How long have you been reading this thing I call Javann's Deep Thoughts? Its been in existence for a while actually. One thing I've always liked is that I don't feel the need to write here. Because I know the people who read it, will come back faithfully, even if I neglect it for a few weeks or so. I must be right, because you're reading this right now. =) I added the smiley face to take some of the hard edge off of my arrogant claim.

Back when this blog started, my whole purpose to post deep thoughts. I mean truly deep thought provoking, meaningfully amazing thoughts. And I think the first few months, I was really on target. For instance, check out this thought:

Friday, March 05, 2004
This episode finds our hero stranded in a a world of books, trapped with no way out except through his mind. It being Friday, our hero lies down to rest for the rest of the weekend, since his policy is never to think on Friday. Though in all actuality I did some thinking. Granted it was last night, but technically it was Friday, since it was last night at 12:00 or so. Apparently my mind is not familiar with the standard time that my body is. Either way, my thought was pretty superfluous anyway, and so really it shouldn't really count as a thought. What I thought was that you never see any real genius superheroes. You never see the superhero who's one power is his incredible mind. Sure he's kinda buff, (since no one wants to see flab in a spandex, or whatever it is the stylish superheros are wearing nowadays) but he's been altered by a terrible accident/comes from another planet/was raised in a library and now has the mental power of fifty men. Sure you see people who can move things with their minds but you rarely see people who can think and invent a way to do that. Some superheros are smart but they have to be because the only intelligent people you see are villians. Lex Luthor, Brainiac, that guy with the huge head from the Hulk comics, all of those are villians whose sole abilities are mental. There's never a point where a man who's a supergenius decides, "Hey, I'm going to go out and fight some crime. . ." Its always world domination for the intelligent ones. What does that say about our society, don't be smart because if you are chances are you'll want to rule the world? Sheer brilliance and overwhelming intelligence is never a true match for brute strength backed by an average mind? Only the intelligent make truly formidable foes? Draw your own conclusions, I'm going to go take my second test of the day. Hopefully my brute strength and average intelligence will help me prevail upon my evil genius professor, who has a doctorate in world domination. Really its political science but its just a small stretch of the imagination.

Deep right? But wait there's more:
I'm so drunk with my power of partipulation. I think I explained that somewhere. If not, there's always tomorrow, and you can bet your bottom dollar, that uh, hmmm. . .I'm not sure how that ends. Anyway, that was my weekend in an extremely small nutshell. This weekend was full of thoughts, and I'll be the first to share them with whoever cares to read. Mainly, my thoughts were focused on the human mind. The human mind is without a doubt one of the most intriguing and complex gifts that we have. Not just from a biological viewpoint. Though really, I have to admit, I'm not all that shocked or impressed by it from a physiological standpoint. Really, our mind is synonymous to a system of living wires, all of which can be formed from point to point, simply by what we see hear, or think. All of our memories are dependent upon those wires staying uncorroded. That's not impressive at all. (sarcasm of course) But the fact that the mind can be so versatile will always impress me. It can produce a vast range of emotions, so many that we have a hard time understanding HOW we feel from time to time. Love, hate, anger, sadness, fondness, warmth, joy, peacefulness, all of those feelings emanate from our brain, due to a series of synapses, firing and responding due to what we've just experienced. What I see and experience is vastly different from what other people see and experience, even though we're similar from a biological standpoint. Two people can see the same person, and one person may find that other person to be the most beautiful person that he/she has ever seen. The other person maybe literally repulsed. Its all due to our minds. I'm also shocked by the range of thought that the mind is capable of. One person can have thoughts of world peace and bunnies, and then devious thoughts of hatred and revenge, in the course of three to four minutes. I know it can because I've done it. All in all, that's the best thought I can get out for such morning as this. Don't worry, I'll be sure to "step correct" come Tuesday, or the next blog will be my last! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. . .yeah I don't get it either. I was going to share poetry, but why not go to poetry.com and search for Javann Jones. There's plenty there for your Javann-reading needs.

Deep! Fulfilling! It amazes me everytime I realize that I, Javann Lamar Jones, wrote that type of thing. You should've seen my spiel on time being the perception of change. It was long. And well written. But most importantly, it was deep.

Lately though, I've not had any really deep thoughts. Or even the spark to sit down and write. I have the desire to write, but every time I start, its like I hate what I've written, and I delete it and walk away in disgust. Its a shame really. You'd think I could recycle my old ideas, but no, I'm forced to be fresh new, and I just don't have what it takes. I honestly think its from my hiatus from college. I don't really feel intellectually challenged much at work, or at all in my everyday life. . .wow this is getting long. Either way, enjoy your Sunday, and hopefully, Monday will bring a better blog with deeper thoughts. Deeper NEWER thoughts.

Tommy, you almost sound as if you want me to quit. But hey, here's an idead, how about a week as guest blogger? Hmmm? Tommy's Deep Thoughts and Other Assorted Candies. I'll even change the name. Think about it and let me know, and I'll start doing whatever it is I have to do to make that happen.
