Roads

Okay, so this is gonna be a pretty quick blog since nothing especially interesting happened to me today, so bear with me, or actually it shouldn't be too hard to do that, 'cause this blog is gonna be short, right? Right. I know that I'm right. Lets go.

So I was driving down the road today, and as I stopped at a traffic light, I suddenly looked at the road like it wasn't even a road, and the world looked completely different to me. Now, what do I mean by looking at the road like it wasn't a road, you may ask? Well, here's the thing (stumbling in writing, smooth): usually when a person drives down a road, he or she thinks in a very linear way, linear meaning like the road is one straight line, a single path that goes on and on forever until the driver reaches the destination or gets bored and veers off of it, but for a few seconds I saw it like I wasn't on it or part of it at the same time as being on it. I was like a spectator or judge, but a player as well.

To further explain this, I ask you to notice that the road curves sometimes; now I'm sure that you know the road curves, but what you don't notice, or rather don't care about, which is kind of the long lost brother of not noticing, is that that you curve with it as you're driving along it, that you're kind of forced by an unknown force to follow it like a line. This is what ran through my head in that moment in pictures rather than words and in feelings rather than logic. I got a glimpse of what the road looks like as if it wasn't there, and it was a very trippy feeling. I really can't explain it in words (as I've eluded to you by trying to in this stupid grammarless blog), but (and here I go putting it into words, what a hypocrite I am) it was sort of like looking at the world as if I was just sitting on the ground instead of in the seat of my car. It was like I could feel the ground and could feel the objects around me. Now this only happened for a few split seconds, so I could've been imagining things or something, but yeah, it was interesting.

That's all I have to say today. Sorry for the brevity, or is it terseness? Whatever. Goodbye for now, until we meet again, folks.
