Ok hi.
Did you know that humans are the only beings in the world that are aware of the fact that they will someday die. Lions and hermit crabs just walk around completely oblivious to their mortality.
That is the only thing that really sets us apart. I wonder if we are the only ones who know OTHER things will someday die. Or if a lion looks and his buddy and thinks "poor guy...such a short lifespan" without knowing he has one too.
I am such a lion. I am such a hermit crab.
I have no idea that I can die someday. Which is good and bad. To be honest I am quite scared of dying. Terrified actually.
Nothing brought this up really. Just thinking.
Have you ever heard the song "Cigarette" by Ben Folds Five. It is so...real. It's about this man who takes care of his sick wife, and he is soooooooo tired. But he can't sleep, because he's afraid the drugs will knock her out, and she'll burn the house down with a cigarette.
I wonder if she's aware of her mortality.
Too much wondering today.
I have to go to court in a few hours. I really don't want to. I mean I feel sick to my stomach about it. I really don't want to. But I must. And it sucks. Hopefully this will be the end of all that old school nonsense.
Gotta run.

"Fred Jones was worn out
From caring for his often
Screaming and crying wife
During the day but
He couldn't sleep at night for fear that she
In a stupor from the drugs that didn't
Ease the pain would set the house ablaze
With a cigarette"
current mood:  nervous
current music: Ben Folds Five - Cigarette (comment on this)
