My fury from an hour ago has given way to depression and a room full of broken glass and a smashed chair. I really dont think there's many good people left on this planet and I dont think there's much goodness left in me, and that really bothers me.

I wish the real world was more like SpongeBob. You know, at days end the best in people always seemed to shine through in that show and the protagonist was an all around good guy, and such a sweet and innocent character. Why couldn't this world be like that? Innocence is snuffed out like a candle in this hell, and disillusionment is too easy to catch a case of. And to think I was an idealist at one time, or an optimist.

As Martin Luther King said, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. The real world will be much better, given time. It already has improved a lot for a lot of people. For what it's worth, I think you're good, and other people can be too. You might not see it now, but there are places where most people are good.

Recently found out I love listening to Rage Against The Machine while driving fast. I wish I had a convertible to do this in.

I feel like I'm in hell. This is the worst kind of hell, where you see innocent people either die or lose their innocence. Im just so tired of it all. I wish I could run away and start a new life somewhere but where can I run to?

I love listening to ACDC or ZZ Top while driving way over the speed limit. The roads in my area have basically become a giant hotwheels race track and I get my kicks off this shit. That and sideshows. Those are cool too. Fuck yeah.

You probably can't run away and start a new life somewhere else. But there are always churches with good people, and you probably know people that are better. Being with those people will make things better, since it's like running away in a sense and it's more realistic.

There's something really enjoyable about breaking the rules of a terrible world that we're conditioned to accept, even if it is something minor like that.

The underlying reasons behind it are honorable, most people just give in to the status quo and give up on real change because it's easy. It takes a sort of strength not to go that way.

Yeah that would be great. I seem to get more annoyed at the things I can't control, though I think that's to be expected.

So many of the people I know are so fucked up. And of the few I knew who were good, half of them are gone.

More like Heloin.exe has been activated, but yet has to open all registers in order to function properly.

Unfamiliar surroundings and less than ideal bedding, you say? That would disorient the best of us.

I just assumed I had finally died and that the afterlife happened to look a lot tackier then I was expecting.

Mid century furniture and wood panelling. It's like all the worst parts of the 70s walked into the drawing room and vomited.
