Recreational thought for the day 19-9-09

Yes it's late, so sue me 1

Alrighty, todays recreational thought is based very much on a reflection of myself, specifically various reflections of myself. 2

I have always had a fascination with masks, heck I could nearly classify it as a fetish except I always associate that term with sexual connotations where as I don't associate this in that sense. But I ponder on my love of all things visual and designed to change one's appearance exactly how good I am at wearing and changing masks without ever physically being in possession of one. 3

I am the chameleon of the soul, I have to wonder if you'll ever meet the same me twice, over years I have become that good at adapting to my situations that I can rarely tell anymore whether the mask is on or off, whether I am me, or a variation of me, and whether these persona's were ever really me at all. 4

(The deeper you think into that, it actually becomes slightly concerning)5

And I think to myself about how I can encourage thought amongst my readers (which i've noticed is actually becoming more and more thank you for that.) and so I pose this question... Do you wear a mask? And what purpose does it serve if any? 6

And most importantly....will your face ever feel fresh air again? 7

Phil.

    Of course. Its purpose? It's like glue, if I were to take it off, I would simply fall apart.

  • Today's recreational thought is a little late, and therefore probably going to be inadequate in comparison to other journals as of late, mainly because i'm sleepy. 1 Actually there's the thought for the day, commitment! 2 Now commitment comes in many shapes and forms, be it to pursuits, to promises, hell

  • I had a strange thought today while on my break in work, the past few days I have been far from healthy, chronic headaches eventually evolving into migraines, and a general lethargy about me, and I thought to myself, maybe I should see a doctor. Then it occurred to me, why on earth can't we diagnose ourselves? 1

  • It occurs to me, that nothing is more fragile of a person, than one's own self conscious. Whether it be how others perceive us, how we wish to be perceived or more importantly how we perceive ourselves, each alone is a link, together a chain, one weak link weakening us as a person, someone, or something picking at

  • Hey all, Just popped by the site to update the journal (after a long spell away) and to check up on a few things and i've noticed how intensely quiet it is here. As a result, i'm hoping to launch something soon that'll hopefully help us get our name on the map, a contest of sorts to encourage
