I apologize to my faithful readers (both of you). I have been mostly positive all of my life. I, like any man, woman, or child, am guilty of weakness. Even a fighter (see last blog entry) has his moments of weariness. I am sorry because I have written quite a bit about how I have pined for someone that does not want me. Why? Because everyone craves comfort. Comfort is good though. It's one of our basic instincts. Instilled at birth, it is one of our better needs. Compared to our other birthed requisites (hunger/poopy), it's much more appealing. The lesson? Find those close to you that want to nurture your comfort, and comfort them back. That is the sum of every type of love. Do not seek it from those that do not wish to be there for you. Use the Ferber Method on yourself at the very least. Learn to self-sooth. Being alone is not the same as being without. Never be without. Find comfort in the simplest of things. Be present. Be with yourself, and people will be drawn to you. I am drawn to the person that pointed this out to me; a friend that claims to know this subject. With her wise words, I doubt that she will be alone for much longer.
I'm glad that someone claims to be my totem. I am never 'without' with good friends. They are never even 'alone' as long as I am here. I love being with people. Collectively, it is why we are here. To be with each other. I will always be with you, friend.
Oh, shit! I think I'm a Secular Humanist (without being pretentious about it).

P.S.: I love to write in the parenthetical. It allows me to be honest (with a dash of mild [very mild {borderline non-existant}] humor).
See, that last example was like Inception, except with parentheses.

P.P.S.: I go now to eat my son's leftover wings (yay!).
I less than three chicken wings.
