The two states of being are as a human being, or a hungry ghost. Semi-regularly you need to ask yourself which you are. Sometimes it is human. Others, alas, it is hungry ghost.

The hungry ghost seeks validity outside of themselves. Someone pining for an indifferent ex is a hungry ghost. Someone who arrives alone at 6:30 on Saturday night to a pub is probably a hungry ghost. Obsessive checking of mobile phones, chat sites or networks are clear signs that one is a hungry ghost.

The best thing to do is just stay home and ride it out. Read a book. Find some good clean fun.
Mate: How are you?
Dumped: I'm a hungry ghost, man.

Mate: What'd ya do last night?
HG: Urg. I hungry ghosted around The Oxford for a few hours, then walked home past her house, and HIS car was there...

Mate: Why'd you call man?! It's just rampant hungry ghostery.

The album that made people realize what they were missing out on, over 4 years of silence in the rap industry as it was almost brought to it's knees, now its brighter than ever.

A good album by Eminem that somehow got him so many haters, its weird, its like before relapse came out 96% of the world liked him and then after relapse 89% of the world liked him. I dont understand relapse is a sick album and yet it made him lose 7% of his fan base in the world, and the whole word including every country in it, thats a lot.

When you break up with someone and get over them, then suffer a relapse and begin to have feelings for them again.
