And Later On That Month…

No exact date, Queen’s University, 1991.

Sometimes I feel relieved. Free here from stress. Free from the burdens of my intrinsic life [what exactly does that mean?]. Emotions really take you for a ride [um, yeah, cliche much?].

Plato hated the body for this very reason [good to know I’ve got such a solid handle on Plato, wha?]. It’s constantly betraying the soul. Laughs at our emotions because they always seem to get the best of us. They laugh, cry, scream, and hurt more than physical pain can ever imagine.
