I can't get no...
Yeah.

I've been trying to put words to the malaise that seems to have overtaken my life. It's not that I'm not happy, or I'm severely lacking in anything (except maybe motivation).

It's just... I can't get no satisfaction.

How can I be unsatisfied and not unhappy? I don't know. I think it's because there's lots of funny stuff out there, and funny stuff makes me laugh, which usually makes me happy - but then I find myself wishing that I, myself, could be that funny, and I get miserable again.

There's no one thing I can point to and say, "If this gets resolved, I will be satisfied." No. It's a whole lot of things, taken in aggregate.

Well, I have a vacation coming up in mid-September. Maybe then I can get my head on straight.

Meanwhile, I'll continue to crank out the snark and the self-pity.
