Wilson

With Cast Away showing on the TV in the periphery, Tom Hanks just went nuts because he lost Wilson to the ocean. Most of y'all probably never think about how real that can be, but yes, you can do similarly crazy shit when you find yourself in an unusually lonely position like that. And you don't have to be all alone to be that lonely.

On the road I found myself incredibly lonely. With each passing second, the loneliness grew, constantly pushing me deeper into an alternate reality that no one else can really understand because no one else has ever been to this place. In time it even caused me to say and do a lot of things I never would have said or done before.

While I did meet people almost constantly, that didn't ease the loneliness because these people were all in and out of my life in an instant, creating an even more lonely experience than when I was all alone. With all these people coming in and out of your life, it's like you're no one to everyone. Conversely, you're also someone really special and unique to most of them because you're doing something they all wish they could do. But then, just as quickly as they showed up, they're gone forever. And then the next one is gone, and the next one after that is gone, and it never ends. When you're stuck in that kind of environment for long enough, it can really fuck with your head.

However, when you get back to the sane world where you know people and have a couch to relax on, you eventually become something resembling sane once again, just like Tom Hanks's character did. Not completely who you once were, but close.

Aimless on Facebook

Become a fan of Aimless on Facebook. That way, your friends will see that you are a fan, which will make them check out the Aimless page. Then if they become fans, their other friends might also become fans...

Do you get it? Yeah, it's a snowball effect. And it doesn't require you to do any work.

If you would someday like to see what this was all about, even if you think I'm a total dick, then become a fan of Aimless on Facebook. Do it as a small thank-you for the hard work and suffering that went into making the videos I have been able to show you. Do it because, like you, other people want Aimless; they just don't know about it yet.

Oh yeah... And if you have the Documentary Channel, keep an eye out for Pizza! The Movie. They've been showing it a lot lately. I'm in it (about 32 minutes in).
