I shuffle, scuff, and stumble into each and every room

but no one seems to notice since they’re all obscurely tuned

to a joke of sorts set way up high in every single home

“There’s a cold front coming from Canada; looks like we’ll be in the teens”

it’s the millionth time I’ve heard this when I start to get what it means:

you’re never getting out of here

and you watch too much T.V.

Are you too involved or are you not involved enough? are you lacking a personality or is your personality the thing that’s filling your head with bad thoughts? are your ideas of friendship misconstrued or are you too delusional to maintain any relationships? can you stop questioning everything you do or is this sentence contradictory? if it all means nothing, then why are you making everything into such a big deal? maybe it feels like everything’s against you because it is. cause you’re stupid. cause you need to just stop thinking and jump off the edge and let life take care of itself so you can start enjoying it and forget that it sucked in the first place. time would speed up and you’d die faster and nothing else would change you’d just be ignorant and blissfully so. yeah ignorance is bliss, but it doesn’t seem so easy to become ignorant. maybe it’s a talent you’re born with. then again everyone’s ignorant to something. but you’ll never know that unless you weigh the odds and figure you’re not as smart as you think, you’ve just secluded yourself and you’re only window to the world is clouded with dumb. but that’s not the point, the point is that there probably isn’t a point but you get too caught up in the search for the point that you miss the point. you can’t get blood from a stone and you can’t get smart from dumb and you’re not smart cause you missed the point again cause you’re too dumb. that was dumb I’m just trying to sound smart but that’s dumb cause what’s the point? this meant nothing and you do, too.

Jeff Buckley, Lover, You Should Have Come Over
(A Voice To Hold In The Dark)

It’s never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder,
It’s never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her,
It’s never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter,
It’s never over, she’s the tear that hangs inside my soul forever.

The World’s Quietest Room

Scientists at Minneapolis’ Orfield Labs created their own soundless room, an anechoic chamber. Their studies have found that when putting subjects within the chamber, they begin to hallucinate within 30 minutes.

With an average quiet room having a sound level of 30 decibels, the anechoic chamber’s sound level is -9 decibels. The ceiling, floor, and walls of the chamber absorb sound rather than have it bounce off as normal objects do. The chamber is so quiet that the subjects can even hear their own organs functioning.

Although extremely interesting, the experience is rather unpleasant. Not one subject has spent more than 45 minutes in the chamber alone. Leaving a person to only their thoughts, the chamber could drive them insane.

Fri, 15 Feb 2013 06:31:32 -0500

sometimes i go to mcd’s and eat in the parking lot in my car alone and i start thinking if i choked on a chunk of the big mac i’m inhaling, i would most definitely die alone in the parking lot of mcd’s with a hunk of soggy burger in my throat and then i think even if i don’t die tonight, i’m still eating alone in the parking lot of mcd’s at 3:30 a.m. so which one is really worse? but then i start wondering if i’m subconsciously putting myself in this position and scarfing down my food as a sort of inconspicuous attempt at suicide but before i can reach a conclusion i realize i’ve eaten all my food, so i drive back through the drive-thru and find they’re only serving breakfast but i buy it anyway, so i guess that answers my question.

I’m sick of cliché people acting all the way through their day. They make it seem so easy to be content with mundane stupid shit. And they ask why you or others look so miserable but they can’t even see past that statement before their mind goes back to something even stupider. I bet they don’t question anything. I bet they don’t even think about things from any other perspective than their own. They never angle anything away from themselves. It’s always self-centered and unimportant shit. They want to make everything seem like it’s beautiful and everything always is great and they’re never sad cause the world is wonderful. How can you even appreciate anything beautiful if your eyes can’t see ugly? It’s not all beautiful, but somethings are, and you’d actually see it if you had something to compare it to.

Do you ever sit alone at night and drink all the whiskey you can stomach and then do nothing? Just sit inside that room and not watch TV or listen to music. Only the sound of the furnace kicking on accompanied by the crackle of your cigarette flaring. The dirty clothes on the floor are exactly where they always are. The bed is empty and unmade, exactly how it always is. A cloud of smoke clears only to be replenished. You think you might want to do something but you don’t really know what, so you just sit there and think. But then you can’t stop thinking and one thought clings to the next. Soon you start thinking about how you’re so angry all the time and it seems like the only emotion you’ve felt for months. You don’t have a clue what you’re so angry about but all the little moments throughout your day that you used to dismiss keep enraging you. It’d be nice if you could be happy again but you seem to pay better attention when you’re not blindfolded. So maybe it’s for the best. Maybe it’s how you’re supposed to be cause at least you can think beyond yourself and beyond what people just accept as real or nice. You kind of even like all the witty things you think of throughout the day that no one else hears cause you get some sort of self gratitude out of it. I guess it’s good, but you know it’s not. You know life would actually be easier to deal with if you could just shut out the majority of your thoughts. But you can’t turn it off cause there’s no button to push or switch to flip. You’re trapped in your own head with thoughts you don’t want and anger you can’t express.

What you need is to be free. To go into nature and breathe. Look at all the bugs and tall trees you can and know that they’re alive. They are living creatures; the same as you. The pebbles you see when you crouch down have had a long journey before you stepped on them. They were part of bigger rocks maybe even boulders. No one noticed but it happened anyway. You need to stand out in the rain and think about how far those raindrops fell. The clouds you’re looking at are made of water even though they look like cotton. You need to walk outside on a starry night and really think about all the stars and planets you see. Know that it’s only a minute fraction of the universe that you’re actually gazing into. The size and complexity of the universe is a thing that you couldn’t possibly comprehend. The moon exists every second of every day and even though you don’t think about it all the time, it’s there. There’s asteroid belts made of blown up planets that you can’t see ever, but they’re there, too. Their journey was a long and intricate one, as was the pebble’s, the raindrop’s, and yours. It’s not that anything that happens in life actually matters, but you can find beauty in the fact that it’s going to happen anyway. You’re a part of nature and nature is a part of you and that’s it, there’s nothing else. You share something with the world around you on such a basic level and it’s wonderful. The feeling won’t last, but at least you were able to recognize it for what it was.
