over the previous decades, your body had built up certain chemical defenses to all that irritation. now that sources of that aggravation have disappeared, your system is imbalanced, perpetually keyed up for stress that never comes. no wonder that instead of calming you down, your new lifestyle has left you feeling listless and depressed.




This explains much of my last two weeks, actually.

the answer is simple: begin drinking heavily, and i don't mean in that charin sort of a way where you're wandering the produce aisle naked. then go out and find the nearest cop and take the wildest swing you can muster. this will reintroduce some much needed tension and adversity back into your life. i feel that it's needed right now.




This part may explain why my hand has been hurting the last few days.
