A Little Summary, and a Little Lackluster
We’ll, I’ve reached the end of one year. Packing up, I thought to myself that working life was a rather poor bargain… that after one year, I didn’t really have a great deal to show for it. I wondered whether I improved myself in any significant or substantive way… and I couldn’t really say that…
Anxious
I’ve spent a fair bit of time deliberating on whether I should go to some social event. It’s interesting how I phrase it really… as “whether I should go”. Of course, I suppose I really should… it does almost seem obligatory. And of course… if I then entertain the question – which barely needs to…
A Clearing?
I can’t even tell if I’m at impasse anymore – I only feel a little nervous tension in my gut. I think of what I must prepare for… whether I must prepare for it… and in the back of my mind I have to admit, I do think about fleeing the whole situation. Once again,…
A Little Forlorn
I’m in something of a sour mood. I’m writing from my desk, my “work desk” I suppose… and although I so often feel that there can be no true words written here… or that the words that I do write fall lifeless to the ground… I still feel like writing. I don’t exactly know what…
An Impasse
I don’t know I’ve reached something of an impasse. I don’t if I’ll quietly come to an impasse, find myself conflicted, and out of inertia or indolence, find myself going down the past of least resistance. I don’t mean to feel sorry for myself, althoughit often sounds like I am constantly moping when writing here.…
Marionnette
I know I’m terribly abused here. Every time I leave, I realize how badly I needed to get away. Not long after leaving the grounds I come to my senses, and begin to see with a little more clarity. I wake up to my rights in some way and realize what I’ve missed. I question…
A Day Without Internet
I’m once again reminded that the internet – the great bastion of freedom – is not so free. I’m typing behind the Great Firewall at the moment with a connection that can barely go above 40kB/s. I remember once being amazed at those speeds about twenty years ago. Things really aren’t so bad here, but…
A Little Desultory
It’s been quite a while. I don’t know why it’s taken so long to write, especially since I rather liked what I’d written before… I’ve thought of a few things in the intervening time. Poignantly, I thought to myself, after laughing lightheartedly and enjoying a rather tender moment, that even in these tender moments I…
A Few Scattered Thoughts
It’s a little late at night – not too late, but… relatively late. There’s noise in the next room over. I wonder whether it’s tied to the events of the day and my mind turns a little. I think, perhaps it is, but, I shouldn’t be concerned with these things. I thought today that I…
A Little Limp
I thought earlier of sharing this website with one close to me, but I’ve since pulled back – at least for now. I was contacted earlier by a close friend, and my response was rather cheerful. The friend enquired how I was, and I communicated how things were “on the up and up” and that…
