Reality Check
Having spent a considerable amount of time off in digital worlds or those of my minds creation, I often find myself relating to the ‘real’ world through the filter of digital rules.
One of these that i find particularly tempting to my mind is the limits of reality.
In a computer game they try to create a real seeming world via illusion, but due to the lack of resources and often lack of effort it’s not that hard to find errors or limits to the possibilities within game worlds.To enjoy the illusion it’s best to ignore these errors and let the world draw you in, but still our pattern recognition system in our minds constantly throw up warnings that somethings out of place.
Now the fun begins when you apply this sense that something might be ‘out of place’ to THIS reality. What if you spotted the reality error in real life?
Not a ‘neo’ ;P concept of course much has been made of such thinking in various Sci-fi stories.But sometimes me my dad and bro will get into never ending metaphysical discussions, and during these sometimes it feels like if you just study reality enough somehow somewhere you’ll find a mistake or glitch or something that just dosen’t make sense.
So far it turns out reality is incredibly perfect and beautiful, but you never know maybe someday someone will find something that dosen’t add up….and then well, then things will get interesting.
By the way, Todays Angel was my favourite, but i didn’t get chance at a proper machine and the device i’m on can’t post pulses >:( so….. Todays Angel:Eloquence.
To speak with beauty and clarity, is and has been a desire of mine for years. (one i’ve yet to master)

Metaphysical is the word i was looking for. I would say that your desire came true, you speak with beauty and clarity. Of course there is no limit to improvement. How sad and boring it would be if there was a limit to learning.
haha neo…i just saw the third matrix movie recently..cracked under peer pressure
When you mentioned glitch Matrix was just popping through my mind… lol That would be crazy. This was one of my favorite movies for a while.
Eloquence- very nice.
nicely put. I never thought of it like that. That is interesting. Now I will look for all these Reality Glitches…beside of course Snooki and the Situation…/facepalm =D
Eloquence. I think you are well on your way to mastering this.
I think you are on to something about the “glitches”in reality. I see them and smirk a little, sort of like my own little secret because everyone goes on like normal never noticing.
@locomotiv - Thats really nice of you to say
though i have to admit my writing is better than my spoken eloquence.
Haha and yes if we ever ran out of new things to learn or experience that would perhaps be the biggest reality glitch of all
@wyrdkismet - Wow thats a pretty good hold out, how recently?
The first one was the most complete and satisfying i think….but come on the big battle in Zion was FREAKIN’ epic!!!
that if loud in HD is really something.
just need to check….have you seen all of the Lord of the Rings films??
such a good concept.
@pinktiger335 - lol yea i couldn’t write about reality glitches and not mention it
@Cucumber_Melonhead - Yes it can be a fun way to fill an idle moment
Snooki? and the ‘situation’?? i’m afraid i must be missing a reference somewhere. :S
@ALovingAdversary - Thanks I hope i’m clearer in writing than i usually feel i’m being while talking.
Well i’m not sure for certain that i’ve experienced anything that couldn’t be explained in one way or another, but that dosen’t shake my feeling that there’s sometimes something out of place if only you could spot it.
Your constantly looking at the world for potential images or moments, that must help make you very observant.
@BFB1131 - I’ve always been very observant. My childhood had a lot of tension below the surface and I learned to notice out of necessity. I’m lucky I can channel it to a creative end nowadays.
@BFB1131 - Ir really was. haha =D
@BFB1131 - ”Jersey Shore”forgot that you aren’t from U.S. haha
Snooki and The Situation Picture
Jersey Shore Wikipedia
Maybe it’s time for me to metaphysical discussion with myself. I’ve been so lazy, I have no motivation to do the housework, I’m seriously lacking motivation lately.
@BFB1131 - yeah saw that maybe two saturdays ago? something like that. i was never a matrix fan. i saw the first one, barely remember it and then never saw the others until the recent thing, haha.
i have, on the other hand, seen all of the lord of the rings! i AM a fan of that.
