Digression from depression to weirdness today

I met someone weird about a year ago, that I'd seen for a few weeks before I actually met him. He was the boyfriend of one of the girls I worked with.


This guy was walking weirdness. All you had to do is look at him and you knew he was weird. He looked normal, but weird at the same time. Lol, I wonder if people have that reaction when they meet me?

Unless I'm wearing all black, which I do frequently, I think I look fairly normal. BTW, I don't wear black to get attention. I've been wearing it all of my life. When I want or need to have some attitude I put on black. The more attitude I want the more black I'll wear.


Anyway, I look normal and fairly forgettable. I always wonder what people who approach me from the right think when they meet me. Just curiosity on my part, not caring, as when they see the solid gold 1 inch long rattlesnake hanging from my left ear I can see their mind doing flip flops and the double take most of them do is almost funny.


You should know by now, if you've read any of this since I started, that I wear the earring on purpose. It messes with peoples heads and it's fun to watch. Lol, one old boy down south, bouncer, told me when he met me he thought I was a innocent looking older guy and then I turned enough so he could see the snake and he said his next thought was "Oh shit". Cracked me up.


Anyway, the guy was walking weirdness as I said. So his girlfriend introduced us one day. I don't remember his name. Heh, don't remember hers either but could if I tried. I still remember exactly what she looks like. She went back in to go back to work.

When she left he and I started talking and it got weirder by the minute. He was explaining something that was mildly profound yet a very basic concept to me.

Evidently my boredom was showing because he finally said "You Grok?" and I replied "Lazarus Long".

From then on we understood each other perfectly. We seldom spoke in full sentences after that but in concepts. Lol, when I went back inside I told his GF he was weird and she relied that most people thought so.

I told her no, not for the reason that you think but because he understands me. That's weird. Most people don't. I understood him too and that was weird to her.

So what was it about the 4 words that lead us to know. Simple, both are related to Science Fiction. Lazarus Long is even more obscure than Grok but the end result is that if you understood the whole thing then we both believed nothing was impossible or to far fetched to be considered as impossible.

Which then leads to other things like acceptance of people or cultures who are different from our own, what can be done with the mind and a ton of other things. Yeah, I know, it's weird.

How often have you met someone who you know can understand everything you say, perfectly, after just a few words. it's quite nice when it happens. Doesn't happen often tho.

So today I leave you with this. Pantheistic solipsism. Go look it up. It's what we understood. ;)
