No one warns you that “making it” comes at the expense of one’s personhood. That the white picket fence, while enviable, is something you’d rather rail against (or be railed against) than lean on during a back yard bbq. That stability is boring and repetitive and… not fun.

I know I’m not the only one here seeking to be titillated, to fucking feel something for once again. A shot of adrenaline… that intoxicating dance of seeing and being seen. Of discovering ourselves through the eyes of someone else.

It’s gotta be better than my current vices of Diet Coke, edibles, and self loathing.

Because the mods make me do it- I’m built like a squishy dad-man-dude-bro. Broad shoulders, gut, hairy, white, silly.

As for a potential internet friend: please want to play and explore…

Anyone else have a throbbing lobe or cortex that feels… under stimulated? It’s impossible to turn the television on or read the news or log in to social media without being bombarded by the sheer idiocy of the world right now. What’s worse, everyone seems to think that their orthodoxy is gospel… and if you somehow don’t line up and shut up, you’re the enemy.

I’m done with kowtowing to such nonsense. Life is not black and white, it’s gray. And no one knows that better than us, the denizens of the dark and seedy corners of the inter webs. We revel in nuance and can convince ourselves and others of things that we know are “wrong”.

Well I refuse, we refuse.

We refuse to allow the world to dictate who we are or what we should be, and we fucking refuse to be satisfied with the rampant mediocrity that surrounds. We are going to take. We are going to revel in our humanity and find solace in the company of an internet stranger that could become our new best friend.

About me- strong but gentle, smart but playful, sarcastic but kind.

About you- the right mix of smart and sassy. A little needy. Verbose and articulate. Interested in the gray.

Let’s tickle an amygdala or two this evening, shall we?
