Well, it appears that I&#8217;m slowly going insane as I descend through the first of Dante&#8217;s Circles of Hell&#8230; Limbo.

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I’ve never been the best at interpersonal relationships. Be they friendships, family or the more emotional ‘significant other’ kind. It seems like I’m forever walking the fine line of saying one wrong thing, placing a foot wrong, and alienating myself from people. And this week has seen me hit [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chaosmerchant.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1440178&amp;post=315&amp;subd=chaosmerchant&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the early 1990’s a film was released to eventually gain a cult following, especially amongst detached, disaffected teenagers of the time. That movie was ‘Pump Up The Volume’, the story of a teenager trapped in the banality, mediocrity and monotony of life in suburban USA, rebelling against his parents, school and ‘the system’ .

In my more cynical moments, part of me wonders if men and women are really meant to last in any meaningful relationship.
