pencil shavings

There is always a higher inconclusive categorizing that allows for two things to be grouped rather than separated.

the more abstract the thought,
the more holistic it becomes,
the less point specific it becomes,
the more theoretical it becomes,

Let's say you ask me about the fucking war in Iraq. The war IN IRAQ holds it in "reality" because we got a concept bonded with a location. But let's say I start talking about WAR--then from there we go to competition, aggression, theories of why. Then we talk about the Vietnam War--you go "Motherfucker: hold up those are two different wars" and I say

"War is war, right?"


One thing to note is that reality is the collapse of the abstract sense of a word into the form of "Iraq" or "Vietnam."

I have this dirty habit of never saying precisely what is obvious for comedic effect. I guess they call it sarcasm--the previous statement an example of what I am talking about. I say one thing, mean another, kind of having my meanings have an out of body experience.
