People actually want to be alone? I've heard there are humans who prefer to live by themselves. This amazes me. I can understand brief periods of time when you need to be alone but I don't comprehend how you'd want to live a life with no one to talk with and share thoughts and ideas.This is now my life. It wasn't by choice, mind you. Now I'm in my little apartment where I have all the freedom and privacy that I could desire, whether I want it or not. All that's missing is someone to talk too. But it could get worse.Before I moved in here I w...

If you look at pretty much anything that happens to people in life, they always seem to have something that they consider a problem. It's that, "Life's hard" bull crap. Until something really bad happens. I have always been a trustful person. If you pick the right people for the right things, life is good. You can always count on a good friend. The secret is to keep standards low and never over-burden anyone. Wow! That's kinda the whole, "straw that broke..." and "you can't get blood..." things rolled into one. If I kept asking the same per...

Today is an easy one. It's Monday. The day working people dread and of which I'm still not a big fan. The time doesn't really matter as long as it's too early for visitors. I like knowing that I will not be disturbed. No one should be bothered when they're having their morning coffee and smokes. This should be a god-given right for all man-kind. How do I start a petition? The air has a chill to it so I'm guessing that it's still winter. I don't see any snow outside the window (or inside either, for that matter), and I'm up before the sun ...

Waking up was the strangest thing. Everything felt just like every other morning but I sure had a lot of very bad and realistic dreams. So I open my eyes and I don't recognize the lighting above me. What the hell did I do last night? I can only remember the dreams. I'll have to ask somebody in hopes they can help me clear the fog. Wait a minute! Now it's not just like every other morning. I "feel" normal (no hangover or weird pains) but I usually, at least, remember snippets from the night before. Time to find out where I am bedded down. I ...

How do you turn off thoughts? It was easy in the beginning but now it's too much. Something is not right and the truth is gnawing at my brain trying to escape. Walking around in a fog is disturbing. I see them constantly without ever seeing them. I never see anything. I cannot focus. I see and eat meals but I do not taste the food. It is destroying me from the inside. This must be how a zombie feels. I talk to others but never really hear them or remember what was said to me or by me. My mind just keeps jumping back to the...
