A Solitary Get-Away

This is my third post for the day. I have done this before but all the posts were pre-thought out and I just wanted to post it before I forgot. Today, however, I'm posting out of shear boredom. All I know have gone away to their respective colleges and I am stuck at home. I finished watching Firefly and Serenity and I'm lining up Chuck. As much as I would love to sit down and watch another 15 hours of television shows, I just had to do something else. In my time of solitude, I've stressed out about my music video, wrote a list of things I don't want to do but must, thought about getting a girlfriend, and saddest of all, I wrote my third unpremeditated post on my blog.

I am struggling with the second half of break.

However, I found a solution. I'm going to go out. On a solitary get-away. I'm going to get away from myself. But I'm not going to anybody either. I'm going to go and pay a painful 10 dollars to watch a movie at the Long Beach Town Center (hopefully, it'll be matinée and a bit cheaper).

Right now, I'm in the process of choosing the movie and I hope I choose well. These long hours of solitude taught me a valuable lesson. I will bold it for emphasis.

"One cannot live alone for too long. Everybody hates themselves too much to do so."

I know. Philosophical. I'm going to make this movie viewing as religious and spiritual as possible. I'm going to pray before I go, pray at the theatre, and pray right after I wake up.

Wish me luck friends.
