Today a bought a big clean white book to stick photographs in to record memories and times and places. To record happy times and remember when i was happy.To record sad times and remember when i was sad. And so life takes shape, it's real and not mundane rambling that goes from thought to thought, place to place, person to person. Hours flit. I talk and listen to myself and it's deeply dull. I like to listen to people, surround myself with them and make myself feel less and less involved. I'm lazy. I don't work hard. I'm spoilt. We all are here. I want to be a comic but i'm not funny. I want to be a writer but i can't write. I want to live but i feel dead. I want to be popular but i'm not. Sadness is better than nothingness, i tell myself. And nothingness is at least something. Words are limited.Words are endless. Words can never describe the feeling that goes beyong the dictionary. Beyond reality. Suicide notes can never describe the feeling just before you know you're about to die, and that you've chosen to die, and that you want to. Choice is unlimited. and daunting. Right and wrong, good and bad. The eternal cosmos is bleak. My writing is bored. I'm writing now because i'm bored, Because i have no-one to talk to. I'm surrounded by metal chairs and people and i think that i've been here for months and months. Quiet, unnoticed and mute. Scared to my core of something that i cannot name. It has no name. Words are useless. I am useless. I am bored and tired and can't imagine not being this way. Days fall into nights that erupt into days that trickle into nights that skulk into days and nights and days and nights. I'm still here. 020108 ... j [present tense.] u are happy are alive are looking for that special someone until they find u are looking for the special purpose until it finds u are visualizeing the perfect u, the 'u' that you would like to "die" with at age 70 or so are breathing deeply are watching negavity change to positive are not worrying are happy 020322 ... phil energy, bones, yellow 020323 ...
