Obviously I won't be making observations evry single day, but I want to get some content in this new digest of The Traveller.

I was wondering why I have this sudden obsession with strawberries. It is not an unhealthy obsession, no, but I do wonder what it could be about. I mean, the other night I had a dream of a "Strawberry Locator"... I wonder, really, if this locates strawberry patches or perhaps strawberries in a store, or maybe lonely strawberries that need "saving" (being eaten!). Perhaps this is simply a sign from the Spirit and the fact that if i desire something, I gotta know where it is! And if I desire something and don't know where to find it, I'm out of luck!

But this "obesession", as it were, if that's what it is does not at all seem to overwhelm me. It is more like a mere suggestion of the universe, maybe I'm not eating enough strawberries or such. Some people are obsessed with Bjork, or with something they can never have. Me, I'm happy, because I can go to the store and BUY strawberries if I want one! Or perhaps a strawberry shake.

I do wonder if this obsession is caused by the song F***ing in Rhythm and Sorrow, ["i'll give you some strawberry cake, don't act like there''s no tomorrow"] but no, I'm not naked on the roof. Not yet, anyway... And i know there's no tomorrow, because it's always TODAY! And if it's always today, if I desire a strawbery, by all means I must have one NOW, or else then it means nothing... what was that saying that once came out of Bjork's mouth? "Settle for nothing less than the object of your desire." If i want a strawberry, that is healthy desire.

I feel sorry for obsessed fans of people, really, because they want a person they can never have or touch and furthermore, they do not see the person really as a person, but as an Object of Desire. And people are not objects! I like Bjork, but only because she's an intelligent person and not an object!!! So do I think Bjork is cute? Yes, she's really unique and cute, but why would I want to get involved in her personal life? And anyway, I'm too obsessed with living life instead of dying to be obsessed with Bjork, anyway... No time for cowards who can't handle their own emotional overload.
