Blocks

"First post. Unfortunately, the other, better half of this writing tandem is too lazy to create an article or whatnot. Thus you have me."

Blocks. I've had fascination with blocks ever since i was a child. As i was thinking about the article title and what i would write about for my first blog, several thoughts came to mind.



1) Why the hell is it so hard to think about something that's not really needed?
2) Why does the word "block" mean several, opposing things things?
3) Why am i compelled to write something even though my brain produces nothing?
4) Why did i put a 4th thought even if I didn't have a fourth thought?
5) Why am i actually writing a blog, though i'm supposed to be talking to the other half of this writing tandem, and: Why did i actually put a 5th thought though i previously stated that i thought of these thoughts before i started writing this blog?

Now, as i earnestly write this blog out of the fumes my mind produces, a flow of answers come off my head. But then again, in a blink of an eye, my brain wanders of for a few milli-seconds, and all of those answers drift away. Bah.


Anyways, as i remember typing (this is because i'm too lazy to scroll up) i was talking about blocks. Yeah, so blocks are cool. They come in different shapes, and sizes, form different things and pieces. But then again, another term for block is to actually refrain something from doing something. I don't really know why they used 2 very opposite meanings for one single word. But then again, i don't know a lot of things anyway. I think it's that a "block" (the noun), is usually used to "block" (verb) a pathway, a goal or etc. But that doesn't really solve anything useful.


Blocks, for me at least, is way of life, a philosophy if you will. It's both useful, and annoying. My life itself is littered with a lot of blocks, whether they are good or bad, they are the ones that make me for who i really am. I can be one or another, i can be the block or the blocker. I guess that's really why i opted to write this seemingly useless article, it's what i feel right now, and it's what i want to be right now.


But then again, before i started, i only wanted to write something so i could get things going. So i would "inspire" the other half of this blog to write something as well. I guess talking, and thinking are only "Road Blocks" that prevent me from reaching my goal. "Mental Blocks" on the other hand, should only be only be what they are - "Mental". I guess all these realizations make one a better person, but only thru "Building" these "thought blocks" into actions will make one a "productive person".
