Why are we here?
I'm sitting here at the computer at 1:45 AM while my parents are asleep, munching on pringles and discussing mostly politics with a bunch of random people on the web who include such diverse people as a commie from Utah and a Zylka.

wtf?

What the heck drives us to post here at the cost of our health (and often peace of mind )? Do we have OCD? Are we just nutters?

as for my mental health... well I do worry about that.

seriously. some people here think I'm insane. And I get worried when people think I'm crazy. I think they see something about me that I cannot see. I'd hate to be locked up in a looney bin. That would make me go insane

So I'm trying to do things in my life to keep me sane.

Being locked in a looney bin is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

After all, the monkeys can't be too happy about being jammed in a barrel.

although the free drugs is always a plus

why do people in looney bins in movies always complain about being drugged up? some people pay good money for those kinds of drugs.

we're here because we're here, random coincidences led us here.

it's like asking why do we live onh Earth? or why do we live in our time and not in the middle ages?

why are humans the only living beings in the universe?

etc etc, it's just an irrelevant questions. become a cynical nihilist and you will understand

i am here to LEARN, or least a 'semblence of it.

I get opinions and feelings from people all over the world, straight from the horses mouth, where else could I do that.

Since I have started posting here I have started to read the paper more, I have become less homophobic, more concerned about my racial prejudisms, and a better critical thinker.

I have learned a lot here, and like it here. Oh, yeah, and I have no life either.

I have this issue where I keep washing my hands over and over again, even though I'm pretty sure they're already clean.

And my dreams have become increasingly strange; but that's probably just the insomnia talking.

several successive calm nights after relaxed days make bad dreams go away

Bad Dreams come not only from stress but from diet... Try eating different stuff... I find that spicy food gives me worse dreams, as dose cheese... But, comfort foods like chicken and pot roast makes me sleep dreamlessly.
