I just realized that is essentially my current problem.

After I graduated college, I decided I wanted to ride my bicycle across the US. After I did that, I kinda got depressed. So I found a tour between MT and AK. Then I decided to move to AK. And things were good.

But I needed a change and decided to move closer to my aging mom in NJ. But now, I'm kind of adrift.

Has this happened to you? And how did you get over it?

i realized quickly in life that goals were kinda empty. however, they are useful to keep you from going into the shitter-- that's where the real pain lives. avoid at all costs.

exactly. knox is the new william blake, who wrote "the most sublime act is to set another before you." well, we're "post-modern" (pffft) and jaded but we still need this shit, right?

i'm currently working on various things that keep me sane. without them, i'd spend all day here writing crap.
