The Egoist In Me

I'm 43, married, childfree, and I live in Southern California. When I am not boring you all with my re-blogs, prose and prosedy, you will find me to be a very sarcastic, cynical, and optimistic person. I work, I go to school, I play computer games, I read, I listen to music. That's my life in a nutshell. Everything else is just decoration.

-We are made of stars. I love the cosmos, therefore I love me.

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?

Ernest Hemingway (via stxxz)

Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.

The Real Abandoned Overlook Hotel

Unlike the fictional Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, this hotel is really named the Overlook. The abandoned hotel is located in the small, wine growing town of Bernkastel-Kues in Germany. Other than it has been unoccupied for about 13 years, there is no information as to why the hotel was closed. All of the furniture remains and it looks as if everyone there simply left. There are rumors that the hotel is haunted. According to urban explorers who frequent the spooky site, cameras malfunction, sounds can be heard throughout the premises and items seem to move around the hotel by themselves.
