A look Inside My Mind

The Product
Stream of consciousness lack of  (peanuts) ego. Writing down only what my (highlighter) mind is thinking. Sex, cats, dog. How can anyone write (water bottle) anything serious when you're not supposed to use your ego in Automatic Writing. Iphone, remote, underwear. I just realized how long it takes to keep the Thought Process up and focused. The pen should never leave the page, you should never re-read what you have written (towel) you should (TV) just keep writing (Sonny, Sonny, Sonny). This is actually a lot harder than writing normally. Normally meaning thinking (sauna is hot) about what you're writing instead of just streaming different (cloud) ideas like a video (Popeye's biscuit for breakfast). Online, video, Jurassic Park. I used to be scared of (foot) Jurassic Park and Jumanji as a child. I'd though (finger) the dinosaurs would (1,2,500) come after me. (Enough words) title, underline, 500 words. Sneeze ! that one hurt...My brain can't think when and after I sneeze. All I see is blank, the sneeze or the sneeze's? is done. For me, Automatic Writing is hard. This is the product, what is the process (water bottle)? 174 words, not enough. Does this Dada technique, is it suppose to open my mind to other possibilities of writing? I wonder if it's working.

The Process
I took out Alycia's notes on writing and looked at her definition of Automatic Writing, "Stream of consciousness, lack of ego of the author". I put my pen on a piece of paper  and just began to let my mind and hands do the work. I realize I get distracted very easily that's why their is a ton of random words my writing bracketed off in parenthesis. That's how my mind wanted to write it. I just kept writing until (the only time I used my ego) I felt the piece was long enough and it was finished. I went to my blog, typed it up, and for the first time I actually read through what I wrote...

Writing About Writing but Not Writing About Writing About Cats

How do you write about writing but not writing? Also, how do you write about writing without saying 'I'? Technically Lena just said 'I' so she just broke the rules. Technically, right now, Lena is writing but shes not going to write about writing shes just going to write. But then if Lena writes about cats and only cats is that writing? Yes, it's writing but it's not writing about writing it's just writing about cats. Lena could write a whole book on cats. Big cats, small cats, medium sized cats...if there is such a thing? But if Lena were to write a book about cats would you consider that a book about writing or a book about cats? Or would you consider it a book about writing about cats. Here's a sample:
There was a cat named Sonny
 Sometimes he acted really funny
 He'd fart on Lena's pillow
Then look out the window and
And hop around like a bunny.
 Lena would be writing but not about writing, she'd be writing about her cat but in writing about her cat she'd be writing but not writing about writing. WRITING.
  And also, what kind of cats would Lena write on? And what about this blog? Is this blog about cats or is it about writing, what do you think? Lena thinks it's a blog about cats but Lena's confusing that's why you can't understand her blog or her writing or her cats.

Remote Controlled Cooler

 Besides the fact that I spent around $80 just on the product, not including the shipping and handling, I couldn't even take the cooler in the pool with me. The product's image clearly shows a guy with a remote control by the pool... I expected that the cooler would be able to come in the pool..needless to say I was highly disappointed. Not to mention I had to buy another cooler because my original cooler stopped working while I was in the pool. I was also disappointed that I had to reach into the cooler to get my drink..the product is called an "interactive toy" well my toy must be broken because it totally didn't interact with me. It didn't hand me my drink, nor did it offer me what kinds of drinks it had in the cooler. I also found it wasn't as handy as I'd thought it'd be. I'm an elementary school teacher and I brought the cooler with me to school in the hopes that I could have a beer or two while the kids go on recess. Well because of the remote control aspect of the cooler, while I was out the kids snuck into my classroom and started to play with it. They eventually discovered what was inside and drank all off my beer (beer is expensive on my teachers salary). Now I'm under arrest for negligence and providing alcohol to minors. I am out now on parole. Thanx Remote Controlled Cooler, for ruining my life. Overall I give this cooler 2 out of five stars.
