microwaves or brainwaves


So, i had this thought the other day, it was really odd...as well as thought provoking. i had just made myself a steamer and as i was heating it up in the microwave when i was hit by an innocent thought. every time i stand in front of the microwave and watch the minutes on the panel dissapear i have just wasted precious, precious time. time that is not only void of all meaning or purpose, but time i've spent performing an act which i dont even enjoy performing. anyways, the challenge? well its certainly not to do something instead of watching the microwave as you heat up whatever it is that suits your fancy, if thats what you think, you've totally missed my point. but the challenge to those who take it is to think about the fact that every moment you spend, no matter what you spend it on, or whether its a moment or a lifetime is irreplacable and unatainable after the fact. its a sobering thought to me. to some of you though, it may just roll off your shoulders because you are to busy enjoying the pleasures of life to give any thought to the eternity that you will be spending in one place or the other...
just food for thought.

See! I told you you are brilliant! Even the microwave becomes an important part of our spiritual lives. But you know, you'll get cancer standing in front of the microwave. The screen only blocks most of the waves. So don't do it anymore because you're wasting your life and ruining your pretty head. By the way, your hair doesn't look like a dog, but really pretty and you should leave it down! Seriously, too much thought put into hair. what is this generation being taught? my my my.....I love you my brilliant philosopher!
