the whispering

it is an indicator of insanity. yet, it is what keeps me sane. there is peace and acceptance in knowing that one is not alone in the wide world.

seems strange to realise that multitudes of humans expire annually from loneliness and/or neglect. wasteful.

*but, humanity is a virus upon the earth – slaughter them all*

the voices give opinions, advice, encouragement, knowledge is shared...

This isnt me, im not mechanical

mr manson once said that ...

What if, due to our subjectivity, we ARE alone and we should just find peace in the fact? (v crappy attempt at philosophy... :s)

I am afraid that if we scrape away our delusions, we are pretty much alone.

You learn who you can trust, and for what, but...

...bottom line, the only people who get a "coffin made for two" are Chang and Eng Bunker.

I believe he also said "Check me out, guys. I'm going to rub my nuts and ass on this security guard's head."

Something I can't help thinking about is how overcrowded this planet is getting.

Maybe it's a good thing that more and more people are either becoming realising that they prefer being alone, or turning gay?

I take comfort in the fact.

I think Mr Manson was a little bit harsh there.

mr. wizard,
that seems like an incredibly lonely thought. therefore, i will clutch onto my delusions for dear life / sanity.

morb,
why would anyone wanna do that? but, if you're gonna do it, you should probly do it right. the security guard should be bald!

mike,
i think the cities are over-crowded, not the planet. ever been to the kalahari? karoo? antartic? the world needs more farmers. so, people will move out of the cities and into the more rural, middle-of-nowhere sort of places.

i dont think i could turn gay for anyone or anything. not even for company. isnt it supposed to be something you're born with?

whispering winters,
does mr manson ever do anything in moderation?

It's sad sometimes that one feels alone even in the presence of others. Family, even our closest friends. That used to be my curse in highschool, until I started sharing my thoughts and feelings with them. I merely strengthened my connections with those I could trust. Trust was always, and still is the greatest risk for me to take, if not for us all. It's hard to trust one's own instincts since there are no absolutes, no guarantees.

Hmmm. You're right that the cities are overcrowded, but I think the social nature of human beings, and also the convenience of the cities, means that people will always live in cities and not in the middle of nowhere.

So, in that sense, the planet is overcrowded.

I'm not saying people turn gay to avoid overpopulation. I'm just saying that the prevalence of homosexuals might curb the population... but I'm not going to get into that. :P

lost soul,
i know what you mean. trust is a biggie.. but, my gut has yet to disappoint me. :D

death,
good one. ^_^ gonna have to think if im gonna top that one.. but thinking hurts my brain right now.

michael,
ive wondered about that too - the world is retaliating, trying to get the population down to more suitable numbers.

ie, AIDS and open homosexuality. this equals less spawnlings. higher mortality rate..

:) will the virgins, and not the meek, inherit the earth? ^_^

go figure!

aren't we cheerful?

nobody is ever REALLY alone...
everyone has their ups and downs, nobody can be cheerful ALL the time...

all we need do, is find our place where we FIT... *sighs*

Good point, snoops.

I've started to find peace in my singledom. All that means is that I've adjusted myself to limit my ups and my downs. It's great.

Neko (what is you real name anyhow?). I'm glad you concurr.

snoopi,
i dont mean to be less than cheerful. it just sorta happens. most of the time.

ah - the journey to finding the fitting place... there are volumes to be written on that excursion.

mike,
im afraid im one of the sad kitties that feel that she has to be half of a couple to be one whole person.

i dunno, it just makes me happier.

or less less than cheerful, if you like

do you have an email address? for there we can speak of names, lest the fantasy be corrupted.

seems to be you go on every day... just going through the routine...
you need some change..

change is good, coz it teaches us what we really like...

for instance, just a little while ago i learnt that i don't like frozen sausage rolls... stupid SS people, not defrosting their take-aways, just handing them to students who pay through the ears for them (they then expect you to queue for 10 mins just to get to a microwave oven, which my 2 pies had to share with some other nameless person's sausage roll... i wonder if his was still frozen too)

what i'm getting at is, try different things.. get away for a bit.. the other day i played dance dance revolution for the first time and found that i quite like it, even though it's hard as hell...

thanks, mike.

you will hear from me soon.

snoopi,
i believe i have jumped upon that very same dance dance revolution machine. altho i beat everyone who was with me, it is quite difficult.

i was inspired to buy the home version..

then my sanity and credit card bill caught up with me. it happens.

my job and studies keep my binded. i do what i can for entertainment.
