I appreciate you coming here, I really do, but you’ve got to stop looking at me like that. You remind me of my shrink. She kept staring at me in such a way, as if I were going to strangle myself with my necktie. Have you ever heard of Sisyphus? No, it’s not a venereal […]
Octavio Paz once said that solitude is the profoundest fact of the human condition. Sometimes I think this is how Hell is supposed to be. A dark, empty room. Or a huge city with no one but yourself for company. I know that you’re here just because you want to find out what really happened […]
The only thing that is worth remembering, and worth remembering over and over again, is that in this world, under all and any circumstance, nothing ever happens. My name is Jonathan Fisher and I can stare at the sun longer than anyone else on this planet. Longer than you. And I am afraid you are […]
Just a friendly reminder.
“And, yes, what doesn’t kill you makes you wish it did, but then it makes you stronger.”

For some reason ever since I learned about rickets in elementary school every time I hear “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” I think about rickets…isn’t it crazy what sticks in our developing minds?

I know that I am only on a waypoint of a journey and I know what the end is; I do not know and when it comes, it will come. The past is only regrets about roads not taken and embarrassments about those taken. The future is not yet written. Live in the present and pursue what you want knowing you may not finish. You do not have time to worry about loss.
