fear, there is always wine
    if you are thirsty for love.
Do not fear, there is always water
    if your lips are parched.
Do not fear your ruin, inside you
    there is a treasure.
Open your eyes, for this world
    is only a dream.
                                            -    Rumi, Persian Mystic Poet, 1207 - 1273

Nice picture, huh?..........
Keep remembering you are watching MY journey. I'm telling my story BACKWARDS. There are a lot of you who didn't start at the beginning, although there are LOTS who have been, which is humbling indeed (Thanks dots :-)
The wonderful aspect of my journey is that it is as REAL as you are ever going to get. In terms of a TV Reality show (which I am negotiating at the moment), MY little story leaves Survivor and all of those other YUK type programs WAAAY behind in the 'interest' stakes. Because what I am doing is new and sorta unique, it is difficult to convince TV executives and the like, that it will work. But as I am building and the Journey continues I have more credibility due to the book, poems, videos, website, daily blog and of course the exposure I have received through the traditional media with newspapers, magazines, radio interviews and the ACA prime time interview just prior to the Olympics coverage back in August. All of this stuff I talked about in my book "Working Backwards". I have created a very good FOUNDATION for "Let Me Tell You A Story" or "Once Upon A Time", huh?
Picture
".........STEP....STEP....STEP........."
But I need to go right back to where the whole shebang started. More importantly I need to go back to the REASON for this journey. See for 30 years or so I left anything 'mystical' or 'spiritual' to the gypsies, hippies, druggies, Hare Krishnas and other 'out there' groups. I was born and raised a Catholic and that was good enough for me, even though I didn't really practice my faith as I should have. But then I got greedy and failed, as you know.
Enter homelessness, soup kitchens, tents, broke, snakes, and the other stuff. Oh K. All pretty cooool so far. Then when I got jabbed up the blurter by Lucifer's pitchfork I cried out for HEEEEELP. And I got it in the form of Mister SomeOne Out-There. Now this was the start of ME. I found myself. But I mean I reeeeally found ME. So then I made a choice to re-invent myself seeing that I had found the new ME. Pretty simple philosophy really. I was going to do what I wanted to do and that was CREATE. So I began writing books and poems and songs and designing new social networks and other stuff I love to do. My BELIEF levels are through the roof. I just worked out what I believe I am capable of, and then, well you know what I'm up to. BUT, the fuuuneee, strange thing is this:
Picture
....Another pretty picture, no?.....
Ever since I CHANGED my way of thinking from materialistic to spiritual, sorta inner self stuff, there have been continual and frequent unexplainable meaningful co-incidences that keep happening to me. Carl Jung had a name for meaningful co-incidences and wrote a book on his "Synchronicity". I am absolutely fascinated with these occurences. Blown away in fact! And because I am continually knowledge seeking and NEEDSEARCHING, I am starting to find REASON behind these happenings. In my next book "Our Decomposed Bodies Are Dancing" I have discussed some of these meaningful co-incidences but I am proud to admit that since beginning my Journey my FAITH has skyrocketed. Now I do not even consider any 'what if I don't make it?' type questions because I am already there, as I explained in my book. The next STEP I am taking is quite unbelievable if you are anyone but me, but I have seen the VISION, just as I had seen the other stuff that I have now completed. In my book I kept calling it PURE SIMPLE SELF BELIEF. But to get it you really have to find MSOT, your inner self. And when you do, for some reason the MYSTICAL things begin to happen. And it makes you THINK....and GIGGLE....and WONDER....and BELIEVE. Because it's not just you CONTROLLING YOUR DESTINY anymore. Because you have decided to find ME, ME has decided to find you. And so ME begins to teach you things that your old ME wasn't interested in before. All of a sudden things you thought weren't possible begin to happen. You realise that ME is SOUL, and SOUL teaches through consciousness and mind and.............
...........................well it makes me smile, just like I'm doing now trying to explain...............
Hmmmmmm..... , I'll keep working on it, so keep watching this journey of mine. It's going to make you shake your head in disbelief. But as I have said from the beginning, find your ME, then you will KNOW????????

KEEP SEARCHING, LEARN, BELIEVE and FIND

"The soul has no birth, no death, no beginning, no end. ...It has been always, and always it will be. This is the very being of man. For the soul is alive, it is the spirit of eternal being"

In my incessant, paranoic, obsessive, compulsive, manic, never ending search to discover the Meaning Of Life (of course nobody has ever tried it before, dheeer!) I have come up against a lot of different arguments and opinions about the roles and function of things like the brain, the mind, consciousness and of course the SOUL. Hmmmm......, veeeelly confusious!!!!
Is the mind in the brain? Is the soul in the body? Is consciousness a part of Universal Dalai Lama Day? Hmmmmm........ Well as you may have guessed I haven't quite figured it out.......YET! Now what I have also found out is that every body seems to have an opinion, like this one from Dr Paul Brunton, celebrated author, metaphysicist and oriental philosophist:
  • "What is it in us that is conscious? Is it the brain? Pah! By brain is meant that touchable and seeable portion of the human body canopied by the bony skull and filled with winding convolutions of grey and white substance, which anatomists handle in the dissecting room. By consciousness is meant the sum total of the changing series of sense-impressions, perceptions, thoughts, feelings, images, intuitions, ideas and memories which we know directly as our own and which cannot be got at by any dissection with a surgical knife".
Hmmm..., I like that Paul, I think you're pretty much right....... Paul also explains that our thoughts and emotions may be active in the self, but they do not form the whole self.
Picture
"Spooooooky......"
Well  having a penchant for all things visible and invisible, real and unreal, ghostlike and spirity, spooky and scaaaary, I decided that it was time one of us human beings thingies found out what a soul is. So what better place to start than the search engine for pictures. Oh K. Let's see.....
Hmmmm, well that didn't give me much. "Soul" brought up 50 pages of album covers and R & B jam sessions. There must be a picture of a soul somewhere, wouldn't you think? I mean people talk about souls and stuff all the time don't they? Nup. Nothin'. Oh K. Let's try "Spirits" in the search engine, shall we? Giggle, giggle, a few pictures of 'ghosts', cartoons and lots of alcohol bottles and cans! Nup. Nothin' again. Surely (scratching head)......
Well let's try a description of the soul, there must be something. Woohooo. Finally a description. In my eyes this really does describe the soul. The verse is from the Bhagavad Gita, one of the oldest and best-loved Hindu classics:
Unborn, undying
Never ceasing
Never beginning
Deathless, birthless
Unchanging forever'
How can It die
The death of the body?

Knowing It birthless
Knowing It deathless
Knowing It endless
For ever unchanging. ...

Innermost element,
Everywhere, always,
Being of beings,
Changeless, eternal,
For ever and ever.
There is a lot of stuff I read but if you ever get into really studying theology philosophy and other stuff, then THINK those words through. Read the verse a few times. It really is beautiful.
Anyway, I've finally come up with a picture of the SOUL. Well, MY version anyway seeing nobody else could come up with one.
See ya!

The SOUL is what you SEE EVERYWHERE, inside and out

It was finally over. She had been told so many times to stop. But she couldn't. So many times Jane would promise that she would quit and so many times she did. But it didn't last. The addiction had grabbed her very soul and torn her apart. There was nothing left. Only a worn out body. A tragedy was always waiting to become her best friend. Trouble followed her everywhere she went.
Jane  lied to herself. She kept convincing herself that she had to be the life of every party, of every happening. But she couldn't do it without the confidence builder. Just a sip here, a small chaser with her 'normal' wine. And a quick bong every now and then. She became invincible, untouchable. She wanted to be wanted. And wanted she was. First a couple of shots more and then drop a bit of speed to 'balance' the shots. The boys just loved her. She danced, she sang, she teased. Oh yeah, how she teased. At the end of the night she ended up with someone, boy, girl, sugar daddy. She needed someone, every night.
For ten years now she cried for him. She still missed him more than ever. She needed the confidence booster to deal with the pain. So she could forget, so she could escape the reality of loss and grief. As much as she tried nobody could replace his memory. He was her world, her heart, her mind, her soul, her very being. She still talked to him as if he were still there, cuddling into her, with his gentle kisses, the smell of his body making her smile, every single day.
But sometimes she would go a bit too far in her quest to forget. This night she pushed too far, teased too much. The boys all loved her, the whole eight of them. All night they loved her, just her and them.
Finally the last one left. She smiled as if she had enjoyed herself. But she knew this was it. The finish was near. She would finally be with him again. Her body was badly damaged. Her soul was destroyed. It was strange because she couldn't even cry. There was nothing. No feeling. Nothingness. Soul less.
Slowly she pushed herself to a position where she would fall off the bed. It was the only way to get to the bathroom. The body was done. Jane crawled to the bathroom like a savaged beast, still high from the drugs, still hurt from the action, still missing him. She lit the candles on the floor. She grabbed the syringe. It didn't matter that she couldn't find the vein.......
While she was waiting Jane smiled at her funny thought as she looked into the candles. She had finally seen the light. Now they will be together again. No bodies, one self, two souls finally one. The light was beautiful. She closed her eyes and let it take her. She could still see the light............

"Think I'll call it a day....."
Can you remember much about your early childhood? I can't. I get little snippets of my beloved dog, Ricky, who up and left me one Christmas day when I was about 5. I remember getting really upset. And I remember when I was about 9 or 10 being in a play "Oliver Twist" which performed at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne, in front of packed crowds and one night I was doing the old "da daaaa" at the end of our feature song "Food Glorious Food". All of the poor orphanage boys were packing up their metal bowls after singing the song and they were all stacked at the end of the table. After the song we all did the "da-daaaa" with outstretched arms awaiting the audience applause when yours truly accidentally knocked over the stack of metal bowls. For the next hour (well probably 30 secs but it seemed like an hour!) metal bowls went bouncing around the stage much to my embarassment and the amusement of the paying customers. Funny how some things stick in your mind forever, huh?
But while we are growing up the first 10 to 15 years of our lives are pretty much forgotten (well in my case anyway). There are other things that you deliberately want to block out. Things that are too painful to want to recollect. But even 10 years of your life, memories mostly forgotten is an awfully big slice out of our all too short existences. If you work on the average age of 80 years its about 15 per cent. If you take out sleep time then it's nearly a quarter of our lives seemingly a non-event.
Picture
"Hmmmm....love letter...Hmmmm..."
So then once we get over the 'cushy' part of our lives where our parents guide us through life in a euphoric daze of blissful happiness, we hit the tornado of Busyness (aaaarrgghh.....)......
School, University, Jobs, Career, Love, Marriage, Kids, Mortgages, Money, Debt, Grog, Drugs, Grief, Pain, Sorrow, Grandkids, DEAD!

Tick Tick Tick DEAD........

Guess what? I'd really like that 10 to 15 years back that blitzed through my early years. It would come in really handy at the moment. See, the last 30 years or so have sort of flashed past my very existence and I have got so much I NEED to do.
Hmmmm......
It's sorta getting a bit scary now. I'm sorta a lot closer to the finish than when I was young.
What if God or my maker really does ask me at the end "What did you do with your life?"
Oh Oh! Do we get another crack at life after this one? I mean, really, I didn't take much notice of the time, this time. Aaarrgghhmmm, but I will in the next one, if I get another 80 years. I'll know to be more careful with my TIME, next time, right? Oh pleeeease, I just need a bit more time and I'll do the stuff I know I could have if I had of realised.
Tick Tick Tick Tick..........
Oh pleeeease TIME, stop ticking. I need some more....
Oh shoot. OK what do I have to do?

"I sent my soul through the invisible
Some letter of that afterlife to spell
And by and by my soul returned to me
And answered "I myself am heaven and hell"
                                                Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyanr

Many of you will know of Seth Godin, a well known internet marketer who has written a lot of books about, of course, marketing. Probably his most famous book is a small (about 80 pages I think) book titled "Purple Cow". It was one of my first reads after my fall from grace, and it has some very good information for those who need some basic help with marketing their products. Seth uses a good example to explain the title (which in itself is quite catchy, don't you think?). It goes like this. Mum and Dad and the three kids are going to see ma and pa. It's a long trip through the country and young kids, being young kids, get very irritable. So when they get out into the country Dad sais "Look guys, moo cows". The kids look out the window and start mooo-ing and laughing. This goes on for quite a while until the kids get bored and don't even bother looking anymore. The indians are getting restless! Boredom reigns supreme and behaviour is testing mum and dad. Finally dad decides to 'eggs aggerate' a little and calls out "Look, a PURPLE COW". The three kids all anxiously look out the window for a purple cow, which of course was just a hoax. Hmmmmm..... naughty daddy!
The moral to the story is that the same product or process becomes boring after a while. We need to "think different" as Apple said in their famous advertising campaign. Seth sais we need to keep finding a purple cow, something different, something unique, which will begin the Word Of Mouth viral process to create something truly "BIG".
Picture
Somethin' different...purple cow even"
On the re-invention path I have taken just about everything I do has to be different or unique, otherwise why would people bother tuning in. And so it is with my journey. The book is different because it is about Working Backwards which usually is only used in mathematical problem solving. I also write like I talk which is also different. My poems are different and topical. I have tested them in public. The songs are next but I can't just be another musical wannabe in a very competitive area. So I have written some great songs based on my experiences and the NEEDS of listeners. I am going to sing my own songs with no previous experience. That in itself is VERY DIFFERENT and should get global exposure when I get it going (VEEEERY soon!). Then I have developed a new skin product. VEEEERY different and will become a household name early next year. Again it is very different and will be marketed differently. It is soooo cooool.
Then there is blog thingie of course which will eventually go viral when the exposure comes for the other stuff i am doing.
So all in all everything I am creating is different to what is out there. Because the projects are so big they take a long time to develop, but longer preparation will result in a better production. And the to finish off then there is DotsHQ my new network which is basically all about....aarrgghhmm.....hmmmmm..... aarrgghhmm... CREATIVITY. Of course CREATIVITY needs to be about something NEW or UNIQUE or DIFFERENT, just like Seth's PURPLE COW. So if you are thinking of taking a re-invention of your own it's time for you to

"Wooops, I think I just pooped ma panties.."
Some of you will be aware that I do a lot of walking, mainly due to not having a vroom vroom, although I do like walking as it keeps me fit and gives me a lot of extra "THINK" time which is most important on this journey of mine. Some of you will also know that I play this little game with myself where I close my eyes and see how many steps I can take without 'chicken wing' out. Well like anything first you try it on a very even surface, like a park without any obstacles like trees that you can run into. To begin with you can get a few steps in before 'open sesame". But then the more you try it the more steps you can take. After a while you make it a bit more difficult and do it with a few obstacles/trees around.
It's a bit similar to opening your eyes in complete darkness, unaware of your surroundings. It's pretty scary, no?
Anyway there are two major emotions that come into play in these type of situations. I'm sure you can guess them. One is a bad emotion. C'mon dot, what is it? Cuuumon dot...... I'm waiting....... doooottie...... Oright give me five and cut that jive! Yes, well done dot. That bad emotion that prevents the steps going forward is obviously FEAR. Naughty naughty emotion.
But then there's the good emotion. Stack up on plenty of this one and you'll STEP right into happiness. Wot dot? C'mon......yes yes yes....hip hip hooray....
BELIEF.
Oh you are sooooo good at these games dot! Joy to the world!
Now the reason I am telling you this stuff is because, if you are even sorta contemplating a change of life journey, a re-invent ME journey, then you have to prepare yourself mentally and internally. That means learning how to drop the FEAR and replace it with BELIEF, more to the point, your own home grown SELF-BELIEF.
The road is long, the journey unforgiving because you are stepping out of your comfort zone and into unknown territory. If you choose to take on the journey of your life, and completely re-invent yourself, you will need to be prepared for a whole lotta scaaaary stuff. It is simply like being born AGAIN and taking your first steps!
Picture
........Boooo !.......
So like a well worn horror movie, turn your fear into triumph over adversity. KNOW that you have made the right decision to change your life. Once the decision is made then BELIEVE and keep believing until you get where you want to go. Don't just re-invent your career, your profession, your job. Re-invent the way you live, your attitudesto life, family and friends. Become more virtuous. And TRUST yourself. TRUST your decision to re-invent. Because once you start you can't stop. Your VISION will be REAL if you do it properly. There can be no stopping you. There will be problems every day. I get them. I confront them and move forward. I get totally frustrated with the slowness of the train that I am on. But that's all part of the journey. Don't take the decision to commence your journey lightly. It's your NEW LIFE. You don't get a lot of them. So...

"Whattadcha say your name was again?..."
I'm nearly dead, right? And that's OK. It motivates me to live. But there's a question that I have been struggling all of my life with. Not the meaning of life stuff. A pretty normal sort of question, I would think. But it's starting to get to me. It bugs me. There's something I've been missing for a while. Well, a whole life 'while' to be honest.
The question is "WHAT IS LOVE?". Now that's a pretty normal sort of question. Nothing weird about it, is there? No. Didn't think so. So.... why is it bugging me soooo much lately? Hmmmmm.........
Time for a bit of Trigger deep meaning analysis kinda thinking. Right, let's try and get to the bottom of this.........

"Can ya smell'em dot?"
Let's start with a picture. A rose, a beautiful rose. Well a few roses, actually (one for you, dot!). Symbolic of L-O-V-E, wouldn't you say. Alright. We're getting somewhere now. I see LOVE so many times a day. The way couples touch each other, look at each other, smile, whisper..... and so on. I'm sure you get the drift. And I smile when I see LOVE between people. It looks so, aarrggmm, so aarrgghhmm, so........ like.........WEIRD! I mean why does this LOVE stuff seem to happen to everyone but me? WHY WHY WHY.... Am I feeling sorry for myself. Hmmmmm..... maybe. I mean it seems so natural, so aarrgghhmm... so beautiful. Everyone should get huuuge doses of it in their lives, right. In fact, I'm sure many would agree that LOVE is the essence of life, no???
OK, somebody help me here. I'm nearly dead. The decomposed bodies are dancing, awaiting my arrival. And I'm looking forward to having a dance with them. But I want a dose of this LOVE stuff that everybody gets so hooked on. I mean I really honestly LOVE watching other people in LOVE.
Well HEEELLLOOOOO, could someone like watching me too? I mean...really?
You will.... oh how nice of you.....
That's so coooool and groooovy. When?
How will I know?
Will I have to pay?
Oh shoot. It's all too hard. I'm nearly dead for heaven's sake. A rose? Huh?
Oh, that'd be nice. Nuh, your trickin' with me. Just fairytale stories.....
L-O-V-E. Hmmmm.......
Nice word even without meaning. Prefer it with meaning though. It's supposed to make you feel good.
A bit like chocolate, I suppose.
Somebody told me it's not going to happen until something happens to me.....

"Hmmmm, maybe I should figure out how to fall in LOVE with ME first, d'ya think"
