“This week is stupid. Dumb, stupid, fucked and regrettable. Fuck, we won’t remember the unkind parts. The hate and the soberness. The ink is still fresh and we’re sliding our faces across the page. We will wear the unhappiness where we can’t read it. Everyone else will see and know. But we, we will live like only smiles and spilt drinks cover us. A game won and a drink drunk. I love you all. We cannot survive like this but that’s never been the point. We had a week of it, of it all. Undefinable and indiscernible. We hate it. And it’s gone.”
A part of a story I wrote when I was 17. I’m going through all my own writings, and I think I’m going to self-publish a zine of poems, short stories and vignettes in the next few months.

Internet rescue camps in South Korea and China try to save kids addicted to the screen.
The compound — part boot camp, part rehab center — resembles programs around the world for troubled youths. Drill instructors drive young men through military-style obstacle courses, counselors lead group sessions, and there are even therapeutic workshops on pottery and drumming.
But these young people are not battling alcohol or drugs. Rather, they have severe cases of what many in this country believe is a new and potentially deadly addiction: cyberspace.
