is God a Tube inside of me And You?


Do you squeeze the God Tube from the top or the bottom? Check out this new youtube style video site geared towards glorifying the divine; this video from godtube.com claims that through sign language it can help you realize that “You Are God”. Hypnotizing, isn’t it?:

Stendhal syndrome or Stendhal’s syndrome is a psychosomatic illness that causes rapid heartbeat, dizziness, confusion and even hallucinations when an individual is exposed to art, usually when the art is particularly ‘beautiful’ or a large amount of art is in a single place. The term can also be used to describe a similar reaction to a surfeit of choice in other circumstances, e.g. when shopping.

The Jerusalem syndrome is the name given to a group of mental phenomena involving the presence of either religiously themed obsessive ideas, delusions or other psychosis-like experiences, that are triggered by, or lead to, a visit to the city of Jerusalem. It is not endemic to one single religion or denomination, but has affected Jews and Christians of many different backgrounds.

Recently I subscribed to Wiley Wiggins twitter feed. That’s the guy from Dazed and Confused and Waking Life - the one who touched his eyes alot and played with his hair. I am one of the fifteen or so lucky folks who gets to listen in on his daily “tweets”.

Today he wrote this:

“feeling tired, bogged down and unproductive. Going to get some rest this weekend and try to get back on track.”

Wiley is not subscribed to my Twitter feed. So Wiley, if you’re reading this, here’s what I did:

I spent the latter part of my evening signing up to some Web 2.0 websites : Backpack and Technorati to be specific. How many more sites can I sign up for? I feel it’s kind of like Fight Club where he goes to each of the Anonymous Whatever classes. I don’t know why I keep signing up for them when I know I won’t be able to keep up with updating them all.

Will anyone ever watch TwitterVision religiously? I don’t think Twittervision will last very long, at least not in this incarnation. But I am obsessed with how things are ramping up. Do I really give a shit what you ate for breakfast? No. Do I still read them and feel guilty when I miss a tweet, wondering if I am missing out? Yes.

With Twittervision, I sort of feel like a god looking down on the globe, watching the thoughts of His little creations.

But now I am confused. Is this a God Tube or a Twitter vision?
