Crazy, but not crazy
as a ward suggests,
but crazy to detest
the realm of society
that lonely only found
without, about on the
fringes
seeking solace with
solitude
to look out and see
what it means
is not a personal plot
but to live a dream
within billions

Why the Title?
I am the amalgam of thoughts and genetic material of others. My opinions, and point of view, derived from my particular perception of events, processed through a matrix of prejudices and tolerance, that were gained through experiencing reality. Or, as someone once told me: "You are who are, where you came from, when."
The point I suppose is derivation. That no one particular thought is mine to claim, as uniquely my own, but was the product of many jumbling phrases and experiences, out-put to my source. That any other observer riding my exact spot, leading my experience would come to similar conclusions, and give similar voice.
There is a lot to that thought. It makes some assumption about the concepts of free-will, identity and consciousness, and touches on the nature of ideas and of social evolution. I'm not taking any big swings at these topics, as I would not be breaking any new ground. I think if you have been following along, you can intuit where they fit into what I have written and why. If this blog is deemed worthy of questions however, I could answer how these conclusions came about.
What I am trying to impress upon you is expressed in quotes like: "If I have seen farther, it is because I have stood on the backs of giants." It is the intent to place a perspective, on the value of that which came before, as integral to genesis of that which came after. I would add, however: "irrespective of what form the newer product takes." If you imagine that line of thinking: every experience someone has had, is constituent in generating what and who they are now.
But I feel I am beating a dead horse.
A bit much to understand the title of my blog: Amalgam of Earlier Entry's, but y'know.. words is fun. I do occupy this spot of mine; I am the vector of my experience. I am one of almost 7 billion, and rising. I would like to share my particular space, and do some credit to those I've been within earshot or eyesight of, absorbing intimately or from afar. Those "Earlier Entry's", unsubmitted but alive in some way or another through my expression.
I hope none of that was clear.
