Disconnected Over Time
“Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana.”
—Groucho Marx
Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m running out of time. There’s so much I want and need to do: projects to start, projects to finish, things to learn, places to go, and so many other things. Sadly, I’ll never do most of it in the short amount of time I have here. Sadder still, I feel like I’ve ignored something I want and need the most: human connections.
I can’t remember if my lack of a social life is a result of working too much or if working too much is a result of my lack of a social life. Either way, I work a lot and I don’t have a social life. I’ll admit, I’m not a social butterfly; I’m a bit of a recluse. It’s my nature and I’m perfectly fine with that. I don’t have a lot of friends. I’ve always believed that it’s quality that’s important, not quantity.
Almost all of my friends are girls. Yes, I have a lot of girl friends; just no girlfriend. It’s always been like that, even when I was young lad. I don’t know why. Maybe I’m really a girl with boy parts. I seem to get along with females more and I find them more interesting than males. Plus, they’re better to look at. Oh, in case you’re wondering and for the umpteenth time, I’m not gay! A lesbian maybe.
Over the past few years, the only contact I have with my modicum of friends is through the internet. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a great way to stay in touch with people. It just seems that it’s replacing people actually seeing one another. I just fear that the closer we all become, the further we really are from each other.
I know what your thinking: “Why do you have to be such a miserable f@%# all the time!? Why don’t you just go live in a cabin in the middle of the woods!?” Well, I don’t have an answer for your first question. As for your second question; I will, but only if there’s Wi-Fi.

You’re wonderful, Mr. Scott. You can always come and visit us! My boyfriend is pretty much a lesbian too.

Gosh, thanks.
Blogging a blog, very meta. Maybe your blogging of my blog will get blogged and the universe will collapse in on itself. Anyway, I’d be flattered and tickled pink if you blogged this little universe. (Oops, I’m so excited I just peed a little.) Let me know if you do so I can make sure I have a clean shirt on.
Maybe I’ll go see Notes on a Scandal today. It feels like a movie day.
