i've given it some thought
see this shit is meaningless cuz alledgedly so much will change
but...
okay so it would be nice for the "plants" to automatically notify if
they need watering or sunlight or what have you. of course, if i was
richer i'd way it's be nice if they automatically were watered and
fed and shit without the nuisance of a maid or hired hand. it would
be nice to be constantly monitored for heart rate, blood pressure,
temp, bowel movements, nutrients consumed, overall metabolic
processing and shit, it will be nice to have access to the net 24/7,
which i don't, and all that stuff about the house and car or
transportation turning on for you, it would be really groovy if
movies and literature and media in general came with a barrage of
tags/flags/links to similar/reference/definition/history/allegory
stuff. tie it all together. tie it all down. use it as a trampoline
and bounce into the ether... ether.... ether... (cool fade/echo there
did you catch it). i would love to have a filter for this world a
better one than what i've got. to constantly record and edit and
deform/transform/generate/degenerate what i consume sensually receive
inputs. like if someone were yelling at me talking above a certain
decibel range it would be heard as a chipmunk or if some filter could
detect cursing or hostility and make it into "bliss" that would be
cool. as long as my awareness didn't extinguish the illusion the
fantasy and blow out the fire in my belly my little burning embers
that charm and woo my men into the night under the moon. how many
moons do i have left? it would be awesome to acurately detect
magnetic fluxes and space weather solar flares and sunspots and el
nino and see how they affect the weather and terrain and my
personality that day to really get it down. the numbers would have to
come up. it's not just pi you know. okay i hope it rocks my world. i
hope i have to take a time out to make sure i'm still breathing. i
don't think it will take place that. slow. churning. events begging
to utilize new technology aching to become commonplace like owning a
car and a dvdplayer and an mp3 player. all this entertainment. touch
screens for food orders when i give blood the separter uses a touch
screen. we are so bound by our physicality. want to hear more see
more touch more. it would be nice if i could eliminate all the stuff
i have and want cuz it's all in the ether and i experience it that
way.i don't know how that works. i associate static focused state
with using media currently. it's hard to live it. it's not mountain
biking. how does it become mountain biking?
