Oblivion, defined.
Oblivion, what a great word.
Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines oblivion as "the fact or condition of forgetting or having forgotton, the condition of being oblivious, the condition or state of being forgotton or unknown. Lacking active concious knowledge or awareness."
However, the interesting thing to me is the varying degree of states of oblivion.
The fat lady in the Expedition driving 60 in the fast lane of a six lane highway is certainly oblivious, but she is in a very different place from the college student who just took five bong-hits or the boxer lying on the canvas after the 10-count. Or is she?
