Knocking items off the list...

* Signed up for a class on writing screenplays today. It's a 6 week course, starting April 13th. I'm pleased about this.

* I'm signed up with my old instructor at a local music shop for bass lessons. He'll tell me that I'm an idiot and doing everything wrong, and I'll know that nothing ever changes in my small...

thanks...

sounds like things are okay wink
dmac:
I like how you're really trying to stick to the list. That's awesome. I can't exactly say I'd have that same amount of commitment or focus so GOOD FOR YOU!

Screenplay writing, eh? That's fantastic. But the bass lessons/band networking thing sounds awesome too. I really hope you can land a place in a band that will feed that creative part of you. Keep us posted!

The hippies say hi, by the way. wink How's the girl?

It feels like the whole back of my head is going to pop off. This is always the sensation that accompanies confusion and depression. Whenever I find myself blocked and completely unable to take any sort of real course of action, this is what I feel. Like the back of my head is going to pop off. Like there is so much pressure in there,...

I'm tired too. Daylight Savings doesn't help.

When I'm really depressed, I feel electrical current sensations in my head. It's scary
dmac:
I know exactly how you feel.



Not sure how to fix it, but I hope you feel less "unhinged" soon. smile

The Old Man has lost it. We went to visit him at the hospital tonight and he spoke of gritty sand in his water, looked for a can of soda in the railings of his bed, and answered the pillow like a telephone when an alarm went off to notify the nurse that he needed... something. Don't know what he needed. There were an...

Galaxy,

Is your grandpa getting enough oxygen? I remember when my husband's grandmother was in the hospital, she was completely not herself (confused, shouting) one day and that was the problem. Also visit him all the time, which I'm sure you already do, he will get more attention.

and LOL @ making sparks with your hands. I do stuff like that too (never thought about videotaping the sparks in the throes of passion though, but that would have a lot of artistic merit!).

How old is your cousin's little boy? What makes you think he has autism?
lovebite:
I'm so sorry about your grandfather....we went through the same thing with my grandma, reading your blogs has made me think a lot about her...I know it's hard, but I have a lot of respect for you being there....i remember a lot of the family especially the other grandchildren were absent during the last year of her life and it angered me so, they were all caught up in their own lives and only showed up at the end to fight over who got the antiques and other crap.....I wish I could hug you and be there for you, but even though were far apart in distance, I'm always here........I also feel for you when it comes to your cousin's child, after high school i took some child development/psychology classes and had the privledge to work with a lot of mentally disabled and autistic children, i will keep him in my prayers.....and about your mattress (evil grin), I'd love to........um, maybe someday

P.S. not the best picture, but I hope you like it anyway....I'm blowing you some kisses, hope you're able to catch them

Love..?

Is it? Was it? Might it be in the future?
I'm living a life in limbo at the moment.
Hard to tell which--if any--of the three it could (have) be(en).


I (en)joy speak(ing) in (parent)hetical snippet(s).

Portland seems so far away right now. I feel lost. Ohio is an empty place. There isn't much for me here. I visited my grandfather in the hospital...

I have the theme from Dr. Who beating through my brain. I'm trying very hard to sort out just why that is. I find it a wee bit disturbing on some levels, yet oddly comforting on others.

Everything that follows will have absolutely no relevance to that fact.

I moved home because my grandfather is failing. Rapidly. I picked a random date, set it as...

I'm not sure how often I'll be able to log on over the next week... so... be good.

So long, Portland.

Adding to "The List":

Try an open mic night at a comedy club... maybe. If I can create 10 minutes worth of halfway funny material, I'll give it a shot. It frightens the hell out of me to be the focal point of a big room full of strangers, but... "you never know until you try".

In a related note:

Made of awesome = dmac...

Dying is easy, comedy is hard, it has been said.

There's something to be said for the harder things in life. wink

I think you'd be a great comic.
