Whenever I can't sleep...

I blog.

I write to give the many swirling thoughts in my head a physical, logical, permanent location, its own place in the world. When it takes physical shape, meaning, it becomes powerful, autonomous, with a mind of its own.

It's amazing how millions of letters can be crammed in my tiny brain. Without the skill and years of training, I can only get a tiny fraction of it out, and the rest of the 99.99999% of my thoughts fizzle away into emptiness, nothingness...

Like one's existence, what truly happens once he/she stops existing? When you go from a living, breathing human person to becoming a cold,stiff, rotting carcass, where does your eternal soul gets placed? Is it truly that 21grams that constitutes your soul just disappears forever? Then your time on Earth, what is it really? A tiny asterisk pointing to a footnote hidden within an appendix buried in an obscure reference?

But I digress.

My thoughts, myriad in its actualization, probably can fill up the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Heck, it may be enough to deck out Wikipedia. Hah, did you know that there's a Wiki entry about Britannica? Maybe one day, someone will edit the wiki entry to talk about the demise of Britannica. After all, doesn't the victors rewrite history? Sure, the bards will sing the tales of how you valiantly fought with your very last breath, but surely, they won't be saying anything about how the winner double-crossed and stabbed them in the back. At least not while the victors (and their direct descendants) are still alive.

Ok, I think I have done a sufficiently lengthy memory dump. My head feels much lighter, clearer, and ready for bed. My thoughts feel particularly heavy in my head, perhaps they can actually be weighed one day. Has any physicist / biologist considered that before? Then again, if a thought is might up of electrical impulses jumping through the synapses in the brain, having a lot of thoughts = a lot of electrical impulses. Since an electrical impulse is a particle transmitting electromagnetic waves, it's a form of energy. Energy = mass x acceleration, therefore the more thoughts I have, the heavier I become.

Wow.

Is that worthy of a Nobel?
