Just got out of bed, it was the phone ringing that forced me to it today. A call from some volunteer organization I registered to join approximately three weeks ago. To tell me they were past their capacity and couldn’t have me. Of course. They are just flooded with people just itching to work in homeless shelters or accompany the sick and dying in hospitals. Someone do something to stem the endless horde of volunteers….please.
Oh man rejected from volunteer work. I’m really too tired to get depressed about this today. Sometimes you can only revel in the absurdity of it all.
Besides what better start for a day that getting a call from a total stranger going out of her way to diss you. Priceless I tell ya.

Lol and yet you hear them ***** and moan about the starving kids in Africa…
You can’t learn to take care of people unless you can take care of yourself. The homeless people can wait, I think you should try to find help for yourself first. I mean fuck with all the shit we throw away today, the homeless are practically living better off than we are.
Sigh. Deep down I just wish I were capable of going around loving people unconditionally for a little while till the body just collapses from lack of maintenance and just fade away. Like some sort of extreme franciscan monk or something. I’m nowhere near brave enough to do this. So I just pointlessly drag the body through the days. Uselessly wishing I was a much better person, or a much worse one.
Your already a good person, you just need that spark in your life, that one person who brings you around tells you “your a good person” in that way that would even inspire a priest
Your capable of doing so much more than you think, you just need to build yourself back up. Right now, you’ve torn yourself down, which in some ways is actually healthy (not goin to go into how). Now, you need to bring yourself right back up to a better, stronger person. But some people can’t do it alone. And the homeless sure as fuck ain’t gonna help, they need to take of themselves
Absurdist for what it’s worth i think volunteering is good idea. Get you out of the house. Give you some thing to do. And keep’s you busy. Trust me if you really want to volunteer to do some thing. You will find some thing.
@ The Absudist; Hello. Haven’t been here for a couple of days, I’ve been whoring myself out to earn a living (figuratively not literally). This site is depressing…I guess a place where people who are suicidal and congregate probably would be gloomy… there’s not a lot of dancing here…..gleeful displays of joy are far and few between…. Gordon Biersch is on sale!!! Woo Hoo!!! I’m drunk & Happy! Life isn’t so bad sometimes.
How are you? You just gotta distract yourself, man. You’ll die when it’s your time, accept all the shit in between….Paris sounds better than Hell….unless they speak French in Hell (that would Suck)!!!

Hey Chariot man, how are ya? Yes this site is depressing but a weirdo like me has to get his vague and tenuous sense of conectedness and kinship where he can these days. I’m assuming your new job is a barrel of laughs then? Here’s something to help you with that

France is a pit don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
And dancing is for gay men.
@ The Absurdist: I got stuck with a French Canadian the last 2 days. Comedy. Apparently France French is ghetto and Canadian French is Aristocratic. Hahahah. It may be true because Canadian money is worth more than US dollars now.
Probably, nobody but them cares about that though.
@ The Absurdist; If you get a chance to get on with that Canadian outfit, dude, I would take it. Would you rather live in France or Canada?( Sneak across the border from Canada) It may be better than Europe….Tons of Mexicans already have from a southerly direction…..
@lucy4
Sadly can’t, getting inside Canada legally is almost as hard as getting into the US. I tried earlier this year to get a special temporary work permit visa they give French nationals and even though I had a job offer in hand from a big company with a fancy job title they refused because of an extremely minor bureaucratic crap. And I’m really not a resourceful enough man to give it a shot to go ilegally.
@ The Absurdist; I’m very sorry. Just trying to be helpful, which of course can be annoying around here. I wish you the best. Come to San Francisco, we’ll drink beer, and peer over the Golden Gate bridge, and dream of ways to kill bureaucrats. Er something. Peace out…..
Just another day in the abysm. Take it easy.
Haha. Yeah, OK.
