Another bird by (Angélica Vis)
The world is unnecessarily small and coincidental, making the search for connectivity both frustrating and ultimately silly.
Upon a Friday some 11 months ago I’d posited about my uninterest in crossword puzzles and the like, though there had been some suggestions that such mind games helped keep those becoming ancient from losing their cognitive skills. I’ve instead, somewhat inherently throughout life, focused on attempting to understand humans and connections and the weirdness of the paths of others minds that so often feel utterly foreign to my own brains functions and internal travels, perhaps wishing that I were more Sherlock Holmes than Bobby Fischer.
One aspect of becoming older is that upon my 3-4 hours of round-trip work commuting I tend to rarely listen to music anymore, tending instead to absorb NPR. Throughout my life as I talk with others I’m constantly found muttering asides within conversations of, “Well on this random subject I’d heard a story the other day on NPR where…..blah blah blah.” And in that same realm to the flabberghastment of the concept of scientific replication, researchers who where looking into this very concept of whether or not the various games and mind-exercising apps were beneficial in staving off dementia that the various PI’s had not landed in the middle, but instead were at completely opposite ends of the spectrum with some assuring the world these games absolutely staved off Alzheimer’s and other similarly educated scientists insisting that was complete garbage.
That said, I feel less idiotic in my own methodology for exercising my internal noggin and will continue to navigate and investigate mysteries which don’t exist, but whose tangencies it makes my brain happy to pretend have meaning.
At that same posting last year I’d been thrown because a new person befriended my journal, which was odd because of several things. First, I don’t really write much anymore and don’t have some set of hundreds of acquaintances linked to the journal where I might be stumbled upon through such a potential wandering. Second, initially, and for weeks, I was literally the only person they added to their friends list on the same day the journal was created. Over time a few tiny posts, a few folks added as other friends, comments here and there in other journals.
I’d had some long-ago lost or angered friends in likewise long-ago lost and abandoned (though not deleted) journals who made up new profiles for just the purpose of thankfully stalking my moving on in life, because really, what an ego boost, right? And in those past moments there would be little clues, minute paths I could follow or discern. But with this person nothing developed, no breadcrumbs existed, nothing of consequence emerged and it appeared more and more, stupid as that seemed, that I really was some random first journal added for reasons I still cannot fathom.
I’d at first been most captured in intrigue by their one and only user picture because the hand so resembled the well-memorized hand of someone I’d quite sincerely loved. It was further so perfectly oriented to fucking with my brain because I’d written a post or two in the past about black-capped chickadees that the purposefulness seemed suited for a clue for my wanton brain of gaming.
