Fine, you were right...again...

I stand firmly by my statement of being the biggest coward I've ever met...

I recently got back from California for Summer Nationals for fencing and...it was so...surreal. I mean, it's like it never happened. I sit here at the computer blogging, just like I did before I left...it's kind of sad really, I just went back to my old life, nothing has changed, but did I except something to change? okay okay, yes ALOT changed, but I still feel so...detached from everything y'know?

It's like I'm watching my life rather than living it. Like it's a movie and I'm just a spectator with a bag of popcorn and a 46 ounce Coca Cola...but I don't WANT to feel this way, I want to FEEL like I'm living. I miss that feeling. I read other people's blogs and they are like, "go out and live life to the fullest." "Don't take anything for granted." "Live every minute like it was your last." "Always tell people that you love them." yadda yadda yadda...and I've tried, but I don't feel like I've succeeded because it seems no matter how hard I try I'm still floating. floating (and I'm not talking about the after effects of nyquil) from experience to experience and not learning anything because I can't FEEL anything...

At Nationals I got to feel again, and it was the most liberating experience of my life. To feel fear, joy, sadness, anger, love, frustration. To go from jubilant, and care free one minute, to being disapointed and flustered the next...it was beautiful...

I just wish (there's that word again) I could FEEL more often...

Sounds to me like you think about it too much. But we all have those days... or at east I do. I used to wake up in the morning and I'd forget who I was for a second. Life goes nowhere, you don't advance, emotions and feeling are numb. Youre in a huge grey void and you'd give anything to feel that fire.

Life is an art, not a science. You can't be taught how to live, but you already know. Really there is nothing that I can say other than "don't worry about it."

Peace until later.

Go jump off a cliff then try driving a car through a river. Then you might want to try starting the fire station on fire... or a good one is go sun baithing wearing all black and a ski mask and wait till you pass out. Oh, or you could initiate a car chase or laugh milk out your nose.

Thats what I do when I feel like I'm not living.
