I want offspring, Lindsey is a strange chick, Robinson Crusoe

WELCOME

I want offspring.

I want a child.

I need a woman who is willing to cooperate with me on this adventure.

I just got done reading Robinson Crusoe.

It is the 'Bible Of The Unconquerable.'

Writing tonight 25 minutes.

Read at least 2 hours every night.

Wanted to give WDAV ten dollars a month, but they didn't pick up the phone.

Cat Gray at my feet.

I read, but didn't understand all I read. Here is a quote from my facebook feed tonight:

'The main motivation for me to read is understanding. There's no motivation to read if I'm trying my best to understand it, and it's still going right over my head.'

Lindsey is a strange chick. I want to marry her, but she gives me no attention, no consideration. I feel that if we lived in the same town, then it could work, but we don't. I don't really think I'm gonna uproot my life to move down there to Savannah in order to be with her. I want a car, but a car would be too expensive. I'd prob'ly have to pay at least $400 towards the car each month, and I can't afford that. If I had a car, however, I could travel with my cats and go visit Lindsey whenever I wanted. As it is, the cats are a problem; I have considered leaving the back door open and leaving them plenty of food & water in big containers so that I would be able to leave briefly on a necessary vacation (the kennel is $10 a night per cat); then I would take the Greyhound bus or the plane or the train. Then you have to consider the coronavirus. I think I'll just wait until that virus is no longer such an eminent threat to leave Ashe County. This is my only home. I don't have a house anywhere else. Lindsey is so unreliable that I don't want to have to count on her for housing if I go to Savannah; my parents won't let me stay at home; hence, this is my 'only' home. 

I am sick of people.

Robinson Crusoe is the cheery, bright, positive account of a man who maintains his sanity in the face of formidable loneliness. If you were stranded on a desert island for 28 years, do you think you could face society again without hallucinations? He doesn't see anyone for 27 years, and then Friday lands on his island, and he starts to converse with him as if he had just been in society yesterday. Defoe deals with the issue of Crusoe's loneliness and isolation as though it weren't even there. 

Crusoe is a lower middle class level headed man. He is pragmatic, healthy, and sound. Defoe deals with the issues his seclusion must have brought his mind by simply ignoring them.

25 minutes have passed...

Until next time.

  1. Why won't your parents let you stay at home?

  2. My dad won't let me stay at home because of what my mom says, which is that she just feels tense when I am around. I just make her feel uncomfortable. I am simply a cause for stress whenever I am around. This comes from years when I lived at home and I insisted on smoking pot even though it was against house rules. Disagreements. I wouldn't obey their house rules, so they developed an association between me staying at home and anxiety and strain.
