Desperate fears stare at us from their dark places, saying nothing and only being. Governing purely through presence and with no real intent.

I swear I'd pay just to read a book full of my own journal entries. Shit's simply amazing. It's like philosophy-in-a-box. Or more appropriately, philosophy-in-a-blog.

Man does not want to be happy. I'm convinced of it. Perhaps Freud was correct when he postulated a Thanatos urge, (Thanatos being the Norse god of death or something of that sort) our desire to destroy ourselves. People (including myself) mis-label it as a suicide urge, but I don't think so. I think humankind honestly desires to see itself in pain and destroyed as quickly as possible. Why else would we do a goddamn thing that caused us any more pain or suffering, but that we want to immolate ourselves? Even our very cells are only programmed, not destined, to shut down. Why do we want to die and be unhappy? Why are we not twitching nervously at the very thought of being Not Happy, Not Healthy, Not Whole? But instead we let ourselfs melt into a woeful morass.

I'm too cynical to write satire. Or rather, I'm too serious when I get to the point of writing. My whole sense of humour is based on an extremely acerbic, absurdist sense of satirical wit. But to actually write it seems beyond me.

You left a comment on my page that I would best describe as a "bummer." Or, a crock of moose shit, if you would rather. My reply seemed, at the time, a perfect description of what I was thinking.
This comment is just me (being a somewhat mediocre writer myself) admiring the style you use in your informal musings: the comments you leave, and your journal entries.
I would really like to see you write satire, especially with your self-proclaimed tendancy to challenge even people that you agree with.
Just a suggestion.

You know, I'll start drawing whole pictures just for you fucks. I'll draw all of you opuses of visual derivations of my emotional self. They'll scream about how I want you all to look at me, and even though all of humanity seems to be caught on the idea of doing their fucking best to make each other unhappy, you all will do it. Because even though I'm telling you right here that I want your attention I crave your attention I need to be felt, you'll feel like I'm somehow SECRETLY screaming out for help. Because no one really hears another person talk. They're just waiting for their turn to speak. Yes, I quoted fight club. But it's true. When's the last time you honestly absorbed what another person was saying? Even if you loved that person. I know every time I try, I just keep thinking about when it's my turn to reply, and just how cool I'll sound! and ridiculous shit like that. If we all listened to each other just like, once a month, maybe our lives wouldn't all seem to be decaying from the moment we hit puberty on.

i woke up insanely early this morning...and i was thinking about this past month, trying to make sense of time...i remembered i had received lengthy comment from you on one of my journal entries...and that i had replied...i felt i should clarify something...i said i was uncomfortable because i didn't know who you were...but truthfully i'm sure i do know, and that's what made me uncomfortable....of course i could always be wrong...either way it doesn't really matter....it's just incredibly early and something made me think i should explain myself.
