And what the hell is a solipsist extraordinaire ???

Well, solipsism refers to the belief that you are the only real thing in existence, that your own mind is the only one that's real. It's just indicative of how isolated I feel, it's like everyone else around me isn't really there. They're like cardboard cut-outs while I'm play-acting on a stage somewhere.

woah thats deep cheaptrickfan

and totally badass

i'm so adding that into my content of philosophies

very cool i'm going to read up on that more


It's really interesting as a literary device too. Kurt Vonnegut addresses the issue in Breakfast of Champions. His main character, Dwayne Hoover, became convinced that he was the only real person and that everyone else was a robot. In the story, he's obviously meant to be insane, as you can see by his actions.

I think that it's interesting how the characters can be viewed: insane, depressed or just totally disconnected from other people.

I really like Vonnegut's books. My favorite is Slaughterhouse Five.

I read Jonathan Livingston Seagull several times when I was younger. I may have to dig out a copy and re-read it. At the time I read it, I saw the theme as more than just doing your own thing, but as a search for enlightenment. Of course I was going through a Buddhist phase at the time, so I probably saw everything in those terms. :p

i'm running out of storage room for my drawings/paintings and these boards i've been using are too big to try and hang on my already over-nailed walls. they just rest against my windows/walls crowding in on me.
 
Pineapples, how I wish I had some pineapple or tangerines, any fresh fruit really.
oh and how I believe love is nothing more than subcoinicous plot on my behalf bent on destroying me. Damn PTSD and abandonment issues... *shakes fist at celling fan*
 
The thing I'm thinking about right now was what I thought up a couple moments ago before having to register and sign up to this site...

Being alone is a time for self reflection and contemplation. Ask your self what your purpose is and the purpose of what existence is. Why do we feel this need for companionship? Is this just a natural occurence caused by our animal instincts or is this something much more advanced beyond known comprehension?

Right now, I am alone. The more alone I am, the more I learn about what I feel. Learning to accept and be more empathetic to my surroundings.

I am a 30 year old man who feels and acts much younger then what is asked for in a 30 year old. I have 2 failed marriages and 2 kids. Each child from each exwife. Lost a job, 2nd marriage is failing, riddled with debt, and moving back in with my parents.

And this is what is happening currently. I could go back and tell you about the countless amounts of times having to goto psychiatrical hospitals. Dealing with depression all through out my life.Doing drugs such as weed, amt, dmt, 5meo-dipt, shrooms, lsd, 2ct7, ayahuasca, cocaine, crack. Having to have teachers escort me from class to class so that other students wouldnt beat me up(because they thought i narced on some kid from a drug bust). And because of this event of getting arrested at school and everyone thinking I narced on him was at a school in a smaller city, everyone knew. Hence, I couldnt go to any stores because I would get harassed, couldnt goto any friends house because their parents didnt want me around. No friends, only enemies. Noone liked me, noone wanted me around. All you have is your bitterness, your loneliness, and your sadness. I was utterly alone. Rejected from society. In my room, crying continuously.

Needless to say my experiences with human interaction has caused some anxiety in my behaviour.

Because of my past experiences, I have noticed some tendencies of being distant. Its hard for me to express how im feeling, and hard for me to show someone that I care. Afraid of opening up, making myself vulnerable.

I am not one that you should try and control. That is the reason for failed marriages. Unhappy woman whos reality is out of control for them and by creating an artificial sense of control, they would try controlling their husband, "me".

I have several dilemmas at the moment regarding the future.

Should I try and get back out in the playing field of relationships??

I have all sorts of baggage. I was married twice already and I have 2 kids. What woman in their right mind would be interested in m?

Or should I bask in solitude, and try and create inner harmony within my person?

Right now, Im trying to figure out who I am, and why im here. Are we here just so we can collect paycheck after paycheck and watch reality TV? Are we here, so that we can ridicule everyone around us in hopeing to make yourself feel just a little better? Is purpose to drown ourselves in chemical dependancies? Is purpose irrationality?

I feel as if I am a torchered soul. Being tormented by outside forces. Im trying to find wholeness with self but by body tries and rejects.

Surrounding myself amongst nature is what truely makes me happy. Steering away from this artificial reality we like to live in.
