A Post About...What...Huh?

When you have ADD and depression it can definitely mess with your concentration and focus!

Squirrel!

It's been keeping me from writing much lately...then my wife gave me a book called "Healing Through Writing"...which might as well be titled Neener Neener Neener, since with my affliction I was barely able to read the title! 

At least I was able to remember it and write it here!!

I'm healed!!

(heavy sigh)

Postscript:

The actual title of that book is "Writing As A Way Of Healing...How Telling Our Stories Transforms Our Lives"

(whew)

I'm trying!

That Face

If you scroll down you'll see that picture of me that I posted on my birthday...I keep looking at that old picture of myself standing on the front lawn of our house on Lincoln St. in my Mickey Mouse shorts holding up a book, smiling and giving some half-assed wave to the camera. I was probably 4 years old, and there is something about that smile...it's not quite happy...at first I thought it was because I was facing into the sun and just squinting, but the more I look at it, the more it looks like I was not all that happy to be there taking a picture with this stupid book! Forget the mouth, you can always tell a real smile in the eyes. 

Maybe I was just anxious because the sun was blinding me...take the picture already!

I seem to have that same strained smile on my face a lot lately.

My Mom did always say if you make that face...

It's The Little Things...

...that piss me off!

Don't Grow Up! It's A Trap!

I hear 'em singing Happy Birthday
Better think about the wish I made
This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake
Every day's a revolution
Pull it together and it comes undone
I got one more candle and a trip around the sun

I'm just hanging on while this old world keeps spinning
And it's good to know it's out of my control
If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living
Is that it wouldn't mean a thing if I let go

No, you never see it coming
Always wind up wondering where it went
Only time will tell if it was time well spent
It's another revelation
Celebrating what I should have done
With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun

I keep hanging on while this old world keeps spinning
And it's good to know it's out of my control
If there's one thing that I've learned from all this living
Is that it wouldn't mean a thing if I let go

Yes, I'll make a resolution
That I'll never make another one
And just enjoy my ride on this trip around the sun!

Finally, Brothers And Sisters...

Whatever is true, whatever is noble,

Whatever is right, whatever is pure,


Whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable;


If anything is excellent or praiseworthy,



Think about such things!

Schfifty-Five

My wife showed me this strange animated video called Schfifty-Five.

I'm not sure I really get it, or why it's funny, or if it's really funny...but today I turn schfifty-five, and I guess that's the only reason it is appropriate or relevant!
