2008 - Autumn

El Gordo;

To add my own thoughts. I think it's entirely normal to have the odd weekend off-the-rails.

By nature we are emotional, creative, instinctive and spontaneous. And yet we're often engaged and immersed within a world that betrays this. We engineer processes and create abstract versions of our world. We normalize, order, design and index.

I think this creates a great deal of subconscience dissonance. Going for a run is one way of dealing with this and it can help to get rid of some of the clutter.

But another way is to get abit pissed. It allows us to enter a different state of mind where we can wipe the slate of all this abstract order.

Perhaps balance could be achieved in another way. But it feels like an irresistable impulse nonetheless.
