Okay. I have come to a decent point in this tragic story. I feel a bit better, so much in fact that I can now eat again... 
Today I sat with my family and watched Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind. Which I loved, but (of course) everyone else in the house commented on how wierd and stupid the movie was. Stating that they did not understand what it was about or that things were too abstract for them. Granted they did not use those exact words.... In fact, I am making them seem much smarter in my explanation of it......
It just saddens me that nobody seems to use their brains anymore. Nobody reads, or thinks for themselves. No one creates or has one single urge to become smarter than they are....
What's with that? Is Bush's stupidity infecting the rest of the nation?
It just makes me feel sad to know that my family is full of simple idiots. As is the world.
But, I do not wish to be negative tonight. I really feel pretty good. My face isn't hurting that much, even if it is still pretty swollen. I have to go to work again tomorrow, and I'm glad that it's getting better in time for that. I just know that I will feel twice as good once I can stop wearing a bandage.

Funny Story, I'm actually related to a real life pirate. One of the more famous ones as well... Captain Kidd. Wierd, but he's in my family tree.

and I watched Eternal Sunshine... yesterday... oh man, I cried... what a fantastic film!
I'm glad to hear that you've come to terms with your true pirate nature.
Have you ever tried to count your scars? So many of mine come from horrible incidents, yet a smile when I recall them. Why does it take a person 2 minutes to tell people where they come from, yet it takes 15 minutes to explain where a scar comes from? Your scars are your best stories. Sometimes I try to count mine, and use them to gauge my toughness. So far, I'm only mildly tough. When I'm 40, I'll be a hardass. Emotional scars are different. There's always too many to count, and the memories don't make you smile. I wonder if swallowing your emotions is really as bad for you as they say? And if so, how long do I have left before my head explodes?
The trick with those is to occupy yourself. I just had the book 'Bad Omen' recommended to me. I'll have to check that out. But right now I'm reading 'The Complete Stories Plays and Poems of Oscar Wilde'. That guy is so unbeleivably quotable. I hope some day I'm quotable. But so far, the best one I have is, "It's difficult to type the sound of me crying". ... Pathetic.
Well, I hope I helped you occupy your time. Untill next time,
