Wise Words

I have this friend named Jacob. The last few days weve been hanging out riding bikes and stuff and I've just recently realized how geniousss he is. I was looking at his myspace and im totally stealing his blog. But after reading it.. theres no way I could say it anyyy better than he did:


addiction
Current mood: melancholy

fuck. that should be all. it is not.

isnt it funny how these little constants in our life are all that keep us going. these little seemingly nonexistant dependencies that rule each and every point of our perseity. however tragic it may be, we need each and every one of these normalties. and however tragic this may be, the removal of even one, or a fraction of one, begins a downward spiral sucking countless others into its devistating nature.

whether or not this innate desire for normalty, for comfort, is an addiction is debatable. i, however, feel that it is. i think that each of us depends solely on what we are used to and what we expect to happen. despite a change in lifestyle, location, the company you keep, or any other changes, there are still always these constants which come with us; the evolution of said constants is necesary and natural, but does not discount the fact that the constants are within. we bring them with us, it is inevitable, one cannot escape oneself.

addiction traditionally is viewed as a problem, as a disease. the word is also more frequently used to describe a dependance on some dangerous substance or habit. whether your addiction be drugs, alcohol, nicotine, sex, love, chocolate, plastic dashboard jesi (plural of jesus?), a favorite pillow, diet coke, chachkas, the presence of a certain person, whatever the fuck you need, the removal of it throws your entire world off of its axis.

it is when one realizes that these things are what make them who they are that they truly become complete. for any one person to say that there is not one thing in this world that they dont know what they would do without, is simply a lie.

im not really sure where im going with this but i am sure that i have done some serious thinking today and i have figured out that though so many of my "addictions" have evolved, so so many of them have also been lost over the past few years. and due to the loss of these dependencies ive realized that i may never be complete, which makes me question my own theory of completeity (made up word). in effect, the new revised verson of jacob's theory or completeity is that when one realizes these necessities and realizes that they still possess each, or have come to terms with the loss of one and no longer desires it, then and only then is that person complete.
