Re: When a Rest is not a Rest - Defined

[Guest guest]

For a song writer you just don't have much imagination, do you ? Try to

imagine yourself as a tall-short, pudgy-skinny, long haired-bald,

loud-whinny voiced, guitar-piano playing man in a black toga with a crucifix

around your neck, a clove of garlic in the left hand and a wooden stake in

the other, defending yourself against vampires. What's so hard about that ?

Some people need everything explained to them ! No wonder you call yourself

the confused Taz !

Hi Mike :-)

> For a song writer you just don't have much imagination, do you ? Try to

I thought I had mentioned Pop songs :-) Since when do they require

imagination ? :-)

As for my imagination, I think I get along okay.

I started to write a bit on the weekend for a short story, and this was

based on me seeing a type of evaporation from the plants; I imagined that I

was seeing the last bits of the night conversion of Co2 to O2 from the

plants :-)

A reductionist I mentioned this to immediately said it was the ice melting.

I thought my version was better :-)

Sounds like a description of one side of one of my characters in one of my

stories.

Diane,

A reductionist views almost all aspects of life in simplest possible terms

that run in accord with " current scientific dogma " . In any event, a

reductionist will perceive only a scientific explanation and will apply that

to an often extreme degree which filters out any more " imaginative "

explanation.

Weird weed ... well I am a Tasmanian sprout, so maybe :-)

If I be weird ... then, well, what can I say ? :-)
