Solitary Confinement

So I got a little bit of time to think today which was really good. I should have actually been writing a paper, but i was very exhausted by this week, so I think I just needed some time for myself.

I was thinking while I was watching this prison show today. I think that I would like certain aspects of jail. I realize that sounds a little strange so let me explain. There was this guy who was being interviewed who had been in solitary confinement for 10 years. He was still sane too. Normally people expect someone to go kind of crazy in solitary confinement. I personally think that sounds really nice. I think I would enjoy living in solitary confinement for a while. As long as I was permitted books, writing materials, and the occasional ability to search for new books after I have finished the ones that I was reading. I was talking to my friend about this earlier tonight and she was blown away. She couldn't understand how or why I think that would be nice, or in the least bit interesting. Maybe it is because I have so many thoughts all of the time, and never have the peace or clarity to write them all down, so they just build up until eventually a could of them explode out of my head, or I being super stressed and incoherent. I think most people have probably witnessed both occurrences if you have known me for a while. So I pose this question. Could you live in solitary confinement and be ok for a while?

In other news, I have been listening to The Prize Fighter Inferno lately. Good music project I would say. I would recommend it, but most people I know probably would not find it as interesting as I do.

  1. I think so freaking much too. A genetic thing maybe? So I will say I could use some good solitary confinement. However not ten years worth. I have often thought about going on one of those silent retreats. I still consider it. Mountains, Gods beauty, and me alone with my thoughts. Please don't go doing something that would get you solitary confinement. I would miss you.
