unlucky thirteen

I had originally selected these tracks with a mind for doing a big writeup about what they meant to me, and why I selected them. I am so very tired. You may not agree with my perspective, but here are thirteen things which suck: Dysfunctional home life; addiction; fear of intimacy; hospitals (and war, while we're at it); poverty; loneliness; hopelessness; the opposite of hopelessness — magical thinking; moral panic; suicide; television; lying; injustice.
