Loneliness

"I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue,
I needed somebody to talk to.
So I called up the operator of time
Just to hear a voice of some kind.
"When you hear the beep
It will be three o'clock,"
She said that for over an hour
And I hung it up." -Bob Dylan, "Talkin' WWIII Blues"

I feel you Bob. Sometimes I get so lonely I look forward to getting emails at 3 am from Jackincumaton, letting me know that I can join millions of men who need to re-up their "size" just by clicking on a little blue hyperlink. But not only does it relieve my sense of loneliness, it also gives me some semblance of hope.
