Change of scenery...change of perspective...
These things do wonders.
I was upset...momentarily, because someone I'm close to was upset.
No more. Screw it. I don't care about what people think.
For me, this site is a game. Sure, some real connections can come from it. It can spill over into reality when people meet from here and become friends or more. But, in the end, this place isn't reality. It is the game we all play just to pass the time between events in our reality.
[lapses into movie quotes]
"You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, "Hey, the world's coming to an end!" and the first one says, "Well, I best go to the mission and pray," and the second one says, "Well, hell, I'm gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores," and the third one says "Well, I'm gonna finish the game." I shall finish the game, Doc."
I SHALL FINISH THE GAME.
