thats my problem... connection... obsession... the need for connection... when i write, whenever i speak of ghosts im always refering to people, people who are not living their lives, but just killing time... does that make sense? sometimes i feel like im killing time, and all these things that are going on around me are just like being in a movie, where none of the characters are real... sometimes (in some moments) i feel like im watching myself in the movie, and for a brief moment i have to ask myself, 'am i really here, right now, in this moment'?....and im taken by these connections to people, these people in my lives that can be transitory or semi permanant... and i fall for people that i should know better than to fall for, but i do it anyways, and i betray people i should not betray because i get up on easy love... easy questions... easy answers...
what are we doing? walking wounded? all in a movie starring ourselves, playing ourselves, truly, wringing our hands and opressed by our jobs and in the end that beautiful moment when you walk down the asile to get your oscar, they pin wings to your back and give you a harp...
anyone understand?

Poe understood. "All the we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."
Well, Kid, must tell you I blame it all on TV and other violence thick media that we as a culture have become enveloped in. We have been dumbed down, we have been made numb, we have had our eye-lids taped open whilst the evil and violence was fed to us as fodder.
The WT Towers? How REAL did that feel? How real was Pearl Harbour to thousands who only HEARD about it, most a day or two after the fact? How many times can we watch the Zappruder film of JFK's head getting blown into a red mist before it becomes "just something we see"?
We don't internalize what we see, we pass it by, sampling this, tasting that, hearing some, ignoring others. We have become complacent and dull. Sheep..........waiting for the slaughter.
