I'm just bad news, bad news, bad news...

I hate it when there's drama, and the drama is partially my fault. My biggest character flaw pertains to my inability to upset people or make them feel bad, especially if I am the one to blame. It makes me physically and emotionally sick until I know that the situation has been completely resolved. But, feeling hurt is an emotion that makes us human, and we all must experience it at some point in our lives. We acknowledge it, experience it, and move on. And by being the bearer of this emotion, I will eventually learn how to deal with it.

anyway,

There's another old man who lives in my apartment complex. I've never seen his face, I don't think he hardly leaves his apartment. Perhaps only to pick up his dry cleaning and buy a few groceries. His apartment is filled with books, disorderly strewn about the living room. Bookshelf upon bookshelf, lined across the perimeter of the room. He has a little desk in the living room, and upon it is a typewriter. At times, I see him hunched over the typewriter, viciously typing away. I wonder what he's typing. I also see him using a magnifying glass looking at something. I like to imagine that this old man is secretly a famous writer, who lives in an average apartment complex to disguise his true identity. Maybe he's writing the next big novel...who knows?
