Recent Thoughts

Okay, so that last one was really long.  Yeah, I know.  Sorry about that.  I came across an old directory filled with stuff I had written some time ago, and since I had never shared them anywhere it seemed like posting them here might be a reasonable thing to do.  On a positive note, I have no plans to post the really long stuff.

So lately I find myself thinking about habits.  Bad habits, naturally, because one never sits back and says "hey, that is a really good habit of mine - I should keep doing that."  Funny how we don't even call good stuff 'habits'.  No one says "I'm in the habit of breathing" or "I make a habit out of eating healthy foods".  I'm not saying they're not habits, just that I, for one, never think about them that way.  [Nor do I eat enough healthy food to call it a habit, by the way.  That was just an example.  I eat them occasionally, of course, but more at the level where I might call it a quirk.  Or perhaps "an event", or a "once-a-year thing to keep people guessing" thing.  Definitely not a habit.]

So I am thinking about habits, and that get me thinking about compulsion and obsession.  And then I realize that I have been thinking about compulsion and obsession for nearly a week.  Nonstop. 

This makes me chuckle.

But the funniest part is that I have no intention of stopping this train of thought until I figure it out.  Maybe I will think about it while eating a cookie...
