i think i'm getting sick

i think i'm getting sick. i'm not sure what i have. at first i thought it might be online risk withdrawal but then i played last night (i'm totally back into it by the way) and it didn't make me feel any better. plus our receptionist was sick yesterday and i know for a fact that she doesn't play online risk. so i figure it's a cold. whatever. no big deal. anyway, here's a picture that i look at whenever i'm feeling blue. or sick. ok i'm going to go lay down.

bones and skin

sometimes you find something so wonderful you can't get enough of it. it changes the world around you. colors become more vivid. everyday problems don't bother you. you are thrilled to wake up in the morning because you have found this one thing. you start thinking "hey, maybe there is a god." slowly over time however, your feelings towards this thing peak. you don't get butterflies thinking about it. it no longer brings you any joy. you are left with an empty heart. the spring leaves your step. you can't get out of bed in the morning. your world becomes a dull, grey, lonely place. well, i've been playing online risk for a week straight but today i just can't get into it. i've got a cold feeling in my gut. things may never be the same.
