I sometimes wish I didn't have family for the sole reason that I could pick up and go and not feel remorse. For some reason I feel the need to have you know this is shitty. They call me a sociopath; I am the one made from what is two. <br /><br />Hell is blindness and deafness visited upon the anguished heart and mind. To look and see right through, to listen and hear only white noise. To be entombed in the mind with one's thoughts. To reside only with the skeletons from the closet. To live with only the things I've done.<br /><br />"If you knew that you would die today, if you saw the face of God and love, would you change?" urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:62827 2009-11-17T03:21:42Z 2009-11-17T03:21:42Z Anything that can be imagined technically exists, because thought exists.<br />Anything that can be imagined has a certain probability of occuring/existing<br />Probability can never = 0<br /><br />Therefore if I imagine a god, then that god has a probability of existing greater than 0.<br />This means that its then impossible that this god does NOT exist, however it does not state that this god is required or certain to exist, just that it has a degree of probability.<br /><br />so:<br />god = exists.<br /><br />but<br />god must = all knowing to be qualified as a god, otherwise god = same as man<br /><br />so now:<br /><br />god = exists<br />god = all knowing<br /><br />If any sentient being is either A) alive or B) dead, and there is no third option then for a god who cannot grow, consume, produce, or respond to any stimuli (as we all know our gods and goddesses do not respond) then the status "living" cannot be granted<br /><br />Therefore using the postulate "If not A then B"<br /><br />god = all knowing<br />god does not = alive, so god = dead<br /><br />A god who is all knowing must have every thought, every being, every movement of nature inside themself and so<br /><br />god must = everything<br /><br />Now the real math<br /><br />god = exists<br />god = all knowing<br />god does not = alive, so god = dead<br />god = everything<br /><br />substituion now<br /><br />god = dead<br />god = everything<br /><br />therefore everything = dead<br /><br />"love" is part of everything so more subsitution<br /><br />god = dead<br />god = everything<br /><br />therefore everything = dead<br /><br />love replaces everything and....<br /><br /><br />Love = Dead<br /><br />And thats why life fucking sucks.

I didn't know what was wrong. It was a cross between a feeling of dread and a constant feeling of something approaching, something looming on the horizon.<br /><br />A few days ago, I was driving in traffic...and my brakes went out. My car stopped just in time, and the brakes do stop it still...but that was when I knew.<br /><br />I am going to die soon, my time is concluding. I am not afraid, and I am not sad. I just want someone, anyone at all to know that I knew. I have not told my family, nor anyone else really. Who would believe me? <br /><br />Who knows, maybe its just a crazy feeling and it won't amount to anything, but for now I travel always in the shadow of death.<br /><br />Maybe I will see you again in this world. Maybe I will wait until the next. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:61955 2009-07-02T01:13:23Z 2009-07-02T01:13:23Z Soon I will be gone....<br /><br /><br />I have graven it within the hills, and my vengence upon the dust within the rock. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:61922 2008-09-27T06:01:41Z 2008-09-27T06:01:41Z i dont know if you ever read this, or if you ever will again, but i hope you do<br /><br />this will probably be the last time i ever write in this journal. today has felt like a dream all day, and i cant understand it. nothing has made sense since i woke up this morning. i dont know if ill sleep tonight, but if i get to, i feel like i should wake up to find out its still friday, and youre still mine. i almost typed "and im still yours" but that actually hasnt changed. that will never change. just like i told you, if i have to wait the rest of my fucking life away until im old and grey and no good to anyone and lying on my death bed, i will do it. in that moment, far from now, i will smile again, if i never smile in the time in between. i will smile because if i have been a decent person between now and then, maybe ill go to heaven and see you there. because right now im terrified i will never see you again while im alive. <br /><br />i have given myself until sunday, just over 36 hours, and if you havent called me, and i still feel like this, im leaving. im going to go west, over the mountains and away from here. i cant live in this place with you ten minutes away and lightyears apart from me and not go insane. i cant go on without you, not here, maybe not anywhere. <br /><br />you were the only thing that made me feel like i was a decent person, like i was worth anything at all, and i cant believe ive squandered that on such meaningless bullshit. oh my god my hand smells like your hair and its killing me. i almost wrecked on the way home tonight because i couldnt even see to drive. i still couldnt tell you which path i took home. <br /><br />if everything weve been through and everything weve shared means nothing to you now, then i am sorry for having wasted your time. i really think thats all i am sometimes. i shouldve gotten that tattooed on me instead. for the record, i want that on my gravestone "waste of time"<br /><br />i cant even begin to describe what this feels like, the knowledge that i may have actually lost you this time, after fighting so incredibly hard for so long to keep you close to me. after clawing and biting and snarling against time apart and distance and italy and my own hangups and all kinds of transgressors, how can the battle really be over? how can this be it?<br />the answer is simple: im not worth it<br /><br />i realize that now<br /><br />i know i said this earlier, but if i end up a thousand miles from you, i will still look down at the ring on my left hand and cry myself to sleep in mourning of the life i lost, the love i threw away, the pieces of me that will always remain yours. there has never been a person like you in my life, and i would be foolish to think there ever will be again. nobody gets that lucky, im still amazed i was lucky enough to ever have you at all. <br /><br />if you can ever find it in your heart to forgive me my sins, i am yours without a moment of hesitation. if that is impossible, i understand. if that is impossible, im sorry, but i have to leave this place, this place where i fell in love with you and where i asked you to marry me and where i celebrated the first valentines day thats ever mattered to me and where i thought i had met my wife. <br /><br />i feel dead inside, like im just waiting for my body to catch up. <br /><br />i love you, i love you, i love you, i love you. i have loved you for longer than you know, and i will love you until there is no longer enough breath in my lungs to form the words. i still believe i was made for you, as fucked up and flawed as i am. maybe someone else was made for you too, and i hope to god they can make you happier than i have. <br /><br />im so sorry, my queen, i love you urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:61661 2008-08-08T04:16:18Z 2008-08-08T04:16:18Z I know I've said this before, but this is goodbye Pittsboro (again, yeah, shutup) I haven't written in this thing in quite a while, but now, I say goodbye once more to this infernal town. No more video hole, no more snack stop, no more food lion, no more fucking ptown at all. It feels good to get out, I hope I don't ever have to move back this time.<br /><br />Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth. Then took the other, as just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim because it was grassy and wanted wear, though as for that, the passing there had worn them really about the same. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:61408 2008-07-18T02:29:21Z 2008-07-18T02:29:21Z sorry is the word of the year on sesame street. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:60471 2007-09-23T04:21:48Z 2007-09-23T04:29:23Z I finally understand what complete devotion is. I have spent every waking moment for over four months in a row working, worrying, planning, saving, stressing, and thinking about nothing in the world besides getting back to you. Nothing has ever been worth that much to me. Nobody has ever been to me what you are, sweetheart. <br /><br />If you were ever skeptical, believe now, for i have lived weeks and months on end for you. Years of the same are planned :-D<br /><br />I love you<br /><br />Oh yeah---<br /><br />Goodbye Pittsboro, this is the last night I will ever spend in your doldrumic grasp. I am leaving tomorrow, at my earliest possible convenience, and I am never returning. To those I leave behind, thank you for making my time here a little more bearable. Get yourselves out as soon as possible. I would say that we will meet again, but I honestly never plan on it. So this is my last goodbye to all of you. Have good lives, be happy, find love, enjoy the future, and if chance ever crosses our paths someday, I hope I will find that you are hailing from a much better place. Happy trails. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:60337 2007-09-17T20:15:04Z 2007-09-17T20:15:04Z <b>This is it.</b> The last few hours. Goodbye fucking pittsboro.

All those weeks of working every single day, all those nights spent wishing i was with you again. All those times I just wanted to be able to look into your eyes again.

I don't know how I would smile in your absence. I rarely do. Or rather, it's rare that I smile on the inside as well as the outside when you're not around, baby. It's rare that I really feel anything but like the word alone when you're not here. <br /><br /><b>The leaf floating on the ocean.</b> <br /><br />I have learned the meaning of the phrase "missing you to death" this summer. <br /><br />Have I told you I love you today? urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:58647 2007-08-06T04:42:21Z 2007-08-06T04:42:21Z Damn, these nights without you kill baby...I hate that i <i>have</i> to miss spending my nights curled up with you, nobody else around...so easy to forget there's anything else but the four walls around us and the two people within :) <br /><br />If there's ever been anything in my life worth working for, its gotta be to get back to that place again. <br /><br /><b>I'm coming back to you baby :)</b><br /><br />And to be perfectly honest, I don't plan on going anywhere for quite a spell <br /><br />"Others have tried, but i just can't deny, for me you are the one" urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:58391 2007-08-01T06:17:14Z 2007-08-01T06:17:57Z we can make it through anything :) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:58367 2007-07-13T17:46:04Z 2007-07-13T17:53:26Z Wake or sleep, I feel the same<br />Dreaming all the time<br />Picturing the coming day<br />When you could be all mine<br /><br /><b>For if I ever walked away</b><br />You know it'd be a lie<br />If I said it was untrue<br /><b>Each step did make me cry</b><br /><br /> And if there's ever doubt in you<br /> About the way I feel<br /> My heart's reply is <b>I love you<br /> And babe I always will</b><br /><br />Please believe that this will pass<br />And leave us in its wake<br />With an overflowing hourglass<br />And endless love to make<br /><br />So take me, <b>all I am<br />I give it all to you<br />In hopes that you will walk with me<br />All my days, us two</b><br /><br /> And If there's ever sad in you<br /> I'll wipe away your tears<br /> And tell your shining, endless eyes<br /> <b>I'll love you all my years</b><br /><br /><br />Happy birthday, sweetheart. You have no idea how much I love you :) You don't yet know this journal exists, but that's ok, I'll probably tell you when I'm done. And I'll get to tell you in person tomorrow! I'll tell you that you are by far the most wonderful surprise life has ever given me. I'll tell you how, the first time I saw you, I couldn't stop thinking about you. The first time we hung out, I couldn't stop smiling afterwards. The first time we kissed, I was <b>never happy without you</b> around again. The first time I told you I love you, I lied. I should have said <b>I've loved you</b>. Would've been far more accurate. The truth is I couldn't say exactly when I fell for you, but it was long long before I finally worked up the nerve to tell you baby. And the truth is that <b>I will always love you.</b> <br /><br />The song above is called "Corazon" and it's the first one I wrote about you. I was sitting up late by myself one night, just kinda thinking about things. Of course, I started thinking about you, and the music just sort of waltzed its way out of my head. So I started writing and I can honestly say that its never been that easy to write lyrics before. In fact, I never even wrote it down, I just imagined you were in front of me and I was just speaking it to you, and by the time I had finished not only did I miss you terribly, but I had committed it to memory. That's exactly how things have been with you. No matter what has happened between us in the past, and even after we didn't see eachother for the first weeks of summer, we always just fall right back in place where we were before :) <br /><br />I cannot imagine being happy without you, babe. The times in my life I look forward to the most are the times where I'm with you, now. So happy birthday, baby, and I love you with all my heart.<br /><br />Oh yeah, and I'll see you tomorrow morning, love :-D urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:benlovesyou:57886 2007-07-11T05:23:48Z 2007-07-11T05:23:48Z So <b>this</b> is what happy feels like. <br /><br />So <b>this</b> is what perfect feels like.<br /><br />I still don't understand why I deserve you, and I've come to terms with the fact that I never will.

All I can understand is that I'm more in love with you than I really ever thought I could be with any thing, person, place...any nouns basically.
