The Reason
I think the problem is a curse, or maybe two as it were. I have been cursed with two kinds of thirst: one my mind, the other my legs.
Both take me away from where I am. The one figuratively, the other literally.
How can I get close to anyone when I’m compelled to move away?
There’s gotta be someone out there for me. I know this must be the case. But part of me wonders if...
Reacting to a book

ME: Men, sometimes, it hurts.
PFC HOLLIDAY: What hurts Sergeant?
ME: Being this fucking awesome.

II. If you are on public property, you can take pictures of private property. If a...
