There comes a point when you ask yourself to whom you are actually talking to when talking to yourself. The other day I was reading a Monty Python DVD box and the authorship of the text on the back was credited to "that voice that appears on your head when you read something". Usually people - as they tell me - listen to their own voice, but me... I can't recognize it. I don't know whether it's just because we never really get used to our own voice... or 'cause it is someone unknown. I'd like to have full control over that voice, 24/7, just like I am right now - as I listen to the voice of the movie preview guy, mocked by Pablo Francisco. But, anyway, I never really remember the dreams I have. But I do know I've dreamed a good bunch once when I wake up with the head full of thoughts, and they're said by this strange voice.
Well, today was like this. I woke up with me talking to myself. Not only in English as I type practically non-stop right now, but also with the exact same intonation as one of the sitcom characters I was watching last night. From 11 pm to 4 am.
But who is this voice talking to anyway? I don't really have anything new to tell myself, because it would be only a malfunctioning of the logic I still think I have left. One of the things I do rely on is the eighteenth-century-enlightment logic I've learned at school and use up to today. Not ashamed of it, I'm some centuries back when it comes to logic and cientific thinking, and it's OK. But talking to yourself? That's just not right.

Being honest. I know why. I'm my own wilson ball. And... not ashamed either.
[now I ask you to reread the text - it's not that long - with the most amusing voice you can think of. Not outloud! To yourself! You just don't learn, do ya?]

Well, I don't recognize mine either. But sometimes I hear different ones. Sometimes I hear some that is not mine and not the usual "reader" also.
I reckon it's best to not know. Control is not always a good sign. Nor reason.
If you look for two centuries ago for enlightment, perhaps you should also look two milleniuns - not that you don't, but you know what I mean.
