Tortured by Nothing

I can’t help it. I ponder life almost incessantly. On my late night walk tonight, I reflected on how our civilization has conquered almost everything. Everything but immortality and meaning. When I stood outside my apartment, in 45 degrees of winter, with fire in my hand, a super-warm jacket and the knowledge that I can…

A Girlfriend on Each Continent

If I could truly have the life that I wanted, this is what I’d create: a girlfriend on each continent. Obviously, that means I’d live the life of a traveler. Ok, maybe not Antarctica. Well, if Antarctica, then I’d probably only see her once every two to three years (which, if she lives in Antartica,…

My Way Out

Yesterday, I’m lying in bed. Thinking. My life has been messy lately, starting with my inability to sleep with any semblance of normality. Couple that with not having enough money, needing it, not being able to find a job… and it led me to a thought: Wow. It sure would be nice to go crazy. …
