Gareth + ? Forever:

Fakies sometimes have a hard time with signs. It took Ferdinand de Saussure a lifetime to figure out his theory, but Fakies never really went to any of his parties.

Distinguishing the ‘signified’ from the ‘signifier’ and what is ‘Realie real’ versus what is ‘Fakie real’ is confusing when one is an imaginary friend.

So it was that Gareth feel in love:

Of course, some objects in Realie reality occupy a very odd and anthropomorphic position in the world. Whatever the case, Gareth heads fallen head over heels for the object of his affections:

Where DID you put your keys?

You may think that it’s strange to begin a Travis posting with these to unknown gentlemen prominently displayed up front.  You would be smart to ask yourself: Who are they?

Obviously, they’re men.  They’re Realies.  … And they’re both missing their car keys!  As you’ll see, Fakies might play a role in it.

For anyone who has had that unnerving feeling that your keys, wallet, headphones, watch, vibrator, glasses,  etc., was “here only a minute ago!”- I’ve got news for you: You could be right.

Much like the rest of us, Fakies tend to vehemently believe in the wholly unsubstantiated statements of their peers.

Usually, this is based more on each Fakie’s subjective personal fear or hang-ups.  However, all Fakies have one consistent hang-up: They’re not Realies.  But that doesn’t stop them from trying to become one. 

Somehow, an erroneous rumor began some time ago that a Fakie became a Realie by eating inanimate objects.  Unfortunately for Fakies, they’re not very good at keeping those things down, which is often why when you, like the two gentlemen above, have lost a small belonging: Worry not!

More than likely, a Fakie will cough it up in a short time if you’re patient enough to wait.

Feel the unreality.

This is Travis:

TRAVIS IS T$

Travis is an imaginary friend.  He is very very real, however. 

It’s only that you and I cannot normally see him.  He’s sort of like a second class citizen who’s totally awesome. But no one like us knows it because we can’t see him, even though he’s hanging around us even now.

Travis is not alone.  He has other  imaginary friends too.  Collectively, they’re known as “Fakies.”  Us “Realies” just can’t see them.  But they’re there.

This blog is about their world and Travis’s existence.
