Musings

Big Frank has been a little lax lately on posting. Maybe that's because of the summer heat which dries up the mind and saps the vital fluids of the spirit. Or else not. In any case it is high time for a few random mind wandering thoughts in line with previous musings of the "I wonder" category. So here they are - in no particular order.

1. Are we all too connected or too unconnected? Connected via electronic gadgets, but unconnected personally?
2. Are all fields of study like the universe in its infinite expansion both from the macro and micro viewpoint?
3. Is there such a thing as a dream within a dream?
4. What would a totally asexual life be like? Could one say that it would be better or worse than a sexual one?
5. Why does highway hum travel such long distances and sound off at such unexpected places?
6. What is it like to live a life in which your truly personal thoughts and feelings are shared with nobody at all?
7. To not forgive is demonic or angelic?
8. Will televison as we know it disappear in the next 10 years?
9. What would life be like without taboos?
10. If there were no secrets - how would that change life at the macro societal level and at the intimate level?

Feel free to answer any or all of the above. Big Frank would like to hear what you all think? Or (as Duke always said) else not.

In response to question no.1, I refer you to the opening lyrics of Greg Brown's "Cept You and Me Babe":

Half the people you see these days are talking on cell phones
Driving off the road & bumping into doors
People used to spend quite a bit of time alone
I guess nobody's lonely anymore
'cept you & me babe 'cept you & me

It's raining sheets of rain everything is cold and wet
Nobody's going out of doors
They're all at home living it up on the internet
So i guess nobody's lonely any more
'cept you and me babe 'cept you and me
