I was watching the second of Saturday night’s two episodes of Doubt (a series that I found has already been cancelled while putting this post together) when one of the characters did something that was so much like something I’d do – something I’ve done so many times – she said what she really thought at the worst possible time!
Well, I was finally forced to drag my ass into the V.A.’s urgent care clinic yesterday…
Fink’s “Sort Of Revolution” is one of those songs that just seems to go well with situations of high anxiety and anticipation. I’ve posted shortened versions of it myself, in SG-U: A New Metaphor For The Human Condition? and in Spinning Our Wheels On Spaceship Earth, and it was used again to close out last week’s episode of The Tomorrow People (which I finally got around to watching last night, before laying down for another night of restless sleep).
Anyway, those of you who read yesterday’s 99 Problems… post will understand why I woke up in this morning wishing I could just stay asleep until something worth getting up for happens. I imagine that this song would probably be playing in my head all through that long hibernation…
Perhaps the worst aspect of living as an “urban hermit” is having my enjoyment of the world outside limited mostly to what I can see through the “windows” of my TV and computer screens.

It will probably not surprise any of you to learn that the monastic lifestyle I’ve chosen for myself has a most decided downside. But, as much as I’d like to embrace to logic behind this wonderful image my good friend Rincewind posted, I know that logic can hold true only when I am able to return the favor to someone else. No offense to my female readers, but years of waking up alone has left me seeking relief wherever I can find it. Such as venting my angst while rocking to Hugo’s “99 Problems,” which I heard playing last night during the final credits of the movie Fright Night…
As if the revelations from my last post wasn’t enough, here’s yet another reason for me to turn off my TV and my PC: So I can take my rapidly aging ass outside!
You know, DirectTV ads like this one… Have pretty much convinced me that getting my TV through cable is a bad idea. But after seeing this ad from DISH… I’m beginning to suspect that the real danger… Could be watching TV in the first place! 😯 Of course, endless hours spent… May not be the…
A great song, from one of my very favorite bands!
You know, after doing this blogging thing for four years, I can honestly say that I feel more comfortable with this “virtual” community than with just about any “real” community I’ve ever been a part of. With its combination of both intellectual challenge and friendly camaraderie, it’s like having the best of what I had…
As most of you know, I have this depression problem and I live a life nearly as isolated as a hermit, so I depend heavily on things like TV, blogging, and surfing the net to distract me from thinking about, shall we say, “darker” things. And it was just a couple of weeks ago that…
