Nothing

Do you ever find yourself in a rut? You leave the same house at the same time every day, going to the same job to hear the same people complain about the same things day after day, as days become months with nothing new to mark them. What I’d give for a wild night of air hockey, an M&M Blizzard, and some horrible straight-to-video comedy worthy of my own MST3K treatment.

Years ago, Kenny and I sat in a theater picking The Fifth Element to shreds. Help me, Obi Wan. What’s my motivation? I’ll be in my trailer. God, we had fun. Today, I can’t remember the last time I went to the movies. Or rented one. And damn it, there’s even a Wallace & Gromit movie out there!

Where went the days of playing pool, bowling, swimming at the docks, perusing the bookstores, buying too many CDs, and driving aimlessly? When did getting out become going alone? When did it get so hard?

Nothing can fill your insides, and when it does you have nothing to lose and nothing to live for. Maybe you feel like you are good for nothing.

Amen, brother.
