Sometimes, not whoring myself to the task of keeping the masses informed of my insignificant life seems like a crime against humanity, if not against all of nature, if not against the entire universe, and maybe even if not against whatever contains that, if you can imagine such a thing....

But most of the time such endeavor feels like an utter waste of time, knowing full well it's all just so much self-centeredness, which any philosophy (or - gasp! - religion) worth more than two crusty turds would point out as being the only problem there could possibly be.

So, it's tough being rocked and hard-placed as we are.

Well, as I am, anyway. You may free no pressure whatsoever to "put out" in this wordy pixel way, and quite likely couldn't possibly see it as being self-centered, let alone see self-centeredness as a possible problem in this oddly dream-like reality we call The World.

Well, good for you, blissful patron of ignorance!

As for me, I'll continue to suffer without hope of empathy, whilst the rest of you bang away on them slowly-fading keypads, certain that your salvation via your lord and savior the great internets is imminent, if not well nigh at hand, foot, or other favorite appendage (boys, or girls with "outties" only, of course).

I'm reading my first Philip Roth book, but it's not all that Philip Roth idolators have cracked him up to be. But then, I'm only on page 54, and I think the main character is just about to have sex with his first college date. At least, his hands are groping her breasts through her bra, and she was not averse to his putting her hand on what, in this moment so all-important to species-continuance, is likely his favorite appendage. Well, on the outside of the pants, anyway. Be we all know that her non-aversion to such hand-placement can only mean all systems are go, ignition ready, and the "T-minus" count is somewhere in the blessed single digits range.

So please, Philip, don't disappoint me with a sudden display of frigidity. Although, damn, there's been a bit of foreshadowing that there may not be enough time to do the deed, so I'm worried for the main character on that account. But I'll cross my fingers and click on "Publish Post" and hope for the best, as always.

    Why thank you, MM&I! You've made my day, and possibly my week, although I won't go so far as to say my life, because that would require lottery winnings or, better yet, utter forgetfulness of the notion of "self".

    i like how you word your feelings, because i feel the same about the whoring my thoughts to the masses, after feeling like i could have gotten something done with the energy i waste on here, i somehow find a way to be satisfied of pouring my half hearted introverted ways, still wishing i had made actions from them which is why they aint worth shit..
     
     
    heres your empathy and hope in a short comment that god helped make that book worth your time.
     
    If romance novels came with men, than one day i might consider reading one :)

    UF: The book was quite good. Sad, but good. I'll be looking forward to more from that author. But now I've started one that I've been carting around for years after rescuing it from some bargain bin when I was with my previous girlfriend, probably some five years ago.

    I don't like the fact that it's 600+ pages long, though. I need to feel like I'm making progress with a book in order to completely enjoy it. I can spend a lot of time comparing the thinness of the pages I've read to the thickness of the pages remaining.

    As for this place, I don't see much of anything coming of this, other than being a place I can let go a little more. I once had a following of sorts in a completely different venue, and it was exhausting. That's from whence I say "you're only as good as your last post". But like I think I also said here in some comment or something, I really can't afford to get too involved here, like too much into the commenting and pouring over others' stuff. It's not that I'm not interested. There seems to be many quite fascinating characters in these parts. It's just a time issue, and the fact that I don't believe in the potential of the internets as I once did.

    Please let me know if you ever start reading romance novels, so I'll know in advance to avoid you. I'm kidding a bit, but the truth is my ex-wife inhaled them as though having run a marathon.

    Heh, maybe being married to be is like running a marathon....   ;-)

    haha. :) men, also, are like running a marathon, only good for exercise!

Leavin' work now ......
I know that some people would prefer it if I died, but too bad....
Every day I see evidence of a despairing mishap just rolling all over me. If I'm not hearing my mother yell, I hear people scoffing at me. Why has my life only amounted to be a complete failure? I thought that it was ok to please one's self because ps...
Exactly how much "in the image of God" are we? Do we have Godly powers to create matter even without knowing that we are? How do we define "reality" and what does science say about the matter?...
I really don't have much to say. Or do.

Today, I going to read blogs and comment.

Hopefully, I will have something great to say later....
