Piggums Official Random Thought Thread

[Marburg]

Yeah it's possible that I'm assigning value as an afterthought, but at the same time, have you considered that you may be discounting the possibility that everything is connected in some way, obvious or not?

Lemme shoot for an example: Last week while at work, the DJ & I were quoting random movie lines to one another to pass the time. One I remembered was "It looks like the police have themselves an RV!" well, neither of us could remember where the line was from & it was diving us nuts for a while. Well, we wrote it off & moved on to other quotes. A couple days later I'm watching a Kevin Smith flick & was reminded again of the RV line. I shrugged it off w/o a second thought.

A couple days after that, I'm watching an episode of Justified & I again thought of that line. I wasn't sure at the time why, but I figured out the connection: The RV line was from the original Die Hard movie. My brain was connecting seemingly unrelated things to help remind me of that.

Both Kevin Smith and Timothy Olyphant (from Justified) were connected to Die Hard 4 which has been making the channel rounds last week,

It's not impossible that seeing DH4 on the TV schedule is what reminded me of the line from DH1 that day & spurred me to think of it in the 1st place & it was my subconscious that later gave me the urge to watch some Justified and Jay & Silent Bob Shenanigans in order to help me remember where it originally came from.

As far as I can tell, there is no magic in the universe, but at least the connection between Die Hard, Justified, and Clerks is real enough to be recognized and acted on subconsciously.

That's the clencher, really. no one in the world actually knows how the subconscious drives our thoughts that lead to our actions & interactions in society.
