do we need guitars?

I was just reading the "starting over" post on Mars Need Guitars, a blog I used to follow earlier to check out music before it disappeared into oblivion. It's funny what depression can do to you, it can slowly eat away all that is inside of you and even before you know what hit you, you are already spiritually dead. A lot of things in that post reminded me of myself, someone who too is trying to get past every day; and (luckily) somehow succeeding at it. I just wish I could start afresh and do things that I want to do: write some short stories, write the book that always I wished to write, get away from this meaningless stuff and just break free. Maybe, one of these days, I will.
