&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://x98.xanga.com/bcff462675333256975181/b204456305.jpg"&gt;&lt;img title="untitled" style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px;" src="http://x98.xanga.com/bcff462675333256975181/z204456305.jpg" width="400"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;but perhaps i don't need to see anything in people worth liking,&lt;br&gt;perhaps all there is to it,&lt;br&gt;is loving people for the mere fact that&lt;br&gt;they are people&lt;br&gt;and they are looking for something not so different from what i seek.&lt;br&gt;and they are ugly,&lt;br&gt;and they are selfish,&lt;br&gt;and they are pitiful.&lt;br&gt;but i am ugly&lt;br&gt;selfish&lt;br&gt;pitiful.&lt;br&gt;and sometimes i look at myself and i see nothing worth loving.&lt;br&gt;and i'm just sitting here, covered in my own shit,&lt;br&gt;and filled with malice toward my fellow man...&lt;br&gt;but there are still those who embrace me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i don't know.&amp;nbsp; i'll never know.&amp;nbsp; i'll just go to sleep and forget about all of this in the morning.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/714783687/a-sad-display-as-the-machine-disassembles-itself/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>loneliness is the root of all evil pt.

The setting is the same, but so much has changed since that night when, awkwardly walking her to the door, she leaned in and kissed me; she caught me by surprise.&amp;nbsp; I don't really talk to her anymore.&amp;nbsp; I don't appreciate the person she has become; even more so, I don't appreciate the person I have become.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps the two are connected.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Perhaps everything I've come to dislike about her is what I dislike in me.&amp;nbsp; It makes enough sense; every time I complain of her overbearing personality, her attempts to appear intellectual for the sake of vanity, her facade of forgiveness while she actually bites her tongue, ignoring the problems until there is blood in her mouth...all of these flaws, I see in myself.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Everything I hate about anyone, I see in myself.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Goddammit, what have I become?&amp;nbsp; Or perhaps I have always been...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It doesn't matter.&amp;nbsp; Enough of this bullshit; it doesn't matter why I am this way, how long I have been this way, whether I was once a good person and something went awry with the wiring inside my head, or perhaps I've just always been the same selfish fucker I know today.&amp;nbsp; I am tired of being disgusted with the actions of others, only to find them in myself.&amp;nbsp; I am tired of proclaiming humanity as inherently selfish and evil, only to find myself fulfilling my proclamation.&amp;nbsp; I am tired of these crutches of self-loathing.&amp;nbsp; I have been stumbling along with them for so long and yet I am still not ready to stand on my own.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fuck these goddamn excuses.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Everything I hate about anyone, I see in myself.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps, then...once I forgive myself for these faults, these things that remind me how fucking human I am, and do my best to allow God (whoever he is) to eradicate them, perhaps I will find peace.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps I will no longer hate my brothers.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps I will be free.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Or perhaps this is all hopeful rhetoric and I'll die the same selfish son-of-a-bitch I always was.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It won't hurt to try, though.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/712976287/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Monday, April 21, 2008</title><link>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/653333984/item/</link><guid>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/653333984/item/</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Apr 2008 17:49:23 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;goodbye.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/653333984/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Thursday, April 03, 2008</title><link>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/650390742/item/</link><guid>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/650390742/item/</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Apr 2008 18:16:54 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;i feel like my friends are becoming much fewer in number.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/650390742/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Sunday, February 10, 2008</title><link>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/641631593/item/</link><guid>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/641631593/item/</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 Feb 2008 02:27:11 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;life is so bland and tasteless right now, like water, only less refreshing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><comments>http://toothandnail04.xanga.com/641631593/item/#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
