I'm no longer on planet earth!

I have a long felt want.
Barren of events,
Rich in pretensions
My earthly life.
Obscurity
My real name.
Wholly unto myself
I exist.
I wrap no soul
In my embrace.
No mentor worthy
Of my calibre
Have I.
I am all alone
Between failure
And frustration.
I am the red thread
Between
Nothingness
And Eternity.

I am traveling forward in time.
Are you traveling forward in time or is the universe pushing you forward in time?
Jason
Or are we static whilst moments drop behind us?
I once heard the idea that the universe might collapse someday but if the universe doesn't follow linear time, which I think wormholes is supose to prove this, then wouldn't that mean that if it ends it will end from the start as well.
Does that mean we don't even exisit right now or if the collapse goes backwards does that mean everything, including us might have never been created at all at sometimes tommorow if that is when this implosion of whatever you call it finally reaches this time period?
Jason
We are all travelling into the future at the speed of light at 1 second per second although our heads age more quickly than our feet while standing.
I have a sneaking feeling I exist. Purely subjective of course.....
That has to be it. I am the center of the universe and I will not permit it to push me.
Are we not each in our own private universe?
No, you guys are in mine and it's really getting on my nerves. Back off! Back off, I say.
So anyway: If 1) it's all my private universe, 2) I'm the center of it, and 3) I'm traveling forward in time, why is everyone else coming with me? Shouldn't I have left you all behind by now?
Methinks there's something wrong with one of these assumptions.

I really want a big red belly button to see if people can resist pressing it
“I suppose that one reason I have always detested religion is its sly tendency to insinuate the idea that the universe is designed with 'you' in mind or, even worse, that there is a divine plan into which one fits whether one knows it or not. This kind of modesty is too arrogant for me.”
― Christopher Hitchens, Hitch-22: A Memoir
“But the young educated adults of the 90s -- who were, of course, the children of the same impassioned infidelities and divorces Mr. Updike wrote about so beautifully -- got to watch all this brave new individualism and self-expression and sexual freedom deteriorate into the joyless and anomic self-indulgence of the Me Generation. Today's sub-40s have different horrors, prominent among which are anomie and solipsism and a peculiarly American loneliness: the prospect of dying without once having loved something more than yourself.”
― David Foster Wallace, Consider the Lobster and Other Essays
“Any theory which causes solipsism to seem just as likely an explanation for the phenomena it seeks to describe ought to be held in the utmost suspicion.”
― Iain M. Banks, The Algebraist
“Hell isn't other people. Hell is yourself.”
― Ludwig Wittgenstein

But do you really experience it or are you forced to input and process other people's experiences? If someone walks over to you, you are not experiencing someone walking over to you but that guy is giving you a experience by walking over to you. He creates the moment. Or the perspective of non living material from cars to rocks to the air simply existing. You can't even really think because the very things you think about and your own words come from other places. All you can do is arrange things in a mental narrative.
Jason
Perhaps he isn't experiencing anything as well because why he walks over their is controlled by the input of seeing you. Perhaps you have both being able to create a experience without having a experience. It's just visual and mental impulses in your heads just bouncing off of each other.

Jason
All anyone does is arrange a mental narrative. Perspective. Only one, yours.
