Google has it right. Just google “What is the loneliest number” and google’s calculator will tell you the answer is 1.
My Analysis: True
Jacks Mannequin says it: “Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?”
My Analysis: What this truly means is that you can be surrounded by people, and feel like no one knows you. You are surrounded by other human beings and while they are “in your life” physically because of their presence in the room they aren’t living with you. Therefore, you are alone. The fact of the matter is, everyone has a story, a life, and their own way. It is impossible to ever truly know everyone in the world, and so this means you are more than likely missing out on what some people might have to offer. We are lucky for the people we have in our lives, and in some instances unlucky for the people we do not have in our lives. To truly have someone, and not just to have someone to stop being alone, that is a true blessing. It is completely possible to be alone in a room that is completely full of people.

The Beatles Say it
.
“One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
Two can be as bad as one, its the loneliest number since the number one
No is the saddest experience you’ll ever know
Yes is the saddest experience you’ll ever know
cause one is the loneliest number that you’ll ever know
one is the loneliest number even worst then two”
.
My Analysis: 1 is 1, alone is alone, single is single. In the meantime, being with someone (not with in terms of a relationship sense, but perhaps sitting next to in a car or in a waiting room) can still be just as bad (although you can still be in a relationship and feel alone. Not like I’d know from experience, but social knowledge). When it says No is the saddest experience its talking about rejection, even if a member of the opposite sex looks at you a certain way, if an opportunity is missed or denied its not a very good feeling. Yes is the saddest experience means that even if someone says yes, even if you thought you wanted it at a time there could still be a feeling of emptiness after. Just like some No’s are worse than others, some Yes’ are better than others aswell. In terms of relationships I honestly know more about “No” or “missed opportunities” than the “Yes” in life at the moment. Thats probably surprising, since I’ll be 25 on April 12th 2010.
“Do you feel like a fish out of water?”
Honestly when I first decided to write this post, I only had the being alone thought in mind, but then this jumped out of me. I wanted to describe being alone in a crowded room, and thought of this feeling. So here we go:
.
My Analysis: When you take a look at something you should consider all angles it could be looked at and all ways it could be interpreted. This is why pun’s are a fun form of joking, and why people often miss my jokes if they involve a play on words. What I want you to do is think about a fish tank thats “out of water” but I will have people who think of a fish washed up on the shore, a fish laying on the carpet of a living room, or perhaps a fish that someone just caught and is holding in there hand. Due to this, I will paint the picture. I want you to imagine a fish that you would have in a fishtank, no bigger than your index and middle finger when you put them together. Imagine that something happened and somehow the fish is now laying on the counter next to the fishtank it was once in. It is natural to assume that the fish is beginning to die due to lack of oxygen, but this is just semantics and not the important part of feelng like “a fish out of water”. The fish would be looking where it just came from (at least I would, if I was a fish) and wondering how it can get back to where it once was. This is like a fall from grace, and lets face it, nobody starts their life alone. We all start our lives in the fishtank, a small one as infants swimming alone, then a bigger one once we hit elementary school. It is then the choices we make in adolescence that determine the fish we swim with, and if we switch to an emptier tank or not. The chances are pretty good that those who had a nice group of friends through these years, namely highschool, at least have a few friends from this era who remain. It can be said then that those who did not do well in this area, do not have friends from this era and began to swim alone a long time ago. Therefore the fish is looking at all the other fish while he is out of the water, looking at lives that he is not a part of, while still knowing what the fish look like, and a few things about these fish. It could be as simple as their name, or a little about what they like, but it doesn’t mean he gets to swim with these fish and now hes stuck out of water just watching them.

Random Shit / Summary:
.
.In life you are one person, who starts out as knowing nothing about others. There is knowledge that you gain yourself with the help of the media, avenues like facebook, and then theres knowledge that others let you have about them willingly. In life you are alone, but sometimes other people will help you to not be alone. This help has pre-determined conditions, wether these people are related to you or unrelated, and is never permanent (thats why its help).
The early bird gets the worm, and the majority of life is based on first come first serve.
.
Example: A girl you think is beautiful will meet other guy sbefore she meet you, and she might even make life altering choices with these guys. These choices can include serious relationships, marriage, or even kids.
You probably don’t stand a chance. You have to figure out what you want to involve yourself in, because life is a journey and involvement with people other than yourself always incorperates risk. If you are alone you risk nothing. If you try to get to know someone you risk something. People will think you are a fool, silly, and unattractive. They might even act attracted to you or impartial, but then not care to get to know you. This is known as “being nice’. Things can also go the other way — if you’re lucky.

Moral of my story: . . . Yet to be completely determined, decide for yourself.

A few final notes:
Sometimes I wonder why I don’t just give up on life and find the exit.
Why did I write this? Almost everywhere I go it feels like two people are in a relationship, or two people are best of friends. Meanwhile, i’m solo.
The playlist while writing this was:
Jack’s Mannequin – Dark Blue (which I listened to twice)
Something Corporate – Konstantine
(after this point it was on random play, choosing from roughly 12,000 songs)
Blind Melon – No Rain
Keane – Everybody’s Changing
Spin Doctors – Two Princes
This Holiday Life – Tongue Tied
White Town – Your Woman
Armor For Sleep – Awkward Last Words
Dionne Farris – I Know
Augustana – Stars and Boulevards
Joan Osborne – One Of Us
Emma Roberts – This is Me
Tracy Champman – Give Me One Reason
.
So I give myself one reason:
Its Easter Tommorrow.
