My Diary entry

[ellis]

Chapter 1.

I am born. It was a hot day in June and my poor dear mother suffered greatly. That is she suffered until they put her under and removed me from within her protective carcass using scalpel and retractor. That was my initiation into what we may call a "life" - such as it is.

Nothing much happened in years 0 to 5. That brings to mind a question. When you are born, on that day, it is said that you are 0 years old! But in fact, isn't it true that you are approximately 9 months old at that point?

I watched TV for many years and became withdrawn. By age 11 I was withdrawn. That was really the end. I haven't changed much since then.

Stay tuned for Chapter 2 of my diary.

Skip ahead to chapter 28. My facial hair has never been this....contiguous. And I don't have to shave. I can wear shorts to work. But still, unfulfilled, unhappy. Have I gone mad? No. Sane, as sane as anyone.

What do I want. I can keep moving but wherever I go, I still find myself there. Its too much me. ME ME ME. I need something else. I've gone too far with my stubborness. Time to accept the facts of life.
