Hey, did you know that 15,000 tons of trash is dumped into U.S. landfills every hour, or that American dry cleaners go through enough steel wire hangers every year to build 60,000 automobiles? You do now.

I Think I'm Turning Hikikomori

It seems that the older I get and the more I have to deal with the rest of the world, the less I want to do with it. I used to live for social situations; I played sports, went to parties, clubs, concerts and community events like it was my job. It seems, however, that over the past few months I have become more and more content to just stay at home, sitting in my room watching television or reading. At times, its almost as if I have to force myself to go hang out with even a small group of friends. Some of my friends have inquired as to if everything is okay, and I'm quite sure it is. I eat healthy, I have an excellent relationship with my girlfriend, and I honestly feel that this is one of the happiest periods of my life. The fact of the matter is that, for the most part, I simply don't like being around people very much anymore... And I'm happy with that.
