Regret

Ever regret that someone met you? Not that you met them, but that they had to meet you and you feel like they’d have been better off if they hadn’t. Few folks I feel that about and while I am f...


Kinda wish I had never fallen in love or had sex. It’s easier to yearn for things you never had than to miss those that you’ll never have again. In Men in Black, when Will Smith said, “Well, yo...


What do you do when you realize a very fundamental part of you is broken and probably can’t be fixed? It’s not that I don’t feel worthy of love, but that I can’t believe someone would love me th...


Anyone else have that moment where you realize that some fundamental aspect that makes you you also makes it so you will never find love (again)? How did you deal with it? It’s sometimes an odd...

Wish I Didn't Miss

One of my favorite film lines of all time comes from the first Men In Black. It’s when J finds K watching the girl from afar, the one he was meant to go on a date the fateful night he came upon ...

Black Mirror

I’m in the middle of watching Black Mirror again and I think the surest sign that I’m not in the middle of a dystopian nightmare is that the folks in this show have gotten laid more in the whole ...

Ready Player One

To paraphrase, I never felt comfortable in the real world. I’ve never really understood how to connect with people the way I do online. The world is a scary, ugly place. But the real world is ...

Legacy

The biggest lesson I learned and learn from my ex is that, no matter what good you do, in today’s world, it is your mistakes that will be remembered. In my case, my mistakes as an adult have nul...

Stupid

I wish I was dumb enough to be happy. To believe that the world has something and someone for me. To believe that not everything I have done in my adult life has been a mistake. To believe tha...

Convinience

You ever feel like a convinience? Not something that people need or want around but it is convenient to have around. I feel like that alot. I don’t have the personality of someone people want ...

Dreams

It is a very odd thing when you realized you asked permission to get laid in your own dream. Not sure exactly how much good or bad that says about me as a person.

Cursed

I swear I feel like a curse on everyone and everything around me. Every time things start to go a little right, they go a lot wrong. Been at my ex’s house for the last month and a half taking c...

Typical Idiocy

Ever just wish you could learn how not to fall in love with people? Attraction I can deal with. I wish I could learn to avoid falling for a person though. Mostly because I know I will never sa...

What Does It Say...

That I consider myself probably the most skilled person I know at knowing exactly who I am and am completely honest about myself with myself and yet I never am able to see myself as more that a s...

Purpose

I know I bitch alot when I am here. I don’t mean to. When I was a teen, when depression began to truly take hold, I still had an overwhelming sense of purpose, as if there was something in my l...

Realization

That moment you see with utter finality that when the chips are down, you will ultimately always come up short.

September

If the human spirit is supposed to be capable of boundless miracles of endurance, then somebody forgot to send my factory recall notice.

Waking Up

I have really tried not to bitch about my personal life. After all, it’s not like it’s that bad. I mostly have my health, just a bit overweight. I have a job. I have people around me that car...

Tonight has reminded me that some people are just meant to finish last. And because of my faults, and my strengths, I am one of those people.

Question: Is it the case that something has gone wrong in your life or that something has gone wrong in your head when you start sympathizing and agreeing with the machines in "The Matrix"?


So it was revealed by Robin Williams' wife today that he had just recently learned that he was in the early stages of Parkinson's. With a family history of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer...

Odd as it may sound, sometimes I think my life would be better if I hadn't been so good at staying out of trouble.

A Brief Update

Ended up having to replace the battery after all. Still, I will never underestimate how good it feels to have a car start and not sound like shit again. Or air conditioning. That shit is gre...

Loneliness

Ya know, being alone would be a whole lot easier if I wasn't around people every day. It really is better to never know what you're missing.
