The Good 'Ole Days

People in general tend to be almost frighteningly...mundane.  There is no evil in most people.  At the same time, there is no good.  Really, the thing that compels most human action is the ingrained selfishness that's essential to survival.  Selfishness and...

So another summer is on its last breaths.  I often wonder when I'm going to stop living in terms of summers and winters and semesters and school years.  Is that the true sign of adulthood? It's hard for me to believe I graduated high school a mere 3 months ago.  3 months of working...

Humanity comes in flashes.  Unexpected bursts of sorrow or irrational anger.  Brief moments where the idea of my continued state of alone-ness offends me.  Thankfully, the moments are never long-lived.  But being slapped by something you had forgotten you had is never a pleasa...

It alway simultaneously enrages and entertains me when these children actually believe that their lives are hard.  Currently, I am content that I am not starving and have a place to live.  Oddly enough, most people have difficulty finding the same contentment.  But who am I to judg...

The heat makes me tired and yet it refuses to rain.  Fire danger is VERY HIGH today kiddies, so don't play with matches. Boredom should be a deadly sin.  Some might argue that it already is, with "Sloth" on the list...sloth is different than boredom.  It is possible to be...

It offends me that I can't write like I used to.  This kind of drab colloquial was reserved for my livejournal; I always tried to write pretty prose here.   Eloquence, it turns out, is not something to be taken for granted.  It comes and it goes.  Perhaps I have not used ...

If I work it right, I can get 4-5 hours of silence a day.  Just the dripping water, the cars outside, and, of course, the clicking of the keys.  No voices.  No people.  No need to be remotely coherent.  I consider the silence to be recuperationl; relaxations that even sle...

In a little less than three hours, the birds across the canal will start chirping.  The sun will start to rise. I have a rather bad case of insomnia as of late.  Oddly enough, it hasn't been bothering me.  I find there's no point in sleeping, as I always feel guilty when I do, I&he...

It's amazing how the littlest voice, the one whispering "you're worthless, you're lazy, you're a stupid fucker" is the one that can keep you up at night.  How emo.  When I sleep I feel as though I'm wasting time, when I don't sleep I feel wasted.  Time cannot be retr...

I find myself growing more narcissistic daily.  Impatient because I know they are wasting my time, time that I don't have to spend on their inane stupidity.  How dare they?  How dare they get in my way when I am so obviously superior to them?  It's absolutely...imper...
