And the clock read 8.14 when I opened my eyes. Why the hell can't i just sleep? ...used to be able to sleep a good 14, 15 hours when i could...
hold off on the beer for a little bit, i thought. maybe i'll do laundry. nah, changed my mind, no reason for clean clothes... no where to go. paced around the house for a little bit. damn dog won't stop barking. guess he doesn't have anything better to do. maybe try sleeping? perhaps, he can't either.
wasting time.
crawled back in bed for a bit. turned on the tv. gosh, i love this movie!
"go sell crazy somewhere else, i'm all stocked up here."
I'm not even comfortable, pull the blankets up, turn to my side, fluff my pillows. damn these springs. they're hurting my back again.
-But as uncomfortable as i am -I just cannot bring myself to move from this.
Lady on the screen is fighting with her mom. all she wants to know is how to spell a goddamn word. and i'm trying to do is fight your imprint out of this mattress so I could get comfortable.
Con-science, conscience. yes that is how you spell it, your mom was right.
And maybe... just maybe...... this is,
"As Good As It Gets"
It's funny, you know, everyone wants to live this movie life where everything works out in the end. Take the classic chick flick for instance-
You've got the girl, who is well off, taking care of herself, but is just at this emotional breaking point because as much as she has everything in her life, she feels empty. She needs someone to fill this void. Prince Charming strays into her life, and sweeps her off her feet. An hour later, they live happily ever after.
Where's the sequel? Is the the only thing (the guy) that this gal was missing? Her feelings just stopped there, all her insecurites of being alone just went away? ...just because someone smiled at her? If so,
I want to live the movie life too. But for me, there's always something more. I always want something more. Just because you sweep me off my fucking feet doesn't mean that I am going to stop feeling lonely inside, even when you are holding me. Doesn't mean that i'm going to stop wondering what all this means-
Although I wish I could. I wish my movie ended there, happily ever after.
And really, in the sappy chick flicks, dramas, horrors, actions, comedies....
The good guy or gal always gets what they want in the end.... most of the time. Everything ends up ok. And even when it doesn't we understand why it happened and it makes sense. We say, 'it's just a movie'. But is it really?
And I was reading Words online the other night and someone had written something that caught my eye. I'm not sure of the exact quote but i give full credit to the person who wrote it. Although, i cannot recall the alias. Apologizes.
Anyway, "I am here to play the supporting role in your dreams." I thought that to be beautiful. but turn it around now.... You are here to play the supporting role in my dreams. Still not right... something missing.... okay, i got it, change the word dream to life. You are here to play the supporting role in my life. Role, movie, life... movie life is what we are living.
We are all directors- but yet i'm lacking something- something like direction.
And someone once tried to direct my movie. They tried to take it away from me- I didn't need that..... I needed that supporting role.
And I act it all- the drama, the action, the comedy, the horror. But none of it would be complete without you. You put me up on the big screen.

That nearly made me cry. I guess everyone knows what that loneliness feels like, but here it's really well articulated. Sometimes you just feel dark and empty inside and what makes it so bad is there's always a tiny little part of you that wonders if everyone else doesn't.

If you happen to come across this, i give you complete credit to your words i used. they are lovely. hope you don't me referring to it. :)
 
^^^Cool! I dont mind at all.
Interesting discussion, btw.
My sig was actually inspired by the movie 'Waking Life'. One of the philosophy-talkin' dudes in the movie says someting along the lines of- "self-awareness is realising that you are a character in someone else's dream."
I had to take this idea and come up with a slogan. I think my sig sounds like an ad for a bank or something, and I like that :)

Summed up how I feel.
 
THREE people had made a reference to one paragraph that i had written-
about being swept off your feet and the loneliness not going away, reguarless.
And I just find it so odd, that no matter if you feel that way, that there's people out there, who get what you are saying, that feel the same way....
There's always that person in your life.... that just can't see that. that just can't get it.
And that's what sucks the most.
That's what makes it so lonely.
