the world in my eyes
Yes, I realize how weird it is that I write as if I had a penis.
I don't understand why there's this stigma on being alone.
Being a loner is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes, a person just needs some time off to reflect on their life and figure things out on their own. Sometimes, a person just needs some peace and quiet to think.
When I'm sitting in the D.C. eating by myself, I get a lot of thinking done. Everyone else around me is chatting and laughing and having a good time, but how much thinking are they doing? None, I bet. And when I'm taking a cigarette break alone, you can bet that I'm getting my think on. The same when I go grab coffee alone, stand in line alone, pay the $3.50 alone, walk to the library alone, study alone, walk home alone, and sleep alone.
Don't get me wrong, thinking isn't the only thing a loner can do all day. Besides thinking, you can do many other things alone, such as read, sing, and walk around naked in your room.
And these are things you can only do effectively by yourself. You don't want anybody to disturb you when you are reading "How to Build a Pipebomb in 10 Easy Steps" or you might miss a step and that would not be good. You can't really rock out to "Fuck the World" by Marilyn Manson if people are watching you scream on the top of your lungs while making obscene gestures with your groin to the beat. Unh unh unh! FUCK THE WORLD! Yeah. And tell me how you can properly hang out naked in your room if someone is trying to converse with you. You can't talk, read People's magazine, masturbate, and weep at the same time. Geez.
Not only can you read, sing, and hang out alone, you can also drink alone. Many people think it's sad and pathetic to drink alone, but I don't think so. I mean, I drink alone, and I'm not sad and pathetic, right? No shame in getting really fucked up on Johnny Walker and talking to yourself about your own pain and sorrow because who understands you better than yourself? No one. You are bound to give yourself the best advice and company. And you know that you will always be listening. You would never nod and smile and glance at your watch and say you have to go because you have more important things to do. You can't leave yourself. Trust me, I tried it once and it doesn't work.
So you see, all the good things in life can only be done alone. This is why I choose to be a loner. When people ask me why I'm such a loser and I don't have any friends, I just say that I choose to be this way. I feel that I'm a messiah of sorts*. This is the enlightened life that many have yet to discover.
Of course, I try telling this to other people, you know, to spread the word. Like the homeless guy I met on Telegraph this afternoon. After I was done talking he said, "Look up the word rationalization in the dictionary, kid." Wow, what a nut. Here I was talking about the right way to live life and he's telling me to study vocabulary words. These people on Telegraph are just crazy. There's never any use trying to talk sense into them.
