I have acquaintances - not friends, my friends are too astute/less shallow or would know better - most of them, but I know people who flit from one relationship to the next, the perception amongst our smarter selves that they are afraid of being alone.
I've been divorced for nearing on four years, the inbetween downtime spent being a resolute, fuck relationships zealot except for this one girl who caught me completely unawares and as I was trying to reckon with the emotion and holy fuck wow, dashed my guts out against the rocky outcrop of flickering chance that I mistook as choice. the hardest lesson.
I drove home the other day after a very confrontational meeting that left my employment status up in the ender's game you might still be employed but maybe aren't it could be pretend in a the sims kind of way.
The Killers 'Human' was playing on the radio and instead of worrying about my future my thoughts drifted to opening my front door to an empty space, then to her - all dominoesque. I muscled up and tried to imagine real stuff, the job prospect came back and so did she, they melded together and I sucked it all up in a big breath of uncertainty kickarse, which backfired and kicked my arse.
On tv people were burning to death down south or were at the very least displaced, and another guy had had his hand bitten off by a shark right after the last guy who'd had his hand bitten off the day before. Was I just like those people I know that I don't count as friends was I that shallow?
I drank more beer, worried some more, tried to put a second coffee filter into the filter I'd just placed into my drip-o-lator, frowned at the beer I'd placed on the counter, took the second coffee filter out of the first and poured the rest of my beer down the sink.
I guess we're human, not so much dancers. and it's the saddest indictment ever, if it's true it's the saddest thing ever.

The Killers 'Human'
==========================
I hate that song with a passion. Unfortunately it's also been stuck in my head for almost 24 hours now.

i must admit i was half-hoping the insane hot temperatures and the fires would continue day after day getting more horrific each day.
there was too much footage of crying people and not enough footage of giant walls of flame flying around at 100kph etc

If you were here, I'd take you bowling. We'd get really drunk and make fun of people, especially Mormon people, who tend to be really pasty this time of year. It would be grand.

I have no idea what you're rambling about, but it made me sad.
