Choices (a poem)
I’ve made choices in life
Damned if I do
Damned if I don’t types
Like a rigged casino
Choices, choices who should I pick
The blonde or the one in the wig
Maybe the redhead if I am in the mood for a scream
Or maybe the old fashioned one instead

For those affected by the fires in Northern California...
My prayers go out to you.
Leigh: Be forewarned. You don't have to say prayers for us. I practice Santeria and we will survive unscathed. We don't want your prayers.
I know that every time we have a bad fire in San Diego, what a scary time it is. Getting the call to evacuate. Having to keep my children indoors, to keep them from breathing the unhealthy air outside was extremely difficult. My young children did not understand why they could not go outside and play. I hope the lives and homes lost are minimal. I always wanted to visit Santa Cruz. What a beautiful landscape. We need those redwood trees!
Leigh: What do you know about Northern California? You said that you were not interested in ever visiting here. Go to hell! Some people think that you are full of it!
My mother wanted to keep me close to her throughout her life. I wanted to attend UC Santa Cruz for college and my mother refused. My parents said they would not pay for me to attend school there. It was too far away from Los Angeles. I already had hippie leanings and smoked pot. They were afraid that I would lose myself and go full blown hippie. They may have prevented me from turning full blown hippie but I just ended up losing myself somewhere else. (at UC Santa Barbara) Losing myself and developing mental illness was inevitable for me. It is in my genes, although my family was unaware of that fact and still denies that mental illness runs in our family. My paternal great grandfather died in a mental institution, but my family tells me that my mental illness is not genetic. I merely experimented with too many drugs, beginning in junior high. As far as I am concerned, both these factors played a part in my mental illness.
Anyway, to Santa Cruz and all areas affected by fires at this time, I am praying for you!

Trick
Don’t let the voices
Trick you into being self-destructive
Or into hurting someone else
And doing their dirty work for them
Let the evil lie with the voices

Don't Come Around Here...
Whose fault is it
That I lost my marriage
That I lost my family
That I lost my nice home
And everything sacred in my world
Who are you anyway
Numerous times you have tried
To walk into my world
And shake it up
But you weren't that serious
And you didn't take action
Don't visit my town
Don't surf my beach
Don't drive past me
I am not amused
It is 432 miles from Carlsbad to Santa Cruz
Don't waste a roadtrip
To ruin my world again
Leigh: He tried to break up your relationship before you were married and it didn't work! Then you came for him after he married me, which would never work! Keep your eyes on the prize, Keith Spellman. You have the best, so forget the rest! I practice Santeria, so be forewarned. Keith will not be leaving me ever. I think it's comical that you left your husband for Keith Spellman, when he is happily married to me. Let me cast a love spell on Keith Spellman, that will get you out of his head!
(I saw Santa Cruz fire trending on Twitter today.)
Esteban: You always wanted to visit Santa Cruz. Today would be a great day to do that! Ha Ha! Walk towards the fire!

Love is an opiate
Love is an opiate of the masses
Love is another opiate of the masses. It starts off good then turns to ■■■■. We are really only in love for a short time. The only way it doesn’t turn to ■■■■ is if your best friends or live separate lives. The problem is that most people marry for looks. That’s probably why the divorce rate is so high.
The best way to do it is date somebody 6 months - one year. Then keep finding new partners.- anonymous

Message from my troll...
Apparently I have this!
I have gastric intestinal metaplasia. My endoscopy found a precancerous lesion in my intestines from excessive GERD. Pretty gross huh? Apparently the problem of acid reflux is more than just a nuisance. It has caused me some internal damage by the time I am 45 years old. I am glad that I did my recommended screening at the appropriate age and did not wait until it was too late. I hope this doesn't turn into Cancer. Hopefully, this can be remedied soon. I am supposed to have another endoscopy at the end of the year.

I wrote this!
So I wrote this depressing song tonight. No I didn’t really. Gary Numan wrote it and it has wonderfully sad lyrics. It is about a lost love. Perfect!

Magic Monday
Lost puppy
Walking around the neighborhood
Glancing at other men
Hoping to be picked up
When she has a husband at home!

Truly Tasteless jokes
Sweet silence
I have enjoyed a "sweet silence" today from my voices. The only raging voices were heard by choice. (From listening to Rage Against The Machine during my hill climb) I am having some stomach pain which is preventing me from running/jogging. I might actually have a problem with my appendix, due to my colonoscopy.
So I am bummed that a mental health website, Psychcentral, used to feature my blog and apparently took it down. It no longer "meets their writing and content standards." What a burn! People are put off by my subject matter, so I occasionally shift into posting music and movie videos that speak to me. Oh well. I was looking back on some old posts and deleting then. A lot of what I post is just TMI anyway. I did post about Barry Manilow in one post, and the YouTuber who posted the video removed it from my site. I think I scared him off. I am not really a fan of Barry Manilow anyway.
My blog can be problematic for me mentally. Blogging and getting page views from across the globe, gives me The Truman Show delusion a lot of the time. I feel like I am secretly famous and everyone is watching me and reading my blog for entertainment. I mean I hope someone out there reading my blog, learns something about mental illness, or gets entetained from what I post.
