Empty AI – 22nd November 2025

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ 5 Comments

A is for the Ache inside my vacant chest,
the hollow, yet weighty uninvited guest;

B is for the Bridges that I burned too fast,
their embers scattered to a forgotten past;

C is for the Clock upon the wall,
whose ticking measures nothing much at all;

D is for the Doorway where we say goodbye,
and the emptiness gathers to multiply;

E is for Ennui….

The idea inspired by this Existential Comic (#602) and given a hand by AI (hence the title).

This Is Awkward – 2nd January 2025

Spending so long seeking the solution
The geniuses all come and go
Is the quest for knowledge just an illusion
When the answers’ children already know?

Inspired by Existential Comics #570

Today I’m feeling:

Pretty good again but still with a little dizziness. I got up at 6.30 am to get to the hospital by 7 and proceeded with my health checks, blood, poop and pee etc.

All reports were good except for something a little higher than normal connected with perhaps too much sugar/carb intake and they suggested a follow-up in three months.

I also booked a prostate exam and have a physio appointment later this month for my shoulder.

After that, I went off to immigration for my 90-day check, ate some lunch at Oasis, paid off my debt at Utopia and was back home by midday.

Health:

Physical: 7
Mental: 7

Today I’m grateful for:

All the hospital staff who helped me again and the nurses who hooked me up the EKG and were laughing at some private joke, possibly/probably, at my expense.

The best thing about today was:

Feeling like I was getting things done and there being lots of time.

Something I learned today?

My general health seems to be pretty good. Whilst it doesn’t explain all the aches, pains and dizziness I experience, at least they don’t point to anything serious.
