Ive been feeling uncommonly left alone these days. Sure, the summer is over, people go back to work and the kids are all back in school. However, when you work long hours at night, and dont have kids, you feel almost as if youve been abandoned. I chose this path, this schedule, for the greater good of helping myself and the person Im closest to. However, that just doesnt get you over the feeling that youre by yourself in the dark as others sleep and dream and prepare for the bright day, and all it has to offer, on the way to that next vacation or gathering of friends and family. At night, in the dark, you cling to anything, however bizarre, to become your partner in times of loneliness. Books help, but they are inanimate objects that only come to life in our own minds and in our own voices. Films, movies and TV shows seem, to me, the way to bring life into my loneliness. I have made some interesting friends in that darkened office over the past 4 years. They include a forensic psychiatrist with a taste for human flesh (HANNIBAL), four raving lunatics that think the bad things they do will always go unpunished (SEINFELD), a band of people searching for a safe home in the middle of total devastation (THE WALKING DEAD) and a desperate high school chemistry teacher looking for a way to keep his family safe and sound (BREAKING BAD)... The last one to go on hiatus till next season really hurt, and I miss the world that it takes me to. Its a wondrous place that can only exist in the mind, in fantasy, and it spirits me away from the loneliness that dusk brings... I miss Westeros and all the wonderfully wicked people and the heroes that populate it... Lets revisit one of this series finest moments: https://youtube/watch?v=PxlIraEV8n4
