Seventh Blade's blog

Today I was playing some football with my friends, and during break to get water I was just staring at the trees imagining how they are connected with the Earth and how they grow all about, and how if I was looking from a bird-eye view I'd see these wondrous leafless trees everywhere consuming the Earth as they are stealing the life from it. My peer promptly questioned why I was dumbly transfixed on a group of trees and then it sort of hit me; I know why I'm staring at these trees, but why isn't anyone else?

I've always looked at things this way, but I guess I never before figured how stupid I must look (which is probably why for years people who don't know me too well have thought I was incredibly dumb or an avid stoner). But why are these average images so amazing to me and no one else? Well, I realized today that I'm inducing myself into a semi-hallucinatory state when I try and make real life more interesting. I'm not actually hallucinating, but I'm fusing my imagination with reality in a way that makes things seem much different than they are. Although the greatest feature of this is the feelings I can produce. For example, take my earlier story about the tree; when I wonder about it from a bird-eyes view, I actually feel as if I'm looking around the world at all the trees. It's pretty trippy actually. I've even looked at clouds before and made it seem as if rather than the cloud moving, everything was moving around the cloud. It's pretty hard to describe the feeling, but it's similar to being high (except you're sober of course).

But I'm sure no one here actually gives a flying shit, I just wanted to post this to see if anyone else does the same thing. Otherwise I might just be insane, because I don't know anyone else who views things like that.
