296 Rushton Park

I decided to drive over to Rushton Park this afternoon. Scott noticed me out and pulled in and walked over to my car. We walked over to one of the benches along the park and talked. This was our uncensored conversation. I was being bitchy. I think Scott mentioned my “MP3 player” as often as Sarah Palin mentioned (in the VP debate) she and John McCain are “mavericks”. Ha ha!

Ignored

October has arrived and I’ve absolutely no downloads of my latest podcast! Don’t you guys like me anymore? Fuck it . . . I’ll keep doing this even if nobody is listening. So just answer me this one question please.

Do any of you actually subscribe to my podcast or do you just download my podcasts manually? I’d like to know.

Maybe the rapture has occurred and I’ve been . . . left behind! Or maybe everyone is just tired of listening to Nick Thomas. I’d stop doing this if I could think of something constructive to do with my time. But I like talking even if I’m not as popular as John Ong or Archer. Since I’ve never been popular (in all of my life) I should be used to it or you’d think so. But it does bother me a bit and contributes to my lack of self-worth and confidence. I guess everything I say here is really meaningless. No wonder I feel alone in this world. Steve is gone. Jeremy is gone. Nothing ever works out. A person could get a complex or something if he worried about it to much. Ha ha. I think I now know why so many turn to drugs and alcohol. But I can’t do that. I’d rather just die altogether than become a pathetic loser. Thom talks about calling 911 if your feeling suicidal. I’d like to know who to call if you’d just like to be listened to? And if they’d actually hear what your saying. When Steve and I used to talk on the phone I just felt like a big ear. He’d do all the talking and by the time he’d finish I’d be so drained I’d just want to get off the phone. And if I did have anything to say I’d never get any meaningful feedback. So how did I become such a reject? I’ve always thought there must be some meaning to everyone’s life. I’m beginning to wonder if my mom made a mistake by not aborting me. So for any of you who might enjoy the pain and suffering of others I ask you not make some sly comment about how I’m feeling sorry for myself again. I already know that. Tell me something I don’t know. I am holding on by a thread. I wear my feelings on my shoulders and that is just the way it is. There is no Jesus to rescue me from all the hell I go through living on this earth. It does no good to take a sabbatical. The day I return is the day I once again enter hell. No one covers for me at work so there is no point in taking even a short vacation. Money isn’t everything. I’d give it up for a restful mind. And to know someone out there cares about me. I really do feel sometimes like someone out there is testing me. They want to see how much I can take. It’s difficult, but I somehow hold on. Why? Because its hard to give up life. No matter how difficult things become you keep going, hoping one day things will get better. But you wonder if hope is just a cruel hoax to keep you suffering. A promise that can never be kept. Hope. Hopelessness.
