Do You catalog Your Thoughts?

  1. do you have thoughts? do you often forget them? do you record them?

    i have been having deep thoughts and forgetting them since i started getting high. i have recorded them in some form (paper, in notepad
    on my phone) for the last few years. thoughts could range from "pick up milk" to "develop a blog based on various forms of consciousness"

    i frequently go on trains of thought and forget what they were about. do you? do you record in text to prevent it?

    Yes indeed
    Got a notebook with rhymes and scribbled notes here n there.
    From what to buy and when (ex. Ipod 10/10/14, arizer solo 11/11/14, dslr 3/15/15)
    Some from trips (wink wink) and the looped thoughts that have such profound meanings of life and consciousness
    Shit, even some notes on Skyrim potions to Pokemon with attacks and natures and etc

    Also got an app that takes up alit of data cause of so many things ive written
    Now I usually just make a private/me only FB post
     
  3. my facebook wall is nothing but a sounding board/record of my thoughts i dont mind people seeing.
     
  4. for the most part no, but occasionally ill record an idea i find particularly valuable. i suppose our posts here on gc could be considered a catalog of thoughts. although they are often candid responses, and certainly dont encompass beliefs or values, they do represent something. 
     
  5. I went through a few phases where I did that. It was mostly while I was tripping, although I recorded some sober trains of thought. Each time I re-read my previous thoughts, and realized I had already made the changes those thoughts were likely to provoke, and discarded the thoughts I didn't want to change me. I learned to trust myself.
     
    I knew one guy who recorded mostly everything he learned. He was a pretty smart dude, well motivated and athletic. He just had no social perspective. Looking back (I know, I know), there's a strong possibility he was some form of sociopath. Nice guy, though, from what I could tell.
     
  6. how did he record it? like video taping himself doing chemistry experiments?

    ive always hated the term sociopath, its too subjective. while i personally think the only wrong one can do is harm somebody physically, emotionally, financially, etc. i think everybody is like that in some ways all of the time. hard to say whats just and unjust when thats a matter of perspective
     
  7. Is what I use it for...like a real journal but different. I keep a written one for the the more personal thoughts though. It's personal here,  just different It's interesting to look back to years ago and see how I've changed, beliefs left behind or grown stronger and what I was going through. Helps to get it out and organize my thoughts.
     
  8. I feel like I'm enlightened in some we shape or form each day but because of my short term memory loss due to smoking I just become ignorant again, but that's the circle of life!

    But for me, it's not so much thoughts as it is prose. I tend to get high and write philosophical poems. It's always funny to read them sober too because sometimes... They are just too abstract lol

    No, it was a written journal.
     
    I'm not using sociopath in a detrimental fashion. I mean he didn't understand normal social cues, and only did what he understood for himself, which very rarely included and even (rarer) utilized emotions.
