DIRTYBENNY WRITES

I sense Paul Simon to be genuine.  His musical styles are consistent with his personality.  I sat next to him at midnight in the French Quarter in New Orleans ...a long time ago.  His recounting of the musical writing process rings true to me.  He describes Sounds of Silence and Bridge Over Troubled Waters as basically writing themselves. 

    

 Fascinating review of the self.  The concept of who are we when we are in non-dreaming sleep has consumed me over the past several days.  This has made me reconsider whether we truly exist outside of this realm.  Dreams were always evidence for my non-physical self, but consideration of non-dreaming sleep has pushed me to modify my model.

 Despite the biblical overtones, this is a fascinating documentary on the supernatural forces involved in "magic."

  I buy one item only from Whole Foods...tonic water as it is supposedly made from cane sugar. Most have high fructose corn syrup which I try to avoid.  It is relatively cheap. Most items are   ridiculously expensive in my opinion.  They opened a 40,000 square foot Whole Foods near me today.  I thought I would pick up a case of tonic.  The place was mobbed.  There was not a single empty parking space.   I parked at Lowe's and walked over.  It was insanely crowded. I checked a price on a smoked salmon spread.  Ten dollars for a small container. I found the beverage aisle.  Of course they had no tonic water.  I walked back to Lowe's.   I went to a local seafood market.  Smoked salmon spread was 6 dollars for an even smaller container.  I don't know how apparently average people shop at these places, yet they are all crowded. 

 

Dreams are a key component of this reality.  This video does a great job explaining dreaming, waking and totally unconsciousness. I remain unconvinced that we are timeless endless spirits.  We just don't know.
