sadness.

when we drown ourselves in our pitiful self-depreciation we're really only trying to fill ourselves with a superficial feeling that someone actually cares.
even if that means that that someone is only our very own selves.

sad huh?

////////////////

and a quote from one of the books im reading these days:

"In bed that night I invented a special drain that would be underneath every pillow in New York, and would connect to the reservoir. Whenever people cried themselves to sleep, the tears would all go to the same place, and in the morning the weatherman could report if the water level of the Reservoir of Tears had gone up or down, and you could know if New York was in heavy boots. And when something really terrible happened-- like a nuclear bomb, or at least a biological weapons attack-- an extremely loud siren would go off, telling everyone to get to Central Park to put sandbags around the reservoir."
-Extremely Loud& Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer

interesting idea huh. creates quite a dichotomy in the mind. one side is saying, this will be the end to california's drought problems! how innovative! how smart! but the other part is saying, there must be a lot of sadness in the world to generate so much water.

FOOD FO THOUGHT YA'LL
