This past week my good blogging friend, Raeyn, nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award because, as she said, “[I] keep an awesome blog.” Thank you, Raeyn, you keep an awesome blog as well. Her blog The Scarlet B, is one that I look forward to every day. I suggest my readers check it out. […]
My Doctor Was Right, Dammit!
A week ago I was pretty upset. I had planned to up the number of classes this Fall semester and become a full time student. My pdoc thought otherwise. He told me I should only take 1 class and I fought him on it. Later, based on my respect for him, and on feedback from […]
Wednesday’s Quote: Alyssa Reyans
“The doctor’s words made me understand what happened to me was a dark, evil, and shameful secret, and by association I too was dark, evil, and shameful. While it may not have been their intention, this was the message my clouded mind received. To escape the confines of the hospital, I once again disassociated myself […]
What Do I Want To Be When I Grow Up?
After 40 years it’s nice to finally discover what I want to do with my life. I’ve gone back to school to become a minister/chaplain. The problem with that is getting a BA, then getting a masters degree and then completing an internship will probably take 10 years or more before I finally get a job. Being a man approaching his […]
The Sermon – The Video
I posted the written sermon on mental health that I did a couple of weeks ago, however, I’ve received some requests to see the video. I was writhing in pain when I watched it, so I hope it sits well with all of you. Unfortunately the beginning was cut off. Also, I want to apologize […]
Cancelling Classes
I met with my advisor at school yesterday. I told her that I was following my psychiatrists orders and we began cancelling classes that I was scheduled to attend this Fall. We cancelled them all except for English 101. That’s it. Just one damn class. That’s all I apparently am capable of. I thought I […]
Luscious Jackson – “Mood Swing”
A good friend of mine says she heard this and thought of me, so she posted this on my Facebook page. Now I have to choose this song as my personal theme song, or keep “Unwell” by Matchbox 20 as my theme song. Think, think, think… “Mood Swing” you come and get me […]
School Dazed
Going back to school has been a real bitch. I struggled a lot when I first went back, but this semester is better. I’m making great grades. Granted, I’m only taking one class, but that is beside the point. Being excited I’ve gone ahead and registered for four classes this Fall. The classes I’ve signed […]
What Kind of Week Was It?
Well, it’s the end of the week and I’ve had it in my head that it’s been a good week and was wondering what I could post about today. Then I realized something – I have totally ignored my food intake and my exercise this entire week. I don’t know what my weight is currently, […]
What I Believe: Unitarian Universalism
In my previous post I put a copy of a sermon I did on Sunday. A couple of people were not familiar with Unitarian Universalism and I said I should post about it again. Well, I’m being lazy today so instead of typing a new one, I’m reblogging the previous post I did a few […]
