The trick is, maybe, to not find something new to look at,
but rather, find new ways to look at things you've already seen.
Or even, perhaps, to realise that sometimes you've seen something so much
that you've never really seen it.

For example, why do most prints of the last supper,
add a gold challis at Christ's left hand?
When there is really just another cup and a bit of bread there in the original?
Also most people, if asked from memory,
would tell you that the chalice which they believe to be in the painting is there,
and it's allegedly the holy grail.
And if asked who's in the painting they would say Jesus and the 12 apostles.
Funny, I see 11 men, 1 woman to Jesus's right, and Jesus.
Think I'm bullshitting you? Look for yourself

Existential blah aside,
perhaps there's a new way to look at the inside of my eyelids.

The problem with sleeping too much is that one eventually hits a point where one never wants to stop sleeping.
I need to find the middle ground somehow, I can't quite adjust to this schedule.

I'm like a vampire, except without all the bloodlust and violence,
yaknow, the fun bits.

Still a little drunk from breakfast.

Now, I enjoy a good discourse on the bullshit of organised religiosity,
as much as the next atheist or pastafarian.

But that was entirely not the point,
my point was all of the things we've seen so much that we no longer see anymore.

Like that street corner you pass every day on the way to work,
that you're sure you could describe in detail because you've seen it so much,
but you no longer see or remember that rosebush.

Seeing things so much that you no longer see them,
so perhaps you should look again.

An existential stop and smell the roses.

And so on.

I suppose I should be getting dressed for work now.

Yeah.

My favourite nickname for alexander is xander.
No point, just sayin.

Damn, I got to work far too quickly,
even with stopping to pick up "lunch" for later.
So I'm sitting in an alley near the office, listening to radio.
