January 14, 2009:

Blocked, in every direction.

Constrained to immobility. Bounded to stasis. Hindered, impeded, obstructed, thwarted, forestalled, curbed, proscribed, prohibited, disallowed, arrested. Prevented. Blocked. At rest without restfulness. Bound.

Where every forward step is a battle and every battle leads to collapse. Try, don't try: you land in the same location.
