Nothing (Apr. 7)

Sometimes when you ask a guy what he is thinking about he will respond by saying nothing. Now, this consept may be particularly hard for females to grasp since they have a very difficult time thinking of nothing, but apparently becuase men have very compartmentalized brains it is entirely possible for them to think about nothing. The question is what kind of nothing are they thinking about? See on the one hand there is the nothing that is the lack of everything. This nothing is not a think in and of itself but rather happens when there is simply a lack of things. You could ask someone what is in the closet and they could respond that there is nothing in the closet because there are no clothes, shoes, coats, cleaning supplies or anything else in the closet. There is also the nothing that acts as something. It is still the lack of something but is not looked at as a something. This is the nothing that you can actualy have. Using the closet analogy, if someone rather were to ask what you have in the closet you could say that you have nothing in the closet. This is different than saying there is nothing in the closet in that on the one instance you are owning the nothingness inthe closet, where on the other hand you are simply stating the lack of things to posses in the closet.
