Do you ideologise the meaningless?

Inspired by the Howard Jones thread (and my earlier mentions of his "Like To Get To Know You Well" video) where I mused on how someone so utterly unimportant can stick in the mind and seem so simultaneously horrible and reasonant. So meaningless it became meaningful.

So: what is the least significant thing that has ever developed some personal meaning to you (and, preferably, not to anyone else you knew)?

That would be my entry into the year 2002... crashed out on a couch after drinking lots of cheap beer and Dr. Pepper and Djing a hip-hop set at a U-district new year's house party.

I was awoken by the sounds of this extremely cute kitty cat, with raccoon style patters, playing soccer by itself with a plethora of beer bottle caps over the wooden living room floor. (I was the first to get up in a sea of passed out stoodentz.) I found a piece of floss and played with the kitty for about half and hour, then stumbled to my car and left to go back to my house.

It really affected me for some reason. Maybe it's because it was a rare moment of solitude for a new year's day morning... or that this was my first new year's in a brand new city since...dear god, who knows when.

The insignificant can have an idea, sensation or otherwise formless feeling which the brain requires a tag for attached to it - thus rendering the insignificant, significant.

Maybe.

one month passes...
yes, of course! because only the meaningless actually achieves any meaning, obviously. its all about the aesthetics (& the faulty wiring).
