Self-help isn't all that, um, helpful, is it?

Christina Hendricks in then out of a form fitting dress. That's something I want.

Sipping from the Stanley Cup. That's something I want.

I want to create something meaningful. That's something I want.

I want someone to share a life with.

I want peace. I want serenity. I want to hold off death for a little while longer.

I want to be. I want to become, to evolve. I want to stay. I want to transcend here and now.

I want the girl behind the circulation desk.

So, how would you accomplish that?

I would ask her for a name.

What's in a name?

I can stop calling her, hey...you, or refer to her as "girl behind circulation desk"
and call her Danielle. She looks like a Danielle.

Then what?

I would ask her to coffee or lunch or maybe to just hang out.

Good. Good. And then? What are your intentions precisely?

I don't know, not quite yet. She's lovely. She enchants me. She's a mystery begging me to explore.

Okay. But what do you want?

I want her. I mean I want to know her. I want to see more of her, to reveal something more than a periodic giggle, a smile, a beaming lovely pair of eyes, and just a kind voice.

Where do you see yourself in ten years?

I can't see tomorrow, much less a decade. Whatever comes to pass, I'll find a way to deal. Life is this endurance, survivial, and persistence.

Relax, in my mind, you are not the most screwed up person I know.

Thanks, I needed that.
