Yes, the point i was making
The point was about drinking. That it is an activity deeply loved by humans. We love to drink things almost as much as I love to read things. It is compulsive. I see a word or a shape and I just I have to know what it says. I can't leave it alone without reading it. Even here where all the word shapes are の と と ろ金じゃ or something like that...I just, I see them and I have to read. Lines like | and 二 and curves like めのね lovely I think and ponder what they might mean...ham sandwiches over here maybe...and I try to log it away because maybe one day I will learn its true meaning and find the ham sandwiches...
But maybe you aren't quite compulsed to read things like this, but you do love to drink things. You see something, something that looks drinkable and you go and you drink it. You have to. You would feel funny leaving it. And we are all so terribly thirsty. This is why there are so many different things to drink: goat's milk; guava juice; Ovaltine; water; creme du menthe; nudies if you are in Australia; Moosehead if you are in Canada (or South Korea and looking for a Canadian beer); 600 different kinds of rices tea if you are in Japan; 6 million other kinds of tea from morning glory dew tea to baby knuckle juice tea if you are in China and coke in many flavours if you are in Texas...
It is shocking all the different things we drink, and the lengths we go to to drink them. and that is the point I was trying to make. I don't even notice that I am reading a word and already I have finished, and that is just how it is.
And I was thinking this and drinking cartons of milk and feeling a bit funny about it. I was drinking milk like wine from the carton thinking I would feel a bit funny drinking cartons of wine from a carton. Wine just feels more justified from a glass bottle. Maybe everything feels more justified from a glass bottle. I wonder if anyone here makes milk in glass bottles. They do in England.
I was drinking cartons of milk thinking who drinks cartons of milk. Usually if you drink cartons of milk then you buy milk by the jug and you are a whole family with 4 hockey playing sons. Or that engineer from Electal Hall who used to buy two jugs of milk at a time.
But I used to be lucky to drink one cup of milk over the course of two weeks. And there I was empty cartons piling up in the kitchen. The staff beginning to worry if i was ever going to order a drink.
When I ordered another cocoa. I told the woman I was talking with in another language (or two) that my tea bags have words on them, and so I had to read them. and they say: write us if you have any questions or concerns or if you are just lonely and crave some human contact. And I asked her: how do my tea bags know me so well? And she said she didn't know, maybe I should write and ask.
and that is the point i was making.
