Absurd Thoughts
That went away, this came in. This went away too, that may come in. The thiss' and thats' never seem to end.

A self questioning sublimes on the surface waiting to break through the web so strong.A desperate wish to ask m... more...

Having a car and a girlfriend is the double whammy of highest order. I happen to have the misery of both. Last weekend we set off on a “long drive” excursion which she finds mysteriously romantic.
