Here's Tom With The Weather...

You've been in a coma for 8 years. The doctors are trying an experimental technique to see if we can get through to you. If you’re reading this, please wake up. Everyone misses you. Please wake up.

I’ve always enjoyed this meme. I like how it breaks the contextual fourth wall. Asks you to second guess expectations, and turns the viewer into the main character.

Concepts like this are good to remember. I’m wrapping my head around building a cadence for making videos and telling stories. (These daily posts are helping with that.) It’s good to have some ideas simmering in the back of my mind so my intuition can work on them while I tend to other worldly matters.

Maybe the comatose theme will be a consistent thread through the videos. Maybe they’ll be a consistent theme through these posts(!) And why not? Part of me thinks it’s a good occasional exercise: flush your expectations and imagine that none of this is real, and we’re actually floating around in a dream state. It’d make our unrealized desires more bearable and our ongoing frustrations less noisy.

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the weather.” - Bill Hicks
