I keep thinking about things I want to write about, but I forget what they are when I get to the computer.  However, a theme lately has been what are other peoples' lives like.  I was in the woods today thinking about how the way people relate to being out doors may have to do with their level of introversion (or extroversion).  Which seems like a reasonable thing to be thinking about.  But how many people think about that ever?  When other people are in the woods what is going on in their minds?

I like music okay, but the idea of just listening to music doesn't make sense to me.  I guess because it's primarily about experiencing a sensation and not about integrating information.  Or maybe it's hard for me because it doesn't involve feeling stressed.

Which is another thought I've had recently.  If you don't suffer from anxiety or depression, what do you do with your time?  What does it feel like to be doing nothing and feeling positive about life?  Sometimes I will be feeling good about life, the universe, and everything (Thanks Doug Adams), and not thinking much.  Maybe lying on the beach or first thing in the morning before my brain turns on.

If you have a thought like "hmm, I wonder when the first 5 story building was built", how does one not try to find the answer (if there is an available means before you forget).  If it is something interesting enough for you to have thought of, how is it not interesting enough to type a few words into Google or at least speculate on for a few seconds.

Basically, what is it like to not be me?

And why do I feel like I am so much more awesome than people who aren't constantly barraged with thoughts and feelings, but simply enjoy being.  (Which is different than meditation because meditation is purposeful and is different from zoning out because there is no inherent fun in zoning out).
