well... maybe it blows something else... but yeah, I once blew my mind by listening to the albums on their bodies by order of their height while staring at that poster on my wall... no crack involved though my mind is very easily blown ------------- I am but a servant of the mighty Fripp, the sound of whose loins shall forever be upon the tongues of his followers. |

The arcade game (and its subsequent ports to every video gaming console in history) Bubble Bobble blows my mind. Specifically how the world resoundingly failed to latch onto how mind-bogglingly addictive it is... in a parallel universe there are Bubble Bobble booths on every street corner and in the parlour of every rich man's house - you enter such a machine and become immersed in light conductive body gel and presently assume the role of a strange bubble-blowing dinosaur/dragon hybrid, and your goal is to jump around turning robotic monsters into fruit - to do so brings about a great sense of well-being and to avoid the task brings great despondency, along with a skeletal whale that chases you around. It would be such a successful phenomenon that half the world would be interconnected via bubblepods, suspended in a state of "booth-bliss", so to speak. The incidental fact that this is not the case in *this* reality is what blows my mind. ------------- FREEDOM OF SPEECH GO TO HELL |

relationships, and how two people who seemingly have identical backgrounds can be so much diffent, people's opinions can be extraordinarly interesting or unique its like "whoa man you really think that I would have never thought about something like that."
also good stories, true or false it doesn't matter but I find imagination to be very interesting.

Ok, so I'm sitting around on my butt (what I normally do) and I start listening to PRR's The Dark Third, and I'm thinking, "Well, with all the negative/overly positive things I've heard, I should expect a mediocre album." But, when I turned it on and really started listening, I'm like, "Whoah, Holy Crap!! DUDE, Holy Crap!... that's pretty good" so, yeah, it kind of blew my mind, but not as much as El Cielo by dredg. So, I've gotta say, Score another point for the Americans!
