I've been thinking about the difference between insane and unsane. I'm sure there are technical definitions that disagree with my usage but in this case, I am using unsane in the sense that 7-up is the Uncola. It's deliberately not sane but that doesn't make it milk or rootbeer.
Anyhow, I think a lot of people I know are at least a bit unsane. Unsanity is cool, it's catchy, it makes you different, just like all your friends. Maybe I'm projecting a bit. I know I tend to play at being unsane quite a lot. I word things in a different order than I really should, I put weird gaps in methods of speak to emphasize them as being unsane and abnormal, and I'm often not afraid to talk about whatever bizarre cocktail my mind has mixed up.
It's really all the product of a bored and idle mind. You get tired of the same old conversations over and over and things are so predictable that it feels good to mix it up a bit, if for no other reason than because it can get a laugh.
The question is, what are the long-term effects of unsanity? Can you damage yourself from longterm unsanity? Can one perhaps actually go insane from pretending to be insane? What of young Hamlet?
Anyhow, just some stuff to think about.
