I confess I am sitting at my computer programming for nearly 12 hours because I am totally bored of everything else.

I confess that if I had easy access to it and could get away with it I'd probably have a nasty Vicodin or other opiate type pill problem, cause after a bunch of surgeries (some of which they gave me freakin ibuprofin for the painkiller, ... jerks) I've found that that stuff is goooood

I think I've confessed this before, but opiate painkillers are a wonderful thing; I've never found a better anti-depressant. I confess I find no guilt in wanting to dull the very real pain of my life. I confess that as I just typed that I felt guilty and weak for wanting to escape the pain. I confess that sometimes I actually argue with myself.

I confess there have been a few times when I've actually considered moving somewhere close to the Mexican boarder so I could have easy access to some Mexican doctor who would write me a prescription for anything I want. How crazy is that?

Good fortune,

- Icarus

I confess that "I" wish to kill someone. There's guilt here because my "good" side completely agrees with the "bad" side (my "good" side has never thought of murder before).

Good? Bad? Kill? Murder? I confess that I find the distinctions interesting.

Guilt? Never? I confess that guilt is a thing I often turn to rage, and never is a thing I can not quite remember.

Sometimes killing someone can be an act of mercy; sometimes someone deserves to be killed.
Sometimes the mercy would be for the one killed; sometimes the mercy would be for everyone else.

If your good side is considering this, by definition must there not be some good reason for it? I am certainly not trying to encourage you to kill anyone (no, no, a chaos avatar would never do that); rather, I confess that I find the paradox of "good" wishing to "murder" rather intriguing. I confess that I often wonder if free will is to fate as good is to evil, that they are the very same thing merely observed from different precepts.

I confess that one of my favorite movie quotes is this philosophical escher from South Park BLaU:

"Without evil there can be no good, so it must be good to be evil sometimes..." - Satan

Good fortune,

- Icarus

Just to play Shoulder devil here, I'm gonna point something out.

There have been many many cultures that have been drug fueled in some regard, usually primitive but as often not. Even when a culture is not fueled by drugs in its daily activities or if the drug activities aren't celebrated there have been times when it wasn't exactly demonized either.
Remember in the book the count of monte cristo how he had the hollowed out emerald made into a box where he kept opium tablets in?
Even in western culture you used to be able to order morphine syringes and morphine in the mail and it wasn't illegal! In fact it wasn't even looked down on, alot of people did it.
Drinking is still a celebrated pastime in some regard and even when not only the most extreme would deny you a cocktail or two after a hard day to relax at home.
In Turkey and some areas of the middle east familys sit around the dinner table and smoke tobaco mixed with dried fruits and vegetables out of a waterpipe called a hookah. Its quite relaxing and there children as young as 8 partake of this pastime in some places. its part of dinner in a way.

What I'm saying is, would it be soo strange to believe that intake of mind altering chemicals of varrying sorts is in fact a natural part of humanity?
Could it be built into our evolutionary structure that we have these things we take that help us cope with things at times?

Anywho I confess that I have been not leaving the house the last few days.

I confess that I believe there is a difference between good and evil; while they go with each other, they are not the same. I confess that while I believe it's possible to manipulate the view of each of these concepts, the intent behind it - that is, the desire to do right or wrong - makes a great deal of difference.

I confess that I think (know) that he's a good person.

I confess that I'm sitting on the bed right now, because the desk's shelves are too low for the laptop to be open, plus the chair looks older than most life, and I don't really want to risk breaking it.

I confess that the curtains above the bed are steadily slipping downwards, and I'm quite sure that they'll hit me at some point in the night.

I confess that the mirror on the wall is crooked and too low for me.

I confess that I'm not in my house, but rather a rented beach house. I confess that I like looking around the room, just for the change of scenary. (I confess that I so can't spell today.) I confess there is no 'net access in this house, but I'm allowed to use my father's computer from 8PM on.

I confess that I feel quite sick, and as this is vacation, I view this as totally uncool.

Murder equates to the unprovoked taking of life; even if their actions of the past make them "deserving" of punishment (I find "deserving" to be an interesting axiom; who and what is the judge of that? They say it's the reasonable majority -- I'm sure you can find arguments against "reasonable" and the "majority").

If there's no threat to life (the physical being), there's no justification for wanting to take life.

Good and bad are clearly distinct when one is of this frame of mind and morality.

Hence, I feel guilt within my "good" mind.

Modern medicine is pretty good (not that this will alleviate your worry).

I confess that there's much within my mind that's truly...sick. I put it to words and I..., I cannot adequately describe the amount of disgust it induced within me as human language is too basic for this level of revulsion (one must feel it).

I confess I want to see Wal-Mart and the crappy management flushed down a giant toilet, and then pour titanic quantities of drain cleaner down the toilet.

Life is a fight, you gotta keep going! Give um the old 1-2 and don't relent or they'll just take advantage of you.

I confess that I will be on here more frequently, and that I want EVERYONE who is feeling depressed or homicidal to PM me right now. You are not alone in that.

I confess I feel real guilty, because my daughter just had eye surgery today, which went well, and I am stressing and obsessing over my work situation instead. I will likely sabotage what's left of my career, just because I'd rather be in control of the situation than allow some bastard to spread lies that end up being my demise.
