I Stepped In Dog Shit Today - Not Poop - Shit
All I ask is that people that walk their dogs pick up their dog's nasty huge bodily function extractions so that I don't have to.

My Gums Are Receeding Too
Just when you think it can't get any worse - it does. Now dental problems??? My trip to the neurologist and dentist yesterday was quite disturbing and yet informative. More unknowns and unsure determinations. You might have a blood clot in your neck that we might have to surgically fix. You might be...

I Just Love My Kids
During this very difficult time in my life - my children have been my encouragement and inspiration. I have often said to them "What the hell happened to me?" There answers are always the same - mom - you accomplished so much and now someone needs to help you. You will be fine. Sometimes I cry in...

"Are These People Poor Because They're Nuts...
or nuts because they are poor?" Alas, yet another trip to the Welfare Office and Keeko (my son the big-shot film director) drove me there and asked me that question. He just wrapped up filming his second feature film and is taking time off to edit and drive his lunatic mother around. And he...

How About Some Good Old Fashioned Shock Treatment Doc?
Let's see - stop driving / stop drinking / stop doing anything physically exerting / stop thinking / stop taking pain medication / stop taking your valium for panic attacks (even though you have anxiety disorder)/ and hop on a claustrophobic stinky bus and ride down to the looney outpatient bin. Why...

Opening Pandora's Box
Sometimes when we venture into our pasts - we discover how we created the present. I had my first session with my new psychiatrist today named Dr. Nathaniel. He is 30ish, black, well-educated, and so warm and engaging. Our mission today was to dealve into my childhood and see if patterns of behavior...

"You're Not Wacko Crazy - Just Normal Crazy"
Okay - that clears alot up. And judging from the other people in the waiting room yesterday - the intake specialist was right. When the guy sitting next to me was swearing vehemently just filling out the part of the form about where he lives - I kind of started feeling uneasy. Then my eyes spotted a...

Giggling Without Marijuana
Ever meet someone that you just click with when it comes to being silly? In my early youth in 1974 it usually involved the use of a water bong or hash pipe - but then again - an ounce of weed was only $30 back then and not as powerful as today.

Depression
Depression is sneaky - it creeps upon you like a spider. Then surrounds you with its web of confusion and paranoia. Depression is like a nightmare non-stop airplane ride to Hawaii. First you start off happy and excited - midstream you begin to get restless and anxious - then you cling to life as the...
