unnatural exhaustion

I’ll be honest.

I’m starting to worry.

Am I dying?

shrinkin’

I wish, but I don’t feel like I could ever open up to a therapist.

I like the show though.

Harrison Ford is one of my spirit animals (we share a birthday… Patrick Stewart as well, which is equally cool).

(Also Julius Caesar and Cheech, so you know, pretty good crew.)

relaxed achievement?

It’s weird what a massive burden having a clear to do list on a regular basis can do for one.

Portugal (and subsequent crushing depression) really put me far back; being able to do some of the things I’ve pushed off from day to day feels really good. Like more relaxed.

Getting ahead.

Progressing.

Progress, not product, am I right? (First draft done.)

laidback

I don’t know why I get this all the time. People seem to think I’m zen.

My response is usually, you don’t know me very well.

It’s not laidback; it’s defeat. It’s resignation.

It is surrender to hopeless.

strokin’?

I’m re-reading the scene I wrote yesterday and I have questions about my mindset.

For example, I used the word dude instead of dug, and referred to someone getting on their hands and knees as being on “all floor”.

I might be glitching out.

good friday

You know what? It was a good Friday.

Time off, time to write, time to read and play video games?

I’ll fuckin’ take it.

welcome to the shitshow

Holy fuck. Couldn’t focus on anything at all today.

Failure of a day. Failure of a man.

I think maybe it’s time to go.

fuckin’ weird, man

Strange things are happening today. My body appears to be doing things without my mind, and my mind is doing things and forgetting them completely.

Who’s in charge, you say?

I’ve no idea.
